hello, and welcome to chapter nine. I don't know how much further I'll write the story, but I'll probably find some inspiration somewhere.

Anyways, if you think this chapter is too cheesy or something at the end, BLAME FRANK SINATRA. That came wrong. He's a great singer and writing while listening to him is much easier and more natural then i thought. Kinda weird, a sixteen year old metal head that likes frank sinatra. Oh well, I've done stranger stuff.

Enjoy ^^

(edit: i noticed that some text got lost right after the next morning. I put the missing part in, so if you've read this already, do it again. everything will make more sense.)

It was past midnight when Takashi and Rei started to feel the effects of alcohol kick in. They were talking just a moment ago, but when they went silent Takashi started to think.
"How is the rest doing? Did they find shelter? Do they have something to keep them warm this night? Were they able to put Alice to bed? Did Kohta and Saya get together already? Are they together in bed already do- OOOOKKKAAY STOP RIGHT THERE BEFORE YOU GET TRAUMATIZED BY YOUR OWN IMAGINATION!"
"Takashi, are you all right? You look kind of shocked?" Takashi looked at Rei. She looked cute when she was worried, especially with the moonlight illuminating her from behind. It made her skin shine and highlighted, uhm, certain areas to call it safely.
"Uhm, I was just thinking." Takashi said with a small blush. When he saw Rei's smirk, he quickly looked away.
"About what could it be?" Rei asked teasing.
"Well, winter is nearing and the nights are getting cold, so I was thinking about how we could stay warm this night." Takashi explained in a rush.
"There're various ways to do that."
"What did you have in mind?"
"It's just something I heard of, but sharing body-heat seems to work wonderfully." Rei whispered in his ear. Takashi looked surprised at Rei. Then he noticed the empty bottle. Last time he checked, there was still… half… in… it.

...

...

Crap. He's alone with a girl in an abandoned warehouse. A drunk girl. That's in love with him. And is more assertive when she's in that state. Not good. And if that wasn't bad enough, he felt his hormones kick the living crap out of his partly sober mind. He had to act. Now. In the correct way.
"I'll go find something to use as a blanket." Takashi said as he got up a bit too quick. He staggered a bit thanks to the alcohol. Rei supported him. He looked at her, but looked a bit too low. He stared right in to her cleavage. Rei saw it and pressed herself against Takashi. Takashi felt her breast pressing against his arm… Scratch that, it looked like his arm was put right between them. He felt his face heat up.
"See, I told you it worked." Rei said as she came closer with her face. She gently put her lips against his. Fuck it. The hormones won. Takashi gave in, starting to kiss back. They continued their kiss for two minutes before they had to stop for some much needed air. They looked in each other's eyes for a moment before they started kissing again. This time Takashi became a bit rougher and it made Rei moan. Suddenly Rei's head fell down.
"Rei, all you all right?" Takashi asked worried. He blinked in confusion when he heard a light snoring. Did she just fall asleep while they were making out?
"I can't be that bad. Right?" Takashi asked to himself. He put Rei down gently before he found a sheet he could use as a blanket to cover her. After he did that, Takashi went out the door and breathed the cool night air in.
"What the hell did you just do? Don't you love Saeko?" he said angry to himself. He didn't know that Rei heard while she fell into a deep slumber.

The next morning
Rei woke up with a terrible head ache. When she saw Takashi sleeping seven feet away from her and the blanket draped around her, she remembered last night. She looked ashamed at Takashi. She assumed for a while already that Takashi was in love with Saeko and what he said last night, proved it. Yet he did that to her last night.

After you got drunk. He'll probably treat it as a mistake or pretend he doesn't care as always.

She wanted to know the truth. She waited until Takashi woke up.

Takashi opened his eyes with a slight head ache. He saw Rei staring at him with a serious look on her face.

"About last night…" Takashi started.

"Do you love her?"

"… Yes. I'm sorry if I hurt you with what I did last night, but the truth is that I love Saeko." Takashi braced himself for a punch and some screaming, but it never came. He looked at Rei.

"It already ended for me when I started dating Hisashi, didn't it? And yet I kept on using and hurting you." She kissed Takashi one last time.
"Maybe I can start to move on right now." She said with tears in her eyes. Takashi pulled her into a hug, and she just started crying.
"I will always care for you Rei." He whispered.

"What are you going to do about Saeko?" Rei asked.
"Tell her the truth, hope she doesn't kill me and forgives me. And if I survive it, I'm going to give Kohta a piece of my mind."
"She won't kill you."
"I sincerely hope so." They both started laughing.
"Let's go. The others will be worried about us."
They went to the temple where they promised to meet the others. Scared for what might happen with the group when the news came out, but it was something they had to do. Better come clean than to keep quiet about it. It would be that more devastating if they kept it quiet.
