*Drinking Contest - For Logan*

[watch_the_nails]

*Just as he'd said, Victor was waiting outside his tent at sunset, a couple of bottles of whiskey already lying on the grass beside him; he'd brought them with him from their previous camp, having bought them from the town where they'd made their day trip. Or maybe it wasn't even whiskey, he couldn't read the labels on the bottles properly since

*To say that Logan was not looking forward to this would be an understatement. Victor always did this - always goaded him into things that Logan didn't want to do. Logan knew it, knew Victor was doing it, but he usually fell for it anyway. He was too damn stubborn to back down. At least he was feeling better than he had the previous day - probably about as good as he could feel, without the healing factor. He'd drunk ridiculous amounts of water, and eaten a decent amount as well. All in all, he was about as ready for this as he'd ever be. And he was still screwed

What, you want to chicken out already, before we've even started?

*He laughed at that, picking up one of the bottles as Logan approached and wrenching off the lid, raising it to his lips and taking a thirsty swig before wiping at his mouth with the back of his hand. Shit, this stuff really burned the back of your throat when it went down, and it had one hell of a kick. He'd never really noticed that before.*

Don't be a pussy, Jimmy.

I'm here, ain't I?

*That was it, then. Victor was intent on going through with this, and Logan couldn't stop it. He sat down, opened a bottle for himself, and took a good gulp. His stomach protested a little as the alcohol hit, seeming to remember what had happened before, but it soon settled again.*

How do we do this? The first to pass out loses?

Sounds like a plan to me. You always were the first one to get sick when we were little.

*He meant before their mutations had kicked in, of course. But that didn't stop him hoping that somehow that trait would have carried on into adulthood, that even now, Logan would prove to have the weaker constitution and would be the first to fall. With hos brother's superior healing ability taken out of the equation, it would be a chance to prove that he could be the stronger one after all.*
