After the party
It's a nice feeling being drunk. Takes all your worries away, I tend to feel like I'm floating. You also lose all sense of direction, where on earth am I anyway?
"Ichijo? Can you hear me? I'm taking you to your room." The voice of Senri Shiki floated into my head.
"Wait," I started having a difficult time keeping my thought in line, "did I just speak aloud?"
"Yes Ichijo, you did." Shiki was sounding distinctly worried, I wonder why? I'm fine… least I think I am, better not mention the fact that I can't really feel my feet on the ground. I wonder if I'm dead.
"No Ichijo, you're not dead. The reason you can't feel your feet, is because I'm currently carrying you." Oh… that explains it. Also gives a justified reason for why I feel like I was flying.
"Shiki," I could hear my voice but didn't know what I was supposed to be saying. "Can you fly?" silence greeted my question. What could you expect from Shiki anyway? He's the silent, yet deadly cute type.... Did I say that out loud as well?
"Say what out loud Ichijo?" thank god, if there is one, he didn't hear.
"Didn't hear what?" damn! I have to stop thinking these things.
Sometime later…
"Ichijo… we're here." Came the beautiful voice of Shiki, strange, it had a slight trace of breathlessness in it.
"Where is 'here' exactly Shiki? You see there are these butterflies, really nice butterflies at that, they sorta distracted me from what you just said…"
"We're outside your room Ichijo…" oh that's nice, "What butterflies? We're inside, have been for the last hour and a half."
"No! My butterflies! Please tell me you didn't kill them Shiki!" I begged, I would never be able to forgive him for killing them, and that would be heart-breaking.
"What was that Ichijo? I swear you just mentioned something along the lines of heart-breaking."
"Oh." By this point I had realised that when I was drunk, speaking my thoughts becomes quite a common occurrence. Note to self: never be drunk in front of Kaname... or Grandfather for that matter…
