In the morning, everything is gone. I start to panic. I'm an idiot! I can't believe I feel for it, again! I can feel tears start to form in my eyes when Len walks in.
"Hey, Ri-" He looks at me. "Woah, are you okay?" He sits down next to me. I scoff, rubbing my eyes and standing up. "What are you talking about?"
"You were-"
"Where did you two go?" I'm rolling up the mat. He points outside and I scoff again, crawling outside. He follows me. All three of us stand in a circle. He asks me some for some cheap places we could stay, and I list a few when he holds up a bag of money.
We head into the city. Mayu keeps a hood draped over her head because of her multicolored hair, and Len has one but he keeps the hood down. I, however, have nothing to cover myself.
We go to the cheapest place in the village and rent a room. The teal-headed woman behind the counter is very nice and doesn't suspect anything. The room we get is small and uncomfortable.
Mayu disappears into the bathroom for a few minutes, leaving Len and I alone. He looks at me, but I look around the room. There is a small bed and a couch. I see a closet in the far right of the room.
"One of us will have to sleep on the floor." I point out. "I'll do it." I see him open his mouth to protest, but I move on quickly. I look at him and ask, "What are we going to do about money?"
"We should save it for necessities, like food and clothes." He looks at what I'm wearing. I scowl and say, "Why? We have enough for-"
"They could track us somehow."
"It'll be fine." I shrug. This is the first time I've actually had money. He shakes his head, starting a small fight. It's nothing big, nothing to get upset over. But when Mayu comes out of the bathroom, I tell them I'm going out for a walk.
Len frowns and objects, but I leave anyway. I head to the nearest tavern and sit at the bar, looking for a drink to numb my stress for a while. I ask the bartender for beer, and I drink it quickly. I've had about three before I start to feel slow.
I ask for another one and the man behind the counter gives me a worried look, but pours me another one anyway. I'm about halfway through the fourth one when I'm drunk. At that moment, Len walks through the front door. When he sees me, he doesn't look surprised, but relieved.
He walks up to me and sits down, then starts to vent."Rin! You worried me sick, I thought…" He pauses when he realizes I'm ignoring him. "Rin?" I look up from playing with the laces on my boot, and blink slowly. "Wha?"
"Oh, god, Rin! You're drunk aren't you?" He looks angry.
"Wha are ya talkin' about?" My words are slurred. He tries to glare at me, but he's got a small smile on his face. He picks me up and puts me over his shoulder, and leaves after paying the bartender. 'Hey, Len Len? Len!" I call, poking his back with my fingers. "Yes?"
"Len, I think you're really…" I pause, looking for the right word. "Sexy."
He's silent. I smile and yell, "And I love you!"
