Like We Used To (Bazz B - Bleach Fanfiction)

Chapter 9 : Happy Birthday

Bazz B's arm was around of her shoulders when they walked over to where Jugo is at. "Rin" Jugo said, not really expecting to see her "You came, oh my god, did you come over to keep an eye on us so that we don't find Bazz B a new girlfriend?"

Bazz B snorted "As if I'm interested in any women"

Jugo's eyes went wide for a moment "Are you saying that Rin's not a woman?"

"Fuck you" The short answer was enough to make the both of them laugh and as they entered the nightclub, Jugo didn't even have to do anything as they were led up to the second floor of the nightclub, to one of the VIP rooms. It wasn't as if they had actually came here for anything but Bazz B, for the past years, he'd had drown himself in a pool of liquor and bring a random girl home from the nightclub but now, he didn't need any of that now that he has her.

"Bo –" The waitress instantly cut herself off "Mister Black, would you like to have –"

He waved a hand in front of her face. They couldn't know that he owns most of the nightclubs that were in this town. Hell, he didn't even want Jugo, Francis and Toto to know about who he really is but Jugo does have a little heads up on what he works as and who he really is but the others shouldn't and wouldn't know, especially not Rin.

It didn't take all of them long to figure out that Rin couldn't drink any alcohol. She had only drank one sip from Bazz B's glass and her face had already turned apple red, her eyes blinking rapidly as the liquid burned down her throat. She swallowed it, and for the next few hours, she was leaning against Bazz B's chest, his arm around of her as she closed her eyes, trying to sleep it off.

"Hey, you okay?" She would recognize his voice anywhere. The guy that she loves, the one who she adores to no end. "You don't look so good" But she couldn't seem to put her finger where his voice was coming from. It was all just a quick blur to her as she tried to get a grip of herself, blinking rapidly and shaking her head. She was sure that she had drank from the same glass as Bazz B but why was she feeling like she was floating?

"Oi, Rin" His voice cut through her once more as his silhouette finally came to her. "Bazz" She reached her hands out for him "I don't feel so good, Bazz" He could see that from the small red dots that was making its way to her skin and her face was flushed red and hot to the touch. It wasn't before long when she was rushed to the hospital and when she finally regained consciousness, she was blinking at the three men who loomed above of her.

"Yo, she's awake" Toto nudged Jugo who was standing beside of him "Rin, are you feeling okay?"

"Wait, I'll go get the doctor" Francis disappeared through the door along together with Jugo. Toto stayed by her bed side, looking after her "Are you okay, Rin? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere? –" he cut his questions off "Why am I asking you questions like I'm the doctor myself" He shook his head

Rin blinked, sitting up from the bed as she looked around the room but there was no sign of Bazz B "What happened? How did I end up in here?"

Toto feigned surprised "I was meaning to ask you that. Why did you take a sip from Bazz B's glass when you know that you're allergic to alcohol"

She squinted her eyes in the light that was turned on in her room "What do you mean I'm allergic to alcohol?" To be fair, she hadn't even had a single taste of alcohol in her entire life before so how was she supposed to know that she's allergic to alcohol?

"Never mind about that but you almost died. You're only lucky Bazz B noticed the fever and sent you to the hospital" Toto sat down on the chair that was beside of her bed "Do you want me to call anyone for you?"

She should tell her brother where she was after not coming home for the entire night but then again, she was going to get an earful from him and he would demand to know who was the one who had told her to drink or even taste a single drop of alcohol. She shook her head "No, there isn't anyone that I should be calling"

As silence enveloped the both of them, they waited until the doctor came in to her room, a board in hand as Jugo and Francis followed behind of him, closing the door just as the doctor asked his first question "Do you know that you are allergic to alcohol?"

She shook her head "I didn't"

"You suffered from an allergic reaction after consuming alcohol but it's nothing serious seeing that you were sent to the hospital early but I would advise you to not consume any alcoholic products or any types of liquid that might contain a drop of alcohol in them" He ended his pep talk and moved out of the room, scribbling something down on his board as he left the room

Jugo shut the door after him, shaking his head at the doctor "What's the point for us to go look for him if all he's going to do is talk and then leave" He looked at Rin "But you're feeling better right now right? Do you need anything?"

"I'm good" Rin replied shortly, "Where's Bazz?"

"He went out to get your paper work done but – " He glanced down at his watch "Now that you're mentioning it, he's been gone for an entire hour now"

Rin blinked, leaning her head against her pillow "What time is it?"

"It's six in the morning" Francis sat down next to Toto, thumbing on his phone "We've been here for the entire night?!"

"Go home guys, get some rest. I'll write it off the book for today that all of us is taking a day off" Rin was as considerate as any and since they were more friends than co workers, there isn't really a reason for her to not give them a day off when they had accompanied her at the hospital for the entire night.

Jugo shook his head "Nope, Bazz B told us to stay here until he returns" He sat down on the floor "But in the meantime, I'll get some rest right here"

Rin smiled weakly at him. She had never felt this weak before in her entire life. This was the first time that she was feeling like her life was getting drained out from her despite her being awake and okay. She leaned herself down on her bed, taking a steady breath as she looked down at her own hand. It was still a little red but other than that, she was okay.

She didn't know what time it was but when she finally opened her eyes, it was already in the evening and Toto, Francis and Jugo wasn't in the room anymore. She moved her hand only to feel it being held by someone, she quickly looked over to the side of her bed, catching the sight of Bazz B asleep, his head placed on the side of her bed while his other hand held onto hers. His Mohawk had dropped, a sign that he hadn't went home at all.

She pushed herself up from the bed, sitting up, not wanting to wake him but at the very slight movements of the bed, he moved, pushing himself up as he saw her awake "Hey, you're awake princess" He stretched his arms, showing off his perfectly sculpted muscles

She smiled at him "Sorry I woke you up, rooster" It had became more of a pet name for him now, knowing that he still didn't like it when she called him that, she had fun seeing him a little ticked off about it

"We can leave now if you're okay" He stood up, his hands in his pockets "You feeling alright?"

Rin nodded her head "I am"

He moved his hand up, placing it against his neck as he rolled his head back. He was tired from staying here together with her for the entire morning but then again, he was the one who had gotten her in this mess. "Bazz" She called out to him, he turned, green eyes looking at her "I didn't get to say this yesterday but – " She paused as she scurried out of bed, standing on her tip toes as she kissed him softly on the lips "Happy birthday"

He smirked before opening the door of the hospital room.
