Thought her day Ymir kept thinging about how she was now basically dating the girl of her dreams. It had been a couple of days since they made their new arrangement. And so far she hasn't heard a word from the little blonde.
You think after all that she'd at least call to chat or something. She knows I get worried If I don't hear from her for a while.
But despite this Ymir was confident that she could somehow pull off a friends with benifits thing with her. The key she thought would be to stop before things get to emotional and just try and keep it purely physicial.
Those are the thoughts that kept her mind busy as she made her way to work. Normally her job was tolerable but with it being the weekend she knew that the club would be packed to the brim and she'd be overworked and understaffed. But she knew if she tried to call off her boss would only come down on her, so she swallowed her agitation and made her way to work.
When she got there the line was already stretched around the side of the building.
Great, and I'm sure I'll be the only one at the bar tonight. she thought to herself as she walked through the back entrance where the other workers were getting in a quick smoke break and cursing about how busy they were about to be.
Once inside she got the bar cleaned and waited for the doors to open. As she expected, she was complety alone, and while that meant she'd recieve a small bonus she'd also be complety exhausted tomorrow.
When the doors burst open and the music started playing she readied hersef for the chaos. Drink by drink and patron by patron her attitude slowely got worse. The only thing that stopped her from screaming was the fact the music was so loud no one would be able to hear it.
After nearly two hours into her shift she was ready to start decking people. As she poured her latest customer her drink Mikasa sat down on one of the stools. "So Ymir how's life been?"
"Not in the mood Mikasa."
"Oh so things turned out badley with you and Krista?"
"Piss off Mikasa."
"Don't be like that just because she shot you down."
"Look Mikasa if I tell you what happaned will you shut up and leave me alone for a while?"
"Of course."
She took her hand and dragged her to a more selcuded part of the club. Once she was sure nobody would overheard she told her what had happaned a few nights ago. As expected the moment she told her she slept with Krista and of their new relationship Mikasa burst into laughter.
"It's not funny."
"Are you kidding? Ymir this is hilarious! You've been fantasying about getting into her pants for years and now not only have you achived your goal, but now she wants to make it a regular thing."
"Yeah I know."
After she stopped laughting and switched to her serious mode Ymir started to get to the real problem.
"Look I'm not complaioning on how things turned out but..."
"But you're worried that you won't be able to stop."
"Yeah."
"Well I can't tell you what to do. I can't even ask the boy I like out. What I can tell you is that one of two things are going to happen when this is all over. The first is that she's going to wind up being your girlfriend."
"And the second?"
"I'm pretty sure you don't need me to tell you the second. So you have a choice, you can either push your luck and hopefully wind up with someone who loves you or you can do nothing and let everything slip away."
Ymir considered what Mikasa was saying. SHe knew that their realtationship would have to change but actually dating her was impossible.
Can I even do it? You spend years burrying your feelings and telliing yourself you can't, and now that you have the opportunity you're just standting still. There's something there you know it. But best to play it safe for now. If Krsita seems interested then I'll go for it.
Their talk was interuped by the large group of people she saw walking up to the bar. Sighing she got up and left Mikasa to her own devices as she went back to work. The next few hours saw a small decline of people ordering drinks and sticking to dancing which gave Ymir a short break.
She was just leaving the bar when she felt two small arms grap her hand.
"Ymir!"
"Krista what are you doing here?"
"At first I just wanted to hang out with you, but after seeing how busy it is I thought I'd come and give you a break."
"Sounds good to me." but then she thought about what her boss would think. "Actually hold on a minute." after a quick search she found Mikasa and draggerd her back to the bar. "You're going to cover for me for a few minutes."
"Ymir what the hell! Why should I..." but then she saw Krista and burst into a grin and made her way behind the bar. "Fine but you owe me."
With that setteled Krista dragged Ymir onto the dance floor. "Dance with me." she said when Ymir refused to move and just stood still.
"Krista you know I can't dance."
"Sure you can I've seen you dance before."
"That's slow dancing. Anything else and I just look like a idiot."
"Then let's just slow dance then."
"You do realize that this isn't the kind of place for that right?"
