Finbar poured the drink into the glass, watching the pink liquid sparkle in the kitchen lights. He felt a bit slower than usual as he stood up and brought it to Kyana, who requested it. "That stuff is incredibly sweet, are you sure you didn't want something with less sugar added, Kyana?" He asked, sitting down to her.
"No, I prefer it with all the sugar!" Kyana said before taking a sip.
"Y'know all the idiots in the Heap think they are impressive for only drinking beer!" Dani suddenly declared, popping out from the pile of cushions her and VR-LA had created on the couch.
"Beer tastes bad." VR-LA helpfully added before going back under the cushions like some kind of mole.
"Most girly drinks get you drunk way faster." Dani declared, pulling herself out the cushions to go mix herself another drink.
"They can, yeah. I used to mix our drinks at the Sprite's Spring on busy nights, and there were a group of college girls who'd come by in groups to drink before the proper bars opened. They usually got drunk pretty quickly, would sometimes specifically ask me to make their drinks since I didn't judge substitutions as much." Finbar said. "Hey Dani, while you are in the kitchen, can you grab me a water? I'm already over sharing." Finbar asked.
"Lame, no." Dani said, despite actively pouring Finbar a cold glass.
"Why are you pouring water? You just said you wouldn't." Finbar questioned, leaning back to look into the kitchen at Dani.
"Fuck you, no I'm not." Dani said, moving to hand Finbar his water, who gratefully took it.
"Thank you, Dani." Finbar said, taking a swig of his water.
"Fuck you, no I'm not." Dani repeated, moving back to the kitchen to get her own drink. "VR-LA, do you want anything else to drink too?" Dani asked.
"Yes." VR-LA said from within his cushion pile.
"Well, what do you want?" Dani asked as she pulled out her own drink.
"..vinoooo.." VR-LA said, sinking slowly under his cushions.
"Fuck off. What does that mean?" Dani asked, already grabbing a wine glass and a wine bottle for VR-LA.
"Thanks.." VR-LA muttered, slipping back down under his cushions fully, becoming invisible. "..table."
"Put it on the table?" Dani asked, seeing the cushion pile move in a motion similar to a nod and putting the wine glass down on the table.

Kyana was bawling her eyes out, leaning on Finbar as she did. "And then.. and then! Ione said she couldn't hang out with me!"
"Fuck her!" Dani loudly declared, kicking at the coffee table with a whoop.
"Doesn't Ione work that day? It makes sense she couldn't." Finbar questioned, promptly receiving a deathly tight squeeze from a still crying Kyana.
"Ione works at a cool gym.." VR-LA muttered, laying on the floor, due to the fact his cushions fell maybe twenty minutes before.
"Ione never hangs out with me..!!" Kyana shouted, tears dramatically streaming down her face.
"Your schedules just don't match?" Finbar was so tired and very used to drunk people.
"Fuck you, Finbar! Kyana is being neglected! Mistreated!" Dani yelled, trying to kick the air only to fall onto the floor. "Ow! Fuck!"
VR-LA laughed quietly, "Ione asked me for advice yesterday!"
"What did she ask you, VR-LA?" Dani asked, interested in the new gossip being brought to the table. "Was it about Kyana?"
"Um.. fuck. What was it?" VR-LA questioned.
"Oooh, you said fuck!" Dani said, receiving a laugh from VR-LA.
"So did you!" He responded, looking over at Dani.
"Fuck you!" Dani said, rolling over to lay on the ground next to VR-LA.
"So, what did Ione ask you?" Kyana asked through sniffles, still holding onto Finbar like he was a throw pillow.
"Oh, yeah!" VR-LA said, pausing to think. "She's getting a new job! Something.. something.. her schedule means she has no time for you."
Kyana promptly burst into tears again. Finbar sighed and pat her on the back. "Kyana, why don't you go take a shower?" Finbar suggested, hoping that maybe Kyana would calm down after a shower.
"But.. but, who'll watch Dani and VR-LA?" Kyana asked, looking up at Finbar with sad eyes. Finbar wondered if she was that drunk to really think she was helping babysitting.
"I will, don't worry about them. I'll keep them entertained. Go shower." Finbar encouraged, and Kyana slowly nodded.
"Go shower!" Dani yelled, far too loud.
"Go shower!" VR-LA practically whispered.
"Okay.." Kyana said, slowly standing up and unstably walking to the bathroom.
"Entertain us, Finbar." Dani said, staring up at Finbar from her spot on the floor next to VR-LA.
"Entertain us!" VR-LA repeated before giggling like a kid.
"No. I'm getting you two water. You're both taking a nap after." Finbar declared, getting up to move to the kitchen.
"That's mean!" VR-LA responded, trying to sit up, only partially succeeding.
"Fuck you, Finbar!" Dani shrieked.
