3A/N: So, before we begin, all I can say is Droite will act OOC. For uh, reasons as you can tell if you read the title…Anyways, I dunno if this is any good, but I wrote it outta boredom. Take it if you want.
Also, I've NEVER written Kaito or Droite in a fanfiction. This is literally my first time ever. So, sorry!
Aaaand if enough people show interest, I might turn this into a multi-chaptered story. But only if people show interest, haha.
Anyways, I'm talking too much. Warnings are intoxicated joke, a dumb reference, and hinted Anxietyshipping.
I don't own Zexal.
Silly Drunk
She had relapsed that night. She wasn't sure as to why, but she had a faint idea.
Perhaps it was the stress she had endured being Gauche's manager, or maybe it was the fact she was truly unable to comprehend she had died during the war with the Barians.
Regardless, it didn't matter why she felt this way. She just did, and Droite somehow needed to deal with this issue.
So, when Gauche wasn't noticing, particularly when he said he was going to visit Yuma and had left to do so, the woman had escaped their luxurious hotel.
To cope with her sudden inner turmoil, she had purchased an alcoholic beverage, to say in the best of terms, and had proceeded to chug it down at the park.
Currently, she sat in a bench at said park, feeling relatively better, as well as buzzed, than when she did when she first arrived to Heartland City this morning.
However, now that the butterfly duelist thought about it, she wasn't sure how, or even if, she would get back to the hotel. Her partner was sure to notice considering she had been out several hours by now.
Eh, she didn't care right now.
She felt free at the moment, and that's all that mattered to her.
"Droite? Is that you?" a hushed voice broke the calm atmosphere the woman had been bathing herself in.
"Ehh?" she heard herself saying in response, not attempting at all to speak in her usual calm demeanor. As for the voice, it sounded oddly familiar.
No one responded, and in a sloppy manner, Droite peered around her surroundings, looking for the person whom had called her.
When she found no soul, the butterfly was to demand for this hidden person to reveal themselves when he suddenly stepped out of the shadows, bearing the typical dull expression he was known for.
"KAITY!" The dark-haired woman greeted a little too loudly, hiccupping a couple times after. She proceeded to pat the empty space on the bench next to her as she motioned for him to approach her. "Come sit next to meeee!"
The blonde-haired duelist seemed to be taken back by her strange behavior as he automatically recoiled in response. However, after staring at her with narrowed eyes, he returned to his usual dim look.
Kaito began to carefully approach her, acting as if she were some rabid animal ready to attack. Eventually, he stopped in his tracks when he stood a foot or so away from her.
"What are you doing here, Droite? And why are you out so late?" He questioned but paused momentarily, seemly picking up the scent of alcohol. "...Have you been drinking?"
"Yep," was her response as she gave a slight smile and took a swig again.
The blonde male seemed to furrow his eyebrows in response as if he was unsure what to do.
"…Is Gauche here with you?" Kaito then asked after a few more moments of silence.
A couple of hasty nods from the black-haired woman confirmed he was.
"Where?" His expression seemed to lighten as if the blonde had struck gold.
"Hooootel~," she replied in a singsong tone. "But whooo careeees? Come on Kaity, sit with me! It's been soooo long, ya know?"
"Droite," he muttered, scowling at her childish behavior. She was acting like an even more annoying version of Yuma, and that boy was already irritating enough as of now.
However, Kaito remained silent, much to the woman's annoyance. Sighing once more, she brought the jug to her lips, intent on taking yet another swig.
However, he suddenly swiped the beverage away from her grasp.
"No," the photon duelist firmly told her as he proceeded to examine the item awkwardly before placing it in a nearby trashcan.
"H-Hey! I paid for that!" the black haired woman screeched, clenching her fists angrily.
Despite her childish antics, Kaito only stared, unsure whether to reprimand her for her tantrum or not.
However, he decided not too, for he found his current situation uncomfortable as of now.
Still, he didn't want to be stuck in the park all night with a tipsy Droite. So, the Tenjo boy cleared his throat and begrudgingly extended his hand.
"Come."
"Ehhh?"
"Come on," he snapped. "I don't want to be out here all night. Let's go."
