Day 5 - Drunk

Summary: Is drunk even an excuse? (K+)

I open my eyes to see the clean white ceilings. The hospital. My head pounds and my whole body aches. Someone's voice brought me back. Or as I would rather say, disturbed my from my sleep. He was saying something about contusion and blood?

I wince a little as I turn my neck to search for the owner of the voice and there he was, sitting on a wooden chair beside my bed: Tenzin. He was staring ahead at a flower painting on the wall.

"...but I know you'll be alright.."he continued.

How long has he been there? And how long has he been talking? I might as well let him finish. I close my eyes, trying not to grin. It's been awhile since I pull prank. I'll just listen to whatever he has to say and then I'll scare him. Yes! Well, this isn't really a prank but I'm still invading someone else's privacy, aren't I? And try to scare him..

"You're lucky, Lin," Tenzin plopped down on a sofa in Lin's house. "With two siblings, I almost got no privacy in the house. My father and mother are always constantly knocking at my door or poking their heads in my room to find out what I'm doing."

Lin chuckled.

"That's pretty.. annoying you know?" Tenzin sighed.

"I know," Lin nodded in agreement. "And I'm not lucky," she said loudly,"my mother doesn't even have to poke her head in my room to find out what I'm doing."

Tenzin looked at her, eyes wide in realization. They both laughed.

Yup. Tenzin and I love our privacy but I'm still listening. "You've been out for 2 days and..."

2 days? I play the incident in my mind. I remember falling from a building and.. I was just chasing a robber without my armor and fell down from the window while trying to pin the robber down. I had called my officers so I think they got him.

"...you shouldn't chase an armed robber on your day off.. What about me? I need you. I'm so worried.."

Tenzin was.. sobbing? I open my eyelids. I don't know why but my eyes are teary too.

He is looking at his shoes and I see tears on his face. "Don't go please.. I'm.. I'm so scared I have nightmares. Please Lin, I love you.. I really really do.."

"Not so fast , Tenzin," I said. He looks at me, first shocked with his mouth wide, then he smiled, and soon after that, his face turned red. "I.. I.. Were you? I.. I was.." he cleared his throat,"-drunk. I didn't know what I was saying."

I sit up, my hands holding my head. He hugs me, "I'm glad you're fine."

"Yeah, thanks Tenzin," I said.

He sniffs.

"Tenzin?" I call. "You're such a terrible liar."

He released his hug. "I loove youuu," he slurs.

I blush. "I love youuuu," I slur back and clumsily grab his coat and landed my lips on his.

Thank you for reading. This is younger Linzin. Hope you enjoy! Tell me what you think! Bye for now.
