But Mom! It's Fat Tuesday!
Characters: Anastas, Sunny, possibly Adelaide
Setting: Downtown NOLA. Fat Tuesday.
Content: SFW. Language.
Summary: Stas offers beads to the ladies. It ends badly.


Stas had wanted to go to Quinn's mardi gras bash, but the incident from the Snowflake Ball was still too close to the surface. It was clear that his friend didn't approve of his girlfriend and he didn't want another incident of Sunny being turned green.

So it was that he decided they'd go downtown to the massive Fat Tuesday celebrations. He had earned several beads early in the day flashing the ladies. He snatched a bunch more on the way and intended to give them out as the evening progressed.

He was already happily drunk and holding Sunny's hand. He had a flask stashed in his back pocket, but there was a good chance they'd get drunk just from the beer spilled on them from balconies.

Mardi Gras, it only really spelled out beads and trouble, but Stas seemed intent on celebrating and he had been such a good sport about going to school dances that Sunny went along with it. She stashed her tequila in her bag and sipped on it throughout the evening. She was actually having fun despite all the toplessness going on around them.

"I have no idea how I'm going to get through classes tomorrow," she giggled leaning into his side a little.

"Why go to classes tomorrow?" he asked cheerfully and pushed his way through a few people so that they were standing on the edge of the road while a parade float passed. He certainly didn't plan on it, even if it meant detention for a week.

"Because I'm supposed to be the good one," she grinned squeezing past a brutish college kid. "But maybe a few days in detention with you wouldn't be so bad."

Candy and beads were flying everywhere and she couldn't help but laugh. She had no intention of "earning" beads in public but she had no problem slinging a few tossed her way over her head and putting a few around Stasi's neck. "Free of charge!" she declared.

He lifted his shirt after she put the beads on him. "Nothing is free of charge," he challenged and then took one of the other strings of beads off and offered it to her. "You will have to earn them, my sunshine."

"Absolutely not sir! What kind of a girl do you think I am? Most certainly not some floozy," she gave his chest a little slap. "'Sides, you don't want all these Neanderthals to see my cupcakes do you?" she gave him a teasing grin while her shirt stayed firmly in place.

He settled the beads back down around his neck. "I would be honored that they should witness such beautiful cupcakes." He reached for the beads she was wearing, pulling them up over her head. "You have not earned these and can therefore not wear them."

"Well I don't want them to see my cupcakes," she said pressing her lips into a thin line. "Fine," she said reaching into her bag to take a swig of tequila. "I don't want beads anyways, stupid holiday anyways," she grumbled getting more cross by the second.

"It is the greatest holiday in America," he said loudly, to which a bunch of frat boys cheered loudly. "Perhaps you are not enlightened enough to celebrate properly."
soleada From: [info]soleada Date: March 8th, 2011 04:22 pm (UTC) (Link)
She made sure to give him a good smack right across his cheek. "Fuck you Anastas," she sneered, prying her hand away from his anyways. "If you want to see cupcakes you have to earn it and not by throwing beads around like an idiot."
anastas From: [info]anastas Date: March 8th, 2011 04:25 pm (UTC) (Link)
"And I have not earned it?" he asked confused. He'd been the best behaved he'd ever been. He never pushed. He never asked. He waited until she was ready. Here was a perfect opportunity to show him her cupcakes and she was throwing it back in his face like he was the bastard. "Fuck you Sunny," he retorted.
soleada From: [info]soleada Date: March 8th, 2011 04:33 pm (UTC) (Link)
She made a flustered little sound, of course he had been plenty patient with her, had never pushed her, but she still wasn't ready, as much as she wanted to be, she just wasn't. She was more frustrated with herself than she was with him but she wasn't going to have this conversation with him right now, not in front of all these frat boys, not while drunk on tequila.

"Fuck," she said frustrated. "I don't know, just... fuck off," she turned away, shoving a giant frat boy out of the way. "You fuck off too," she growled at the guy who had looked like he would say something to her.

He might have left it at that, but he didn't want Sunny wandering around downtown by herself.

"Oh fuck," he called after her. "At least let me walk you home."
soleada From: [info]soleada Date: March 8th, 2011 04:50 pm (UTC) (Link)
"I never said I was going home," she didn't bother to stop walking. She just wanted to find a quieter place to think and finish her tequila. She didn't want to be around so many people, she was hyper aware that they were all touching her and the panic began rising in her chest. She thought it was a miracle that she got through the huge crowd without punching someone.

She began walking down the street more freely not sure where she was headed.

It was about then that Stas realized Sunny was more than capable of taking care of herself. "Fine then if you want to be a bitch about it," he shouted.

Then he turned back into the crowd and decided that he wasn't going to let his prudish girlfriend ruin his night out among girls who were more than happily flashing their boobs to any and every stranger who offered them cheap plastic beads in exchange.

Her only response was to flip him off without checking behind to see if he had been looking. She would eventually find him later in the evening. Stupid Mardi Gras. For now she just kept walking, eventually finding a group of kids from school to hang out with for a while.