Droite narrowed her eyes in suspicion before slowly clasping her hand with his.
In an awkward fashion, he pulled her up, but due to her uncoordinated state, Droite felt herself fall into the blonde's arms.
Kaito tensed at the sudden action, but attempted to mask this by grunting. Nonetheless, the dark-haired woman noticed and giggled to herself.
"What?" he huffed, gazing down at the butterfly duelist that was leaning on his chest.
"Nothing~," she teased, somewhat pulling away.
Grunting once more, the blonde Tenjo brother swung the woman's right arm over his shoulder as he placed his left arm around her waist.
As soon as Kaito was sure she was securely in his grasp, the two began to pace off.
The somewhat short walk to the Tenjo residence was peaceful. No problems occurred, but the woman, at some point, had begun a one-sided conversation with Kaito.
He hardly understood a word of what she said, but he heard her say "Kaity" a couple of times throughout the duration he actually bothered listening to her.
Eventually, the two reached the Tenjo residence, much to the relief of the photon duelist. When they approached the door, he placed his right hand in his pocket and pulled out his house key.
Sliding the key into the keyhole, the boy proceeded to twist it, opening the door that led to the interior of the home he shared with his father and younger brother.
Droite gazed into the darkened household with slight curiosity, but upon not being able to see much other than a few silhouettes, she shifted her stare back to the ground.
Kaito ignored this as he began to make his way inside the household, dragging Droite a little as he tried to not stumble across the floor. Despite this, his companion made it rather difficult to walk without causing a little too much noise.
It became especially difficult when she began to mutter lyrics about some wrecking balls.
The blonde was confused at first but didn't bother to question as he focused his attention to getting her to his room without waking his sibling or father.
However, another predicament soon arose when they reached the burgeoning stairs that led to his bedroom. Kaito had expected this, but sadly, he hadn't anticipated the butterfly duelist to be as buzzed as she was.
The photon duelist sighed.
The blonde male wasn't too keen on the possibility of having to carry the dark-haired woman upstairs, and neither did he actually believe he would be able to.
However, finding himself to be rather determined, the Tenjo male began to make his way up the column of stairs, hopeful it wouldn't end badly.
The first couple of steps had been difficult; the most notable being the first as he had no idea how he would get Droite up on the stairs. However, with each step they climbed, Kaito was able to notice patterns she made. This helped immensely, and about five minutes later, the two young adults had successfully gone up the stairs.
Now that the difficult part of his task was completed, Kaito worked to get through the hallway that led to his room.
However, at that moment, Droite began to giggle rather loudly, much to the boy's alarm. His family was light sleepers, and if they woke up….He didn't want to finish that thought.
Instantly, he began attempting to hush her by whispering, "Droite, don't make any noise."
Nonetheless, she continued to do so, to the point the gray-eyed male had to place the palm of his hand against the dark-haired female's lips.
Still, she continued to giggle, but unlike before, they were muffled.
Rolling his eyes in frustration, he glanced around to see if anyone was exiting their room, but when no such thing happened, he exhaled.
By this time, his companion had ceased her laughing, much to his relief.
Again, he decided to continue and took a couple of more steps with Droite following to an extent.
One step, another more...
Kaito could feel the pressure building inside his chest at the fear that his dad, or even worse, Haruto, could open the door to their rooms and find him like this.
That was something he didn't need…
The blonde was pulled out of his thoughts as they reached his bedroom door.
The door that led the Tenjo Kaito's room.
The Galaxy-eyes user reached forward, with difficulty, and swung the door open. Inside was the somewhat messy room of the blonde male. Crumpled papers were nestled on the floor while there was a pile of soiled clothes near his closet. His bed sheets were disarrayed from when he suddenly got up and left his house for a midnight walk.
Taking one scan of the room, Kaito huffed to himself.
Right…He had been busy as of late and was unable to properly tend his room.
Shaking his head, he entered the room and assisted the dark-haired woman into an armchair that sat to the right of the doorframe. It was one he rarely used and only kept at the persistence of his father. It had something to do with lack of space in the living room or something.
