He sighed as he watched her sit with Souten. She was being quiet and there was a lot of tension. He hated it when she was sad…especially when he felt like it was his fault. He sat across from them at the table and in front of his meal.

"What?" He asked when he saw them both staring at him. Abi frowned and looked down and Souten just shrugged.

"Why is Abi sad?" Souten asked and they both looked at her.

"I'm not sad, sweetie." Abi half-heartedly smiled.

"Sure…" She mumbled and Hiten gave her a death glare but never spoke. He continued to silently eat his meal. "Did you say something?"

"Souten, drop it." He barked and she sighed.

"Maybe you should talk about it…" She suggested.

"Shut up." He glared again.

"It might help."

"Souten, shut your fucking mouth!" He snapped and they both winced.

"Don't swear at her." Abi spoke now.

"I wasn't talking to you."

"I'll be in my room." Souten rolled her eyes and walked out.

"You can't treat her like she's an adult, Hiten." She sighed. He stood up and dug through the cabinets. "What are you doing?"

"You're mood is pissing me off." He mumbled and scanned the shelves.

"Nothing is the matter with my mood." She glared.

"Please, I like you better when you're pissed off…at least you aren't so fucking….miserable looking."

"Hiten!"

"Here." He placed a bottle in front of her.

"I don't drink." She crossed her arms.

"Don't give me that shit."

"That was one time." She argued.

"And you enjoyed yourself." He nodded and handed her a glass. "I won't have any." He sat beside her.

"I don't trust you." She glanced at him through the corners of her eyes.

"Abi…I won't hurt you or take advantage of you…or any of that." He assured.

"I don't want to drink."

"Just relax….you never do." He rolled his eyes. "Or are you going to be miss proper princess?" He mocked. She glared and grabbed the bottle.

-

"Sh!" He growled as he led her into the room. She giggled and held his shoulder for support.

"Come on!" She stood in front of him and kissed his neck playfully.

"Abi." He whispered and shut the door. She jumped on the bed and spread her legs in the air. She signaled for him to join her and he rolled his eyes. He stood at the foot of the bed and she wrapped her legs around his waist to pull him down.

"I want you…" She smirked and he smiled a little as he crawled closer.

"Oh yeah?"

"Mhm." She nodded and leaned forward to brush her lips against his. He pulled away at the smell of sake on her breath. "What's wrong?" She blinked.

"Abi…you're drunk…"

"No I'm not." She laughed. "I'm ready." She leaned forward and whispered.

"You want it?" He teased.

"Yes!" She moaned and he began to kiss her neck. He pulled away and smirked down. "I'll be a good girl."

"I hate girls." He answered seriously.

"Oh? What about me?" She cocked her head.

"You're all woman." He smirked again and she smiled. He brushed his lips against hers and she wrapped her arms around his neck. She lightly moaned in his mouth and he sighed as he pulled away.

"Just…no…"

"Why not?" She pouted.

"Because…I won't make a whore out of you anymore than I already have, alright?" He frowned.

"I'll stay." She smiled.

"No."

"Why? We could get married like you wanted and….I'll always be here and…you'll be happy every night…" She slurred and his eyes got wide.

"Married?"

"Yeah…you wanted to…let's!" She smiled.

"Abi…" He whispered.

"I promise I'll always be with you if you want. We'll get married and have kids and…" She smiled.

"Just…" He stopped when he felt her hand wander below his waist. He grabbed her wrist to stop her and pinned it to the bed beside her head. She snickered.

"I love you….I mean it…." She frowned.

"It's just…"

"You don't love me?" Tears welled up in her eyes.

"No, Abi, it's not like that I…"

"I knew you were using me!" She yelled.

"Sh, be quiet!" He glanced at the door. "Abi…I would give anything to spend the rest of my life with you, honest." He watched her faintly smile again.

"You mean it?"

"Yeah…" He frowned. He rolled beside her.

"I'll stay…I promise…" She nuzzled into his chest.

"Until I'm better…" He mumbled. He looked down and saw her passed out.

As much as he wanted her promises to be true, he knew she wouldn't remember a single one the next day.
