Friends.
It was an awkward silence. Everything in his body told him to run. He turned to count to steps he would need to take to get back to the door to leave. The sounds of difficult huffs to breathe stopped him. He looked down at Mai, he had caught her breaking her fall. What an annoying girl. But her actions were very unusual, her body pale, and a foul odor of alcohol burned his nose. What in the bloody hell did she do? Her evening companion had left, it was just the two of them. Damn it. That made him uncomfortable.
Half an hour later they were still in the same spot. It wasn't right. Mai hadn't said one word. He began to regret looking for her. Sometimes some situations could be helped, but he wondered if this one could've been avoided. "Bakura?" Her voice was different than normal. But that was to be expected. She wrapped her arms around him, surprisingly to the both of them he didn't withdraw or push her away. "Don't leave me."
He rolled his eyes, yeah because he was going to send her home in her current state? He wasn't an idiot. "You should get some sleep." She let go and walked towards the direction of what he guessed was a bedroom. She stumbled and wobbled, but she stopped five steps to turn around. He gave her a confused look then came up with the answer on his own, "No." his voice was annoyed and rude. Mai frowned. What was she upset abo… right she's drunk.
Damn her and her overemotional state.
Why in the world did he step forward he had no idea. Probably because he if had protested there would've been tears and that would've gotten him to do just about anything. Emotional drunks were annoying, anything to avoid them especially females. A smile returned to Mai's face as she grabbed his arm and lead the way.
The room was dark. Mai still made her way over to a bed and pulled him down next to her. There was absolutely nothing he could do. The awkward silence now grew into an uncomfortable situation. They both laid there on her bed, she snuggled close, her head on his chest. He hated sleeping next to people, they invaded his space. He was almost ready to go into panic. "Oh.. I forgot.." she moved off of him. "You're different."
"Thanks." He was relieved.
"What are friends for?" he heard her giggle. What made her think they were friends? She went to reach for his hand, but when she brushed against his arm he moved away. "…Friends… why else would you still be here?"
That caught him off guard.
Why did he find her again? He couldn't remember. He could've just walked away and ignored her. Or at least called Tea to deal with her. He was only supposed to find her not stay with her.
He sighed, so the drunk could've been right… He gave up. "You're such a needy friend…" and annoying and a pain in the ass. He grabbed her hand lacing his fingers in spaces between hers. "But somehow still interesting." One uncomfortable night wouldn't kill him.
