Arms stretched above her head, she backed into the door of the Sin Bin. Exhaling smoke, she pushed it open then turned and waltzed into the club. Sometimes the rainbow-haired drummer liked to show up a little early to have a few drinks, smoke a little bit and get into the right state of mind for the show. Sometimes she’d even help out.
MJ grinned as she recognized the back of 13’s head instantly. She slipped up behind the much larger male kat and reached around him to swiftly grab his sunglasses off his face and put them on her own. Sure she knew he’d be pissed, but she just couldn’t help herself, a giant smile plastered on her face. Reaching past him, she grabbed the bottle of Whiskey and took a swig right from it, her purple and blue lips leaving their mark. She flinched just the tiniest bit as it burned on it’s way down into her stomach.
Quirking an eyebrow at 13, MJ licked the Whiskey from her lips and handed the bottle to him. “Who needs a glass?,” she snickered, plopping herself down in the seat right beside him even though the place was mostly empty. What was personal space, exactly?

Pulling her drumsticks out of her pocket, she began to tap them to an imaginary beat against the bar for a moment before twirling the sticks and putting them on the bartop. “We both know I won’t break your sunglasses,” she poked at him with a brightly coloured claw, then took his sunglasses off and replaced them back on his face, albeit a little crooked.
“We weren’t planning on drinking the whole bottle? We have a long night ahead of us,” she asked before taking the bottle and taking a long drink from it. Goosebumps raised all over in response to the delicious burn of the alcohol.
MJ tilted her head at his question, her rainbow bangs falling over her brightly coloured eyes. She blinked at him, putting on the most innocent expression she could muster up, batting her long lashes. “Me? Annoy you? gasp I would never dream of doing such a thing!,” she laughed and rolled her eyes at him. “Relax dude I just wanted to have a drink and vibe for a bit before the show. Is that okay with you, Mr. Grumpy Pants?”

“Such a shame, truly, that I ruined the bottle and now we have to drink it,” she winked and took a swig, her head beginning to swim with the warmth of the booze flushing her pale cheeks a deep shade of pink.
“Well good. Plus, maybe you could use the company, hm? I’m sure you were hard at work before I showed up.” As much as MJ loved to tease 13, she had known him long and well enough to know how much work he put into being the band’s roadie, and how much effort he put into everything he did for them.
“Rumor has it I know my way around an instrument or two,” she joked as he would know very well how talented the drummer was.
Did he actually just maybe possibly smile!? Surely MJ must be mistaken.

She watched him quietly (which was odd for her, as she wasn’t often quiet), as he pulled out and lit his cigarette, something she’s probably seen him do a million times over the years. Did he always pop one singular cigarette out like that?, she wondered to herself. She never noticed before.
“Mm does anyone truly know you that well?,” she asked bluntly, looking up at him with heavy-lidded eyes. He was always so hard to read, no matter how annoying she was she didn’t often get him to lower those walls he had up.
Taking the second bottle from him, she took a long couple of gulps this time and passed it back. “You know, I can’t have you getting me too drunk before I have to play tonight,” she grinned at him. She was feeling good and tipsy and needed to make sure she saved the real partying for after the show. But a few more drinks couldn’t possibly get her into that much trouble, right? As long as 13 could hold his liquor (which she knew he could) and he and the others had everything set up on schedule and she showed up on time able to play then they were golden.
So she took another shot.
“I am a pretty great bullshitter,” she added when she swallowed. “But there ain’t no faking my skills,” MJ winked and laughed, she just couldn’t help herself.
She definitely had never noticed 13 noticing her before - when she's playing she is focused on music and only music, nothing else in the world exists. Oh, and she was oblivious as all hell to boot.

MJ had never been the serious dating type, so complicated never really factored into her choices when it came to those she took interest in. Between touring and practicing there wasn’t a whole lot of spare time to be letting people in so she more often than not had a wall up that kept things very casual.
An eyebrow raised at his comment, and she took another drink. “Maybe I am, maybe I’m not,” she couldn’t help but tease him about whether or not she was wearing any like he said.
Was she flirting? Nahhhhhhh not with 13….. She had known him for literally an eternity and the thought had never crossed her mind. Watching him lean back and prop himself against the bar, her eyes roamed over him and she shook her head slightly as if to clear it.
Though they had been drunk together plenty of times in the past (the band & co. knew how to have a good time), it was still all because of the booze, right?
Yeah. It was the booze.
“I could help, if you need to get back to it. Or you can tell me where to go and I’ll leave you alone.” She put on a confident act when she was on stage and with fans, but that’s all it was- an act. When she let her guard down, particularly when she was feeling good and tipsy, she reverted back into the girl that fundamentally just wanted to be wanted.. So secretly she wanted him to want her to stay. Maybe. Possibly. She wasn’t sure?
Her head was swimming with the confusion and the Whiskey and the weed. Oof.

Laughter burst out of her in response to 13’s new band rule, she clutched at her side as she fell into a fit of giggles. “Don’t you worry, I save being pantie-less for much less public occasions,” she replied once she finally stopped laughing.
Wait. … Did she just say those words out loud? Maybe 13 didn’t hear her as he walked back over to the stage. The rainbow adorned drummer could only hope that was the case as she cringed to herself and hopped off the bar stool, her black boots hitting the ground with a clunk as she quickly followed after him. Taking note of the stool he motioned at, she rolled it over to where he was sitting and sat down, peering at the amp he was working on. “Of course X ******** it up,” she smirked and rolled closer to him to get a better look, then began to hook up the wires inside the amp as directed. Her teeth and tongue played with her lip ring as she was deep in concentration to make sure she didn’t ******** anything up. She may have been a giant pain in the a** but she always took anything band-related very seriously.
Only really having experience playing the instruments rather than fixing them, she found it fascinating and this kind of s**t always impressed her. She was musically brilliant, in other areas however? Not so much.
