IC; musical discussion and double date with Kurt, Blaine, and Emily

[burgercraving]

[there are drinks lined up over the bar, but they're all virgin, for the sake of remaining sober during this discussion. Santana is rested up on the end furthest away from Emily with her eyes on Kurt, as she's looking at him with an indication of "get on with it." even though they've only been set up for two minutes, she's already growing impatient. like most times of the day, it's not difficult to find themselves alone in the bar, either. so it goes]

Yeah, we can always start some music afterward if we want to.

[looks to Santana] And you're going to have to show me the salt and lime thing. I've never done that before.

[burgercraving]

... There are two ways to do it, but one's a little more effective.

[thegreateststar]

[makes a pfft noise] Okay, officially washing my hands off whatever happens.

[youngburtreynolds]

[grins at Kurt, squeezing him closer playfully]

It almost sounds like you think we'll embarrass you.

[ladycoderring.livejournal.com]

Would it help if I said I'll try to control myself?

[burgercraving]

I won't.

[thegreateststar]

Exactly. So it's a moot point.

[slumps against Blaine's chest, leaving room for him to move his arms]

[youngburtreynolds]

So who's pouring? Santana, you seem like the tequila expert.

[then leans in near Kurt's ear quietly]

You sure you won't have even one?

[ladycoderring.livejournal.com]

[to Santana] Do you mind?

[burgercraving]

Of course not. I'm here to be the educator.

[she sets up four shots, because Kurt might change his mind at any second, and then sets about the rest of the preparations. the bar, no matter how dingy it is, already had limes sliced, and she uses a small salt shaker to do the rest. she licks her hand, puts the salt on it, licks it off, takes the shot, and then finishes off with the lime.

even Santana winces in the process, but she recovers with a confident ... Santana-smirk]

[thegreateststar]

[looks at Blaine with an eyebrow raised, amused at the turn the proceedings have taken]

Want to go next?

[licks between his thumb and index finger, putting salt on the stripe he's wetted, and holding it up to Blaine]

[youngburtreynolds]

[smirks] If you insist.

[reaches to pick up a shot and a lime from the table. takes a hold of Kurt's hand and pulls it the rest of the way to his mouth, looking up at Kurt as he sucks the salt, flicking his tongue out to make sure he got all of it, you know, just in case. afterwards, he takes his shot and bites into the lime, scrunching his eyes shut at the burn and then grinning]

I think that's the first time I've ever had a tequila shot the way you're supposed to do it.

[ladycoderring.livejournal.com]

[that gets a curious little eyebrow raise, but then she follows suit, taking a few seconds afterward to make a face and let out a long breath]

Is that the other way you mentioned? [nods toward the boys while looking at Santana]

[burgercraving]

... Close, but not quite. I don't think you're ready for a demonstration.

[thegreateststar]

[grinning as well, why oh why is he in such a good mood?]

She probably needs to drink more.

And Blaine, given your track record, you probably just don't remember if you've ever done this before.

[youngburtreynolds]

[makes a face that looks something like apologetic]

I guess that's probably true.

[ladycoderring.livejournal.com]

I have to be drunk to even see it? Now you've got me really curious, but I'm almost afraid to ask.

[burgercraving]

Well, it won't make you all furry, if you're worried.

[thegreateststar]

Yes, none of that will be happening.

[youngburtreynolds]

[just grins and holds out his shot glass]

Second round?

[ladycoderring.livejournal.com]

Yes. Now that we've been reassured that nobody will be turning into anything today.

[there's a suggestive "not yet anyway" joke at the expense of drunk Blaine and Kurt that might have gone here had she been much drunker]

[burgercraving]

Kurt should at least take one. We're not here for his entertainment.

[thegreateststar]

Ask me later. That is, if you remember to.

[youngburtreynolds]

[to Kurt] I'll remember.

[when no one fills his shot, he just sets it down and picks up the one meant for Kurt and knocks it back, not bothering with the salt or lime. makes a face]

I wonder how many it'll take to stop burning.

[ladycoderring.livejournal.com]

If you're going to drink Kurt's too every time he doesn't, then it probably won't take long.
