Title: Inside Out Rating: PG-13 Word Count: 149 Pairing: Gary/Raoul – Team Moustache Curtains Round/Fight: 2/C Summary: Cause when a heart breaks no it don’t break even. Raoul wants something stronger, something less refined, that can take away the pain. Breakeven part 15, set post-Lioness Rampant. Warning: Alcoholism.
Amidst the clamor and hubbub of the Dancing Dove, Raoul is able to forget about time, and the setting of the sun and the glow of candles across the inn’s main room distract him not one whit from the tankard in front of him.
He tried to let go of it all that afternoon, to forget and let the splinters of his friendship with Gary go, but the wine that followed those thoughts did nothing but gently wipe at the wounds left by Gary’s harsh words, stinging and bitter and still allowing him to think.
No, nothing stopped the craving, nothing let him be, and so he found himself here, in the corner, waiting only for another barmaid, watching only for another tankard, because the beer is harsher in his throat, and it burns all the way down to his stomach and leaves him numb from the inside out.
