"...Do you think you'll gain anything by trying to keep me away?""...Does it matter?"
"Yes, it does, Envy."
"...Why does it matter to you?"
"...Because you and I are one and the same. Are we not?"
"..." He averts his gaze even further from her own, turning his head away from her.
"....See? You can't deny it anymore~ You know it's true... then, now and forevermore~"
"..."
"...Hmm~ how about this... We keep drinking until one of us can't go on anymore and when that happens, the winner gets one wish granted by the loser~"
"...I refuse."
"Are you backing out of a fight~?"
He turns his head to her, clearly not happy as he glares at her.
"...What was that?"
"I know you won't hurt me, Envy. Your chance of getting back to your world would be gone if you did and all I'd have to do is tell on you~" she thinks to herself as she returns the look.
"...I said... are you backing out of a fight~?"
"...I should kill you."
He says before sighing and chugging his drink.
"Ooh~ someone's growing impacient~!"
Several minutes later, and the two have finished the bottle, not too drunk, but not too sober either... so, naturally, just like any other drunkard, Lamy takes the bottles that are left in the unmanned bar.
A bottle of whiskey and one of vodka. Pretty good, no?
"Hehe~ This'll shake us up a little~" her ahoge dances just a bit, bobbing up and down for a moment.
"..." Envy stares at her as she fiddles with the bottles, pouring the alcohol into the glasses.
"Kampai~!" She says as she lifts her glass up for a toast with him, though he doesn't return it in the least. Instead, he just keeps drinking.
They're both now at five shots of whiskey and the bottle is nearly empty.
Lamy is doing well, while Envy is almost drunk already.
"...How are you..."
"Tolerance, sweetie~!"
"...Right."
They keep drinking, reaching the bottle of vodka, but by this point in time, Envy is hardly capable of looking straight.
"...Damn you..."
"Teehee~ This is what you get for playing my game~"
"..." He just slumps over, letting his head rest against his forearm on the wooden bar.
"...Hmm~ Do you give up~?"
"..."
"There's nothing wrong with giving up~"
"...There's a lot of things wrong with losing against you..."
"Ouch, hurtful, but I take it then that you're admitting that you've lost~?"
"...Damn you."
"You already said that once, Envy."
"...fine." he regretfully sulks.
"Yay~! Well, in that case, let's go to my room~"
"..." He raises his head sluggishly before turning it to look at her, confusion obvious on his face which earns a hearty giggle out her Lamy.
"I don't mean to do anything weird, don't worry~"
"...Alright."
"Well, what are you waiting for? Come on, let's go!" She quickly gets off her stool, skipping away happily.
Envy follows soon after, yet you can tell with ease that he isn't nearly as energetic as Lamy.
A short walk later and the two find themselves in front of Hololive HQ yet again. They walk in, only to bump into THE Shishiro Botan.
"Hello, Botan~"
"Hey hey, what're you doing here? And who's this?" She points with her thumb to Envy as she raises her eyebrows questioningly.
"Oh, him? He's a friend of mine~ his name's Envy. We were going to my room just now to have some fun~
"...huh?"
"...you're getting it wrong." Envy says as Botan looks at Lamy, tilting her head before looking to him.
"...Hehe~"
"Why don't you come with us, Botan~?"
"I'd be interrupting, but I wouldn't mind as long as it's with you, Lamy~" Botan teases, trying her best to not fall into the suggestiveness of Lamys words.
"It's not like that." Envy chimes in to reassure the lion girl.
"...He's right, Botan~ There's nothing weird going on~ I just wanted to show him some flowers of mine~"
"Oh... aww... Well, maybe I will come with."
"I'd love you to~ I know Envy doesn't mind either~"
"...Whatever."
"Okay, then let's go." She starts to walk back, motioning with her hand for them to follow.
A little over a minute and the three musketeers have reached their destination, Lamys room. Stepping inside, it's the same as a traditional Japanese styled room. A tatami mat, a kotatsu and, most importantly, a tiny flowerbed on the window, small milky white flowers growing in it.
