For Kon

[thethirdwonder]

Cassie felt good. Her head felt light and her cares felt...like nothing! Her movements felt free and she did she mention she didn't have a care in the world. Stupid boys. Who needs them? Except she was a boy, so did she need herself? She bursts out giggling instead of answering it, because it seemed like the thing to do.

A small part in the part of her brain registered the fact she was drunk. Or at least that was her best guess since she'd never had alcohol before. Though she wasn't sure if she had any tonight, since all she remembered Eric giving her was pineapple juice....ooooh! Alcohol pineapple juice! That must have been it! So she had to be drunk. Because this is what she imagined being drunk felt like. Why did people say it was bad? It felt so good!

She wondered what it would be like to fly drunk.

Giggling to herself again, she approached the Titans Treehouse, weaving slightly as she walked, only her still remaining reflexes putting one foot in front of the other.

"What?" Kon stared at Cassie. "No! You can't think that I wanted...no!" Now he was the one feeling a little queasy, not that he'd ever tell Bart that. Bart was one of his best friends and that was it. End of story. Really.

"Look, Cassie, I don't know why he kissed me and god knows I didn't encourage it and honestly, he'd probably get another fist to the jaw if he tried it again. I put up with it once because I figured it was something like getting hugged by Tim right after showed up. It was New Year's, I think he'd had something to drink and..." He shrugged.

Well, considering Kon hadn't told her about the kiss, how was she to know if that was it?

Cassie's head was pounding now and she could only groan again vice speaking. It took a few moment before she could shake her head and say softly, "Can we please not talk about this anymore? Either kiss please?"

Kon sighed. "I didn't mean...I just..." He wrapped an arm around her shoulder. "I'm sorry, Cassie. I really am. How are you feeling?" Which was probably a stupid question, but it got him away from the subject at hand, which was really all he wanted.

"Like I want to die." She said with a painful moan as she leaned into him, tucking her head into his shoulder. It was pounding it hurt so much, the stress of their conversation delaying the effects of the painkillers. "Alcohol is so over rated. This sucks."

"It'll be okay, I promise. Hangovers don't last all that long, so I'm told." He wasn't quite telling the truth. He'd heard that they could last all day, depending on whether the stomach was involved or not. He didn't want to tell her that, though.

With a sigh, Cassie just curled into him. "I think I need to lay down again."

She didn't move.

Kon considered that. "You want company?" As long as she didn't do something like throw up on him.

It was a possibility but she didn't tell Kon that. Because she wasn't about to turn down the offer. "Please?"

[not_the_s]

Kon nodded. "Come on. Stretch out and I'll lie down next to you."

Cassie nodded slowly, not really up for thinking, much less talking. She buried herself back under the covers and closed her eyes again before Kon even joined her.

Kon got in bed slowly and then wrapped a careful arm around Cassie's waist. He didn't press his hand against her or anything, not wanting to upset her stomach or anything. He just put it there.

Despite feeling unwell, Cassie snuggled as close as she could, just needed to be near him right now. She drifted off to sleep, feeling warm and safe as the meds finally kicked in.
