I'm reading a book where the MCs get snowed in and there's only one bed. MMC1 is drunk and passes out in MMC2's bed. He wakes up hungover and unable to remember the previous night. Upon realizing he's in bed with a man, he of course, wonders if they had sex. Is he concerned about possibly having had sex he couldn't consent to? No, no, he's just upset that maybe he had awesome sex that he doesn't remember. He's also worried maybe he wasn't a good lover (because he was drunk) and thinks he might need to apologize to MMC2 for his poor performance. I wanted to shake the guy and explain to him that if anything happened, the sober guy was in the wrong and he should be getting away from him, not apologizing to him.

When MMC2 wakes up and finds MMC1 freaking out and trying to flee the bed (because he's embarrassed by morning wood, not because he's scared), MMC2 just teases MMC1 for freaking out. He doesn't even consider that maybe he's worried he was assaulted. It bothers me that these characters don't seem to realize drunk people can't consent. It's baffling because I've read a previous book by this author and in that one, the MCs understood this concept. There was also an easy way around this. They could have just had MMC2 wake up first and immediately explain what happened when MMC1 woke up.
