Aticm and Korosu

Chapter 15

~Korosu~
I woke up with a second heart in my head. The window pane was spotted with blood, and I smelled of alcohol. I stood up, and felt like everything around me was spinning, like I was in the center of a top. Yep, I was pretty drunk. I stumbled into the bathroom, and cleaned off my bloody skin. After I got out of the shower, I got dressed in some loose jeans and a hoodie. Looking at the clock, I saw that it was 12:46. Guess I slept for longer than intended. My vision was a bit blurry, and I couldn't walk straight. Next thing I knew, I was on the bathroom floor, my head in the toilet. I rarely got sick when I had a hangover, yet this time my ability to hold my liquor decided to bail on me. Once my stomach was empty of the alcohol, I brushed my teeth and looked in the mirror. I look like shit. My hair was wet and messy, and I had bags beneath my eyes. God damn... after I washed my face, I made my way to my room. Leaning on the wall, I fell back onto my bed. Staying in bed for an hour or so seems like the best option. My phone went off, and it was Ashton.
"Hey Korosu."
I smiled, and replied.
"Hi."
"You busy? Haven't heard from you all morning."
"Not really. I was sleeping."
"Killing?"
No, I was drunk and had a hangover.
"Yeah."
I hate lying, but I don't want to worry him.
"Do you want to do something with me today?"
"Sure."
I put some makeup on while he responded.
"Okay! See you my place around 1:30?"
"Okay."
I fixed my messy hair and put some concealer over my wrists. I looked a bit messy, but I was drunk, so it doesn't matter. After I made myself look decent enough, I began walking towards his house. I realized about halfway down the road that my phone was still in the bathroom, yet I didn't care. I wouldn't be needing it anyways. Walking along the sidewalk, my skin continued to glitch. The air around me was cold, just like every winter. It doesn't bother me that much through, considering I'm always cold. When I was almost to the house, I saw Ashton in the window, smiling. He left the window, and I smiled. A few minutes later Ashton was at the door, wearing a jacket. His hair was a bit messy like always, and I walked up to him. He smiled, and hugged me. "Hey Korosu." I was smiling as well, and wrapped my arms around him. "Hi Ashton. How'd you sleep?" "Good I guess, you?" Horrible. "Good." I'm not going to worry him, even if that means lying here and there. I pretty much lie every day when someone asks me if I'm okay. Truth is, I'm not even close to okay.
~Ashton~
I had my arms around Korosu, smiling. I was excited for today, and thought she might be when we get there. "So are you ready to go?" "More than I'll ever be." Korosu smiled up at me, and I took her hand in mine. "Let's go." Right as we began walking off, mike opened the door and called out "now you be back before nine o'clock sonny!" I laughed, as did she. We began walking a different path than usual, and she turned to me. "Ash?" "Yeah?" I looked down at her. "Where exactly are we going?" "It's a surprise." Korosu smiled at me. "Okay." I held her hand in mine, the cold swirling around us. She looked up at me, and chuckled. "What is it?" "Your nose and cheeks are pink. Cold?" Yep! There wasn't any snow around us, but the wind made the cold double. "Yeah." She smiled, and lifted her feet off the ground. She can do that? She was at my eye level, and put her arm around my shoulder. Smiling, I turned to face her. Right as I did, my foot was caught on a crack in the road, causing me to fall forward. Korosu wrapped her arms around my waist, and kept me from face planting. I looked back at her. "Thanks..." she smiled at me. "You're welcome." Korosu helped me to my feet, and we continued down the road. After a while, we made it to the place I was meaning to take her. She looked around, as did I. Korosu held onto my arm, her feet above the ground. The building was broken down, but the floor and walls held. "Ashton...this is amazing." She smiled, and I did the same. "Thought you'd like it. Found it a while back." Korosu's eyes lit up, but weren't glowing. Her skin glitched, as did her voice. Her hair fell over her shoulders, and her face was visible in the small light shining through the windows. She had some makeup on, but not too much. I noticed she didn't have her lip rings in, and I saw the two holes side by side. Korosu didn't have any lipstick on either, probably Chapstick at the most. Guess she didn't want to bother with it today.  Her hand was still holding mine, and I squeezed her hand lightly. Korosu smiled, and turned to me. Her red eyes were focused on mine, and I put my arms around her waist. She wrapped hers on my shoulders and around my neck, and got a bit closer to the ground. Something inside me wanted to kiss her, and I agree with it.
~Korosu~
I felt like I should kiss him, and really wanted to. His arms were around my waist, my skin was glitching beneath the cloth. You didn't put in any rings, and you don't have lipstick on. Just kiss him. Ashton got a bit closer to me, smiling. Should I... my thoughts were interrupted by him putting his lips on mine, as he kissed me softly. My eyes widened a bit, then I relaxed. His lips were warm, despite the cold. Ashton put his hands on my back, and I cupped his face with one hand. My hair was behind me, as our lips moved in synch. God he's a good kisser. Eyes closed, the light from the windows shone around us, as we continued kissing each other, softly yet passionately.
~Ashton~
Her lips were cold, yet it felt good. Korosu didn't freak out of pull away when I kissed her, instead she was kissing back. Her soft lips moved at the same time as my own. I pulled her a bit closer, hands on her back. Korosu's feet were above the ground, her arms around my neck. She's really good at this. After a while, I needed oxygen, so I broke away, inhaling. Korosu was smiling, and looked up at me. I smiled down at her, and put my hands on her waist. She kept her arms around my neck, her bright eyes looking up at mine. "What was that for?" She's just so cute. "I needed to do that." Korosu hugged me, and we stayed that way for a while.
