consider czeslaw getting pyro drunk. at first it's only to watch them squirm at the strength of the harsh 40% proof spirits in whatever flask or bottle he's always carrying around with him, but the faces pyro makes encourages him to keep feeding him sip after sip (their lips touch the same bottle and czeslaw tries very hard to be normal about that) and pyro's tellin ghim no, that's enough, he's proved he can handle it, haven't they? but czelsaw eggs him on, laughing at the way his face scrunches up and he all but chokes on the neat alcohol
soon enough pyro starts feeling it. it's not like drinking is something they do often at all, especially not straight swigs one after the other, feeling their awareness slowing down and czeslaw spots it with interest when he sways slightly in place, his words coming out slower as they try to keep their speech clear and start readily accepting the bottle when it's passed, as if it wasn't originally to take them off guard and make them vulnerable.
czeslaw has a much better tolerance, the alcohol settling in and feeling more normal than being sober (it's no secret he's an alcoholic. pyro's often seemed almost worried about it, but it doesn't seem like they're complaining now) and it's almost comfortable. almost
pyro asks him a question and he doesn't quite hear it, too focused on the flush on his face that czeslaw's finding himself quite taken with. before he can respond, pyro's leaned in and all too quickly he's all too close, there are lips on his and they're kissing him so clumsily, teeth knocking together, but it's so desperate and czeslaw can't help but whine into it because it feels so /right/ and they fumble and grab and touch and pyro's such a lightweight czeslaw hopes it's probable he won't remember all that they've done by the morning
Sorry for taking so long to respond to this but I have been Thinking about it because it's. So so good. Augh
CzesÅaw probably invited Pyro there under the guise of just "hanging out", pretending he's going to be all nice. Both of them know he's lying, but Pyro comes anyways. Maybe he's scared of saying no, or maybe there are other reasons - they might be nervous about going for reasons other than just fear, but really none of that is important if you ask them.
And mmmm CzesÅaw being an alcoholic. Yeah. I'm stealing that because you're absolutely correct. He drinks way too much to relax and calm down, while Pyro hardly ever does. Drinking alone is no fun and it isn't like they have many friends to go out with. And they've always been worried about something exactly like this happening, drinking too much and ending up saying or doing something they'll regret, with CzesÅaw telling everyone to humiliate him more... but eventually he's drunk enough that he doesn't care, he doesn't feel afraid of CzesÅaw at all in fact. Why would they feel afraid or nervous when CzesÅaw is just so pretty and looking at them like he's never looked at them before? Maybe CzesÅaw is drunk too and neither of them will remember this. CzesÅaw at least will, he's drank nowhere near as much as Pyro has and he has a higher alcohol tolerance anyways.
But they can both pretend they won't remember anything. Maybe tomorrow when they wake up in bed together they can pretend they have no idea what happened, ignore the bright red marks all over each other, ignore how exhausted they both still feel. Act like nothing even happened once they have their clothes on again. (Even if they never look at each other the same way again and most people can tell something happened even if they'd never guess what)
