[ when david leaves, evan relaxes. minutely, but he does. if it hadn't been for what's-her-name talking about going to see someone and how much david'll love it, he might have been even more on edge, but he'll take the gift while he's got it. they're alone now, or at least they're not in david's presence. it's something.

which is fine right up until he goes to finalize his tab and the bartender, somewhat warily, tells him david already covered it. the rage surges up through him like a volcano. he wants to get out his phone, call david back in here, beat his head into the bar, this was deliberate -

until a hand on his shoulder and a hard look, a harder voice, tell him to cut it out. she's not interested in seeing a fight start. just take the win - he's out money, isn't he?

but it's not about that. still, evan manages to choke down the rage, and instead of blowing up he just covers the tab for the group he was drinking with. they don't even know why or what happened, but they're all happy for it. he looks good, he doesn't have to reveal what happened, and the only people who know anything are the bartender and his date.

and david.

having kept his control this long means there's no anger from her on the way out, but she gives him a cold look when he tells her he's going home alone.

there's better ways to deal with that anger problem, she says. he only shrugs. he's not planning on dealing with anything.

david's unlikely to drop his date tonight and come back for a fight, so evan goes somewhere that he can beat up other people (legally, even) until he feels a little better. then he passes out. so david doesn't get any harassment until the morning, when he's hopefully hungover as shit. ]


You think you're being funny?
bloodandbrass: (what)

[personal profile] bloodandbrass 2025-02-07 11:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[ that reaction doesn't help matters at all, because he assumes it's mocking. just like he always does. ]

Buying the tab? The fuck kind of shit are you trying to pull now?
bloodandbrass: (orly)

[personal profile] bloodandbrass 2025-02-08 01:22 am (UTC)(link)
The fuck you were. That was you showing off

And with her there too

Trying to piss me off in every way you fucking can
bloodandbrass: (bloody and pissed)

[personal profile] bloodandbrass 2025-02-08 09:59 am (UTC)(link)
You're the one who GOT INTO IT by doing that shit

Next time I see you, your ass is dead
bloodandbrass: (bloody)

[personal profile] bloodandbrass 2025-02-08 10:14 am (UTC)(link)
Wasn't trying to fucking find you last night

[ only partly true. it wasn't his intention, but as soon as he heard where david was, well. ]
bloodandbrass: (back)

[personal profile] bloodandbrass 2025-02-08 10:34 am (UTC)(link)
The fuck do you care about that for? I gotta keep up appearances too, shouldn't piss you off
bloodandbrass: (doubt)

[personal profile] bloodandbrass 2025-02-08 11:01 am (UTC)(link)
You were pissed enough to pay my goddamned bar tab

How the fuck is it interesting? I'm out with girls a lot. Just not as much as you
bloodandbrass: (orly)

[personal profile] bloodandbrass 2025-02-08 11:53 am (UTC)(link)
How should I know?

You trying to show me up in front of everyone else says something crawled up your ass and died to me
bloodandbrass: (mask)

[personal profile] bloodandbrass 2025-02-08 03:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[ that's the downside of giving him your number. ]

This is your fucking fault. Next time I see you, it doesn't matter if your girl's there or mine is. Your ass is dead.
bloodandbrass: (bloody)

[personal profile] bloodandbrass 2025-02-08 09:34 pm (UTC)(link)
You didn't do it to be friendly and you know it

Fix your fucking hangover and come find me at the brewery, princess

[ it's out before he can stop himself. this level of anger - this level of stupidity - makes him beyond thoughtless. at the same time, he's mad enough that he barely notices it, jamming the phone away and starting to pull his own shit together. ]
bloodandbrass: (bloody)

[personal profile] bloodandbrass 2025-02-09 12:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[ despite everything he just said, evan doesn't quite rush down to the brewery immediately. he suspects it'll be a little while before david's hangover is even remotely cleared up, and in all honesty he's not fully awake himself (and has a little big of a hangover, too).

instead he takes two hours to deal with himself and doubt his own actions, then another hour to remind himself that it won't take long for the rumors to reach his father that he got his whole fucking tab paid for by david king, even if it was subtle and he covered it up without much of an issue.

(in truth, his father's never even going to hear about it; he'll have more to say about who evan's kind-of-dating.)

the wait at the brewery when he does get that just makes him angrier, so by the time david pulls up, disheveled, sunglasses on, with a drink to try and keep him hydrated - evan's pretty close to blowing up, but has it mostly under control, even when david admits there was no friendly gesture involved. ]


You've never done that shit before and you expected me to just roll with it? Just - put up with you trying to show off in front of my girl? You trying to impress her?
bloodandbrass: (doubt)

[ why doesn't that make him feel any better? something to think about when he's dealing with the bruises. ]

Then why did you feel like you had to do it?

[ it was a choice, deliberate, intended to piss him off. but 'making evan mad' can't be the only reason he did it - not with everyone else there, when they'd barely even spoken. ]
