The day after the drive with Diluc you looked up the nearest alcohol anonymous meeting. It seemed like there was one the same day. Looking up the address, it was only a few blocks down from your apartment which seemed convenient. After putting the address into your phone you placed it in your pocket and went on with your day.
A couple of hours had passed and it was time for you to go to the meeting. As much as you didn't want to go, this was for the best. After putting the address into maps you were in your way. Maybe you wouldn't have to go to a lot of these and would be magically cured, that's what you would of hoped for at least.
Eventually you made it to the building. It was conjoined with a couple of other rehab buildings but most of it was just meeting places for people recovering from addiction.
Taking a deep breath, you walked through the doors and found the room you were suppose to meet in. As you walked through the door there was a small circled formed in the middle of the half empty room. At the moment there was only a couple of people sitting there and talking to each other. Once they saw you they all stopped and gave you a small wave.
"Welcome!" Said the man with tan skin and blue hair. He sat with his arms stretched over two chairs. The person on the left of him was a short man who's feet just barely reached the ground. There was two braids with green tips framing the front of his face and on the right was a woman with long brown hair and a boisterous laugh. It looked like the blue haired man said something funny. "Come and sit!" You hesitated, but sat down on a chair across from the three people. "We don't bite, unless you'd want that." They way he said that made your stomach churn.
"I'm good." You stated, crossing your arms with a disgusted look on your face. If this is how the group was going to be, you were going to find a new place to go to.
"He's kidding." Said the brunette while jabbing her elbow into the tall man's side. "That's Kaeya, I apologize for him." She glared at Kaeya. "I'm Beidou and the short one over there is Venti." The short one gave another small wave towards you. Venti pulled out a small canister and drank it through a straw.
"I'm Y/N." You said with giving a strange look to Venti. What was he drinking?
"Kaeya! I think you'd like this!" Venti shoved the drink into Kaeyas mouth. He took a long sip and then had a surprised expression.
"Venti! What did we tell you about bringing alcohol! This is so we can get better, not worse." He snatched it out of Venti's hands. The short man yelled out in protest as Kaeya walked away and dumped it out in a nearby bathroom.
Beidou crossed her legs and sighed. "I guess we should get started. Lets go on ahead and talk about what we are all struggling with. Y/N, you go first and tell us about yourself and your addiction a little bit. We formed this group to try to help people, so we can see what we can do for you. If it makes you comfortable, we will all tell you ours as well." You nodded and started to speak.
"Well. As you all know. My name is Y/N." Kaeya walked back into the room and sat down. All of them listened very carefully. "I work at a really stressful place and I've been drinking to take the pressure off. Eventually it just became a daily thing. Whenever I had a bad day I would just drink, then it became natural. It was something I just couldn't stop. Good day? Drink. Bad day? Drink. Something I needed to congratulate? Drink. It's really become a problem and a close..." You paused for a moment. "A close friend of mine told me I should go get some help. So here I am."
"Thank you for sharing that with us." Said Venti. "For me, I just honestly like the taste of alcohol too much. Once I start drinking I don't stop until I finish the bottle, then I just crave more and I guess you know where that leads." Venti sinks into his seat from embarrassment. You could understand where he was coming from, sometimes you just lose track as well.
"Alright. Guess it's my turn." Says Kaeya as he flips his ponytail over to the side. "I'm going to be honest. I have depression, it's been something I've lived with for a while. Drinking just helps me forget everything, I become someone I wish I was when I drank. I am someone who is happy." Maybe that's something you were struggling with. What he was talking about seemed all to familiar with everything that you've been experiencing.
After Kaeya talked more about his addiction, Beidou was up next. She explained that she just really liked drinking and that she looses track of how many drinks she's actually had. Her problem is not the drinking, it's the fact she can't control how much she actually takes. After that, everyone talked for a little bit and left. Thought Kaeya stayed behind and chatted with you for a bit longer.
Before you would leave he pulled you aside. "Need something?" You said bluntly. At this point you just wanted to get home and watch T.V with your pet. Kaeya stood there for a moment and raised his arm behind his head, he had a shy smile on his face.
"I know this is kind of weird but..." He paused. "I was wondering if I was able to go get your number." That took you by surprise. After taking a better at him, he was quite cute. Cocky, but cute.
"Why the hell not." You handed him your phone for him to put his number in. He handed it back to you with a wide smile. "Text me." You shot him a wink. There was nothing wrong with flirting with him, it's not like you were in a relationship anyways.