Making sure the butterfly duelist was situated securely first, Kaito then approached his bed as he considered what to do next.
The light-haired youth briefly considered leaving Droite in her current spot, but the sudden thought of her falling and choking to death repelled that as a good idea...However, he wasn't sure at this point.
It was already late, and exhaustion was beginning to mess with his logical thinking.
Once again, he shook his head and began to prepare his bed for the woman in the distance.
As the blonde did this, his mind wandered onto why exactly he was doing this. Perhaps it was because Haruto began to enjoy her and that red-haired idiot, Gauche's, company.
Yeah, it was probably that.
The Tenjo male huffed, shaking his head for the millionth time. He then proceeded to exit his room, coming back moments later with an armful of pillows in his grasp. First, he set them down on the neatly stretched out blanket and then quickly picked up one of the fluffier pillows. Stifling a yawn, Kaito began to prop pillow among pillow against the wall so he could lay the butterfly duelist there.
When he was satisfied with his work, he paced over to Droite who seemed to be sleeping.
However, the blonde had a feeling she would be waking up when he decided to move her from the armchair to the bed.
He was right as when he hoisted her off of the armchair, she began to lazily thrash about in alarm.
It got so bad to the point she accidentally elbowed him in the chest. And while it didn't hurt too much, it did manage to exasperate the boy even more.
Frustrated at this point, the male duelist used as much strength as he could to contain her from moving anymore. However, this failed when she pulled away and escaped his grasp.
She stumbled around a little, much to his irritation.
"Droite," he harshly whispered, ready to explode. She was starting to act even more ridiculous!
However, once more, the photon duelist approached her, carefully placing a hand on her shoulder. The butterfly duelist seemed to calm upon him touching her as she shifted her weight towards Kaito.
Moments later, he was leading Droite to his bed, later helping her adjust the bed sheets to her liking.
When he was done, she was propped on the pillows in a somewhat sitting position which would benefit the woman in case she were to...spew out all she had eaten that day due to her current state.
Yawning, the blonde male sat beside her on the edge of the bed, watching her as she heaved breaths. However, he was well aware she wasn't asleep.
Through the vague shine of the nightlight (one he had put on after helping Droite into the bed), the Tenjo boy could see the dim orange color of her eyes exhaustedly looking around her surroundings.
After a few minutes of silence, the boy decided to get up when he felt a hand wrap around his in a somewhat loose grip.
"Wait," he heard her call, and the blonde turned back, attempting to not lose his last bit of patience. However, this was soon forgotten as the dark-haired woman leaned forward and placed her lips on his cheek.
He froze at her sudden action and remained so until Droite pulled away, giggling to herself at his reaction.
"Night Kaity," she slurred out moments later as he heard shuffling from the female.
The photon duelist's face was tinted a light red as he placed his palm against his cheek, still somewhat shocked that his former colleague had actually done that.
However, after much thinking, as well as regaining his senses, the Tenjo male turned and gazed to see the butterfly lover leaning against the pillow, asleep.
He watched her, smiling a bit to himself. She was...just a little cute when she slept.
Wait, he wobbled his head and proceeded to place his hands against his face.
He seriously didn't need this right now...After a few moments of calming his previous racing mind, Kaito stood up and exited his room, coming back a few minutes later with a jug of water. He placed it on the nightstand near Droite and proceeded to move the trashcan that sat near his desk right next to the bed.
After he was done, the Galaxy-Eyes user stared around the room, making sure he forgot nothing else. When the blonde was sure he hadn't overlooked anything, he allowed himself to steal a glance.
She was still peacefully sleeping, and he sighed in relief.
If Kaito could have, he would have stayed up longer, but his body was on the verge of shutting down. So, after a minute or two of making sure Droite would be okay for a while, the Tenjo male practically threw himself onto the armchair.
He fell asleep moments after, still thinking about Droite's kiss.
If he had to be honest with himself, he would say he had enjoyed the sign of affection. However, since he was Kaito Tenjo, he would never admit that.
Never.
A/N: Uhh….Might not be described but that kiss was totally slobbery, okay?
Anyways, thanks for reading!
Read, review, slap people with earphones, or not.
