(Slight alcoholism)

-Kaiba's POV-

I sat in my Garden, just on the warm floor. I felt exhausted, i had finally returned to my normal form after my... arguements with esty and Meri. The sun pooled into my dark skin and heated up every part of my face, cooling myself down with a drink.

Normally i'd love to brag about how i would drink the most exquisite wines and different alcoholic beverages however to do so now would be a lie. I sighed taking another sip of my straight vodka and wincing slightly.

I was drinking just to drink, just to clear my head from all the negative thoughts. I needed a break, and turned to the only way i really knew

My head felt fuzzy and i felt almost distant from the world, however i still felt the the empty ache that clenched my heart and went from my throat to my stomach making me feel just awful.

"What the fuck do i do?.." i sighed, finishing the glass and placing it on the warm sun-kissed floor. I was already drunk sure, but not at my limit. I lazily stud up and made my way into the cool palace of my home and manoeuvred my drunken way into my kitchen. My garden had a bar sure, however most of it was just weak stuff you'll drink at a party just to not feel anxious

I poured another glass and make my way into the thrown room, the palace was cool and the walls echoed with an eery silence. Appearance wise it was purely normal yet knowing the events of the past few days everything just felt miserable

"Kaiba!!" A voice yelled filling my thoughts and spanning me out my trance. I jumped, accidentally knocking my glass against the corner of my thrown as it shattered in my hand "shit!" I gasped, dropping the shards of glass and analysing the floor then my scratched up hand. Nothing bad or deep, just a small cut tracing my palm from holding a shattering cup.

"Kaiba are you ok??" The voice continued, I looked up to make out the figure of Ashara. His eyes studying the small gash on my palm then the spillage on the floor "i'm fine" i laughed "just a small accident, nice of you to visit" i shook my hand and rested it normally by my side "seems i must've scared you" Ashara smiled back at me

"Well you can never be too prepared! Everything and anything seems to happen in camp oasis, can't risk an accident in the palace! Putting mothers reputation on the line" i shrugged, my eyes locked with Ashara as i studied him. He noticed my gaze and lightly raised an eyebrow with a smirk "you were gone for a while.." i mumbled, breaking the eye contact "Yeah, i'm sorry, just more errands needed for Shiva. It's all covered now however, i won't be leaving for a while" Ashara consoled me, rubbing the back on his neck slightly

"Well that's good! I hope it all went ok, are you alright?" I asked him with a genuine voice

-Ashara's POV-

I haven't seen kaiba in a few weeks due to my duties with Shiva, my first thing upon arrival back was to visit. The moment i entered his residence i could feel a strange era to it, almost as if Shiva was telling me something was wrong. And once seeing Kaiba, the feeling amplified. Something had happened while i was away but i couldn't quite read Kaiba properly. He was different, his aura wasn't reading any issues instead it was more slurred.

"Everything has been alright, it was an easy run" i answered honestly, easing his concern. It was nice Kaiba checked on me, he does it a lot, after errands for Shiva or a busy day if anything negative were to have happened there would always be a window of opportunity to talk about it with Kaiba. My thoughts caused me to smile, my face slightly feeling warmer despite the cool air in the palace "And since you're back that means i get to keep you all to myself!" He purred, stepping closer to me while avoiding the glass on the floor leaving it behind him as he kissed my cheek

As Kaiba's face lingered near to mine, i picked up on a similar yet foul smell. Alcohol, i personally wasn't much of a drinker, only having a glass during a special occasion or a party. It was a contrast to Kaiba, who just couldn't turn down an opportunity. Immediately my confusion to his slurred aura and his calmness to his falling glass cleared as a picture presented itself to me. "Kaiba have you been drinking?" I asked him, resting my hand comfortingly on his arm

"Hm? Just a little bit, nothing too bad. I was just boredddd" he replied calmly, his tail flicking in a circular motion has he almost yawned. Ballshit, i could practically smell the lies on him, however i wished the smell of lies would drown out the smell of alcohol. My attention flickered back to the shattered glass, i should've known something was up then infact, never known kaiba to be a water drinker. In fact I never knew Kaiba to be a vodka guy either.. there was enough spillage to indicate the glass was rather full however and for Kaiba to be drunk he had been going back for seconds.

He placed a hand by my chin and moved his hand gently over to his face and away from the spill, almost in an attempt to hide it "just a little bit yet you're going back for seconds?" I teased him as he scoffed "you've been gone for a week and the first thing you ask me is if i'm drunk? Priorities Asharaaaa" he rolled his eyes, with a joking tone however, dragging out my name at the end in a teasing manner. letting my teasing manner drop, "I'm just worried Kaiba, that is all." I told him, letting my arms rest just around his waste as he continued to cup my face.

He sighed, moving his hands down from my face to my forearms, resting his hands there and he moved his head to rest on my chest. We both recognised this, it was common whenever Kaiba felt down, he was someone who hated vulnerability and in doing so he had a habit of avoiding eye contact while talking. We first realised this during the Atlantic ball, the time when my perspective on Kaiba was finally confirmed. Kaiba however stayed silent, still persisting on not telling me the issue at hand

"It's fine" he eventually mumbled, making eye contact with me again "No kaiba, something is troubling you." I moved my hands to his hair as his tail sank. He groaned, finally giving into my persistence. "Etsili and Meri have.. walked out." He scoffed "walked out?" I asked confusedly

"They're both traitors! Ugh I feel so foolish, i've let it happen again, i've had to endure Etsili's betrayal and Meri's defiance!" He yelled annoyedly, however it was quite clear his annoyance was more of a defence for his hurt. My honest opinion? I had rather suspicious opinions on the both of them. Etsili was sly, something secretive and in-genuine followed them. Kaiba was one for a bit of mischief sure, however Etsili seemed to double Kaiba in one they were capable of.

And even though i would never tolerate and agree with Mors, he was right about Meri and Selma's more.. sensual intentions to serving Kaiba. "Can Etsili even walk out? You're mother seems.. strict. I don't think she would tolerate-" i began

"Etsili wasn't my sibling. By blood at least"

"It was a stupid joke we decided, Etsy was a friend for years, they wouldn't have been accepted into camp oasis normally so we decided to just have fun with it." Kaiba said, i hugged him tightly "i knew something was malicious about them." I sighed, he just smiled faintly.

Kaiba lay in his bed, knocking his curtain back and forth, clearly restless. "You alright?" I asked him, turning away from the hot sun. "Hm, could be better." He sat up looking at me. I walked over and sat down next to him, Kaiba leaning into me and rapping his arms around my neck. I sat with him while hugging him "mmmmm, i'm fucking exhaustedddd" he complained, resting into me
"I have no need for sleep, however if you wish, you can rest" i smiled down at him, he smiled back "k, cool, thanks!" He quickly laughed pulling me down with him as he rested on his back. I laughed as i pulled him closer kissing him lightly
