โsylus is clingy when heโs drunk <3
tags: drabble, alcohol, sfw, fluff, drunk! sylus, clingy! sylus, love confessions, sylus cries (heโs being a little dramatic), basically you babying sylus for the entire fic
youโre not quite sure how it ended up like this.
you know that sylusโs alcohol tolerance is average (he had told you so himself), but you didnโt imagine that itโd be anything lower than yours. it had started as a joke, while the both of you were slightly tipsy; you had said something about wanting to see him drunk, curious about if he was sleepy, clingy, or whatever else while in that state.
and now, youโre here with your giant, six-foot-three boyfriend who is hanging his head over your shoulder and clinging to you like a weighted blanket.
โsy, baby, youโve got to get up,โ you rub his shoulder, โi think you need some water, honey.โ
sylus grumbles in that low, frustrated tone that you only ever really hear when he fails to get a plushie for you at the claw machine.
โno,โ he says, stubbornly, nuzzling his face into the crook of your neck as if he can avoid responsibility by hiding there.
you have seen sylus tipsy before, but not quite as drunk as he is now. heโs flushed from the tips of his ears and down to his chest, mumbling and groaning like a tired kid after a full day at the amusement park. not only has he been stubbornly sitting on your lap for the past two minutes, but heโs been leaving little wine-stained kisses all over you face.
โiโm serious, sylus. i think youโre a little too far gone.โ
โ โm right here, kitten,โ he slurs. โhow can i be far?โ
โexactly my point, my love.โ
with a heavy head, sylus looks up at you, gaze a little unfocused from the buzz. thereโs an almost youthful innocence to him, his eyes round like a big cat; the complete opposite of the internationally-wanted criminal the world knows him as. youโre tempted to call him adorable.
โi could never be far away from you, ever. itโd kill me, kitten.โ
you raise a brow at him, โthat was quite dramatic there, sy. are you sure you donโt need the water?โ
sylus frowns, โdonโt.โ
you laugh, โdonโt what? give you water?โ
he purses his lips in a way that looks like youโve offended him. soon, unsteady, large hands come up to cup your face, staring into your eyes with a softness.
โmy feelings are real. i belong with you in every lifetime.โ
sylus has always had a habit of confessing his love to you at the most random time of dayโyou like to call it his shakespearian impulseโbut you didnโt think itโd stay while he was intoxicated.
โoh gosh,โ you laugh, truly taken aback. โeven when youโre drunk, youโre a romantic! this is so cute.โ
sylus, however, does not find this situation to be cute at all and frowns at you, his brows squished in frustration. at first, you think that heโs just pouting, the way drunk people tend to. but when you see the watery shine in his eyes, you soon realize that you are completely wrong.
โoh my god, sylus, are you crying?โ you panic, grabbing a small napkin from amongst the mess of half-eaten steak and sticky wine glasses and bringing it to his face.
โnoโฆ itโs the sun. it hurts my eyes,โ he mumbles, despite the fact that you are, in fact, wiping away the tears running down his cheek.
โthe sun, rightโฆโ he is way, way too far gone. โwhy are you upset, my love?โ
sylus stares at you in an almost accusing way. youโre sitting there in silence for an awkward five seconds before he leans in, pressing his face into your chest.
you blink, โsay that again for me, baby?โ
he sighs as he pulls back, just enough to look you straight in the eyes. thereโs a very determined look on his face, though you still feel like you canโt quite figure out whatโs going on in his mind.
โyou didnโt say it,โ he repeats, โsay you belong with me.โ
the serious tone of his voice makes it near impossible to stifle the laugh that comes out of you. thatโs what he was so upset about? thank goodness no one has ever seen him drunk but you.
โoh, sylus,โ you coo, tilting your head so that you can plant a soft kiss to his cheek. โof course i belong with you. iโm sorry i didnโt say it back quickly enough.โ
โin every lifetime,โ he insists, โtogether.โ
you pull him in for a hug, kissing his forehead, then nose, then lips. he stares at you in awe, like you put the stars in the sky and the ocean on earth, full of love for you, like he always is.
โin every lifetime, together.โ
