8/Drunk Feels

It's already night time and you are waiting for the Haitani brothers to come home.

Ran did say that he will arrive late at night but Rindou didn't tell you anything.

'I wonder when he will get home. It's already 8 PM.'

You got bored of waiting so you decided to take a quick bath to relax yourself.

~~~~~~

Now finished with the bath, you came out of the bathroom with a towel on.

Your phone suddenly beeps. You rushed to see what it was and to your surprise, it was Rindou who texted you.

'That's odd. He never texts me anything. Is this some kind of emergency?'

You opened and read his text.

→ Text Messages ←

"Hey, Y/n. Where are you?" Rindou texted.

You replied, "I'm here in my room. Where are you?"

"Can I come in? Didn't you hear me go inside the house already?"

"Huh? Apparently no. I was in the shower a while ago so maybe that's why."

"Well nevermind that. Can I come into your room?"

"Sure. I don't see why not."

'Weird. Maybe Rindou just wants some company? Oh well, it's my time to shine! Besides, he personally asked for it.'

You could only smile as you walk your way through your room door, thinking that Rindou genuinely wants to spend some time with you.

Now opening the door, Rindou looked a bit tipsy on his movement. He's standing by the doorframe with his body leaning on it.

"Rindou? Are you feeling alright?" you asked, concerned at the look of his state.

"Hi.. Y/n. Took you long enough to open the door for me." he answered with his eyes closed.

You touched his forehead to see if he has a fever.

"Y/n. Why are you dressed like that?" he asked, looking mad as he noticed.

"Huh? Wha-" you shouted, now realizing you haven't actually change clothes yet.

You continued, "I-I'll just go change clothes! Wait for me outside."

Rindou grabbed your wrist instantly before you could even leave his side, making your back bump his chest.

"Ah! Sorry Rin-"

'Eh..? What's happening right now..?'

Rindou extended his arms on the sides of your neck, embracing you.

"Rindou? What's the matter?" you asked.

'What could his expression be right now? Hugging me from the back like this..'

You thought to yourself as you couldn't see his face. Your view could only catch sight of your bedroom.

You now felt his head sluggihsly leaning on the back of your head.

Rindou whispered in a low voice, "You're so pretty, Y/n."

Currently blushing hard, you decided to face him.

Holding his cheeks, you said, "Rindou, wake up! I could tell you're drunk as hell!"

"Huh? What are you talking about?" he responded mad.

He walks towards you and you walk backwards for some reason.

'I sort of have a bad feeling about this..'

Still walking slowly, Rindou asked, "Y/n, why is it so hard to tell someone how they really feel?"

"What? Uhm.. I don't know." you answered, looking at him with a tensed expression.

"Why? Why can't I tell you that-!?"

"AH!!" you shouted loud.

You tripped on something while you were distracted by Rindou. Grabbing onto his arm for support, you fell on your bed with him on top of you.

'Ouch. That hurt.. Ugh. Huh?! Rindou??'

Your face turned bright red as his face was so close to yours. Pushing his body away from you was difficult as he won't budge.

'Why is he so heavy?? I feel like he's gonna crush my body any second now.' you spoke in your head.

"Y/n.." he muttered, his head getting closer and closer to you.

"Rindou..?" you closed your eyes, not knowing what's gonna happen next.

His head then fell on your shoulder, avoiding your face. You later on opened your eyes to see Rindou unconscious on top of your body.

'Oh.. I thought he was gonna kiss me for real.' you thought, a bit disappointed.

Minutes of pushing away his body, you finally managed to get him off of you.

You caught your breath then said, "What's with this day?"

Taking a quick glance on his sleepy face, you can't stop yourself from smiling.

~~~~~~

The next day, Rindou woke up with his head aching. Coming out from the room, Ran asked, "What were you doing coming out from Y/n's room?"

"What do you mean..? Oh." Rindou spoke as he looked at the door that's definitely not his room.

"I see." Ran said, hiding his expression and walking away from his brother.

Rindou stopped Ran by his shoulder and said, "Don't 'I see.' me! I don't know why I was inside her room, ok?!"

"Ah really? Then why are you panicking with your face so red?" Ran asked, his face showing a smirk look.

"Uh.. uhm. Ugh, whatever.." his younger brother said as he walks away, cranky.

Ran laughed as he watched Rindou walk weirdly.

'Where is this Y/n? I need to know what happened yesterday ASAP!' Rindou spoke in his head.

"Good morning, Rindou! How was your sleep?" you greeted as he didn't notice you while passing by.

Rindou walked two steps back and faced you, firmly holding your shoulders.

You gave him a confused look while he squinted his eyes on you.

"Come with me!" Rindou said, holding onto your arm tightly.

He brought you to his room, locked the doors behind you and put on his glasses.

"Now, tell me everything that happened yesterday." Rindou said as he sat down on his office chair.

"What? Are you sure about your question?" you asked, hands behind your back.

"Yes. I need to know what I was doing in your room when I woke up!"

"You were drunk last night and.."

→ You proceeded to tell him everything ←

Rindou was left dumbstruck with your explanation. He couldn't believe it. It was the first time he had done something he wouldn't really do while drunk.

"Did I.. really do that? To you? Why?" he kept asking and your response would always be the same, "I don't know."

"Did I make you somehow.. uncomfortable?"

"No, I'm totally fine. You didn't harm me or did something wrong and I completely understand you." you answered honestly.

"I don't think I could ever look at you or me the same again." he said, looking down on the floor.

"Don't mind it too much, Rindou. I never thought of you badly." you replied, laughing awkwardly at the end.

Rindou looked up to see your beautiful wide smile waiting for you to just forget about everything and be happy.

He sighed. Standing up from the chair, he said, "I'm sorry about that, Y/n."

Seeing his cool expression let go of the sad feeling he had just now made you very happy.

You thought, 'At least let me comfort you from time to time, Rin.'
