Makoto looked at his reflection in the mirror, he had gone through five different outfits. It was only dinner; he was over thinking this way too much. He eventually opted for a casual look of jeans and a green button up shirt. His phone buzzed letting him know Kisumi was here to pick him up. He sighed putting his shoes on and giving Ruka a quick pat goodbye.
"Hey good looking" Kisumi shouted out of his car
Makoto's cheeks reddened slightly and he hopped in the car "Thanks for coming to pick me up Kisumi"
"Anything for you" Kisumi smiled as they pulled away
"So where are we going?"
"Some place I just know you're going to love!" Kisumi stated excited "Then after dinner I know the perfect club to take you dancing"
Makoto had hoped he would forget the whole dancing idea "Uh, I still don't know if I want to go dancing"
Kisumi waved a hand at him "Nonsense it will be fun I promise"
Kisumi pulled up outside a restaurant Makoto had never seen before. A big LED sign shown the name Serenity, Makoto hopped out of the car and looked around for signs of his friends. Kisumi walked up beside him and looped his arm around Makoto's.
"Come on, everyone is probably inside" Kisumi smiled dragging Makoto along with him.
"MAKO-CHAN!" Came Nagisa's voice no sooner had they walked through the door. They were seated at a table at the back of the room. Rin and Sosuke sat side by side, Sosuke looking like he wanted to be anywhere but here. Nagisa and Rei next to them and Haru sat across from them eyeing off a nearby fishtank.
"Don't even think about it" Makoto whispered to Haru as he sat down
Haru glared at him "I wasn't thinking anything"
Makoto chuckled "if you say so"
Kisumi sat down next to Makoto "So what does everyone want to drink?" There was echo's of tea and water around the table and Kisumi frowned "Are you all old women? This is a birthday party lets hit the hard stuff!"
After arguing over drinks they settled for some Sake to start off with. A waitress came around to take their orders and Makoto had to do a double take. It was Gou wearing a maid outfit with Neko ears and tail.
Rin nearly spat his drink out "Gou! I didn't know you worked here"
"Uh, yeah I only started a few days ago, a friend of mine got me the job" She looked around uneasy "What are you guys doing here?"
"It's Makoto's birthday" Rin stated simply
Confusion crossed Gou's face "So the gangs all back together now?"
"Of course Gou-chan, No one could keep us apart" Nagisa chimed in jumping up,nearly knocking his drink over causing Rei to jump and catch it
"Nagisa be careful" He said pulling him back into his seat
Gou laughed "Good to see everyone so happy again" She glanced between Haru and Rin "Well kind of" she muttered the last bit so no one would hear. "Ok! What would everyone like to eat"
"Something with Mackerel" Haru stated not even looking at the menu
Everyone groaned "You need to expand your diet Haru" Rin muttered
Everyone else ordered leaving Makoto last, he had been staring at the menu for ages but hadn't taken one word of it in. "Um…...i'll have…um"
"He will have the green curry" Haru chimed in
Makoto looked over shocked at Haru who just shrugged. "uh yeah that's fine"
"Who wants another round of drinks?" Kisumi said waving his empty cup in the air
"Yes!" came Sosuke's voice
"You guys arnt on duty tonight?" Makoto asked
"Nah took the night off" Rin said finishing his drink "Now bring on the drinks"
The night seemed to be moving smoothly enough apart from the odd bit of tension between Haru and Rin. By the time they had finished desert everyone was starting to feel the effects of the alcohol.
"Ok, I think we should go dancing" Kisumi slurred leaning close to Makoto "I wanna see Makoto shake his toosh"
Nagisa laughed choking on his drink "Toosh"
"First! Where is the bathroom!" Rin declared half falling on Sosuke in his attempted to get up
Gou came over pointing Rin in the direction of the bathroom, Sosuke on his eels claiming "I have to make sure he doesn't fall in the toilet". Kisumi whispered something to Gou who nodded and headed to the kitchen.
"I think I should make a toilet run before we head off" Makoto stood up realising he had more of a buzz then he thought, half falling on Kisumi lap. "Sorry Kisumi"
Kisumi smiled warpping his arms around Makoto's waist "I don't mind you sitting on my lap"
Haru sat glaring at Kisumi's smug face, he didn't like him touching Makoto like that. Although he had no right to say anything about it. Makoto untangled himself from Kisumi and made his way to the bathroom. He mused at how well tonight was turning out, there had been no arguments and everyone seemed to be having a good time.
Afterwards they headed to the club which wasn't far away. "Rei-chan! Dance with me" Nagisa begged hanging off Rei.
Rei groaned, he was the only sober one and wasn't enjoy drunk Nagisa in the least "Dancing while intoxicated is not beautiful"
Nagisa pouted "Your no fun Rei-chan, Haru-chan will dance with me!"
Haru swatted him off "I don't dance"
Rin leant over near Haru whispering something in his ear, causing Haru to glare at him even more. Makoto finished his drink as Kisumi placed another in front of him.
"Oh, I don't want to drink too much more" Makoto knew his limited with drinking, thanks to some events in the past that he does not want to ever remember.
"It's a birthday drink from me" Kisumi smiled "You can stop after that one"
Makoto sighed, he didn't see the harm in one more drink. He looked up to find Haru staring at him and Kisumi. He knew Haru had never like Kisumi much, he had always found him overly clingy and annoying as he put it. Makoto sipped his drink and watched his friends around him. He watched Haru and Rin talking, unable to hear what they were saying because of the music. He could tell Rin still loved Haru by the way he looked at him.
This thought made his chest tight, he took another sip of his drink trying to focus on something else. Nagisa had ordered a round of tequila shots, which Makoto refused. Makoto's head started to feel heavy, and he was having a hard time focusing. He excused himself to the bathroom and washed his face. He stared at his reflection trying to focus on the details but everything was blurry.
Pink hair appeared in the mirror behind him "Having fun?" Kisumi whispered in his ear placing his arm around Makoto's neck
Makoto just nodded trying to focus his eyes, he had only had 4 drinks didn't he? "Kis-umi…" he muttered "I think…I drank too much" he slurred
"Want me to take you home?" Kisumi whispered in his ear
Makoto shook his head "the others…"
"They will understand"
Before Makoto could protest Kisumi dragged him out of the bathroom, he saw Nagisa dancing with an unhappy looking Rei. Sosuke was taking another shot, while Rin had his arm around Haru whispering in his ear.
"Haru…" Makoto muttered as Kisumi dragged him to the door
Once outside Kisumi leant Makoto up against a wall and rang for a cab, Makoto tried to pull a sentence together saying they should tell the others, but none of it came out making any sense.
"Don't worry Makoto" Kisumi said his face inches' form Makoto's "I will look after you"
Makoto gripped the wall as everything started spinning, he slid the ground, as everything spun he thought he saw angry blue eyes. Then everything slipped into darkness.
