Thanks for reading this story!
This fic was inspired from a question from BA: How would Ulquiorra act if he got drunk?
Warning: K alert! Beware the drunk man.
Disclaimers: I do not own Bleach and their characters (definitely); they are all masterpieces from Kubo-sensei~
I used italic word to describe the thought of the characters or maybe it just some strong feeling of characters I want to put in to that word.
DRUNK
In Las Noches, Hueco Mundo, the usual meeting between Aizen-sama and the Espada was hold.
Aizen-sama ordered a drinking contest between the Espadas according Gin's request to have some fun.
The one who lost would spill in the beans his utmost shameless secret to Aizen-sama.
Grimmjow and Nnoitra took it as a good opportunity to challenge the Cuatro Espada.
Nnoitra wasn't once in the time called "The strongest Hierro Espada" for nothing. He could handle liquor well because his stomach was as hard as his skin.
Meanwhile, Grimmjow who already had a hole in his stomach also did well in holding the liquor so that others could only wonder where all of the liquor went anyway.
And they believed that Ulquiorra had never ever touched any kind of liquor before. So of course, they were sure that they could win this contest and put Ulquiorra to shame.
Ulquiorra at that time kept his thought to himself that this contest was meaningless and those who organized and participated in it were also meaningless.
Although he had never tasted something like liquor, he was sure it was just as bad as human soul.
Maybe it wasn't worse than Aizen-sama's tea which was the most distasteful thing that he had ever drunk.
In the drinking contest, Ulquiorra kept choking down all of purely made Tequila shots (about 10) with the amazement of other Espada audience.
Meanwhile, Nnoitra who was proud at his iron stomach before couldn't take anymore of 5 shots. His spoon was already bended down to the other side of his head.
Grimmjow wasn't got any better with 6 shots. He just kept on cursing about what kind of the sicky bastard that put cat nip into the drink.
In the end, it was only the showdown between Ulquiorra, the Cuatro Espada, and Starrk, the Primera Esapada.
Starrk was so amazing. He just drank and slept and then drank again without getting any drunk at all.
At the same rate, Ulquiorra's face also didn't change anything from color to his expression. He just looked bored while keep holding and drinking the next shot.
At the 12th shot, Starrk gave up because he felt sleepy now, so Ulquiorra won by default.
After everybody was dismissed, Ulquiorra took a bow to Aizen and left.
"So in the end, Ulquiorra didn't get drunk at all." Gin said with his utmost disappointment. Meanwhile, Aizen chuckled at him.
"You don't realize it huh, Gin?"
"Realize what?" Gin hissed his voice to ask the question.
"The way that Ulquiorra took didn't lead to his room." Aizen pointed his finger the the direction that Ulquiorra had left.
"Ah!" Gin's smirk became wider when he followed the sight of Aizen's pointing.
"It seemed that he was dead drunk so he didn't know any direction anymore. I wonder where he would end up tomorrow." Aizen smirked.
Lately in Orihime's cell, Orihime who was lying on the couch pretty much awoke. She still tossed about everything sleeplessly.
Suddenly she heard a crackle sound of something opening her cell's door and dropping down on the floor. She got up and walked toward to figure out what caused that.
Her room was usually dark, but the moonlight from the window was enough for her to confirm what thing collapsed in front of her cell's door.
It's Ulquiorra.
Why did he suddenly come to her room in the middle of night? (She totally ignored the fact that it was always night in Hueco Mundo)
And why did he collapse here? Did he get hurt anywhere?
"Ulquiorra!" Her voice yelled as loud as it could. "What's wr-" Before she could speak any more word, a pale hand covered her mouth up.
"Be quiet, woman! Or everybody will come here." Ulquiorra said with an odd emotion in his voice. It's not emotionless as usual. His voice seemed to have a little bit hastiness in it.
Orihime smelled the smell of liquor coming from his body.
"Ulquiorra. Don't tell me... Are you really drunk?"
Orihime held Ulquiorra up to the couch so that he could lie down comfortably.
"Hm... I guess I can't hide it from you." Although his face was still the same, but his eyes had already looked somewhere far away.
"If you're dead drunk like this, anyone would be able to tell right away." Orihime scold him aggressively. Her voice went a little bit louder.
"Like I said, be quiet, woman. We just had a drinking contest, and Aizen-sama said that I can go back if I won." This was not his usual monotone voice.
Orihime had never heard such soft voice like that ever came from his mouth although the words he said didn't have any bits softy in them.
"Drinking contest?" Orihime raised her eyebrows.
"I'm so ashamed. I had never thought that such human's liquor could affect my body heavily like that." He closed his eyes to resist the dizziness in his head.
But it didn't help at all. He was panting heavily. His eyelids felt really heavy.
Orihime believed that if his skin were in normal color, he would have turned green and gray with that kind of amount liquor.
She ran to her dining table to make a water glass for him to drink. She used one hand to hold him up while another to hold the glass near his mouth.
But Ulquiorra didn't drink any bit, he kept coughing.
"...Ulquiorra..."
What should she do?
In the middle of the night, she couldn't run out and call for any help right? She doubted if there would be anyone that could help her anyway.
She needed to remind herself that she was alone here in Hueco Mundo.
Although it was Ulquiorra who abducted her, he also the one who took care of her and kept her company all the time.
What should she do? Should she do it? She had no choice.
Because there was a person (was he considered as a person?) who was lying and almost dead by too much alcohol consuming here.
Consequence might come later. She would apologize to him later.
Orihime put all of the water from the glass into her mouth and kissed... no... transferred them to Ulquiorra's mouth. Ulquiorra whose eyes were still dizzy suddenly got back to normal state of shock due to her action.
Fortunately, the water finally got down to his throat. Orihime smiled of relief that he finally got his water.
She raised her head up and caught another strange gaze from Ulquiorra below her.
For some reasons that he looked pretty much human while he was in sober state. Reflecting by the moonlight, by looking from above, he looked mysteriously handsome.
Her heart suddenly skipped a beat.
His hand reached up to her head and pulled her closer to him.
"I want more..." His voice sounded so soft and gentle to her ear. He brought her lips to his.
Orihime was still in the state that she couldn't comprehend the situation.
Was he still drunk?
By the time she registered in her mind that he was kissing her, she closed her eyes and reluctantly accepted that.
Because it looked like that he wanted more water, so... But I couldn't drink it before I give to him and this feels so good...
The kiss took a few minutes, yet Orihime felt that it lasted for hours.
By the time they pulled away, Orihime was still panting and blushing. Her eyes kept locking and gazing on Ulquiorra's eyes below.
Then he suddenly blinked and sweated. He made some silent noise in his voice that Orihime couldn't hear.
His eyelids slowly closed and he fell asleep on the couch. His hand was still warping around her body.
He got himself drunk and then fell asleep during the kissing. What a strange man.
Orihime was surprised at his action and chuckled.
After she was satisfied enough to look at Ulquiorra's sleeping face, she got herself back to the current situation.
Her final concern was where she would sleep now because the only one couch in the room was occupied by Ulquiorra.
And she really didn't want to sleep on the hard floor at all.
But sleeping on Ulquiorra's chest was not really bad.
It was his fault anyway.
She wondered what his reaction would be for tomorrow. It would be fun to see right?
JinxJen's note:
Hope you enjoy the chapter as much as I do.
If you think Ulquiorra in this chapter was OCC then I can only blame on the drink.
I intent to make it a humour/crack fic, yet when I started to write it somehow turned into romance here.
If anybody would like to see the sequel of what would happen tomorrow when Ulquiorra woke up, just give me a review message that you want to know and I will take time to write about it. So for now, I will let it to your imagination.
