Hours pass, the party dies out and Selescte is left laying on the redhead- Enko's thighs. It seems they both had passed out from the party and.. More probably the wine they drank without authorization.

The redhead was awakened by two fairly tall men, one of which he recognized as his guardian that brought him here, and the other who must've been the host of the party from his light pink hair and formal blue clothing. Cold, glaring eyes saw right through what happened.

"I think it's time for you to be on your way, Enko-Kun." His guardian pressured onto him, clearly a bit upset at the situation.

"Aawwh! Can't I have a sleepover with my new friend? Please, Sir!" The redhead pleaded.


"-It would be fine with me I suppose, if he stayed overnight." The man with pink hair said, looking over to Enko's guardian, who smiled in a way that it would be too threatening to consider a grin, but too soft to consider it anything other than one.

"Thank you for your offer, but I'm afraid we'll be leaving now." He said with a dark smile appearing on his face, Considering the two men talking being the head of two separate, and very different organizations they obviously were.. Not on the best of terms.

"Enko-Kun. Now."
The boy followed the command, lifting Selescte's head off of his lap and tucking a pillow underneath it before standing up and heading out with his guardian.

Bright, glowering green eyes blink open. They look across the room fluidly-
Why am I in the living room? Did I fall asleep on the couch? And what is this light headache, it's irritating. Light still blinds his eyes, and he realizes that is the cause of the natural sunlight peeking through the large, normally curtained windows.

I sit myself up. The sky outside suggests it is midday. Shit. Didn't he have work to do today? He thinks as he sits fully up, blinking to fully adjust his eyes to the new lighting, and gazes towards his phone he was provided with.

Five new unread messages.
He realized that he is most definitely going to get scolded later, and panics while putting in his password. -He got it wrong.. He tries again, it's wrong.

' What is wrong with my phone?? I swear this is my password.. ' He thinks, putting in what he assumes to be the exact same password again and gets in. He quickly swipes over to his messages, 3 texts from "Boss", 1 text from a person who is named Enko wh he definitely does not remember adding into his contacts, and 1 text from an unknown number...
Oh yeah, he's screwed. He decides to answer the Enko person first, just for safety measures! (He doesn't want to know what Elias texted him.)

Enko at 9:32 AM
- Hey, you awake yet?

You at 10:47 AM
- Who is this?

Almost immediately, the person responds.

Enko at 10:47 AM
- LOL, You were that drunk??

- It's me, Enko! Y'know, the redhead you met last night during the party!

You at 10:48 AM
- Oh, I think I remember now.. How did you get my number? More importantly in my contacts list?...

Enko at 10:48 AM
- I swiped ur phone off ya while we were dancing! ^-^

You at 10:48 AM
- What?!?! How did you even guess my password?!

Enko at 10:49 AM

- Darling, it wasn't hard to guess by the numbers 1317 on the lockscreen. You really gotta fix that..

You at 10:49 AM
- I have amnesia, okay?!

Enko at 10:49 AM
- I can tell! You didn't even remember ME, I'm heartbroken!

You at 10:50 AM
- Okay but besides us meeting last night, who actually are you? You don't seem like the kind of person my boss would invite to a formal business party..

- Scratch that, you definitely aren't that type of person. Did you say drunk?! We were DRUNK?!

Enko at 10:51 AM
- Oh pleaase, it's not a big deal! You opened up more and got comfortable, thats really all that matters! And we had a blast.

You at 10:51 AM
- I'm underage, Enko! I can't drink, and neither can you- shit, my boss is gonna be pissed at me.

Enko at 10:51 AM
- Hey don't worry! I got that all handled already, so calm down hun. <3

You at 10:52 AM
- What?

He closed the messages with Enko, and went to check what his boss had sent him-

Holy. Crap.
He wasn't lying.

Boss at 7:21 AM
- I have permitted you today off as requested by a fellow ally to our organization, you may do what you please.
- You are not exactly off the hook for your behavior last night though. We will speak about that tomorrow.
- Take a good break, you will need it.

- We are extremely heavy with paperwork and business currently.

- I expect you to rise early tomorrow morning to help with it.

That's horrifying. But it's better than a ' ' come to my office now ' ' so he'll take it!

Just as he is about to put his phone down, he sees the extra message from an unknown number.


Unknown Contact at 6:11 AM
- Don't get too attached to Enko, it's for the better of you.

What? Who even is this..

He goes to respond, but he only gets a response saying
User ID could not be found, please try re-entering the number again.
.. what? It just texted him, how does that work? Can he not just it text back? That's stupid. He put his phone down and went up the stairs and down the hallway to his room so he could get changed, after all he had to be comfortable for the day ahead of him!
