Chapter 19

I wake up to the sound of knocking on my door as I groan and roll over as I feel my head hang off the side of the bed. "GET UP" I hear a voice shout from the other side of the door obviously annoyed though I think it's just they aren't a morning person. "I'M BASICALLY UP" I shout back as I feel my eyes start shutting against my will. "Mhm five more minutes" I say as I start drifting back to sleep.

Before I get the sweet embrace of sleep I feel a flick on my forehead. "You said you were basically up" the voice I recognise as Niragi speaks as I just wave away his hand. "Ye well I was until you came in" I say my head still upside down on the side of the bed. "Right sure you were, hurry up we've got a meeting in ten" he says as I just sigh and pull myself up so I'm sitting in bed. "Thank you for waking me up you bitch" I say in a tired and scratchy voice as I just receive a chuckle in return.

I remember back to the night before and how I ended up staying awake with Kuina, Shiro and Mei far longer than I previously planned. I put the pieces together in my memory as I start getting ready for the meeting since it would look really bad if I was late to my first ever executive meeting. I go to grab some clean clothes but before I get to the wardrobe I see some cargo trousers and a proper jacket resting on the chair. I guess this is part of militant privileges. I pull it on as I let out a small laugh as I remember last nights antics clearly now.

-flashback-

After finishing Kuina's coffee we get a round of drinks to help Mei feel comfortable around us. A few drinks down Shiro starts trying to fight me even though he's basically lying on his chair at this point as Kuina can't stop laughing at him. Mei is comfortably sipping on a lighter drink but she's definitely a little tipsy now. She seems much happier around us now and isn't so cautious of me even though I still had a gun over my shoulder.  I decide not to drink anything alcoholic and instead find myself with another full cup of disgusting yet addicting coffee.

I'm almost sure there's no drugs in it but at this point I wouldn't be surprised and also fuck it. End of the world. Always on deaths door. At this point I could claim to be best friends with the grim reaper with the amount of near death experiences we've had. So why not take drugs to give us the extra high we need in this place. "Come on square up then" Shiro says and stutters on some words while trying to push himself up but ends up falling onto the floor.

I'm completely aware that we should be helping our friend but the sight was so funny the three of us just end up laughing. "I'm sorry Shiro do you need a hand" I say after a few moments consumed by laughter. This was the best I've felt since coming into this parallel Tokyo. It's almost as if the thought of the games have slipped from my mind. Sadly it still lingers and every little thing around the beach will bring up some slight memory of the games and the death. It's small enough to shrug it off temporarily though and still find a way to enjoy life.

We continue getting drinks as we soon find out what kind of drunk Shiro is. A blackout drunk. For the majority of the night he's been involved in the conversation so it's extremely noticeable when he drops out the current conversation. I look over and let out a laugh as I just see him sitting back in his chair with his head hanging on the back of the chair as he lets out a light snore. "Alright Kuina I think it's about time I drag this idiot to bed so he can sober up" I say as Kuina laughs when she notices Shiro.

"It was lovely to meet you Mei, we should definitely do this again" I say as Mei lets out a comfortable smile at me and a light laugh at Shiro. "Definitely, I'll see you tomorrow have a good sleep" she says as I say a quick bye to Kuina before getting up and pulling Shiro up. I find the walk back to his room difficult as I have to carry him the entire way since he obviously couldn't help. I eventually manage to get to his room as I let him drop into bed before going out and grabbing a bag to go by his bed just in case.
