"I can't protect you without holding a sword.

I can't embrace you while holding a sword."

Pein POV

Sometimes, I hate being the leader. It means having to babysit drunken idiots. But I must do what I must, for the peace of the world…

"IMA DINOSAUR! RAWR!" Lisa cried, attacking Grace. Grace simply held her hand up and stopped her hug. Sigh. What am I going to do with these idiots? Everyone was getting steadily drunker. I had barely touched whatever drink they gave me. Idiots… The music was about to start playing again and everybody shut up. Mae flipped through the singer/song guide.

"… Grace." She told everybody. Grace took a long drag from her cigarette and sighed it out again, squishing it against an overflowing ashtray.

"This is the first and last time, you guys. I told you I can't sing… Jeez… What song, Mae?" She muttered. Mae gave her a drunken grin.

"Smile, of course!" She laughed. Her other friends laughed like crazy. The music started. Grace grunted and took the microphone.

"Solace, you're backing me up." Solace obliged. "When you first left me I was wanting more But you were fucking that girl next door, what cha do that for (what cha do that for)? When you first left me I didn't know what to say I never been on my own that way, just sat by myself all day…" Grace didn't look very happy at this point.

"I was so lost back then But with a little help from my friends I found a light in the tunnel at the end Now you're calling me up on the phone So you can have a little whine and a moan And it's only because you're feeling alone." She looked quite menacing. I'd hate to brake up with her…

"At first when I see you cry, yeah it makes me smile, yeah it makes my smile At worst I feel bad for a while, but then I just smile I go ahead and smile

Whenever you see me you say that you want me back And I tell you it don't mean jack, no it don't mean jack I couldn't stop laughing, no I just couldn't help myself See you messed up my mental health I was quite unwell

I was so lost back then But with a little help from my friends I found a light in the tunnel at the end Now you're calling me up on the phone So you can have a little whine and a moan And it's only because you're feeling alone

At first when I see you cry, yeah it makes me smile, yeah it makes my smile At worst I feel bad for a while, but then I just smile I go ahead and smile

lalala

At first when I see you cry, yeah it makes me smile, yeah it makes my smile At worst I feel bad for a while, but then I just smile I go ahead and smile

…" She ended the song by throwing the microphone at Lisa's head, which she dodged swiftly. Lisa tried to hug her again. Swiftly denied again.

"I can't protect you without holding a sword. But, I can't embrace you while holding a sword. Therefore, hug or not dying. Choose." Grace growled. I laughed.

"I'd take the hug, thanks." I joked. Mae had tricked me into a shot. I felt happy. Grace scoffed and embarrassed me. I heard a click and a bright flash. Mae had taken a picture.

"Karma's a BITCH! You're lucky I didn't make you kiss, Grace!" She screamed in a drunken rage. I laughed. I don't think I would have minded…
