Abroad. ~ Katsuki Bakugo

Chapter 18

Sunday, usually a boring day for Evelyn. She spends her Sundays in bed mostly, but for today she had something planned. Her friend Sam invited her to play poker and drink. Luckily tomorrow the classes were cancelled, due to staff shortage. No school meant that she didn't have a curfew to be home.

Today she also slept in, enjoying the warmth of her bed. Evelyn had plenty of time, they would meet at 8pm and probably play poker till around 2am. 

The black haired girl was watching TikTok for several hours. "Katsuki, what have you planned today?" The girl was trying to build a conversation with the occupied boy, and he answered the girl without looking up from the book, "Not much. Just studying. What about you?" "I will meet some friends later and we're gonna play poker." "With money?" "Yeah kind of. You can bet money, but it is not necessary. But we will drink." "He looked at her surprised, "Well have fun then I guess. And don't get to drunk, I don't wanna deal with that in the middle of the night." "Yeah yeah. Don't worry." 

Evelyn put her laziness aside and decided to get ready. First she looked for an outfit. She picked a black pleated skirt, a white turtleneck, black over knee boots and for jewellery the girl selected a silver necklace, a few rings along with hoops. She curled her hair and tied two stands together with a black bow. 

Now she did her make up. "Katsuki, could you help me with the liner. I am not capable of drawing a clean line right now." The boy rolled his eyes but complied. After he was done, the girl checked it in the mirror with awe. "Wow, that looks awesome. I should ask you more often." She acknowledged with delight. 

The time was 7pm and the girl needed to get going. She checked herself in the mirror for the last time and grabbed her purse. The boy stopped her, eyeing her outfit, blushing a bit. She looked beautiful in it, he believed. "How do you get there? Should I bring you?" "I have to walk, and sure if you want to. But the walk is 45 minutes." "Yes no problem." 

Eventually they were walking, Katsuki carrying her purse. He decided to kind of interrogate her, "So do you guys play poker often?" "Not really. When we were younger we did, but nowadays, we rarely have time to meet up." "And these friends, they are not from school, right?" "Nope, we met due to coincidence and became like a small friend group." She explained, amused by Katsukis questions. "So how much people are you gonna be?" "Uhm let me count for a second," the girl mumbled starting to list her friends, "Sam, Cheng, and his boyfriend Felix plus someone else. Sam mentioned that a friend of them would come too. But I don't know them."

Even through she seemed like an extroverted person, she indeed did not like meeting new people. However, she knew that Sam wouldn't invite creepy people, or at least she hoped so. 

"Thank you for bringing me!" The girl hugged Katsuki wildly and both said their goodbyes. She entered the dimly lighted entry area. Her blue haired friend greeted her and both went into the living room. The table was already set up with playing cards and jetons in addition to some bottles of whisky and vodka, as well as some energy drinks. As snacks, there were pretzels and crisps. Evelyn took a seat and Sam, the blue haired individual, poured energy and vodka in a glass for the girl. "You're early, the others will arrive a bit late tho." They pouted jokingly. "Yeah okay. You know, I am never sure in which eye of yours I should make eye contact with." The girl admitted, which made them laugh. His three eyes twitched and tears of amusement rolled down his cheeks.

Now everyone was sitting on the table. Cheng, a short black haired boy and his boyfriend Felix, who was the polar opposite of him. Also, the stranger turned out to be a smaller chubby girl. She had long red hair and green eyes. Damn, she is pretty, Evelyn thought while glancing at the girl In front of her. "Hi, I am Alice." The girl introduced herself briefly.

The first rounds of poker went great for the black haired girl. It seemed that she was on a roll. But her winning streak ended when Cheng won, she lost half of the money she earned and had to drink a whiskey shot. She scrunched up her face because of the whiskeys strong taste. A burning sensation was left in her throat. The girl lost more and more rounds, which also meant getting more drunk. "Oh god, I think I feel dizzy." The girl muttered, looking with in Sam's direction. They were laying on the couch together with Alice. Evelyn's vision was blurred. "Alright, I think that is enough for today, alright." Felix said, as the oldest and the one being not even remotely drunk. The helped the girl, who was struggling with walking. "Okay, you won't go home alone. Do you have someone I can call?" The girl giggled at his question, not taking him seriously. "I don't know, just call somebody. I gotta pee, see ya!" The girl went on her way to the toilet, but not without bumping several walls and furniture. She tripped over her own feet, which made her fall onto a plastic bucket. "Are you okay?" The tall blonde rushed to her concerned. "Yeah I am fine, but your bucket isn't." She grinned, not caring for the fuss she is creating. "It's just a bucket. I will clean the bits later, but let's call someone to pick you up now." 

Unfortunately for Katsuki, his ringing phone disturbed his peace. "Ah, this girl." he muttered annoyed, getting on his was to pick her up. Arriving there, he was greeted by Evelyn. She joyfully waved him, even through he wasn't even a metre away from her. "Oh shorty." He muttered, taking her purse and holding her tight, to make sure that she doesn't stumble. 

"Why are you limping?" Katsuki scanned her body for any injuries and just noticed some blood running down the back of her leg. The girl didn't even seem to register that she was injured. When he checked, he saw that she had a small plastic shard stuck in her leg. It wasn't too bad, but it must hurt. "I will take care of that later." He lifted her up, deciding it would be faster to just carry the girl. Meanwhile, she was pestering him with all kinds of questions and rambling about the most random topics.

Arriving home, they went into the bathroom and the blonde gathered everything to treat it. He kneeled behind her, carefully cleaning the wound. "Could you lift your skirt a bit." "Oh so you are one of those guys~ haha~" teased, and before he could explain himself she cut him off giggling, "But seems like that isn't possible. You know why? Yes because I wear shorts underneath!" She answered her own question and the boy regretted picking her up. "Man, you are annoying when you're drunk." He remarked. "I am not sure if we should pull that shard. We should go to the hospital, maybe." "Why, just pull it, like that." The girl pulled the shard with ease, the alcohol suppressing the pain. "Oh fuck, Evelyn!" The boy exclaimed, stopping the bleeding with a sterile gauze dressing pad. Then he applied a tourniquet to stop the bleeding. "That must be fine for now. Tomorrow we will let a doctor check that." 

"We're going to bed now." He decided for the both of them, but Evelyn protested. "I am not going to bed with makeup on!" She messily tried to remove her makeup. "Let me help you, shorty." He gently took her face and removed the rest of the cosmetics from the girl's face. 
Finally, the girl was sleeping sound in her bed and Katsuki also got to rest.
