"You made it!" exclaims Kuroo.
"Yes I made it," I replied smiling at Kuroo. "Lucky for you I decided not to have a party of my own."
"You know everyone would have came to mine anyway," says Kuroo smirking. He has gotten a little taller but still sporting that same hairstyle he had since high school. A few of us just finished college Kuroo being one and he is throwing a party. Kuroo, Bokuto, Akaashi, and Kenma are renting a really nice house together. It's not big but a nice 5 bedroom with a den, dining room, and living room. Bokuto made the Olympic team and has the money to spend. I believe Kuroo is going to be trying out for the next Olympic games now that his small foot injury has healed.
"Sugawara!" exclaims Bokuto walking over with a cup. "So glad you could make it!"
"I'm here," I reply as he wraps his arm around me. "God are you drunk already?"
"Well on my way man," he grins. "Come let's join the rest of the guys and gals."
"Okay," I say slowly. Bokuto leads me into the living room that is lively with many people I knew in high school as well as people I'm sure they met at school as I can't place their faces. I watch as Hinata walks up to me smiling.
"Hi Suga," he greets.
"Hi Hinata," I reply. "How are you?"
"I'm fine," he replied. "Just ready to enjoy the summer." We walk into the kitchen so I can fix myself something to drink.
"You got big plans?" I ask looking at him.
"If sleeping in when I can counts then yes," he laughs. I smile at him as I reach for the honey whiskey. "Going for the sweet stuff huh."
"Yeah, I'm not feeling myself to be in a mixed drink kind of mood," I explain. "Where is your boyfriend?"
"He is somewhere with Tanaka," states Hinata. "Who knows what kind of trouble they are stirring up." I can only imagine. I look at Hinata and he has gotten taller standing at 5'7 and a half. He was disappointed he didn't get taller but said he would happily accept whatever he got. I look over as Bokuto is in the living room turning on music grinning like crazy. He starts dancing immediately with his drink in his hand, some splashing on the floor. I shake my head as I snip my own drink. "And here he goes." I chuckle leaning against the counter. I watch as my friends dance and have a great time. Hinata left my side to join our friends on the dance floor. I fix myself a second drink before I feel a lot more relaxed. I am going to dance but I want to feel more of a buzz before doing so.
"Hey," I hear someone say into my ear. I know that voice and tonight it is sending tingles down my spine, probably this alcohol coursing in my system. I turn around and see Daichi. He smiles once we make eye contact. "What you doing over here?" Daichi is still as handsome as ever. His dark hair is actually fluffy tonight letting me know he took a shower and didn't put any product in his hair. He is a littler taller than me at 6'1 as I am 5'11. He decided to let volleyball go so he could focus on his degree in business management. He currently holds a job as an assistant manager for an upcoming software company. Dare I say he is really good at it. He actually has a nice apartment and car of his own. I have my own place but it's a pretty small unit. It's all I can afford for now.
"I'm just enjoying myself," I reply. "When did you get here?"
"Not too long ago," he explains. "What are you drinking?"
"Liquor," I reply. "You want?" Daichi usually doesn't drink but I always offer to not be rude.
"Sure, why not," he replies shocking me. "What are you drinking?"
"Uh u-um the honey whiskey," I reply. Daichi looks at the bottles spotting it quickly. I stare on as he pours some into a cup. "Not too much," I warn.
"Is this good?" asked Daichi showing me his cup. I nod yes before looking at him. "What?"
"You never drink," I reply. "I mean like never." Daichi nods in agreement.
"I know," he replies. "I just want to try and enjoy myself tonight." I continue to look at him still not fully understanding. "I'm fine okay. My life is good and I just want to have a drink and enjoy this party." I look back out to the living room dance floor that is paced. Poor Kenma is fighting to get away when Kuroo grabs him stopping him from leaving. Daichi takes a sip from his cup. His face doesn't change at all as if he is use to drinking. "So how is work going for you?"
"Uh it's okay," I reply. I like the company I work for, I like what I do. I am an administrator for auto claims. I mostly make sure the claims rep has everything they need, schedule meetings, training, things of that nature. What I don't like is my boss. She has tried to hit on me on more times than I can count. I keep things professional and try not to be rude but that is becoming more challenging as time goes on.
"I know that tone," says Daichi. "What's really going on?" I look into his eyes becoming a little nervous, not clear on why I feel that way.
"My boss," I reply. "Just wants to make things more personal than I prefer." Daichi looks a little surprised.
"Can she do that?" he asked. "Don't they have some kind of rule?" I shake my head no.
"It's fine Daichi," I reply.
"It's not fine," he replies looking angry. "What kind of manager would do that? I would never do that." Daichi has higher standards than most so I find this very believable. My manager, I don't know maybe she is just lonely or something.
"Woohoo!" cheers Noya fist pumping the air as Hinata grinds on him with no shame. Daichi looks that way as I stare on snipping more from my cup.
"Those two getting together is so dangerous," he chuckles. "Look at that."
"Hey at least they are happy," I note. "I'm sure both of them are drunk and not going to remember how frisky they got in the party in front of everyone."
"So true," sighs Daichi before sipping from his cup. "This is really good Suga, you have excellent taste." I laugh.
"Not really," I reply. "I just like to keep things simple sometimes." Bokuto makes his way over to us sweating.
"Come on guys!" he exclaims. "Join the fucking party!"
