Chapter 6: Can Make A Heart Open
"Remind me again why I'm being forced to do this?" asked an irritated Yaten.
Seiya sighed. "For the hundredth time Yaten, I'm making you do this because you need to get out and have some fun. Now hold still while I will zip you up."
Yaten rolled her eyes. "Going to clubs isn't exactly my idea of a good time."
"Oh, stop complaining already Yaten. It's going to be fun. Now look in the mirror and tell me what you think."
Yaten sighed and turned around so she could see her reaction. She gasped when she saw her reflection. "I look beautiful!" she exclaimed to which Seiya chuckled in response. She had on a short sleeveless lime green dress with a heart neckline, a silver choker and silver heels. She had on silver eyeshadow with black eyeliner, along with a little bit of blush and a pale pink lipgloss. Her hair had also been put up into a bun and she had big silver hoop earrings on.
"I agree with you. You do look beautiful."
Yaten blushed and turned away. "Arigatou Seiya. You look really nice yourself."
"Are you kidding me? I look more then just nice. I look hot!" Seiya boasted to which Yaten rolled her eyes. Seiya had on a short black dress with a white bow tie at the collar. She also had on a pair of black boots that went up to her knees and a pair of fishnets underneath those. Her hair had been done in loose curls and fell down her back, complimented by dark red lipstick and smoky eye shadow.
"I wouldn't go so far as to call you hot."
"Awe come on Yaten. You know you find me sexy."
Yaten laughed. "In your dreams."
"Come on. We should go see if Taiki is ready to go." Seiya said holding out her hand to the older girl.
Yaten gave her a small smile and slipped her hand insides hers.
The two walked down the stairs to find Taiki ready and waiting at the door. She had on a short violet dress with a halter neckline along with some silver eye shadow and some pale pink lipstick. Her hair was done up in a fishtail braid and she had on a pair of silver flats.
"Are you two ready to go?" she asked.
"Hai!" Seiya exclaimed enthusiastically.
Yaten rolled her eyes at her. "Baka." she muttered under her breath.
"Come on pipsqueak let's go!" Seiya said as she dashed out the door.
"Don't call me that!" Yaten yelled at her as she made her way out of their apartment.
All three of them got into the car and drove off, Taiki driving while Seiya and Yaten sat in silence in the back seat.
When they got there, Seiya practically rushed inside leaving the two older starlights alone.
The other two made their way inside and spotted Seiya on the dancefloor dancing away.
"Why did I agree to come?" Yaten asked herself quietly.
Yaten stood off to the side with Taiki for a good portion of time before she found herself getting bored. She was getting slightly annoyed watching Seiya out on the dance floor dancing with all of the girls in the little place.
She decided to wander around the little place so thats what she did. She walked around for a little bit before she found herself getting thirsty. She spotted a bar and walked up to the bartender. "Excuse me, do you have any water?"
The man shook his head. "No, gomen. But I do have some alcoholic beverages if you'd like."
Yaten shook her head. "No thanks. I don't drink."
The man turned and poured some vodka into a small glass. "Here, have a drink. It's on the house." he said, as he held out the glass to her.
"No thanks." she said as she pushed the glass away.
"Awe come on, just one little drink? It's free."
Yaten sighed and took the glass from his hand. "Fine, I guess one drink won't hurt anything."
She took a small sip of the clear liquid and a small smile appeared on her face. She drank the rest of it and turned to the bartender. "Can you fill my glass please?"
"Why, certainly!" he said with a small smile.
Meanwhile Seiya was out on the dance floor dancing away. She was having a great time and plus she'd already gotten a few numbers from a couple of girls.
She was in the middle of dancing with a blonde girl when she felt a tap on her shoulder. "Seiya!"
She spun around only to find herself face to face with Yaten. Seiya sighed. "What do you want Yaten?"
Yaten giggled and wrapped her arms around Seiya's neck. "I want to dance with you."
Seiya sighed and tried to push Yaten off her. "Yaten are you drunk?"
Yaten giggled. "Mayybee."
Seiya rolled her eyes. "Of course." she muttered to herself. "Yaten you know that you have a low alcohol tolerance. Besides you don't even like alcohol."
