Being Drunk
It had been a while since Yokozawa had gone out drinking with Aikawa Eri. He might not have even done it that night, but Kirishima was still working on end-of-the-cycle things and Hiyo had been shipped off to a sleepover with a friend. So, when Aikawa had approached him, he'd agreed- not really thinking that she had alternative motives this time.
After several drinks, Aikawa was tipsy and giggly but, for the most part, had her wits about her. Yokozawa, on the other hand, was face-down on the table, his face completely red. Aikawa had almost forgotten what an emotional drunk he could be.
"I'll take you home, Yokozawa-san," Aikawa said, giggling as she stood up and stumbled about three steps to the right.
"I don't wanna go home," Yokozawa muttered.
"But what about Sorata?"
Yokozawa seemed to consider this, then sighed and said, "I need to feed Sorata."
As they headed out onto the street, Aikawa finally managed to say, "So where have you been all this time?"
"Huh?" Yokozawa squinted at her. "I have a life outside you, you know."
"Well I know that." Aikawa giggled, not offended in the least. "Everyone says you've been spending a lot of time with the head editor of Japun."
"Oh. Him." Yokozawa sighed and let Aikawa push him into the taxi she'd called.
"Yes him! So spill!" Aikawa was sparkling almost literally, and Yokozawa squinted at her.
"He's overbearing, a tease, and he's obsessed with his daughter."
"And?" Aikawa couldn't help but smile when she realized Yokozawa had fallen asleep there in his seat. Maybe she'd get what she wanted later, and it'd go directly to Usami-sensei.
It actually is a canon fact that Yokozawa and Aikawa are drinking buddies. Sometimes Mino joins them too, apparently.
