Walking into Angels Share you had made a direct b-line for the bar. Diluc of course, was there making some sort of drink. Does he ever take the day off? His eyes wandered to you and widened. You looked like utter shit. Your hair was a mess and there was dark circles under your eyes. As soon as you say down he waltzed over to get a good look at you.
"Wow." Is all he said. "Looks like you need a drink." You simply nodded. Almost as if we're magic, a drink appeared in front of you. It was nothing like any other drink you've saw before.
"What is this." You said while lifting up the glass to take a look at it. "Are you trying to poison me?" Diluc chuckled and shoot his head. He told you to just drink it. Trusting him, you gulped down the drink. The taste of some sort of fruit melted into your mouth. The liquor wasn't harsh at all, in fact it was smooth and it was bursting with flavor. Whatever Diluc made you, you wanted more. Slamming the drink down you smiled at him. "Can I have another?"
Diluc kept giving you drinks until it looked like you've had enough. The reason for that was because it looked like you've had a rough day. Normally he wouldn't condone getting drunk, but he knew that you were feeling good now.
By the time that you started to feel funny was when the bar was closed. Diluc kicked everyone out expect you. A couple minutes passed and he went around the counter and sat next to you. "What happened today Y/N." You tilted your head back and looked at the ceiling.
"I was at my job until 3:00 am, then was at work really early." You said while trying to remember what had happened. "Then! I didn't eat breakfast and then boom. I passed the fuck out at work and they sent me home." Diluc raised his hand up to pat your back but stopped himself, he felt like that would of been too much.
For the rest of the night the two of you talked even more. Diluc talked about his childhood a bit, he mentioned that his dad had died a while ago but it's still been really hard on him.
"I had a friend who died a while ago." You sighed. "She was a really nice girl but she got into the wrong crowd. We knew each other through mutual friends but." There was silence for a moment. "She got into some gang and died due to an accident. I remember seeing her face on the news and it still haunts me to this day." Finally Diluc put his hand on your back. "Do you know why I started to drink Diluc?" He shook his head. "Because it makes me forget all the bad things for a little bit. I don't know how I would handle myself if I just... Y'know... just kept it to myself." Diluc pitied you. He honestly just thought you liked the taste of alcohol just like his other friend.
"Would you like to go for a drive?" Your head perked up. "I'll take that as a yes." He outstretched his arm for you to grab. You gingerly grabbed it and hauled yourself up. The world wasn't spinning for once which shocked you a bit, but you also didn't have too many drinks with a high alcohol percentage in them as well. Diluc bent down and whispered in your ear. "Where would you like to go." You could feel your cheeks starting to go red.
"Anywhere, as long as it's with you." You blurted out. Curse this alcohol, it was making you more honest. This time it was Diluc's turn to turn red. His cheeks were dusted in a bright pink. Luckily drunk you never noticed.
"Okay Y/N." Is all he said while leading you out of the bar. After locking the door he directed you to his car. You held him arm tightly to your chest, almost cuddling it. Diluc ignored the feeling in his stomach and opened the door of his BMW for you. You slid into the seat and buckled yourself up. Diluc rushed to the other side and sat in his seat.
The two of you sat in the car listening to the radio as Diluc drove down the city streets. All of a sudden he spoke. "I know it might not be my place to say this but I think you need to get help with your drinking problem." Where was this coming from?
You stared at him and spoke softly. "What do you mean?" Diluc explained in great detail that you've came in there multiple times to just get drunk. It definitely was a problem and you knew that as well, it just took you to this long to finally realize. "You do make a point..." You whispered.
"I really think it would help you. As much as I love seeing you at the bar, I hate seeing you hurting yourself." You started to feel embarrassed, but also confused. You've only known each other for a month, why would he care about you this much? Though, he is your friend.
Glancing over at Diluc you saw him gripping the steering wheel. He seemed to be serious about this. "Okay." You finally caved in. "I'll go to a meeting." The way you two were talking almost seemed like he cared about you more than a friend but you would question him about that in the future.
You could admit that you liked him. Diluc clearly cared about you and you cared about him as well. He was nice to look at and he also seemed to like your presence as well. Sneaking another glance at him, you smiled. Maybe this is exactly what you needed.
Maybe life was going to start to get better for you. Just maybe.