"I am," replied Daichi holding up his cup.
"Naw man," says Bokuto grabbing his wrist. "Get your ass out here on this dance floor." Daichi looks at me as Bokuto drags him to the floor. Bokuto starts dancing with Daichi grinning like an idiot. I chuckle looking at how uncomfortable he is slightly. I should go and save my dear friend. I finish my drink pouring another before heading to the dance floor. I squeeze my way around my friends and random strangers before getting to Bokuto and Daichi.
"I'll take it from here," I say to Bokuto stepping between him and Daichi. Bokuto is not offended at all as he grins.
"Thanks for joining us!" he exclaims. Bakuto makes his way over to Kuroo. I start to laugh at the silly dance move he is trying to do. Kuroo is looking at him as if he is crazy. I laugh before looking at Daichi who looks relieved. He wraps his arm around my waist before leaning into my ear.
"Thank you," he says softly. My face gets hot having him this close. He pulls away looking at me smirking. "Shall we dance?" I look closer and I know the alcohol is getting to him, all the same, I don't mind dancing with him. Instead of giving him an answer I just start to move my body. He smiles as he begins to dance. I laugh we both begin to become slaves to the music. Several drinks later Daichi and I are still dancing and sweating up a storm. I fall on Daichi chest laughing.
"Oh my god," I chuckle. "I think I'm actually drunk." Daichi laughs and it sounds so carefree.
"Shhh….." he says. "Me too." We giggle and look around us. Some people have left at this point, some passed out on the sofa.
"Shit I have to pee," I say out loud. I didn't mean to, it slipped.
"Me too," says Daichi. "Let's go." I stumble my way out of the crowd as we head to the bathroom on the first floor. I try to open it but the door is locked. I keep tugging until I hear a voice say.
"Hey someone is in here!" I hear Yachi giggle. Daichi covers his mouth to keep his laugh from being heard. That giggle was not I am using the bathroom if you know what I mean.
"Sorry," I apologize. We start to walk back towards the dance floor.
"We can use the one upstairs," says Daichi grabbing my hand.
"Are you sure?" I ask as he pulls me up the stairs.
"We have known these guys forever," says Daichi. Daichi and I get to the top of the stairs and I see Kenma walking out of his room. "Can we use the bathroom up here?"
"Sure, whatever," says Kenma. He stops and looks at us. "Feel free to use to the guest room as well. You guys are really wasted."
"W-what," I stammer. I try to look sober, whatever that is. "We're not that bad." Daichi pushes me behind him.
"Thank you Kenma," he smiles. "You are so awesome." Kenma chuckles.
"Yeah you guys are fucked," he notes before heading back downstairs. Daichi starts laughing as he makes his way over to the bathroom dragging me along.
"I don't think we are that bad," I reply heading into the bathroom. Daichi cuts on the light making his way to the toilet.
"Take a good look in the mirror," he says. I can hear Daichi start to relieve himself as I look into the mirror. I'm shocked by what I see. My hair is flying everywhere, my cheeks are stained red, my eyes are also beginning to look red in the corners.
"Dear god….." I mutter leaning forward and can even see the sweat on my forehead starting to dry. Daichi laughs as he walks up to wash his hands. For the first time, I really take in his appearance, his hair is also sticking up in certain places and is eyes are red whereas his cheeks look normal. I make my way over to the toilet using it feeling happy as hell to empty my bladder. God, how long had I been holding that in?
"This is turning out to be a great night," says Daichi. I flush the toilet turning to look at him.
"Yeah you are doing so many things you usually don't do," I note walking over to the sink washing my hands. "I don't think we should have any more drinks."
"I agree," says Daichi. "But since we have been granted to stay the night I say fuck it." I burst out laughing.
"Okay," I agree unable to say no to this party Daichi. We make our way back downstairs towards the kitchen getting new cups and filling up. Kenma is actually dancing with Kuroo which is surprising me since he was running from earlier. Hinata and Noya are on their way out the door, Tanaka is passed out on the coach. One hell of a party is all I can say. "Awww, everyone is leaving or crashing."
"We can go upstairs," says Daichi. "I'm kind of sleepy anyway." Daichi and I make our way back upstairs to the guest room. I remember the guest room was Bokuto idea as the rest of the guys didn't see the point of it. At this moment I'm super glad he won out. "Holy shit…." I don't blame Daichi one bit for saying that. Bokuto is the one who designed this room and it set up like a hotel. Nice queen size bed, a dresser with cable TV, nightstands on each side of the bed with lamps. The bedding looks so expensive.
"I feel so wrong even laying my dirty ass on this bed," I admit.
"Agreed," says Daichi still staring at the bed as if he doesn't know what to do. "God if the room wasn't starting to sway I would take a shower."
"I hear you buddy," I replied pulling my shirt over my head. Daichi and I both get undressed only leaving on our boxers. I grab the remote cutting on the TV as Daichi sits in bed looking at his cup.
"I don't think I should finish this," he says.
"Then don't," I reply. "We can toss what is left in the morning."
"I just hate wasting shit," says Daichi.
"It will be okay man," I reply sitting the remote down. I cut off the lamp as Daichi cuts off his lamp after sitting his cup down. He lays down but is grinning so hard I laugh a little. "What?"
"You ever realize how pretty you are?" he asks. The blush is creeping into my cheeks.
