Author's Notes: Billi Bi is a french dish with wine in it. XD I had fun with this story so I hope you do to!
Houtarou Oreki and Satoshi Fukube stood at the entrance of the Chitanda's home. Always finding himself amazed at the size, Houtarou drooped his eyes to the fact he'd have to walk to the distance just to the room Eru Chitanda and Mayaka Ibara are probably waiting. Satoshi, like always, smiled and took anything that came towards him.
"Ah, Oreki-san! Fukube-san! Good afternoon, please come in." greeted Eru Chitanda wearing her casual wear. "Hello!" said the excited Satoshi. "Excuse us for the intrusion." mumbled Houtarou as he took off his shoes and began following Chitanda down the maze like hallways.
When they arrived to the room, Mayaka Ibara sat at the table with an annoyed look. Houtarou sat down to ease his feet that walked for what seemed 20 minutes but in reality was 5. "Took you guys long enough! We we're about to start without you!" she complained. Satoshi chuckled, "So you were going to have a party of two? That would've been fun." Mayaka rolled her eyes.
Chitanda laughed. "Thank you for coming over!" Mayaka smiled. "Come on Chi-chan, it's a celebration for the success of the Classics Club! Don't act all formal." she said while putting a rather big box on the table. "Woah, did you cook this Mayaka?" asked Satoshi in great surprise. "Of course! I spent all morning making this. It's tonkatsu!" She said proudly and then asked, "So what did you bring Fuku-chan?"
Having seen the question come, Satoshi held up a silver pot that seemed to still be warm. "I brought curry!" he said while taking the cover off. A delicious smell then filled the room making empty stomaches growl. "Ever since the Cooking Contest, I've been wanting to cook better." he proudly stated while covering the pot filled with goodness. "I can't wait to see how good you became!" said Chitanda excitedly.
"Oreki-san? What did you bring?" she then asked Houtarou who was leaning his head in his palm enjoying the conversation. "Ah, I brought my older sister's cooking. She called it... Billi Bi?" he answered uncertain. "Ah, even I never heard of it! I can't wait to see what this tastes like." Chitanda said while looking over at the dish.
"Chi-chan? Did you get the rice ready?" Mayaka asked changing the subject. Chitanda clasps her hands together and said, "It's almost ready! I prepared the best rice for today." Nodding in approval, Mayaka got up. "Will it be alright if I help out?" she offered. "Of course I don't mind." Chitanda replied while getting up also. "We'll be back so don't do anything stupid!" Mayaka told Satoshi and Houtarou. Why would we want to do something like that? Houtarou silently wondered in his mind.
"Hey Houtarou, do you know what's in your sister's dish?" Satoshi asked skeptically after the girls left. Houtarou thought for a bit. His sister wasn't the best of all cooks and she often put to much of something but in the end it was satisfying enough to fill stomaches. She did tell him what was in it but it was so early in the morning that he could hardly remember. "Not sure but hopefully it'll be okay." he said in the end. Still concerned, Satoshi eventually dismissed the feeling.
When the girls came back, they carried a large bowl of rice and began setting up the long wooden table. "Can you and Fukube-san could put the food on the table?" Chitanda asked the yawning sloth. "Huh? Oh, sure." Houtarou said as if waking up. He slowly got up and picked up his food first. Steadily carrying across the room, he gently placed it on the table. Same with Satoshi's and Mayaka's. Sweating from the carefulness of not wanting to spill the food, he then wiped away drops that rolled down his head.
After finishing up, they all sat down with their home made foods in front of them. "Let's eat the first bite of our food!" announced Satoshi. "Sure." agreed Mayaka. Shrugging in agreement, Houtarou looked at his older sister's cooking. Billi bi... it sounded French. He took a bite and something strong sweet took over his mouth. He began coughing and grabbed for water. After gulping the cup down, he noticed his sight began to swirl.
"Oreki-san? Are you okay?" asked a concerned Chitanda. "Oreki-san?" she asked again. "Hic, Chitanda?" Houtarou looked at her sleepily. "Houtarou? What's wrong with you?" now asked Satoshi. "Nothing ish wrong with...hic, me." he slowly said while staggering. "I knew it. Billi bi has wine in it. And Tomoe-san often puts to much of stuff." he told Mayaka and Chitanda. "Eh? What are we going to do with this mess then?" asked Mayaka crossing her arms.
"We could let him sleep for now. Fukube-san and Oreki-san's rooms are just across the room." Chitanda said while pointing towards the hallway. "Okay! Fuku-chan and me will go get his bed ready. Chi-chan, can you watch Houtarou? If he does anything a good slap should stop him!" Mayaka told Chitanda.
"Yes, the beds should be in the closet of the rooms." Chitanda smiled.
And with that, they left the drunk and Chitanda alone. "Ugh..." groaned Houtarou. "Oreki-san? Do you need anything?" she asked with a concerned voice. At that moment, Houtarou sat up. Surprised, Chitanda jumped back. "Oreki-san?" she said with a more worried tone. "Hm?" Houtarou turned his swaying head towards her. "Shitanda... come 'ere." he ordered waving his hand to indicate in front of him. "Eh? Okay..." she said hestantly. Chitanda leaned her head toward's Houtarou's. "What's wrong?" she asked. "Chitanda." he mumbled. Chitanda turned her head towards her name.
Right in front of her face was Houtarou. Unfazed, she tilted her head. "There'sh somthing *hic* that I wanna tell you." he said. "Eh?" she looked him with more concern. Since Oreki-san is drunk, he might not like it if he goes telling people his thoughts, she thought. "Oreki-san!" she said firmly. "What?" he asked. Unsure of what to say, she began to think. While she was thinking, Houtarou tried to regain control. His fuzzy mind wouldn't let him think. "Oreki-" she was stopped short but Houtarou leaned in and planted his lips on hers. "I... wanted to do that... a long time... ago." and with that, Houtarou fell onto the floor.
Stunned, Chitanda let him stay on the floor trying to assess what just happened.
**Next Morning**
The bright morning light shined on Houtarou's face. He silently sat up and looked around the unfamiliar room. Suddenly, a sharp pain stabbed his head. Grimacing in pain, he rubbed his temples with his fingers. Yawning, Satoshi stretched and sat up also. "Morning, Houtarou!" he sleepily said. "Morning..." he grumbled.
A knock came from their door followed by an awkward voice. "Fukube-san? Oreki-san? Breakfast is ready!" said the familiar feminine voice. "We'll be there in a sec!" Satoshi yelled back.
After getting dressed, Houtarou clumsily walked to the table. "So? How's the hangover?" questioned the smirking Mayaka. "Ugh..." he replied. When he looked up, he saw that Chitanda looked back down to her hands. Why did she avoid my gaze? He wondered.
