A life beyond insanity (Kaiman x reader)

12. Drunk...as if

I raised a brow, standing in front of a shoe store, "I hope this is the right place Kaiman"

Still shaky on his legs, the lizard guy nodded, "Yeah, that's the one. Where is that guy?"

"Guy?" I feared that he was still too drunk to even realize what he was on about, as cold breath from behind made me shudder. Looking over my shoulder, I jumped at the faceless figure. From his body languages, it seems to be interested in Kaiman, "Your back for more?" I answered for him, "Yeah, he needs the kick once in a while."

The figure nodded, "Well you better come in"

Expecting to get inside with ease became a major problem. The faceless figure demanded to get paid, either to fight or to bet. With being broke I had to ask Kaiman to pay up. He however, looked at me in disbelieve, "I don't have enough for the bets!" he checked his wallet, "I only got enough for us to fight." Yeah right, like I was going to do that. Patting his back I advised him to go on his own. That is until the figure got suspicious, "Is he drunk?!" I froze at this, "Him...drunk?"

"If that is the case, he cannot fight."

This is bad, really bad. I don't have what it takes to fight and Kaiman is filled up. I have no choice, pulling on the lizard guy's shirt down to my level, "Play along."

Before he knew I nudged his side, "He isn't drunk...he is just nervous. You know...new opponents and stuff." Kaiman tried to act all nervous, but was more like a sloth rocking from side to side. The figure looked at me, still suspicions. I smiled uncomfortable, "Everyone shows it differently. In his case, it is the lizard's way of being nervous." Like that faceless person would look up on that, allowing us to enter. The next problem didn't take long to come up, seeing all the stairs down to the venue. Holding Kaiman with one hand on his stomach and one at his back, I supported him down. A few time, he almost missed the step, pulling him back instantly. If a few stairs was already a difficult task on his own, how will he manage the fight without me?

Down there another figure, also without a face, handed us two pair of clothes.

I looked confused at this, "Why two? He is fighting not me."

The other one that led us the way down held Kaiman's wallet in its hands, "Since you entered you have to pay for yourself as well and since this guy doesn't have enough for bets, you two will have to fight."

"I don't want to fight!"

"That is your problem, I take the money anyway. You can get changed over there."

What a great start! And it is getting better and by that...I mean worse. Kaiman wasn't even capable of getting dressed by himself and there are no hanging rooms for women. Thankfully there wasn't much to get changed into, but the Lizard guy thought he had to do more than necessary.

"Keep your boxers on!"

The other opponents looked at us, smiling amused. This was humiliating! One of them, with a cat face, came over, "Hey Kaiman long time no see, ready to claim the first prize again?"

Not answering, he supported himself at the wall. The cat guy gave me a curious look, "Is Kaiman drunk?"

"Just nervous"

This made him laugh out loud, "Kaiman and nervous? Hahaha...Who knew?"

The rest of the guys mumbled of how weak we both look and how easy it will be to take us down. As much as I hate to admit it, they may have a point. While we have to wait for our numbers to come up, I gave my best to sober Kaiman up, slapping his face several times lightly. For him was this one hell of a nightmare, his head was spinning and the feeling to puke only got stronger. It took him a lot of self control not to let it out on me, who was adjusting his pants for the fight.

"Of all days you chose to get drunk now? Wait till I get my hands on Nikaido"

Kaiman couldn't comment it, still controlling his gut to burst. Not to be in sight of the other guys, I went behind the lizard guy, telling him to stand still. Since he was tall and well build, I had the perfect spot to get changed. The cat guy didn't seem to get the hint, coming over to Kaiman. He however, felt awfully sick now. Before the man could even say anything, Kaiman opened his mouth wide to let it all out. The cat man stood there surprised covered in puke. Showing up in my fighting outfit, the guy was already gone out the door, "Where is he off to now?"

Kaiman, who feels a lot better now, grinned wide, "He just got spat on."

"Ewww, I swear, some people have no manners."

He nodded, "You telling me."

His voice was getting better and even his body wasn't rocking anymore, "Are you feeling better Kaiman?" Giving me his hands to place the boxing gloves on, he smiled pleased, "A lot better. I am ready to beat the shit out of anyone" However, the joy was easily crushed, as the faceless figure came over to place a muzzle on his face. Kaiman sighted, "You got to be kidding me."

"Cheer up, you will manage" I assured him, in hope he will win the fight so I didn't have to lift a finger. Maybe I can find Nikaido without stepping into the ring. It is worth a shot.
