Love and Tears
A/n- I don't own SMJ. Anyways, I'll pick up where I last left off! Oh, and I'll warn you now.Otaru and Lorelei are EXTREMELY out of character. so while you're reading this if you don't like it stop immediately because I pull them farther and farther away from how they were in the series. OOOOK THEN!!!!! Oh, also, Otaru accepted to go to dinner w/ Lorelei because he was surprised & didn't know what to say. not because of a sudden hatred towards the marionettes.
Lorelei grabbed Otaru's arm and led him into the city, until they reached the restaurant that she wanted to eat in. They walked through the doors and stood next to the sign that said "Please wait to be seated". A waiter then came up to them.
"Just two?" the waiter asked them.
"Yes," Lorelei said. The waiter then lead them to a table with a tall candle burning in the middle and handed them their menus.
"Uh. why did you ask me to dinner?" Otaru asked her as soon as the waiter walked away.
"Why not?" Lorelei said as she read over the various meals on the menu.
"I mean, out of all of the men you've seen why did you ask me to go to dinner with you and not somebody else?"
"Because. because you seem like a nice guy," she said as she folded up her menu. "Have you decided what you'd like to order?"
"Yea," Otaru said while he too folded up his menu.
"What would you like to drink?" the waiter asked as soon as he returned.
"Can we have a bottle of sake and two glasses please?" Lorelei asked before Otaru could say any drink requests.
"Of course," the waiter said as he walked away.
"Why are you ordering alcohol?" Otaru asked her while giving her a strange look.
"Because I like the taste," Lorelei responded.
"Do you like any of the people that you've met so far?" Otaru asked her.
"Besides you. nope," she responded with a smile.
"Here you go," the waiter said as he placed the sake and glasses down on the table.
"Thank you," Lorelei said as she filled each glass. She took placed one in front of Otaru and took the other in her hand. "Relax Otaru, and have some sake, you'll feel better."
"I-If you say so." he said as he sipped at the sake.
"How much do you love them?" she asked him suddenly, after draining her glass.
"Who?" he asked, though he knew the answer.
"Lime, Cherry, and Bloodberry," she responded as she filled up each of their glasses with more sake.
"Why is that important?" he asked while he finished up his glass and refilled it.
"I'd like to know," she said as she drank her entire glass in one gulp and refilled it quickly.
"How much did you love them?" he asked as he gulped his sake down and refilled it.
"Who?" she said while doing the same.
"Faust and Ieyasu," he said and gulped down his sake and refilled it, though spilling a bit on the table since he was getting a bit tipsy from all the alcohol.
"I haven't the faintest idea of what you're talking about," she said and then finished her glass and spilling a lot on the table from her attempt to refill her glass.
"What would you like to order for your main course?" the waiter asked, startling both of them.
"Get us an okonamiyaki!" Lorelei said quite loudly before finishing yet another glass of sake. "And another two bottles of sake!" she yelled after him as he walked away.
"Make mine a modernyaki!" Otaru yelled before finishing the remaining sake in the bottle.
"Hey that wasn't fair!" Lorelei said as she pointed to the empty bottle. "I wanted some too!"
"There will be more soon the waiter is getting us another bottle!" he said to her. "And besides, you had the first glass so it was fair!"
"Here you go," the waiter said as he placed plates of food and another two bottles of sake on the table.
"Can you get one more bottle of sake just in case?" Lorelei asked him as soon as he had put everything down.
"Of course," the waiter said before he walked away.
"Hey this is great!" Lorelei said after her first few bites. "Here Otaru you try!" she put some on the fork and stretched across the table.
"Ok!!!" Otaru said as he ate the food. "THAT IS GOOD!!!" he said after swallowing it. He then took a bite of his own food. "OH MY GOD THIS IS GOOD TOO!!!!" he said. "HERE YOU TRY, ITS GREAT!!!" he put it on the fork and gave it to Lorelei.
"YUM!!!" she said happily. "We need some more sake though!" she said as she filled up each of their glasses.
"Great food!!" Otaru said as he toasted with her. They each finished their glasses within seconds. "I think you need more sake!!!" he told Lorelei as he handed her the bottle. She then chugged half of the remaining sake in it.
"You deserve some too!!!" she said as she handed him the bottle and watched him do exactly as she had done. "Isn't it GOOD when its chugged?" she said slowly as she began having more food.
"YEEEEA," Otaru said as he too ate his food.
They then finished the next bottle of sake within 13 seconds flat.