"I do so like alcooohal." Yaten slurred. "Now dance with me."
"Fine. But we are going home after this."
Yaten giggled and tightened her grip on Seiya's neck as a slow song began to play.
Seiya sighed and wrapped her arms around Yaten's waist.
"You smell goood.." Yaten muttered as she nuzzeled her head into Seiya' shoulder.
Seiya sighed and looked down at the older girl in her arms. She seemed so at peace now. It was as if all her internal demons had left her and she was floating high above the clouds, content as can be. She smiled down at the silver haired girl and tightened her grip around her waist.
The two girls stayed like that for the remainder of the song. When the song was over Yaten didn't want to let go of Seiya. "Yaten, come on. We're going home."
"No!" Yaten protested. "I want to stay and dance with youuuu..."
Seiya sighed. "Fine, I guess I'll just have to carry you then." she said and picked the shorter girl up in her arms.
"Seiya!" Yaten shrieked. "Put me down!"
Seiya shook her head. "Nope, gomen. We're going home."
She carried Yaten all the way over to Taiki who was still standing alone off to the side.
Seeing the sight before her, she gave Seiya an odd look.
Seiya sighed. "It's not what it looks like."
"Is Yaten drunk?" Taiki asked.
Seiya sighed and nodded her head.
"Figures. Come on, we should take her home."
By the time they got to their car, Yaten had already fallen asleep in Seiya's arms.
Seiya carefully buckled Yaten into the back seat and climbed into the passenger seat beside Taiki.
"How did she have alcohol?" Seiya asked.
Taiki shrugged. "Beats me. She just kind of wandered off at one point. I didn't think she was going to drink since it's very rare that she does."
Seiya sighed and turned to look out her window. "I'll stay with her again tonight in case she has any more nightmares."
Taiki nodded. "Good plan."
After that, the rest of the ride home was silent.
When they got inside Seiya carefully carried Yaten up to her room and laid her down on her bed. She removed her heels and put them aside. Then she removed her earrings and her choker. Then she carefully undid her bun and laid the blanket over top of her.
"Not going to change her into her pajamas?" Taiki asked from the hallway.
Seiya shook her head. "Nah, she'd kill me if she knew that I undressed her."
Taiki laughed. "That's true."
Seiya smiled and walked over to her. "Goodnight Taiki." she said as she gave her friend a hug.
Taiki smiled and returned the hug. "Night Seiya." she said before walking back to her room.
Seiya sighed and went back to her room to change.
She changed into her black pajamas and then removed her makeup before brushing the curls out of her hair.
When she got back to Yaten's room, the older girl was turned on her side and softly snoring in her sleep.
Seiya chuckled at her and got into bed beside her as she turned out the light.
"Goodnight Yaten." she whispered before wrapping her arms around her waist.

Yaten woke up the next morning with a pounding headache. "What happened?" Yaten asked herself quietly as she tried to sit up only to find Seiya's arms tightly wrapped around her waist.
She carefully removed Seiya's hands and sat up in bed, holding her forehead.
All of a sudden a wave of nausea hit her and she ran to her bathroom. She dropped on her knees in front of the toilet and puked out the contents of her stomach.
She pulled away feeling queasy and tried to shake off the funny feeling.
"Yaten, daijoubu?" she heard a tired voice ask.
Yaten looked up weakly to see Seiya standing at the doorway. "No..." she muttered. "What happened last night?" she asked quietly.
Seiya sighed and walked over to her. "You got drunk."
"Oh." Yaten muttered before another wave of nausea hit her.
She bent down over the toilet and Seiya pulled her hair back from the sides of her face as she puked.
"Daijoubu desu ka?"
Yaten sighed and shook her head. "No. My head hurts."
"I can get you some medicine if you want."
Yaten shook her head. "No thanks."
Seiya chuckled softly. "Stubborn as always. Anyways you should probably get some rest. Go sleep ok?"
"Ok. Arigatou Seiya." she whispered as she stood up and wrapped her arms around Seiya's neck.
Seiya smiled slightly and hugged her back. "It's no problem, now go and sleep."
Yaten smiled and pulled away. "Hai."
