Sean stretched his back, putting a pillow against the headboard to cushion himself as he sat up, sighing emotionally. "Urgh, I'm really sore all over."

Did he even remember how terrible he was, flailing around like a child while Sean bathed him?!

Not only did Sean have to coax him just like with a child, he even scratched Sean as he resisted.

"You're still drunk, aren't you?" Sean asked, studying him just then.

'Yes, yes, yes, I'm still drunk!" Patrick admitted to it right away. "That's why I had no idea what I did last night at all! So I refuse to take responsibility!"

Sean was left staring at Patrick again.
