The request by Mahamatra_Cyno was the complete opposite of one of my own ideas about having Wrio drunk, so you guys are getting his idea first before mine.
Also!
Happy birthday to Melusine_Nary and Wint0lf!
I could have sworn there was one more person who said their birthday was today but I can't for the life of me find their comment so maybe I was hallucinating.
If there was indeed a third person then I'm sorry!

Wriothesley's POV
"No."
"Neuvillette-"
"No."
"Come on! Just this once!"
"I will not be consuming alcohol, Furina!" Neuvillette snapped at the archon.
They have been at this ever since we moved back to Lady Furina's residence after the wedding reception.
She had pulled out a bottle of wine from her closet, pouring all of us a cup.
Navia and Clorinde drank it all fine, praising the taste, but before I could try it I was interrupted by Neuvillette and Lady Furina arguing.
"Come on! You are hundreds of years old! How long do you think you can get away without drinking?! It's your wedding day!"
"I can- Ugh!"
The second Neuvillette opened his mouth Lady Furina leaned over, pouring the contents of his cup down his throat.
"There. That wasn't so bad now, was it-"
Bang!
Her words were interrupted by Neuvillette faceplanting on the table.
...
He passed out?
Just like that?
From a single cup?
I slowly put down my cup, taking a step away from it. From the corner of my eye I could see Clorinde and Navia do the same.
Just what the hell is in that?
It knocked out a Sovereign with just a single cup.
I leaned over to Neuvillette, feeling his pulse just to be sure.
He seemed fine.
Out cold and his face was completely flushed, but nothing aside from that.
Having confirmed this, I sent a glare at Lady Furina.
She laughed awkwardly, reaching for the bottle and quickly reading the label.
Her face changed colors a few times over before she awkwardly turned the bottle to me.
"So... Hahaha... It seems I grabbed the wrong bottle... Haha..."
The label read:
Congratulations on your appointment as archon! Here, have a drink! Guaranteed to get even an archon drunk!
Best wishes,
Barbatos.
...
Lady Furina!
-
At least she was kind enough to teleport us back to our place in Meropide. Especially since mere seconds after we entered-
"Woah!"
I nearly dropped Neuvillette because of the sudden increase in weight.
Of course, his tail would pop out.
At this point, what else can happen?
I just got through a wedding and now I have a drunk dragon on my hands.
I somehow managed to carry him to the bedroom, placing him down on the bed.
Phew.
Step 1: Take the dragon home.
Done.
Now step 2...
I looked at the... at least three layers of clothing Neuvillette was wearing with a frown.
For the first time since I saw it, I was annoyed by the elaborate piece of clothing.
Sigh...
Let's start from the easy ones.
I took off his shoes along with the outermost layer of his attire without too much difficulty.
I reached for his vest next but-
"Archon!Neuvillette!"
I was nearly scared to death when I locked eyes with him.
He's awake?
"Since when-"
"Pretty." He muttered.
"What?"
"Pretty Wrio."
And with that, he gave me the brightest and most innocent-looking smile I could have ever imagined.
Oh god!
I was going to ask if he had sobered up already but...
Nope!
Definitely not sober!
He was lying on his side looking at me with that bright pair of eyes.
"Wrio."
"Yes?"
"Come here. I want a hug."
"Neuv-"
"I want a hug. Now." He repeated firmly.
Well isn't someone very demanding?
I chuckled as I sat down on the edge of the bed. Instantly, his arms found their way around my waist, his head resting on my lap.
And he says I'm pretty.
He should take a look at himself.
"Wrio."
"Yes?"
"My Wrio."
"Yes, I am."
"Hehe." He laughed dumbly as he looked up at me.
...
This is really challenging my self-control.
"I want a kiss." He said.
I leaned down, placing a kiss on his lips, only to see his frown when I pulled away.
"What?"
What's wrong this time?
"Not like that." He grumbled.
"How do you want me to kiss you then, Neuv?"
His frown deepened and suddenly I found myself flipped around, my back hitting the bed.
Neuvillette was now towering over me looking down at me with a mix of emotions swirling in his eyes.
This position is a bit...
"Neuv dear. You can't just throw people around like that."
"I am the Dragon Sovereign of Water. I can do as I wish." He declared.
That look of limitless arrogance that he had right now was simply too...
It was too cute!
Ah, my heart!
"And I'm your mate. Don't I have a say in this?" I pointed out.
His eyes narrowed as he fell deep in thought, conflict flickering in his eyes. Eventually, he nodded as he seemed to reach his conclusion.
"Fair enough. Point taken."
That's it?
Just like that?
"Can I kiss you now?" He asked, his voice full of annoyance.
Pfft!
"Go right ahead."
Instead of kissing me, however, his hand went for the buttons of my shirt.
Hey!
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Stop right there!
But it was too late.
By the time my mind had fully processed what was happening, Neuvillette had already undone all the buttons on my shirt and pulled it apart.
And then he just stared.
Started in complete silence without a single word.
"Neuv, I-"
"Pretty Wrio. My pretty Wrio." He grinned again.
I shivered slightly as his finger traced along one of my scars.
"My body is full of scars, Neuv. What's so pretty about that?" I said, a hint of self-mockery evident in my voice.
He stopped.
His hand froze in place as he turned to glare at me.
"If I said you're pretty then you're pretty. My Wrio is the prettiest!" He declared.
Neuvillette...
You...
"Huh? Wrio? Wrio, why are you crying? Don't cry. You can't cry."
Was I?
Pfft!
I pulled him down into a hug, a chuckle slipping past my lips.
"Thank you, Neuvillette."
"Hmm?"
"But I still think my dragon is the prettiest."
His tail thumped on the bed with annoyance at my words.
"My Wrio is the prettiest. I am the Hydro Sovereign. I am in the right."
"Sure you are."
"Hmph!"
Oh how easy it was to fool this drunk dragon.
His tail started wagging happily as soon as I said those words.
"Wrio."
"Yes?"
"I'm tired."
"What?"
"I'm going to sleep now."
Before I could react he had already slipped out of my embrace, rolling to the empty side of the bed.
???
By the time I turned around, he was already fast asleep.
???????
Hey!
This is totally unfair!
You can't just do all that and go to sleep!
Neuvillette!
No!
This is not his fault.
Lady Furina!
You will pay for this!
She sabotaged our wedding night!
