“I like it. Why get all fancy if you don’t have to? Man thinking out of the box like that would have saved me a lot of time. getting ready.” She smiled at him.
“I Just don’t like standing out from a crowd, that’s all.” Cisco shrugged. “You look great, though.” He smiled over at the woman.
“No, I’m fine, it’s okay” She muttered and let him go but when he was walking to look for her sister, she was following him “Can you stop for a second, Cisco? Barry is with her I think, he’s looking for her and I want to help you first but you need to calm down and drink water because you are drunk and if you are drunk you can’t help me, I need you, Cisco, please”
“I have to find Violet though…” He said, still weaving between the people. He glanced over his should and saw Caitlin still following him, and he started toward the men’s restroom. “I’m not that drunk, Cait. Not as drunk as that one time…” He trailed, walking into the men’s restroom.
“Um I think so?” he says walking back into his apartment “come in, I think the last guy might have left one in the back room let me check.” He walks to the closet in the back room and pulls out a box walking back over to the guy “will this work?”
“Uh, yeah this should work.” Cisco said, taking the toolbox. “What do you mean ‘the last guy’? Do your machines break down often?” He laughed, rummaging through the box.
“Not when someone’s genuinely trying to use them on you.” She laughed a bit before shrugging. “I don’t know, I’m some stiff competition. Though the take-away from this conversation is that we shouldn’t ever get drunk together.” Steph grinned back at him before nodding. “Sure! That would be cool.”
“They are funny when you‘re drunk and you know it.” Cisco chuckled, taking a drink from his glass. “I’m sure it would be quite the party if we got drunk together.”
“That they do. Next time I need to fake my death I’ll make sure to rope people into a road-trip.” He chuckled. “I met your sister, by the way. That’s got to be an interesting development.”
Cisco laughed. “Yeah. It’s been quite a timeline of events, let me tell you. Finding out I have a sister, among other things. Is she giving you a hard time?”
Felicity smiled taking his arm, “Because people like us, don’t ever see ourselves at these things until it’s too late. Took me three parties before I realized that I was going to have to go shopping for the proper atire. Seeing as cocktail attire for me was jeans, converse and a tank at the bar when I first starting going to them. How are you enjoying yourself Scico? First big party,” Felicity asked with a smile.
“Three? That’s got to be rough,” he laughed, grabbing a drink from a passing waiter with his free hand. “Yeah. First party that isn’t a ‘lets lay around and eat food and drink alcohol’ that’s put on by me or one of my friends. It’s a little odd, not going to lie.” He took a long drink before returning the smile.
She took his hands “Stop it!” Her hands were cold and she knew it but at this point she didn’t care. When he grabbed again the glass, she rolled her eyes and took the glass off his hands “Okay, you drank all of it, now listen to me, you need to drink water, calm down and stay a bit sober because if you are afraid and you start to doing that, is not going to be helpful, okay? I’m going to try and take that collar but please, don’t move”
“Wow, Cait. Your hands are cold! Want me to warm them up? Violet told me that I was like a space heater!” He laughed, before his face went straight again. “Violet…I have to go find Violet!” He darted under the woman’s arms and into the party, weaving between people, looking for Violet’s face among the crowd and dodging Caitlin.
Now she was starting to be freezing, she could not help but walking side by side to enter in some heat or something but nothing was helping, however, when she saw Cisco, she just walked where he was “Don’t do that” She told him firmly because after all, if he do that was a chance that thing could explode or something “Wait, are you drunk?”
“No.” He lied, still struggling with the collar. “I. Want. This OFF.” Cisco whined, reaching for his now empty glass. He put it to his lips and went to tip the liquid back into his mouth, to his surprise, it was empty. “Hmm. Where’d my drink go?” His words were a bit slurred as he saw there, looking up at Caitlin.
