Come on... Admit it.

Heyyy its been awhile since I've made a chapter to this story- I won't be able to do this often because of family issues but I didn't want you guys to keep waiting so... here!

Chapter 7: Come on... Admit it.

(Iguro's POV)

He kissed me. He did that... INFRONT of everyone. Did they see anything? I mean... The fireworks were too pretty to look away from so I highly doubt it. Though... I can't seem to take my mind off Tomioka. There's no way I just kissed him back... did I? "Oi! Iguro! Tomioka!" a certain someone called out.

It was Uzui, He was waving at us trying to get our attention. Tomioka held my hand tightly and headed towards Uzui. This... WHAT?! HE MUST'VE SEEN US!! "Oh? And you two are..." Uzui smirked mockingly at us, staring at our conjoined hands. I pulled away from Tomioka though... Hopefully he'll think it's a misunderstanding.

"Yes, Uzui?" I asked him curiously. He would do his flashy transformation thing... whatever the f*ck that is. "We're gonna drink! Wanna join? The others are coming too~" he said. I mean with my small figure, I don't think I'll be able to drink. I did drink before, but it really didn't end well. "Sure." said the tall figure beside me.

He then turned towards me, looking at me as if... He wanted me to come. I could drink but if I do something bad, it's not my fault. "Alright.." I agreed. It's not like I agreed because Tomioka's coming though...! "Great! We'll be at the bright place over there!" Uzui said, pointing at a normal restaurant. I assume there are meals there too.

(Timeskip to 15 minutes)

Both me and Tomioka would walk in the restaurant, it was filled with alot of people and bright lights. It also filled the place with aromatic scents. I looked around the surroundings and found the hashiras. Tomioka must've noticed too, as he stared at the same direction I was looking at.

We both headed towards them and sat beside them on the floor. Himejima and Tokito were talking about random stuff in the corner while eating food. Well... Tokito is a minor so he can't drink. I wonder why Himejima isn't drinking though. The others were completely drunk while Kochou was completely fine despite the fact she drank five cups of beer.

There were also two cups of beer waiting on the table for me and Tomioka, without hesitation I grabbed one and drank half of it. Honestly it didn't feel bad. I think I'm fine. I stared over to Kanroji and Kochou, they seemed to be getting along just fine. Well... I'm not sure if kissing each other's cheek is 'just fine'. I turned to Tomioka and I could see that his face was burning bright red.

Does alcohol really affect him that much...? Rengoku, Uzui and Shinazugawa were so drunk that they actually hurt themselves on accident- Hopefully Tomioka doesn't end up the same. Wait, am I worrying for him? Theres no way I- "Iguro..." Tomioka whispered, leaning in closer to my face.

What is happening, what is happening, what is happening, WHAT IS HAPPENING?! "Whats the matter, Tomioka?" I asked nervously. Hes inches away from my face... Tomioka then looked around timidly, as if he didn't want any of the hashiras to stare at us. "Tomioka-?" I called out to him in confusion.

He was so close to me that I could hear him breathing. I couldn't focus on anything else. Just then, I heard him mumble something. Something so quiet, that I couldn't hear him despite our distance. After that, he nuzzled against me... WHY...?! WHY?! I saw everyone stare at us with a blank expression.

Uzui then burst out in laughter, pointing at us, "HAHAHA!! He's drunk!!! The water hashira, Tomioka Giyuu actually fell drunk before you did!" he exclaimed. Turns out, hes more sensitive to alcohol than I am. I myself feel like I'm getting dizzy too... Tomioka just layed on my shoulder, drooling as he nuzzled his cheek against mine.

I'm fine, so now I'm just eating barbeque that was freshly cooked at the grill on the table. The others were just doing what they would do if they're drunk. Before I took another bite of meat, Tomioka grabbed me. He then carried me.... (bridal style) WHAT THE HELL DOES HE THINK HES DOIN- "Let's go...~" Tomioka hummed happily.

"What?! Tomioka where are we going?!" I yelled at him, trying to pull away from his strong grip on me. I looked back to the others, hoping they would help me but Uzui and Rengoku just waved 'bye' at me, smiling happily. "Tomioka-!!! C'mon dude let go of me!" I exclaimed, I still struggled to pull away but he already went in the bathroom.

He then dropped me on the floor, but I let out my hand and held the ground. Just as I got up and balanced myself, Tomioka wall slammed me. I was raging with anger, especially because we could be wasting time and I won't be home early to feed Kaburamaru... Just then, I shoved him away and tried to hold his shoulders. I can tell he's also losing his balance, he looks so drunk...

"You know what, let's just go back to your place... You gotta sobber up." I whispered.
Tomioka pulled away from my arms and held my wrists tightly. Now I'm starting to get confused... Is he always like this when hes drunk? "Obanai... Say it already..." Tomioka whispered, leaning closer against my cheek. I can feel myself getting red...

PLEASE tell me this isn't happening to me. "Hah? Say what exactly...?" I asked. Tomioka then gave me a blank expression with a light smirk. "I know you have feelings for me..." Tomioka whispered. What? Did he really just say that? Is he really assuming my feelings? Or is he correct..? I myself am not sure... "Come on... Admit it." he mischievously smiled.

I pulled away from his grip and pushed him, giving us a distance as I was lost for words. Is this really happening..? I thought about it but maybe I really do have feelings for him. This is all escalating too fast...! He's drunk so he'll definitely forget about all this when hes sobber. Right...? "Well... I guess I do like you... O-only a bit though! Don't get the wrong idea..." I admitted nervously.

Tomioka smirked, letting out a sigh of relief and pulling me into his arms. I blushed too much... This is embarrassing, at least I was honest... Tomioka then took off my mask slowly and gave me a light peck on the lips. I shook in embarrassment, turning my face the other way closing my eyes, trying to avoid Tomioka's lips.

Theres no way... I can feel myself blushing as red a tomato right now, especially the fact that our lips are inches away from each others. "T-Tomioka... Let's not-" He kissed me again, just deeper this time. I can feel myself getting weak to my knees. Just when I wrapped my arms around his neck, he fell asleep on my shoulder.

I decided that it was enough for the day. So much happened... I'll just take him to his estate and let him rest there. I held Tomioka with my arms, exiting the place as I headed over to his estate.

(this might be the only time i make a chapter this month- who knows? maybe ill make another chapter!)
