Illumi

"Would you still hold love for your family if they mistreated you?"

That question started running through my mind, I mean I do love my family. I would do anything and everything for them, I know that already so why did this question strike another chord I didn't know I had? Is it how she worded it?

I felt her eyes on me and I looked over at her, I don't feel as drunk as I did a couple of minutes ago. I really hoped nothing would bring me back to sobriety but those men had to ruin my fun. I do still feel fuzzy all around and like my head is running around and around. But i am more aware of the things I do and say now.

My eyes turn to her and I'm met with that same look I saw when I first saw her.

"What?" I ask.

"Your eyes are really dark.." she noted. Oh no really?

"Yes, yes they are" I stare at her while she struggles to keep contact. She looked so uncomfortable it almost made me feel bad for her.

"Why are you smiling like that?" she asked me, I'm smiling? I immediately drop my smile and look straight ahead again. Well, I'm bored.

"Do you wanna drink with me?" I look over at her and she's almost done with her food. She stops eating and looks up at me.

"Aren't you already drunk enough, Illumi?" I nod but my point still stands, this girl is so boring.

"You think i'm boring? Well you're no fun either" she rolls her eyes making me want to pluck them out. "And what do you mean I'm boring?"

She heard me? She grabs my arm and starts walking. Did I anger her? Oh what fun.

"So is that a yes or no? I have some in the hotel I stayed in" I tell her and she stops to look at me with calming eyes.

"Sure, why not" she lets me take the lead and we make it to my room. As soon as she enters she grabs the alcohol and sits on the bed. I grab a bottle and pour some in a shot glass. I watch her closely. I have never had someone this close to me for this long without profiting from it.

Her face cringes as she hands me the glass bottle, I give her an odd look and take it.

"What?" Arisu asks me. I take a big drink and look at her, confused but I don't show it. "Why did you give me that look?" She looks away awkwardly.

"What are you talking about?" I ask her and take another swing, then handing it to her. She grabs it and looks at it, slightly twirling the bottle causing the liquid inside to stir.

"Yeah, nevermind" she gives me a small chuckle and I gave her another odd look. Does she usually act this weird? I wouldn't know. She gives me the bottle again and I take another drink, giving it back to her afterwards.

She gives me an odd look and I stare back at her. "So do you drink alcohol often?" She's still cringing at the alcohols bitter and hot after taste. I shake my head and watch as she shakes her head. "Really? Are you sure?"

I nod and take the bottle from her, she's taken 5 drinks so far. "I've been trained since a young age to put up with harsher things." I allow her to know. She slightly raises her eyebrows at me and I'm not surprised when I see no pity behind her eyes. Nobody ever feels pity for me, which is a good thing.

"So is that why you're so... emotionless?" She asks me and I slightly raise my eyebrow.

"... I mean, I suppose yeah?" I tell her, I mean I still have emotions but I just don't show them.

"Mm, well, I like your hair." She hiccups and giggles. Is she okay? I look down at my hair and comb it with my right hand.

"I do too." I'm caressing my hair and I look away, drinking my fair share. I felt the room start to spin and I looked over at Arisu who's eyes appeared red from the intoxication. Her hair, which was up in a bun, was now down. She had short hair, at least a little over shoulder length. She was also a brunette.
