Author's Notes: I know I know, this was supposed to be out on ReJinga Day as a follow-up chapter to the last chapter. Sorry, I wound up being so tired I was falling asleep while writing...and couldn't finish it. The good news is...THREE ALL NEW CHAPTERS IN ONE DAY! School has started for me...though my books haven't arrived yet...and tomorrow will be BttB's one-year anniversary~! I'm so happy, I'm actually putting effort into drawing something for it. ^^ This chapter takes place the day after ReJinga Day, and it was written at least five times before I was happy with it. No smut, just Reiji being stupid. And not the fun stupid. Please enjoy, I'm off to upload another chapter! : D

I Gotta Feeling

Reiji groaned as he turned away from the light fighting it's way through his closed eyelids. The instant he shifted, however, his head began to feel like it was splitting in two. He heard a pathetic moan from somewhere beside him and he carefully cracked open an eye. The pyro immediately regretted it as light assaulted his retina.

Jinga whimpered from his safe place beneath the covers as his head spun. "Rei...ji...?" He snuggled closer to the red-head. "What...happened last night?"

"No idea..." Reiji croaked as he joined the smaller redhead under the covers. He chanced opening his eyes again and found the warm glow beneath his red sheets to be more welcoming than the direct harsh rays of the sun. He blindly reached out from under the covers, snatching his phone from the bedside table and drawing it to his face. He flipped it open and groaned. "We've been asleep for an entire day."

"You serious?" Jinga sighed and lightly rubbed his head. "Fuck...how did we manage that?"

"I dunno...you don't remember anything from Friday?" Reiji wrapped his arms around the redhead and nuzzled into his hair.

"Last thing I remember...we were playing Truth or Dare at the party...then...nothing." Jinga turned his brown eyes up to his lover. "...can you carry me to the bathroom? I don't feel so good..."

"Sure thing Jingie."

After a few minutes of fumbling with the sheets to keep them wrapped around the apparently naked redhead, Reiji carried the smaller teen into his and Reno's shared bathroom. He set the redhead on the cool tile and rubbed his back through the thick sheets.

Jinga shivered and let himself slide down into a curled position on the floor. "I think I remember what happened..."

~ReJinga Day Flashback – Jinga~

Jinga wandered through the trees in the park, watching the entire club partying around him. He wasn't too thrilled that most of them were already drunk off their asses, but he let it slide, seeing as it was in honor of his and Reiji's day.

"Yo, Jingie!"

The redhead turned to find Reno running full-speed at him. "No, Reno, wait!" He yelped as he was tackled to the ground by the much taller male.

"Happy birthday~!"

Rude walked up and kicked the red-head off the small teen. "Wrong day, Reno."

"Wha...?"

Jinga sighed and got up, brushing the pine needles off his shirt and jeans. "Damn Reno, I can't believe it took you this long to get drunk."

Reno had his arms wrapped around Rude as he turned to stare dreamily at the redhead. "I was drunk before I even got here~!"

This is when Jinga made the wise decision to see what his lover was up to. He shoved his hands into the pockets of his loose jeans and looked around, spotting his red-head talking with Tetsuya. The feisty crab lover had an arm slung around Reiji's shoulders and was making gestures with his free hand. Wait...I know that gesture...oh shit! Jinga made to rescue his lover, but wound up running smack into Ryugay-I mean Ryuga.

"Number Thirteen...may I ask what the rush is?"

"Sorry! Reiji, and Tetsuya, and beer!" He started to run again, but a strong hand on his shoulder stopped him.

"Jinga, it's your and Reiji's day. Relax." The white haired L-Drago blader handed the redhead a clear plastic cup. The teen took it and gave the drink a sniff. "Its not alcohol."

"I hope not..." The redhead took a gulp of the liquid and pleasantly found it to be strawberry flavored water. He downed the whole glass, thanked Ryuga, and ran off to once again find his lover.

He found him alright. Reiji was standing on his head with Tobio holding a tube going into the red-head's mouth and Tetsuya pouring beer into a funnel. Everyone around them, mostly club members and some of their friends from school and work, were shouting 'go, go, go!' over and over. The redhead folded his arms across his chest and glared at his lover from a safe distance.

Once all the beer was gone and Reiji was gently placed ride-side-up, Jinga stalked over and grabbed him by his shirt collar.

"Jingay~! How's my little munchkin doin'~?" Reiji slurred, stumbling as the redhead dragged him away from the cheering crowd.

"And this is why I hate it when you drink...what the fuck were you thinking?" He turned to yell at the red-head once they were away from prying eyes.

"Well, Tetsuyee bet me ten bucks I couldn't drink a whole," he made wide arm-movements, attempting to show a giant keg of beer, "thing o' beer, and I told 'im, I said, I said, 'listen dude, I'm fuckin' Irish! I can so drink that much beer!' and now, now, I got ten bucks! Ha!" He slumped over the redhead, forcing them both to the ground. Reiji pushed himself up with a shaky hand and stared deeply into the angry brown eyes of the redhead. "I love you so much Jingie...you have no fucking idea..."

"You have a funny way of showing it..." Jinga shoved the older teen off him and stood, taking a deep, calming breath. "I'm going home, you can find a ride from someone sober." He strode off, catching the attention of Chao-Xin.

