━ the mirror's telling me to go home ━

FEELING HIS ARM WRAP AROUND her while she nodded in response, was enough in the Weiss' brain to feel nothing but bliss. Truly, she had scored enough for tonight. And boy she couldn't wait to tell...wait. Tell who? Snapping back into reality as she heard a few friends on their way out to the door, Rue waved them off saying she was perfectly fine and even shooting one of them with her usual-slight-drunken-high-mess-thumbs up. A perfect indicator to say she was 'fine'.

Given how far gone they were, the potioneer didn't even notice the phone in Mal's hand, nor the texts he was sending. The Weiss' vision was slightly blurry as they walked, the colours of the club giving her that euphoric feeling. When in reality it was simple strobe lights. Before she could even get a word out, to argue that she was walking as fast as they could, Rue was swept up in another kiss. They couldn't tell if it was the effects of the potions or just Mal altogether but kissing him was a lot sweeter.

"I wouldn't object to that.." Grinning as she rolled her head around briefly before picking up the pace, Rue clung to his side, even going as far to lace her fingers with his. She didn't care where they walked to - nor did she even realise that they were going in the wrong direction, far from the portkey they'd usually take. "What time is it?.." She eventually asked, the effects of the potions and drugs shifting once more. Merlin what was going to happen next?

Rue clutched to his side and he tucked her into his side for a cuddle as they walked. They stole a couple of kisses along the way. This almost seemed too easy, despite him being too tired and sober for this. Usually these shenanigans were fueled by plenty of party favors and potions but tonight he was au natural. Even in his sober state he had to admit, Rue was still hilarious in her own dopey way while high off her face. A part of him deep down felt bad that he could he could manipulate her like putty in his hands. He always knew she was fairly easy to get his way with but this was too easy. Especially since she agreed to a ride. Now he wouldn't have to wait for her slow legs to drag her down the sidewalk.

Mal looked at his watch as Rue asked what time it was. His heart sank, hoping his eyes were deceiving him. "It's half past 4." he stated, realizing he wouldn't be getting any sleep now. Sleeping would only jeopardize him not waking up in time for work. "Time for a free ride." he decided, lifting her over his shoulder in fireman style with ease.

After a couple of minutes, he could see Mina's building slowly approaching and hear birds starting to chirp in the trees. Mal wracked his brain the best way to execute this now that it was happening. It would have to be swift. Mal wasn't sure how Rue would react since he was going to trick her with a switch-a-roo with Mina. Mal started for the steps, hoping Rue wouldn't recognize her surroundings now. He laid three solid knocks on the door, knowing the gist was up because he wouldn't be knocking on his own door, and they didn't take their typical port key....  

Dogs barked behind the door and Mal quickly placed Rue on the ground, placing his hands on her shoulders as confusion started to cloud her face. "So-uh-y'know I care about you Rue..but this isn't really my place-" he told her quickly, brain going blank on what he was even supposed to say now. Thank Merlin Mina opened the door and swooped in her. His jaw clenched, taking in the chaos with the dogs, Rue and Mina."Thanks Mina. I'll-uh- catch ya later, Rue.." he stated before quickly turning on his heel and walking down the street unsure what had even just happened.
