dieciseis

i took a moment to collect myself as i sat in the drivers seat, knowing i was somewhat drunk since i didnt feel the full effect of my bruised torso

my breathing was heavy from carrying the two as i started the car, really thinking about what takemichi was sobbing about, finding the stories odd

his friends dying was one thing but time travel? it sounded insane.

being kidnapped by a gang your old friend and ex are running didnt sound any better though.

i was about to pull out of the parking lot before realizing i didnt have takemichis address, my body turning to try and wake him up as he turned on his side, his phone sliding out of his pocket

just peachy . . .

i sighed, grabbing the device and turning it on, being met with a lockscreen

i hoped the fingerprint feature was active as i grabbed one of his hands and pressed his thumb on the glass, watching the homscreen slide up and expose all his apps, feeling a bit invasive

i looked until i found google maps, seeing if he had his address anywhere as an incoming call popped up at the top of the screen

"naoto tachibana"

was this who he was talking about?

i stared at the answer and decline buttons, not wanting to answer it as i tried muting the ringtone out of annoynce, hearing someones voice talking from the other line

of course i pressed answer...

"you need to come over here quick, ive got more info" a rushed voice said once i brought the phone up to my ear, completely confused

"uhm, hello?"

"what- who is this?" he questioned without hesitation, my eyes glancing towards a passed out and dead-looking takemichi as i rubbed my neck

"im uh one of takemichis friends.? i was trying to get his address and accidently answered your call..." i turned my body again, attempting to wake the man up

god this shit was awkward...

"ah alright.
wait, where is he???" he asked, his voice concerned as i gave up trying to wake takemichi up, adjusting the phone while i spoke

"hes right here, hes just uh...passed out drunk." i said honestly, the phone going silent before a sigh left the otherside, his frustration apparent

"gods sake...get him home then, ill give you his address." his tone was disappointed as i felt a wave of relief

"thank you, ill get him there safe" was all i got to say before the call ended, a ding coming from the phone immediately after

ugh.

i drove in front an old looking apartment complex, parking somewhat close to the building before getting out of the vehicle and opening the back door

i huffed, pulling takemichi out by his legs before picking him up, carrying him like i did kazutora as i made my way up the stairs, straining every muscle in my legs

"im never drinking with them again..." i mumbled to myself, reading the apartment numbers as i got closer and closer to the right one, attempting to twist the knob once i was there

it just so happened to be locked . . .

i felt like throwing myself off the building as i bent down, carefully setting the man by the door

my back practically screamed as my hands searched the first of many pockets, finding his house keys after what felt like ages

i stood up straight and slid the key into the lock, my face contorting in disgust as a mixture of smells hit my nose, one hand going over my face while the other searched for the light switch