"That's it, you two have had too much to drink!" the waiter said as he returned with the next bottle of sake. "I'm taking this back!" he said while walking away.
"NOOOOOOO!!!!" they both said while crying anime-style.
"Oh well, at least the food is good!" Otaru said as he resumed eating his meal.
"Yea!" Lorelei said while she too began eating again. They both finished within the next 10 minutes. "I NEED THE CHECK!!!!!!!!" she yelled so loud that it seemed as though the building shook.
"Oh my, you two are extremely drunk!" the waiter said as he took away their dishes.
"I fell kinda tired." Lorelei said as she yawned.
"Yea," Otaru said and then almost immediately fell asleep on the table. Just moments later Lorelei too fell asleep on the table.
"WAKE UP!!!!!!" the waiter yelled minutes later, after he had returned and unsuccessfully woken them up by poking them with one of the empty sake bottles. "That's it, I'm getting the police involved!!!" he said while rushing to the nearby phone.
"WHADAYA WANT?!" Otaru yelled about half an hour later, when the policeman finally got him to wake up by repeatedly poking him. "OH MY GOD!!!" he yelled when he noticed that he had just yelled at a cop, while waking up Lorelei from all of the yelling.
"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!?!?!?!" Lorelei yelled so loud that yet again the building seemed to shake.
"Can you each try to walk in a straight line for me?" the cop asked them in a calm voice, unusual compared to everybody else's voices at the moment.
"Alright," Otaru said as he awkwardly got up, having a headache and feeling a little nauseous. He began to walk from one side of the restaurant to the other, wobbling and leaning on whatever he could.
"Ok that's enough," he told Otaru, "and now you," he told Lorelei.
She too tried to walk in that straight line but was about as successful as Otaru was.
"Alright, that's enough," the cop told her. "I'm going to drive you two home," he told them after scribbling in his notepad. They then each told him their addresses. He first dropped off Lorelei, who went right inside, with the help from a few marionettes to lean on. While he was dropping Otaru home, he saw Hanagata standing in front of the apartments.
"OTARU-KUUUUUUN!!!!!! I WAS SO WORRIED ABOUT YOU!!!" Hanagata said right when Otaru got out of the car. He ran over to Otaru and helped him in. He heard no protests from Otaru, as he was so drunk & tired that nothing at the moment could really bother him. Otaru immediately went to bed after reaching his futon.
The next morning, after most of the worst effects of their hangovers wore off, Otaru and Lorelei saw each other again, and like the night before, only with MUCH less alcohol, they began going out for a long time. After a while, Otaru admitted to loving Lorelei, and vice-versa.
It was the night before their yearly anniversary, when Otaru had a strange dream. He was sitting in a classroom, only not paying any attention to what was going on. Almost instinctively, he was looking out the window. There he saw a blue-haired girl in a school uniform. A shorter, girl with light purple hair appeared to the right of her, and a taller red-haired girl to the left. The blue-haired girl smiled at him and though they weren't anywhere in hearing distance from the volume of their voices, he heard her say "We got him to understand." Otaru woke up suddenly, shaking.
"Could it be." he trailed off when he found what he was looking for, the woodblock print that the neighbors had given him so long ago when he had returned from infiltrating Gartlant. The print had him and three marionettes, with their names near their pictures. "Lime.Cherry.Bloodberry." he whispered as he looked at pictures of them. He was now certain that they were the girls from his dream. Then he gasped when he realized what the meaning of the dream was. At least he thought he knew what the meaning was. But how is that possible? Are they really finally returning to me? He thought. What will I tell Lorelei? He stopped thinking so much at the moment and started making himself breakfast. He was almost finished cooking when he heard a faint squeaking noise, which sounded oddly familiar, getting louder and louder and seemingly closer and closer.
"OTARU!!!! I'M BACK!!" he heard right when the door was thrown open. He saw Lime, Cherry, and Bloodberry standing there smiling. Then they all ran forward and began hugging him. He could only stand there and allow himself to be hugged, in all of his shock. He was pondering of what to do when he suddenly froze at the sound of a familiar voice.
"Hey Otaru, I have a surprise for you!" he heard Lorelei say. She came over to the open door and then stopped suddenly, at what she saw.
"HI LORELEI!" Lime said, while still hugging Otaru.
"W-w-w-when did you g-get back?" Lorelei asked no particular marionette, while her face still held a shocked look.
Ok I decided to end this chapter since it was getting boring typing a lot in one chapter. Anyways, send me reviews and if ya still like it then I'll upload chapter 3 (when I finish it).
