"bad" ideas

“It’s graduation time again.” Vance smiled. It was a slow, unsure smile.
Maira returned his smile with a certainty she didn’t necessarily feel. “You say again as though we’ve done this before.”
“You have.” Leo pointed out—and he was right. Maira had received her bachelors degree almost a year ago, while the brothers had taken slightly longer.
“And yet it feels the same each time.”
“I don’t know...” Van’s words came slowly and deliberately again. “I didn’t care much for my middle school graduation. And high school, I was still a kid then. This graduation holds the weight of the world.”
His elder brother frowned slightly. “It’s not like you don’t have a job.”
“Not officially.” The unsure smile was back. “who really needs someone with an Asian Studies degree? I’m not a- you know?”

“Well, don't worry about it for now.”
Van looked up as friend spoke.
Maira continued, “Tonight, we’re just going to enjoy ourselves. The three of us. That’s what tonight is about. Family. Worries can be for tomorrow.”
“So can hangovers.” Leo eyed his third shot with a tinge of regret. “I knew this was going to be a bad idea.”
“Well, it’s not a bad idea yet,” Vance laughed. “but give it a few more drinks.”
His brother grimaced as he downed the shot, “I’ll be sure to do that.”
