Becoming the Luna

"Someone is at the door." Virgil says suddenly with a tight look on his face.

Hayden frowns, he hadn't heard any knocking but he's also realized that his ears don't always work when his lover is kissing his breath away. "Really?" He blinks in surprise.

"Yes." Virgil affirms, picking him up with him as he gets to his feet.

Hayden is used to being manhandled like this so he just throws his arms around Virgil's neck and lets him do what he wants, he is still floating on a huge cloud of happiness anyway, he thinks to himself, twisting the rings on his fingers with the ghost of a smile gracing his bruised lips.

Virgil just throws open the door when he gets there, unsurprised by the crowd that tumbles in.

Not Hayden though who hadn't expected it, gasping in shock when his mom, Shana, Mae, and Jaxie jumped up with a huge banner that read "Cheers to the two of you… and to the love you share!" and throw glitter around, a mini trumpet in Renee's hands with a smaller sign in one hand that reads… "I'm so proud of you for choosing to marry out of love and not a surprise pregnancy."

"I'm going to tell her." Mae whispers furiously, holding up one end of the banner.

"Don't you dare." Shana whispers back to her, in charge of throwing around multicolored glitter from a fancy basket.

A meow drags Hayden's attention to the ground and he sees Apple with a huge bowtie slapped on her head, a tag that reads wedding present on her body.

"Congratulations!!!" They finally exclaim with excitement after untangling themselves from the ground.

That was the breaking point, Hayden breaks out in sobs again, burying his face in Virgil's neck.

"Come in." Virgil invites tightly, not wanting the entire Pack House to show up due to their ruckus.

Shana immediately turns to her girlfriend. "Pay up, metalhead, I told you he would cry."

Mae just curses under her breath, bringing out a hundred dollar bill from her pocket to which Shana quickly stashes away.

They retire to the living room and Shana immediately goes to get glasses for the champagne they had brought.

"Wait." Renee frowns, taking a good look at Virgil's hand, she had wanted to see what the rings looked like. "You're married?" She exclaims in disbelief. "Without us?!"

"Who's married?" Shana waltzes back in with the cups, while Apple just tumbles past with a frustrated meow as she tries to get the big bow off her.

Hayden just quietly watches on from the safe confines of his future husband's arms as Virgil gets stuck with explaining to his mom about the rings, his crying subsides so he actually tries to join the conversation.

"When's the wedding?!" Shana asks excitedly.

"They just got engaged." Jaxon scolds her.

The visitors don't stay long, Jaxon taking it on himself to drag the three nosy women away to give the couple some privacy.

"Hayden?" Virgil asks with slight concern when his smaller lover crawls out of his arms to grab a half-full bottle of champagne, pouring a glass full of the liquid-gold drink to gulp it down.

"Hayden?" He repeats, louder when the contents of the glass quickly disappear and Hayden's trembling hands just move to pour more, tiny fingers wrapped around the neck of the bottle in a way that makes Virgil heat up.

Hayden just hiccups, staring up at his boyfriend with hazy eyes, he's sitting on his knees beside the table, another shot of the fruity wine in his glass.

"Hmm? Does… does V wan' sum?…" another hiccup "...Hmm?" He prompts, getting up unsteadily and making his way in Virgil's direction.

Virgil just watches on in amusement, he knows Hayden can't hold his liquor and also hates the harsh burn of alcohol so he doesn't think he's ever seen him drunk.

He watches on still, coolly when the brunette crawls up his body, one small hand wrapped around the slender stem of the champagne glass.

Hayden presses his body up against his, a hand trailing over his chest. Hiccup. "Does my baby want a sip? He asks again, waving the drink invitingly in front of his face.

Virgil notes that the stutter fades with how inebriated he gets, he should probably stop him but he has to see this through - for science.

"I'll give you, you want it, don't you?" He takes a big sip of the drink at this point and before Virgil can figure out his next movements, surges forward and joins their lips together, pouring the sweet liquid down his throat.

Virgil finds that he can't fault this mode of being given a drink, licking his lips when Hayden leans back with a bewildered look on his face.

He glances at the glass in his hand that has somehow not spilled yet and at Virgil's lips, glancing at the drink in his hand again.

Virgil just watches his boyfriend have a mini-meltdown over what he's not sure of.

"You taste better." Hayden finally says with an air of finality and throws the rest of the contents of the cup into his mouth, yeeting the cup over his head.

Virgil doesn't even have the time to panic over the thrown cup that would most likely get smashed to bits when his face gets grabbed again and more of the wine is splashing into his mouth, Hayden licking after it like he wants to go in with the wine.

He lets Hayden do as he wants, letting him lead the kiss which he only fumbles a little at the start of when he wasn't sure if to kiss him or chase after the taste of pressed grapes.

He gently places his hands on the other's waist, carefully watching him for any sign of discomfort, he loved Hayden, he really did but he wasn't interested in him throwing up in the middle of their steamy kiss.

The alcohol content in the champagne isn't that excessive though so there's a very little chance of that, he just has to…

A huff of breath gets expelled when Hayden grinds down, his thought processes screeching to a halt, and his grip around his waist tightening which makes Hayden moan softly in his mouth, slick tongue delving deeper in his mouth.

A drunk Hayden was very very dangerous...
