For Hyuuga life was simply beautiful. It was the hottest period of the year and he managed to convince the chief to give them a week long holiday. Nobody of the Black Hawks knew how exactly was he able to achieve this but after two hours of waiting they saw a very angry looking Ayanami leaving his office with a bunch of painkillers in his hand. Therefore it was highly possible that Hyuuga had simply and solely been pestering their superior till he got fed up with him and gave permission just to shut the annoying man up. As a result everyone had escaped to a place where they wanted to spend their time off before the chief could change his mind. So here Hyuuga was with his most trusted partner, Konatsu, in District 4 staying at Hotel Mermaid enjoying his time with a fancy looking cocktail in hand. Yes, life was definitely beautiful.

Konatsu was away exploring the nearby town famous for its impressive gothic architecture. Hyuuga was too lazy to get up that unholy early in the morning to go along with his partner. Besides he wasn't interested in watching buildings, he would rather visit the seaside or just relax in one of the hotel's hammocks while sunbathing. He was leisurely planning his future dinner consisting of various seafood and other special eatables when footsteps and rustling of clothes could be heard. Curiously he glanced above his berth only to lose his balance and nearly have a painful encounter with the ground. After he regained his posture he once again tried to find out who the newcomer was. He saw a short figure in a long dark robe heading for the main entrance (how the stranger didn't go up in flames in this heat was beyond Hyuuga). When the person got close enough for him to recognize the mess of dark brown hair, the young face and the jade coloured eyes he hummed in delight with a pleased smile decorating his features. He carefully got up, placed his cocktail on the nearby table and quietly followed the odd anomaly now identified as Teito Klein.

Halfway to the entrance Hyuuga got close enough to hear him muttering something about the bishop named Frau being a jerk and leaving him behind with a letter that he had something to take care of and with the task to find a place for the night. He seemed a bit frustrated. Well, not just a bit. He must have been very distracted by these thoughts; he didn't even notice that Hyuuga has been following him the entire time. Observing the fuming boy was amazingly funny. Hyuuga's grin stretched even further. When they entered the hotel's hall the man decided that was enough entertainment for now so he changed direction and sat down in the little bar. From the corner of his eyes he watched the boy talking to the receptionist and asking for a room then storming up the stairs with a frown on his face. Hyuuga shook his head. Teito really was a strange kid and he couldn't wait to get to know him better.

Teito was tired. So very tired that he didn't know if he could even reach his room. He wanted nothing but to lie down in a soft bed or the carpet would be good too... in fact he didn't really care. He was walking all day trying to find a safe place, got chased by some wild animal akin to a reptile all because of that damned bishop who of course had to take their hawkzile with him. Screw him! And now he had to stay at the most expensive hotel of all since he didn't have more energy to walk God knows how many miles till the next one. He stepped into his room and immediately collapsed onto the huge bed. He almost fell asleep but the eager grumbling of his stomach reminded him that he didn't have a chance to eat all day. At first he tried to ignore it, however, when the outrageous noises became too annoying he gathered all the strength he had left to get up and find something to eat.

After three rounds of cocktails Hyuuga felt a little light headed. He was thinking about ordering another one when he caught sight of the brown haired boy heading in his direction. He seemed a bit absent-minded as he was wandering around aimlessly not even noticing him, so Hyuuga decided he would initiate the conversation once he gets closer.

"My, my look what we have here. My I ask you what's a kid like you doing all alone in this luxury hotel?" he questioned with a mischievous smile. The boy stiffened then turned around and glared at his unwanted interrogator. For a moment he eyed the strange man who somehow looked familiar but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

"Who are…" he started when suddenly it hit him." Wait… you are that creepy guy who serves Ayanami! Hyuuga, am I right?"

"Bingo, kid," he responded with a wide smile.

"What the hell are you doing here? If you were sent by Ayanami to capture me…"

"Oh, gimme a break!" Hyuuga flipped his hand in a mocking way. "I have a holiday and I don't want to do anything related to work. So calm down, boy and have a nice chat with me!"

"Like hell!"

"Don't be so damn tense! Geez, you really should learn to relax sometimes. Maybe we should have a Sex On The Beach, that certainly would help you."

"What?!" Teito hoped he heard wrong. But sadly that was out of question since he had very sensible hearing. He couldn't say anything reasonable, he just opened and closed his mouth like a fish. This man was definitely out of his mind. Now he was thinking about turning around and running for his life as fast as he can. Upon seeing his frightened expression Hyuuga quickly explained himself with a playful smile.

"Don't get me wrong, kid! That's the name of the cocktail. I've already tried it and believe me, it's delicious. Now close your mouth and sit down!" with that he yanked the boy by his arm forcing him into the nearby chair and tossed his drink in front of him. Teito realised he was thirsty… much more than hungry. So very thirsty that he could have drunk a whole lake up but he resisted the urge to grab the glass. After all Hyuuga was his enemy and he didn't trust him a bit.

"It's neither poisoned nor drugged," the man said with a carefree smile on his face after he saw the boy suspiciously eyeing the liquid. "You could see me drinking from it earlier."

He wasn't able to fight his thirst any more. He wanted, no, he needed that glass of God knows what. He slowly lifted it up to his lips and carefully took a sip. It was surprisingly good with the taste of refreshing fruits so he greedily drank down the rest. It felt like true salvation. He wanted more. Hyuuga noticed the glint in his eyes and immediately ordered two more cocktails. Then another round.
