Touya watched the little floaty bubbles pop up, indicating that Shoto was typing. His heart skipped a beat, but after a while, they disappeared. There was no long explaining text saying why Shoto had been ignoring him for the last 2 days, and not even a 'K,' universinally known as the most annoying reply.

He groaned, face planting the bar counter.

"Still no answer?"

"Nope."

Jin puffed out his cheeks. "Better luck next time, I guess. He's never gonna reply."

Touya sighed. Since the whole Jin incident, everyone had just ignored his other voice, or whatever. Jin had also taken to wearing a paper bag over his head, because apparently being covered up made it hurt less, like his head wasn't about to split in two. He grumbled about it a lot though because he couldn't smoke with it on, and Touya kept stealing all his cigarettes.

As for the Shoto business, there had been this huge argument when he came home, finding his older brother who been imprisoned for six years. Fuyumi and Natsuo tried to explain it to him but he simply wasn't ready, so they didn't really sort things out all that much. Still, Shoto had promised not to tell Endeavor about him, because he would probably just send Touya back to jail without letting him explain himself.

Shoto at least let Touya have his number, but he never replied to any of his messages. Mainly because Touya spammed him a lot. He declined all calls too, which further pissed him off. Did he think he was too good for Touya or something?

"Little selfish brat," he grumbled, reaching for a beer bottle. Though somebody else snatched it before he could take it. He looked up lazily to see Sako with a disapproving expression on his face.

"What," Touya said, monotonous.

"I think you've reached your limit."

"I don't have limits."

"Well you're not having this bottle. You never drank that much while you were here, but ever since you went off to see your family you have practically never left the bar room. Not to mention Takami's absence has had you in a worse mood than normal."

"Fuck you," Touya slurred, raising his middle digit at the man. "Just 'cuz Keigo's gone that doesn't mean I can't be annoyed at people."

Sako raised an eyebrow as Touya stood up, wobbling slightly. He clutched his forehead and slumped back onto the barstool.

"Ugh, I feel like shit," he groaned, rubbing his eyes. His vision blurred out for a moment and he blinked rapidly to make all the colourful shapes and zigzags go away.

"Hey, if he wants to fuck himself up he can, it's no concern of yours," said a familiar raspy voice. Shimura had entered the room. Touya smirked.

"Heh, there's only one man I'd allow to fuck me up-"

"Oh, shut up already."

"Hey Touya-kun, would you kiss Keigo?" Toga asked inquisitively, smiling mischievously.

"I would fuck him," Touya said with a straight face. The blonde girl blushed and giggled at the answer.

"You know, you should do something to take your mind off him," Sako suggested, placing the bottle back on its shelf. "Go out somewhere, for example."

"I already did that a few days ago," Touya said with an eye roll.

Sako folded his arms. "How about Jin go with you then?"