"That doesn't matter."
Eventually Ymir extended her hand and waited for Krista to get into position. As they danced the people around them stopped to stare but the longer the danced they started to pair up and join them. The Dj seeing the scene switched the music and soon enough the entire dance floor was filled with people moving and dancing to the music.
"Been a while since we danced like this." she said moving in step with the music across the dancefloor.
"It's nice, We should do this more often. Why is it you can only slow dance anyway?"
"It's a family thing. They made sure all the kids knew how to slow dance for some reason. But I guess it does come in handy sometimes."
As the song began to slow down she saw that people were barely moving and most of them were now ending their dance with a kiss. As she looked down she saw that Krista was leaning up. Ymire leaned down and kissed her forehead instead.
When she pulled back she saw the suprise on Krista face as she suddenly pulled away. "I need a drink." was all she heard Krista say before she walked off.
What was that you idiot! You had a chance to kiss her and you just pass it up. For a few minutes that all she could think about.
She tried to ingore her thoughts and instead put her engery into finding Krista again.
When she finally got to her through the waves of people she noticed the few empty shot glass around her. "About time you got here. Youre little blonde got here and ordered something to much to handle."
To her horror Kirsta was face down on the counter switching between humming and sleeping. "She really drank this much?"
"No she tapped out after two, the rest were mine."
"Did she say anything?"
"Well she said you were a jerk if that's what you mean." Ymir instantly felt bad and wanted to make it up to her. So first she gently nudged her shoulder to get her to wake up. After a minute she rose up took one look at Ymir then suddenly bolted to the bathroom with Ymir right behind her.
Inside the stall Krista emptied her stomach as Ymir rubbed her back. "If you can't handle alchool then don't drink."
"Shut up." she retorted before throwing up again.
"Here take one of these the'll help."
"What is it?"
"Antacid, we sell them in the bathrooms."
She stayed with her for a few minutes to make sure she was alright. When she tried to stand up and instantly fell back down. Ymir helpd her up and onto the toilet.
" Can you stay with me tonight?" she suddenly asked catching Ymir off guard
"What?" she asked confused by her question
"I don't want out night to end. So let's contine at my place." she was about to say that she had to work but she looked at her watch and saw she only had a couple more hours left. And from what she saw from how Krista was struggling not to fall off the tolilet she knew there was no way she was going to let her walk home alone.
"Alright fine."
"Carry me." she said all but jumping into Ymir's arms. "Fine but if you throw up on me I'm dropping you." Krista raised her hands as Ymir scooped her up and made their way back to the front. As they passed the bar she saw Mikasa being swamped by people, she cursed at Ymir as they passed her and headed out the back and to Krista's house.
Seeing as Krista only lived a block away from the club she decided to just carry her there. A few people stopped to stare as they walked, some commented that it was cute while others darted off when they saw the glare Ymir was giving them.
Finally she arrived at her home and somehow managed to get the door open while holding her. As soon as she got inside she plopped down on the couch and let go of Krista who fell onto the soft cushions with a groan.
"Ymmmiiir the beds that way." she slurred the alcohol now fully flowing through her system. "Yeah but I'm tired so let me rest for a minute"
Krista not waiting for her ride started to strip out of her clothes in front of her. By the time Ymir realized what was happening she'd already stripped down to her bra and panties.
"Krista what are you doing?"
"Getting ready for bed."
She groaned and quickly picked her up and carried her to her room where she threw her onto the bed and rapidly rifled through her clothes for pajamas. "Here put this on."
Not wanting to get aroused she turned around and waited until she said she was decent. As soon as Krista was fully clothed Ymir stripped down to her boxers and slipped in beside her.
"Night Krista."
"Goodnight Ymir." a few seconds later she felt a hand snaking it's way across her waist. Using what self control she had she quickly pulled it back. "Not tonight Krista."
"But..."
"But nothing, not while your drunk. Now either go to bed or I'll head home"
"Fine!" she said a bit angrily as she turned around. Ymir knew she didn't mean it and it was just the booze talking.
In the morning she be back to her usual self.
