“Suuuuuunshine.” Brian’s voice slurred as he held the bottle up to the light. He raised himself on his elbow. “Why the fuck did your mother call him that?”

Michael shrugged. He wasn’t really counting, but he was pretty sure this was the fifth night Brian had shown up, bottle in hand, just before Red Cape closed.

“C’mon,” he said, standing. “It’s late...”

Brian staggered up, nodding. “That’s right, Mikey. And you know...” he gave a big grin, and took another swallow. “I’m a fucking creature of the night. I hate the sunshine.”

Michael guided him towards the door. “I know.”

This was very good- you said so much with so few words.
Poor Brian, my heart breaks for him here.
Well done!

Oh, Brian. My favorite part is Michael's last line, I think, because he does know exactly what Brian's saying.
