Drinking Together (Ei, Yae Miko, Nilou and Jean!)

Ei: The archon of eternity doesn't usually drink alcohol, she saw it as a waste of time, it was completely unnecessary for eternity. But ever since Aether came into her life, she kept doing new things, trying new things and doing stuff that she thought were a waste of time before.

Drinking alcohol was one of these new things, this happened when she and Aether were already a couple, during their first months Ei still didn't know how to act with the boy, he was her first partner and she was still trying to figure out how she should act around him, they had already kissed but it was Aether who used to take the lead while she followed his lead. She felt comfortable with him, but she would like to be able to do more for him, she was afraid that at some point he would get tired of this and look for someone who would treat him like he did with her.

So, after consulting with the only person (kitsune) who can help her, we find ourselves in this situation that we are right now, where she and Aether are sitting at the table after dinner with a bottle of sake and some small glasses in front of them.

"Emmm Ei? Are you sure about this?" Asked a confused Aether, this was one of the few times that Ei asked him to do something together, but drink together? That seemed pretty out of character, especially for someone who never really cared about any type of alcoholic drinks.

"Of course, Miko told me that this would be a perfect activity to do as a couple" Said the archon completely serious, but now that Ei had mentioned the kitsune, Aether couldn't help but worry, nothing involving the guuji could end well for him and Ei "Here you go, from the label it seems to be quite sweet, but drink it in moderation"

The boy received the glass from the archon, he waited for her to drink it together, when she finished serving, she moved her glass in front of him, her eyes indicated that she wanted him to do the same, so he picked up his and held it towards her glass, Ei slowly clinked their two glasses with a little smile on her face, after this, they both brought their glasses to their lips and drank all at once.

Ei was right, the drink was very soft and sweet, Aether looked at his girlfriend who had a big smile on her face, it seemed that she liked the drink very much, she quickly took the two glasses and refilled them once again, he thought about stopping her, but she seemed quite happy, so he decided to join her with a couple more glasses, what's the worst that could happen?

*A little later*

It was definitely a bad idea, the archon was now sitting next to him with the bottle on her hand, her kimono was quite messy, her hair ornament was thrown on the table and even her hair was lose with the usual braid long gone.

"And i hate it, i absolutely hate it when she throws herself at you! Does she not understand that you're with me now? That fox... we'll have to do something with her before she wants to cross the line with you" Ei said, the drunk woman was much more talkative than usual.

"Ah errr yes, we should definitely do something" Not that Aether was much better off than Ei, either, but he definitely had less to drink than her and was somewhat self-aware of his actions.

"Right!?" She stopped to take a little drink from the bottle, Aether couldn't help but look at her, even in this state, she was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen, it was also quite interesting to see a side that he did not know about Ei, it also seemed that she didn't know this new side of herself "Hey Aether... why do you keep staring at me? It's embarrassing..."the archon said a little embarrassed, this was new for Aether, although Ei could usually be a little embarrassed, he had never seen it at this level, so influenced by his drunken state, he decided to push his girlfriend's buttons a little.

"Oh? Now I can't look at my beautiful girlfriend? Who would have thought that the archon of Inazuma would be embarrassed because I look at her" Aether laughed softly as Ei looked away, but suddenly Ei threw herself on top of him, nearly knocking them to the ground.
