"The Hangover" for A Little Drabble Do Ya!

( a triple drabble)

Napoleon wasn’t feeling well and it was quite obvious when his partner laid eyes on him.

As soon as the doors to their office opened Illya spotted Napoleon leaning on his desk, head in hand and looking somewhat green around the gills.

That was a term Solo often used to describe Kuryakin when he suffered a bout of sea sickness.

“What is wrong my friend?” Illya sat at his desk, though refrained from using his typewriter.

“I went out with Momo Tanaka from translations last night...we went to a hole in the wall Japanese restaurant that served something called ‘sushi.’

“Ah yes,a dish consisting rolls of vinegared cold cooked rice served with a garnish of raw fish, vegetables, among other things. I take it, it disagreed with you?”

“The food? No, that was fine; it was the sake.”

“Sake is low alcohol...wait, did you have Honjōzō-shu?

“I have no idea. What’s Honjōzō-shu?”

"Only sake with the highest alcohol content. So I take it your date did not progress past dinner?”

“No, and I was looking forward to one of Momo’s back massages too. I heard she can walk on your back and…”

“Napoleon I have gone out with Momo, and yes her back massages are wonderful. Put me right to sleep.”

“Oh, nothing else?”

“A gentleman does not say.”

Illya began typing away on the unfinished report that he’d left in the typewriter.

“Must you do that now?”

“Yes, this report is due on Mr. Waverly’s desk this morning. Why not go up to Medical...tell them you have a migraine.”

“I think I will.”

“Sayonara...Solo san,” Illya tried not to snicker. “Want to meet for drinks tonight? Scotch and vodka that is.”

Napoleon curled his lip at his partner as he crept out the door.

Yep, higher proof sake. I've never had it myself and when fact checking on the alcohol content I discovered there's all kinds of sake.

Lesson learned for Napoleon, well at least to check the sake before he imbibes next time. Since Illya enjoyed one of Momo's back rubs, you know Solo will go back for another try... "D
