Alcohol Spills [BYAKUYA TOGAMI X READER]

14

"Am I selfish for hating my game so much?"

My heart leaps out my chest when someone knocks on my dorm room door. My thoughts and anxieties have been heightened since Byakuya's confrontation.

I switch the light on and readjust my eyes to the light. The knocking becomes more frantic.

"Ugh I'm coming-!"

I swing open the door. I feel my heartbeat rise up my body. The stress I feel makes me want to puke. I immediately shut the door in her face and slide down the door, sitting down. My face has definitely dulled but why does she stress me out so much? She's weak and meek she can't do anything... Or is it syo? Why am I so scared? I shouldve seen it coming!

The frantic banging continues.

But I gasp as I lift my head up from the covers.

"[Y/N] WAKE UP!"

That doesnt sound like Fukawa. Was that all just...? Nevermind, it was probably just not real.

The banging get even louder.

I groan as I get up from the bed.

I swing open the door

"Togami what do you want?"

He eyes me up and down before speaking.

"For a mastermind you sure are sloppy."

"SHUT UP."

I say through strained teeth.

"And also that's what she said."

He tsks and crosses his arms.

"Youre needed in the cafeteria. Morning meetings are back and Taka is more pissed and depressed than ever so you NEED to be on time. Shouldn't you be up working hard for this whole game anyways, bartender?"

"No, Monokuma can handle it. Anyways you can go back to the cafeteria, I'll be there in a few minutes."

"I'm expected to return with you."

"So?"

"So just come with me now"

"I need to get changed idiot."

"Fine, then ill wait out here."

"Won't you be bored?"

"If you're trying to fish for me to ask if I can wait in your room you're really bad at this"

"Why? Do you think I have some sort of crush on you? Or do you just fantasise about it?"

"Don't be absurd bartender. That is preposterous."

"Fine then wait here. I'll be out in 10 minutes."

I shut the door.

He mutters from behind the door
"Hurry."

As i get dressed, monokuma pops up in front of me.

"What do you want?"

"Loverboy in the cafeteria is pouting due to the last case."

"Who? Ishimaru?"

"Damn girl you really are switched off with this game. Why carry it on?"

"Well what am I going to do? Cancel it and tell everyone 'oh it's me who set this all up by the way!' It's a dumb idea."

"(Y/N), I see you're not happy. Why cause all this despair."

"Buzz off fuzzball"

I push the bear and he disappears.

I open the door and see Byakuya stagger slightly then compose himself as if nothing happened.

"Were you eavesdropping?"

He's silent and contemplating.

"No."

"Liar, I can go back on the security cameras and check you know."

"Just shut up, we need to go to the cafeteria."

I walk behind Byakuya as we make it to the cafeteria.

Toko glares at us, her expression neutral but I just know she has that inner turmoil.

The ultimate moral compass looks furious as he stares at me.

"Miss (L/N)! Explain your tardiness immediately"

"Miss (L/N) was still enjoying bedtime but she's here now." Says the blonde for me.

He sits on his lone corner table and I sit on the main table, slightly distanced from everyone else.

While Ishimaru talks about friendship and staying together or something, Byakuya stares at me as well as glancing at the empty seat beside him. Does he just want me there so I can protect him or something? Probably. But it would be awkward if I just got up and moved now. It would also make me look like a pick me and I'd rather avoid that. Also I'd rather not get on Syos bad side.

His glances turn more intense and affirming. I reluctantly get up and sulk over to him.

"If you're going to look so miserable I would say you aren't really as capable as I thought"
He whispers

"I don't know what you want from me. Just shut up."

"Ah ah, behave. I have your secret looming over your shoulder bartender."

"Don't think that just because you have some knowledge, doesn't mean you have complete control over me. In an instant I could have your-"

I nearly let it slip.

"Your- your-"

"You cant do anything"
He mocks.

Thank God he didn't hold me to that sentence.

"MR TOGAMI AND MISS (Y/N), HAVE YOU EVEN BEEN LISTENING TO ME OR HAVE YOU JUST BEEN FLIRTING. I WANT TO AVOID ANY MORE DEATHS AT THIS SCHOOL. DO YOU WANT TO LOSE EACH OTHER?"

"I don't necessarily want to lose this one. She's sort of important."

He didn't say it flirtatiously. But of course everyone's reactions were baffled even I was baffled. Why on earth would he word it like that??

"Ugh you peons, don't take it the wrong way. She's useful to me. So I don't care about what happens to the rest of you. I suppose this meeting has been a very unimportant and unproductive one and I will be taking my leave. (Y/n), after me."

"I'm not your dog"

Celeste chuckles.

"Finally you have some bark back. I honestly thought you mightve lost your bite (y/n). Dont let him control you."

Byakuya glares at my defiance. I give him an indifferent look.

He turns back around and leaves the cafeteria, making a scene of himself.
