Title: What Am I Supposed to Do? Rating: PG-13 Word Count: 204 Pairing: Gary/Raoul – Team Moustache Curtains Round/Fight: 2/C Summary: What am I supposed to do when the best part of me was always you? Its frightening just how much his room reeks of alcohol. Breakeven part 16, set post-Lioness Rampant. Warning: Alcoholism.
It is just supposed to be an innocent visit, a quick knock at his door, but the moment that Raoul answers her, Cythera has to take a step backwards.
The reek of alcohol slams her like a wave from inside his room.
“Gary sent you, didn’t he?” Raoul’s words are harsh and slurred at the same time, and his eyes don’t quite focus as he glares at her from the other side of his doorway.
“Gary sent you to check up on me, to spy on me,” he accuses, and Cythera shakes her head quickly.
“No, Raoul, no, that’s not it at all,” she protests, but Raoul’s hand thuds loudly against the doorframe as he leans in, a manic expression flooding his familiar features.
Cythera jumps backwards unthinkingly, heart pounding.
“Stop lying!” he demands forcefully, “And stop following me. I don’t need you, and I don’t need Gary. Just leave me alone!”
It makes Cythera sick, the rancid sour smell on his breath, and after his door slams she leans against the wall. Gary told her not to come, not to go out looking for trouble, and her heartbeat, fluttering madly in her chest, tells her the truth behind her lies: Raoul scares her.
