Chapter 10: Recollection
Akina jerked up from a bed that was unfamiliar to her. All she could remember was talking to Serah before.. Before what? Her memories just, stopped there.
Akina breathed fast as sweat once more coated the back of her neck and a small recollection of what her dream was. It was Toketsu. She had met who ever it was in her dream. She couldn't see the persons face other than the grin and a large chest she indeed remembered.
She placed her had flat on her forehead and calmed down her breathing. A door opened and in came Serah. Akina blinked in slight confusion. "Explain.." Akina demanded. Serah flinched.
"Well, I told you not to get drunk, and yet again you did. I couldn't just leave you there drunk to I took you here with me" Serah said trying to explain, but that wasn't what Akina was looking for.
"Tell me all that happened" Akina asked in a more serious tone. It looked like Serah was about to say something but she was interupted by the most annoying sound in the world. It wasn't an alarm, it wasn't a ring tone. It was the fire alarm. Akina watched as Serah reached up and pressed the reset button and rushed out of the room. Panicking, she followed her pink haired friend.
"Lighting I thought I told you to leave the pancake flipping to me" Serah said as they came into a kitchen with Lighting in an apron. This was something Akina would never have thought of.
Lighting turned to say something back but didn't say anything as she noticed Akina just behind her sister with a wide away expression. "Sorry Serah" Lighting said as she let Serah grab the pan and throw the pancakes into the sink and turned on the faucet, pouring cold water on it.
Serah sighed and turned to a plate full of pancakes. "You're free to have some. It's not like we get visitors everyday. Snow should be up in a bit" Serah said gesturing towards the plate of food. Hungrily, Akina helped herself. She couldn't help but notice Lightning staring at her, but every time she glanced at the older woman, she looked away with a small blush.
Confused, Akina walked into a small room that was just as big as the kitchen. Around a square white table in the middle of the room were four matching chairs. Akina chose one spot till she was joined by Lighting, and Serah.
"So.. Are you going to tell me or am I going to have to go through hell trying to remember?" Akina asked Serah, grasping both of the pink haired women's attention. Lighting quickly looked away, and Serah looked at her hands.
"Alright then.." Serah said, starting her story.
FLASHBACK~
"Are you sure you're engaged?" Asked Akina with her words slurring she had so many. This disturbed Serah. She knew eventually Akina would slow down, and when she did, it was strait to Serah's place.
"Last time I checked, yes" Serah said in a joking manner before Akina drew closer to the pink haired woman.
"That's a shame. You're really cute. I could have put you on my little spoon and eat you up" Akina said as she requested another from the bartender. Akina thought a moment. Hadn't the blond had enough to drink? She hated drunk Akina.
"Well what about your sister? She's some eye candy ya know. Why she got no hubby?" Akina said almost falling off her chair before receiving one more shot. The bartender refused any more orders from the blond after that.
"Lighting just isn't that kind of girl. She doesn't have time for guys. Well that her opinion. We think she needs someone" Serah said before Akina snagged her hand and pulled her away from the bar.
"I'm gonna go chat with her. You gotta come" The blond said drunkily. Serah tried to pry off the blonds grasp, but it was too strong for her and was slightly starting to hurt.
They walked for a few minuets till Akina stopped and turned around. Her face was still flushed with a deep red shade like a tomato. Akina released her grasp on Serah and stared at her.
"Where do you live?" Akina asked, almost not being able to pronounce her words right. This was the Akina that ended up sleeping with someone at the end of the night. The persistent side, not the drunk where she hardly looks it.
Serah sighed and took Akina's hand and dragged her in the other direction towards her place. It took them maybe a half hour and Akina was dragging her feet behind.
"Are we there yet?" Asked Akina before she turned into an ally to throw up what ever she ate, then rejoined her pink haired friend. Serah looked back with a slightly annoyed look.
"Yes, it's just over there" Serah said pointing to a nice apartment building. She felt Akina's hands push agains her back making her walk faster.
"We need to talk to Lighting" Akina said, repeating it three more times after a six second pause. It took another three minuets to get to the floor and the door. When Serah fumbled around for her keys, the door opened to Lighting.
"Sexy!" Akina shouted and ran other to Lighting, basically tackling her to the ground. Shocked Lighting stared at Akina who was now attached to her and turned to Serah who was also surprised.
"What the hell.." Lighting started, but was getting smothered by Akina. It took the two a while but they finally pried off Akina, and she calmed down.
"So what did you want to say to Lighting?" Serah asked as she sat on a white soft couch that Akina bounded up and down on. She blinked a moment before registering the question.
"Oh right" Akina said then turned to Lighting. "You need to take some time off of work and get your ass out there. There is no reason for you to be single! You're beautiful, attractive, you've even got the best fucking attitude!" Akina exclaimed with her last compliment slightly sarcastic. She took a moment before clearing her throat to continue more.
"If I where a guy I'd tap that" Akina said with a huge smirk on her flushed face and pointed at Lighting who had started blushing herself. She made Lighting speechless, as well as her younger sister.
Akina got close to Lightings face. So close that their lips where just centimeters away from each other.
