hearing the familiar voice, hazel hues darted back over his shoulder.” only the ones who are here for a good time, not a long one.” he mused with a small chuckle.” while we wait should i describe in detail all the different shots you had last night and see how long it takes you to get that lump in your that, ready to vom.”

“if by that logic... i’ll be dead by the end of the semester.” tony replied in a slur of words as he flashed a small smirk at his cousin, adjusting the backpack strap on his shoulder. as lep spoke he felt his stomach turn and the idea of liquor being in his body was less than ideal. “please.. please shut the fuck up.” he begged as he tilted his head. “you’re in the crosshairs if i do hurl.. i’d be careful what you wish for.” he loomed ominously. 

“tony, darling.” devon grinned as she stood up from where she’d been half-seated, half-lounging at one of the cafeteria tables. somehow, even with a hangover and perfectly smudged mascara, she always managed to form a bright smile for her friend. “bring me a sandwich, too.” she begged as her hands beckoned him to join her once he was done. she hadn’t even made it home yet and was still clad in her party dress from the night before but had decided that her classes could absolutely be missed due to her intense need for a gallon of water and six pots of coffee. devon sunk back into the chair once again, her feet finding a place atop the table while she watched him playfully in his disheveled state. 

tony’s head lazily swung over to the voice that pulled him from the stranger beside him, eyebrows furrowed as he rubbed his eyes. “are you a figment of my imagination? am i still black out drunk?” he hummed as he leaned forward, eyes squinting in her direction with a soft grin. “fine, fine... toasted?” he called out as he watched her depart. he gave himself five minutes before growing far too impatient and conning his way to the front of the queue. moments later he was spotted stumbling out of the line, tray of coffee and warm food at the ready as he found his way back to devon, delicately placing the offerings onto the table as he sat down, straddling the bench as he rested his forehead against his palm. “here.” he murmured, pushing her order towards her.

still enduring a raging headache from the night before, mari stormed into the dining hall, arms folded across her chest. as much as she enjoyed all of her antics from the night before, she was starting to pay the price for it. it was only a matter a time before someone felt her wrath. fortunately for one of her professors with an early class, she simply left the class before it finished, grumpy as ever. now in line for a quick snack and coffee, she rolled her eyes at the sound of a fellow student’s voice. “thanks for stating the obvious, dipshit.” glancing back at him, she assessed him from head to toe, before facing forward again, “and you’re way too close to me. ever heard of personal space?”

tony had been a bit caught off guard with the tone forced at him as he looked down at the girl he was now speaking to. his head cocked to the side and he let out a laugh as he chewed on his lower lip. “someone’s angry.” he huffed as he pulled at the straps of his back, eyebrow raised as she seemed to shun him off. as he eyed the space between them his eyebrows furrowed and he shook his head. “if you think this is close you must be real fun at parties.” he muttered as he kicked at the ground. 

impatience was not a virtue, at least not today for daphne. standing in queues brought out the worst in some people, especially when hunger and food was on the line. the small girl attempted to keep her huffing to a minimum as she checked her watch every 5 minutes, on the minute. her class started soon and yet, she refused to go without at least something to settle the beast in her stomach. it wasn’t until the scent of stale beer and the shadow of a 6 foot giant made its way behind her. daphne chuckled - she recognised anthony from the many parties thrown by the ALPHA house, pretty sure they’ve said a drunken word or two to each other once before. those nights were still a blur, however  - no one could be sure. “that’s what you get for waking up at midday, buddy.” daphne said, her voice playfully enticing a condescending tone as she addressed his disheveled hair and slumping stance. “i’d give you my spot, but i haven’t moved in fifteen minutes. doubt you’d have much luck.” 

“probably for the best i scheduled classes after one pm...” tony spoke softly as he squinted at the menu, a soft blur forgoing any attempt to read it though he knew it was useless, he’d only order the same thing he always did. he felt his stomach growl and he was beginning to feel impatient, his eyes flicking between the red head and the counter as he let out a sigh. “do i look that bad?” he asked as he rand a few fingers through his hair, wishing in that moment that he had remembered to grab the baseball cap that hung from his bed post. “fifteen minutes? fuck.. serious? i don’t think i can last that long.. how much you think it’d be to rush the process and hightail my way to the front?” he asked playfully.

not that his math was up to par at the moment but if fin were to have ventured a guess he’d say that he’d managed to get about a hour-twenty worth of sleep the previous night. tag onto that that he’d been sprawled out on a bench near admissions and, well, his current half-there state wasn’t all the big a shock. but oh, what he wouldn’t do for a mouthful of pancakes. “fair enough considering,” fin nodded, looking back in tony’s direction but his mind ten thousand paces back, dancing between memories of johnny walker and red solo cup concoctions. “some of them got the right idea at least. i mean… in my experience only two things that can cure it.” before needing to be prompted, fin lifted two fingers. “hair of the dog.” an obvious. “and bacon.”

tony let out a soft groan as he looked at fin, his stomach turning uneasily as he craved the sweet release of breakfast and any sort of caffeine that would dull the throbbing ache behind his eyes. all he could think about was. flashes of lost memories flooded from the previous night that only made his face twist in disgust. “were you there last night?” he asked with a curious expression as he forced the cap off his water bottle to take a long sip, tongue catching a few droplets as he shoved the bottle into the side pocket of his bag. “three things.. add a bong rip to the occasion and that’s a full fledged cure to any hangover.” he mused.

with   a   large   pair   of   sunglasses   serving   a   double   purpose   of   sheilding   her   weary   eyes   from   the   sunlight   &   hanging   the   large   gags   underneath   her   bloodshot   eyes   -   rose   made   her   way   through   the   crowded   hall   &   towards   the   universities   food   hall.   a   number   of   people   approached   her   ,   but   she   was   way   too   fragile   to   be   dealing   with   people   today   ,   so   she   dismissed   them   with   a   single   wave   of   her   hand   as   she   continued   through   the   students.   once   she   got   into   the   queue   ,   she   recognised   the   familiar   frame   in   front   of   her.   she   pushed   passed   the   people   in   front   of   her   ,   ignoring   the   complaints   that   she   recieved   about   jumping   the   queue   &   rested   an   almost   flirtatous   hand   on   her   back.   “okay,   you   have   a   fucking   sexy   voice   -   but   do   you   mind   not   yelling   in   my   tender   ears?”   she   replied,   before   covering   her   mouth   with   disgust   when   the   smell   of   burgers   reached   her   nose.   

tony had almost equated the voice to be a mirrage though with the hand on his back and her presence now by his side he couldn’t help but chuckle lowly with a soft roll of his eyes. his arm came to wrap around her shoulder, his thumb brushing against her bicep as she spoke. “i wasn’t yelling, you’re just delicate.” he mused as he eyed her reaction. he relaxed his posture, head tilting at the small line before him before his gaze shifted back to rose. “what do you want? i’ll push my way to the front, you can get some fresh air before you..die on me here..” he hummed into her ear before pulling back to judge her reaction
