~Scara's POV~

We sit on a bench at the campus, eating the instant ramen we bought from a 24/7 shop.

Summer is only starting to heat up the earth, so it's not very warm yet.

Few people are around the streets, and the ones who are, are probably returning from or going to the club.

I finish eating and take out a cigarette. Yes, I know, it's unhealthy. But it's a habit I couldn't cure yet. Keyword: yet.

Just as I want to light it up, I notice Heizou's green eyes glancing to me.

Oh, right. They don't like it when people smoke.

I put the cigarette away and lean back, looking to the dark sky, subtly searching for stars.

"Thank you." They say. I simply nod in response

Suddenly, I feel the need to say something.

"You know," I start, "I never would've thought that, well, you too have issues. I know, it's sounds very stupid, but you just seem so... carefree all the time. You do everything with that small but honest smile of yours. You joke, you flirt as if nothing ever bothers you. I... admire that."

I don't know why I said that. It just somehow escaped my mouth. Therefore, I don't dare look at him.

"Pfft—" Of course they'd laugh— "Sorry. Not personal. It's just that you're actually the first one who said that. I've heard a lot of stuff, 'I like your smile', 'I love your aesthetic', 'I love you'. But never 'I admire you'. It's... new. I like it. Thanks." He smiles at me softly.

Our faces are close. Too close. My brain suddenly starts to overheat, and I don't manage to grasp a single though. It's as if their eyes completely devour me, suck me in, and make my thought swirl like in a tornado.

The moment they said 'I love you' I suddenly wished for them to say that to me and only me. What am I even thinking?? What is this behaviour?? No way I just got jealous over a couple of words.

"Scara?" I jump slightly, looking at them. "Yeah?" A small smile paints their lips. Oh, how I wish to just— "Are you alright?" They ask me. "Uh, yeah, I'm fine. Just a fleeting thought, sorry."

"Okay, if you say so." They let out a small yawn, stretching themselves. "I'm so glad it's Saturday, or technically, Sunday, you know what I mean. I couldn't go to school in the morning."

I let out a small chuckle. "Yeah, I know what you mean. Me neither." Their yawn makes me yawn too.

"Should we go back to the dorms?" They suggest. I nod, shrugging. Or...
"Or should we hit the club?" I smirk at my idea.
"Hmm..." They contemplate. "Isn't it a bit late?"
"Sweetie, it's never too late."
They chuckle. About the nickname or the line, it doesn't matter. Their laugh is... one of the best things I've ever heard.

I stand up. "Come on, it's Saturday night, let's have some fun."

"Okay, okay, fine, I never said no." They stand up as well, and we make our way to the club.

~Heizou's POV~

Stepping in, we're met with an easy and upbeat atmosphere. Some people are drunk, most are dancing, and the school-famous DJ is blasting mood matching music out of the columns.

We carefully shove ourselves through the crowd to the bar. Even the best bartender, the one who never speaks, is here how lucky.

"One house special for me." I order, and Scara does the same. We lean on the counter, vibing to the music.

Getting our drinks, we take a sip. The alcohol slowly starts to hit, and I feel the warm substance rushing through my veins. It eases all my thoughts, the events from the day seem so far away.

I sigh in content. Yes, this is what I needed.

"Wanna go for a dance?" I ask. Scara looks at me confused, and I laugh at his adorable expression. "Come on, it'll be fun!"

"Fine, fine, I'm coming." We slide into the crowd, our bodies are moving with the music, fitting perfectly into the crowd.

Every now and then, we grab to our drinks. The orientation gets worse and worse with every drop, and place and time are losing their significance more and more with every minute.

It's hot on the dance floor, people are breathing, moving, sweating, everything mixes to one mass around us, and the only one I'm still able to recognise is Scara.

Who knows how long we've already been going like this, but at one point, we stumble out of the club.

My ears are ringing from the loud music, and the world is spinning. I hold onto the wall next to me to not fall over.

"You good bro?" Scara leans on the wall in front of me.
"Yeah, I'm all fine. Why, we're you worried?" I have to smirk.
"Stop spitting bullshit. It'd just be a pain to carry you back." He scoffs.
"So you'd carry me?"
"Don't be ridiculous, I'd drag you through the mud first."
"Oh, you wouldn't!" I gasp dramatically. "You love me, why would you~?"
"Shut up." He rolls his eyes.

The 'make me' slipped over my lips without me thinking first. "Oh fu—"

The next thing I know is my body being pressed against the wall and his lips on mine.

I sharply breathe in, shocked by his behaviour. Kiss him back, kiss him back. So I do, feverishly, because I don't think I can let go anytime soon.

His arms find their way around my waist, and my fingers dig into his hair, trying to push him even closer.

Fuck, he's good. How is the alcohol not affecting that..? I think I'm getting addicted.

As much as I wanted to continue that, humans need to breath so I slowly deattach my lips from his. But, my body is staying where it is.

We're both panting, trying to catch our breaths. I smile sightly at his messy hair. He leaves me just enough time to slow down my breath a bit before crashing his lips on mine again.

They don't linger there for too long. He kisses a trail down my neck, skipping my choker and further down to my collarbone. There, he bites down and a loud gasp escapes my lungs. I feel him smirking against my skin.

"S- Scara, stop, wait." He continues kissing my shoulder so I lightly smack his head. "Ow.."

"I said stop." I look in his eyes. He looks at me confused and a bit insecure. So... vulnerable. I lightly kiss his nose.

"Don't worry. I just wanted to propose to go to the dorms and continue there~" I chuckle at his adorable expression, my fingers still fiddeling with hair.

He nods slightly, letting out a breath. I already wanted to push myself from the wall to start walking, but Scara picked me up in a swift motion.

"Woah..!" I got a bit dizzy, so I put my arms around his neck. "Aren't you drunk too?"

He shakes his head. "I'm more sober than you at least. I still can carry you, don't worry." He starts walking, while I put my head in the crook of his neck.

As soon as we're at the dorm door, he puts me down to get his keys. He opens it and I stumble into my room and drag him behind me.

Just as the door closes, I'm the one pushing him against it this time. It steals a gasp from his lips and a whisper.
"Fuck, you're hot."
