DO NOT FORGET, kozume kenma

t e n

possible trigger warning: illicit drugs.

You took the last drink before entering the establishment. Outside you couldn't hear the music that was playing, but just as you walked through the door to daisy, ashnikko invaded your ears. The place was dark, lit by a few blue and green lights. The bar was huge and was located at the back, in the middle was where most of the nearly three hundred people were concentrated and there were some small tables on the side. The smell of liquor and cigarettes was predominant in the place and there was a cloud of smoke there already.

You had hitched a ride with Koutaro once again, Kenma couldn't pick you up, according to him, he needed to take care of some things, but he would go tonight, as much as he didn't want to, it was almost obligatory. Your arm tangled with Saeko's as Yachi was with Kiyoko. You and the blonde hurried to go to the bar, Koutaro said you could drink without paying anything and for you, it was the best - and the worst - news of the night.

—Please don't make us run miles again. - Saeko said, downing a shot of tequila, you repeated her move.

—I'm not going to throw any drink in anyone's face, don't worry. - You laughed, asking for two more shots.

You and Saeko took more three shots in a row and you made Yachi take one, in other words, begged her to take it, but she only put it in her mouth when Kiyoko did it before her. Like the g6 started to play and Saeko didn't hesitate to drag you in the middle of everyone, dancing was not your thing, but you liked the music and the tequila was already taking effect in your body. You danced close to each other, attracting a few gazes, but you just ignored it. It only stopped when the song ended and Saeko dumped you to be with some random person she had seen. You went back to the bar, ordering a gin and tonic, leaned against the bar, waiting for the bartender to deliver it to you. 

You looked around the place, smiling to see Yachi and Kiyoko kissing in one corner and Saeko in another with a stranger. You sighed, thanking the man who handed you a nearly full glass, took a sip, tasting the gin more than anything else, just the way you liked it. As your friends had abandoned you to make out, you shrugged, deciding you were going to get drunk, for a change. Then you downed your glass of gin as fast as you could, looking at the bartender who was staring at you with wide eyes.

—Don't you think it's better to take it easy? - You rolled your eyes, seeing that the one speaking was the boy from the night before.

—Yamaguchi, right?- He nodded, with a friendly smile. - I want to get drunk as soon as possible, I'd say I'm too slow. - you answered him.

—I got it.- He laughed weakly. - So... I'll do something to keep you on point, but I won't be responsible later. - he said, climbing on top of the counter and jumping inside. You laughed, arching your eyebrows.

—And what would that be?

—You take a glass, logically.- he started to explain, picking up a bunch of stuff from under the counter and the shelves behind him. - First vodka up to a good part, some sparkling water and strawberry juice. - He said, mixing everything quickly, he poured almost half the glass full of vodka. - And that's it. - he said, you thought he was so cute with that sweet smile on his lips that it didn't even look like he was going to get you drunk now.

—Thank you very much, Yams. - You winked at him, smiling and taking a sip of your drink. 

At the first sips, you made a face, the vodka was certainly one of the strongest they had. The boy watched you, curious about your reactions, already almost in the middle of the glass, you didn't even care anymore, turning it as much as you could.