"Oi! Jingie!"

"I'm not in the mood, Chao..."

The dirty-mahagony blader caught up with the smaller teen and started walking in front of him, backwards. "You okay? You looked pissed..."

"That's because I am. Great fucking observation." Jinga picked up his pace and shoved his way pass the taller mahagony blader.

"Jingie..."

Jinga was almost to one of the exits from the park when he began to feel light-headed. He stopped in his tracks and brought a hand in front of his face. "Oh boy..." The redhead wiggled his fingers and found them to look rather cosmic. "Somebody's gonna die..." His drink had been spiked. Most likely by Ryuga, purely for the insane man's pleasure of watching the redhead take the stick from up his ass. Jinga turned and sure enough, Ryuga was standing by Doji, both males smirking at him.

~ReiJinga Day Flashback – Jinga End~

"That bastard!" Both Jinga and Reiji flinched at the redhead's loud yell. "Fucking Ryugay spiked my drink...I don't remember anything after that..."

Reiji laid down beside the redhead and wrapped an arm over him. "I'm so sorry Jingie...I know you hate it when I drink, and I really should have been watching over you with so many people around..."

"'s okay..." Jinga closed his eyes and snuggled closer to the pyro. "But if I ever catch you drinking again, you're gonna die."

~ReiJinga Day Flashback – Reiji~

Reiji waved over to Chao-Xin, watching his friend play Limbo with a few other club members and friends. He took a sip of flavored water that he had gotten from Ryugay, scanning the area for his lover.

"Yo, Reiji."

The pyro turned and grinned at Tetsuya. "Hey dude, what's up?"

The crab freak shrugged and took a swig of beer from his half-full can. "Figured I'd stop by and wish you and your little love-crab happy ReiJinga Day. Congrats." He clapped the red-head on the shoulder and finished the rest of his beer. "So, the little crabz still not lettin' ya drink around him?"

Reiji sighed, turning his eyes down to stare into his drink. "Yep. I'm not really complaining though, if it means I get more time with him."

"Bet twenty bucks you couldn't drink a keg o' beer in ten seconds."

Reiji snorted. "Could to! Remember Tetsuyee, I'm Irish, I was born for drinking."

The crab freak waved over a couple of his friends from work, the three of them holding a keg of beer, a long-ass tube, and a funnel.

The pyro gawked. "Wait, you mean now? In front of Ryuga?"

Tetsuya stepped away from his fellow member and smirked. "I'm surprised you're not more concerned over the possibility of Jinga seeing you."

Reiji opened his mouth to come up with a witty retort when he caught Ryuga watching him from a few meters away. The white haired L-Drago blader was daring him with the look in his eyes.

"You're on."

~ReiJinga Day Flashback – Reiji End~

"That bastard Tetsuya bet me twenty bucks – why did I only get ten?"

Jinga snorted. "Maybe Chao-Xin remembers what happened?"

"Maybe..." Reiji crawled out of the bathroom, staying low to the floor to avoid the sunlight streaming in through the window. He snatched his phone and crawled back to Jinga, sitting cross-legged next to him. He dialed the number, put the phone on speaker, and set the device on the floor.

A cracked, pathetic voice came after a few seconds. "Hello?"

"Chao-Xin? Dude, you sound terrible..." Reiji said.

"Hangover...can't talk..."

Jinga grabbed the phone. "Wait Chao – do you remember anything from the party yesterday?"

"Uhm...just that you and Reiji wound up fucking on one of the jungle gyms."

Reiji and Jinga stared at each other with shocked faces.

"You wanna talk to Da Xiang?" Chao-Xin asked miserably.

Jinga blinked. "Yeah..."


Chao-Xin turned over in bed, his hands passing by sweat proof camo-skinned JayBird BlueBuds X earbuds while reaching in and pressing the button for the intercom just a few inches above the headboard.

"What is it Chao?" Da Xiang answered from the kitchen.

"Reiji and Jinga are on line 1." The mahagony blader shifted under the covers.

"Okay Chao." Da Xiang picked up his JeTECH H0781 BlueTooth earpiece and pressed the blinking red button which emitted the ios7 Aurora tone on the answering machine. "Reiji, Jinga; good morning."

"Da Xiang, do you remember what happened yesterday at the party?" Reiji asked.

"You made an ass of yourself, Jinga was drugged by Ryuga, and you both wound up entangled on the brightly-colored jungle gym. Is that all?"

"..."

"Reiji, either say something, or I'm hanging up."

"...thanks Da Xiang."

Da Xiang took off the portable device and set it beside the machine, sighing as he moved to pick up the breakfast tray for Chao-Xin. "Some people just can't handle alcohol..."


Reiji flipped his phone shut and stared at his lover.

Jinga glared. "I hate you. So much."

"At least we found out what happened, right?" He grinned sheepishly.

"Right." The redhead stood up and hobbled to the shower. "I feel like shit so I'm gonna take a shower."

"Okay..." Reiji crawled out of the bathroom, collapsing on his carpeted floor. He flinched as the bathroom door was slammed shut behind him. "I really fucked up this time..."
