My Adventure Is A Boy Named Kota.

Chapter 8 - Drunken thoughts and Betty Buzzkills

Before anything happens, the door to the kitchen slams open and Ben stands there with a worried face. Causing me and Kota to jump apart, When Ben catches my eye. He sighs and rushes over to me.

"Finn, What the fuck!" He says loudly, grabbing me and pulling me into a hug. "I was going insane, what happened to you!"

I try to think of an excuse to tell him when Kota butts in.

"She tripped and fell on the floor so I brought her in here." He lies smoothly.

Ben turns to him as if suddenly realising that he is here.

"Is this true F?" Ben asks me. If I tell Ben the truth, he will most likely freak out and make my headache worse than it already is, he will also probably scold me for getting so wasted.

Not wanting to give away that I am drunk to Ben I nod. Causing Ben to turn around and give Kota a handshake.

"Thank you so much man. I owe you big time." He says. Then turns to me. "Willows mum called and came to pick her up and I realised that I couldn't see you anywhere." Ben said waiting for a response.

"Yeah, umm haha well I tripped on my damn leg joint thingos and now my knees hurt and I was on the floor and it was soo sticky and now I'm sticky and then Kota found me haha, Anyway its hot in here. Do you guys think its hot in here? I need to take my shoes off." I lean down to take my shoes off when I fall forward off the counter, but Kota quickly catches me and sits me up straight.

"Finn. How much did you have to drink." Ben says slowly but sternly. Oh well I guess the cats out of the bag.

I giggle slightly and put my hands really close together and then move them widely apart so that I am stretching my arms as far as I can.

"Oh god Finn. What is wrong with you! Something could have happened to y-"

"Something did happen! I got floor stick on my hands. See!" I reply holding my hands up in his face.

"Ben I think she needs to go upstairs and lay down before she throws up." says Kota.

"Umm, yeah okay I'll take her up." Says Ben, suddenly getting a text. "Ahh shit, apparently Peter from the team has been beat up." He says inspecting his phone. "Umm I gotta-umm." He says turning to me.

"It's okay Benny Boo I know how to walk upstairs." I reply stumbling over the words.

"I am not letting you go by yourself F."

"I'll take her." Says Kota causing me and Ben to turn to him.

"Uhh. I don't know about that." Says Ben slowly.

"I trust him." I say after a moment causing Ben and Kota to look at me surprise on both of their faces. Kota smiles at this, I guess he likes that I trust him.

"Dude, It's alright I promise nothing will happen to her." Kota says.

Ben thinks about it for a bit whilst his phone continues to nonstop ring. "Do you promise not to let her out of your sight." Says Ben sternly.

"Yes, now go, I heard that Peter got beat pretty bad." Kota says winking at me causing me to drunkenly snort.

"Alright, umm. Finn, Your sure about this?" Ben asks obviously not seeing the wink.

"Yup." I say popping the P.

"Alright, yeah okay, You can go. Just be careful and call me as soon as you wakeup." Ben says kissing me on the forehead and running out of the door.

I turn to look at Kota who has his jaw tightly clenched while his eyes follow Ben's fleeting figure.

"psst. PSST. Stop being a betty Buzzkill." I say to him.

"Common lets get you to bed." Kota says turning to me and helping me stand up. When I do stand up I sway a bit and then stumble into a hard small object.

"Oops sorry sir." I say to the chair.

"Wow you really are fucked." Kota says picking me up and carrying me bridal style through the door.

"I am not da-runk." I slur. "I hate alcomahole." I giggle

"Yeah sure you aren't."

"You smell nice." I say looking at Kota as he carries me up the stairs and into an empty bedroom.

He chuckles at this and places me gently on a soft bed.

"And you have pretty eyes." I snuggle into the bed. "mmm Comfy." Man it has been a long night.

"Yeah it's comfy." Says Kota as he pulls off my shoes and pulls the blanket over me. "Goodnight Greenie." He turns to leave. What. No he can't leave. What if Peter comes back.

I grab his hand as he turns. "Please, don't leave. You didn't check for monsters under the bed." I say to him softly looking up into his blue eyes. Even though we both know full well that the only monsters were downstairs.

He gazes down at me and tightens his jaw as if debating whether he should or not. He then nods slowly and turns off the light then walks around the bed all while keeping eye contact with me and slowly lies down next to me, the mattress sinks under his weight.

"I won't leave you Greenie." He says.

I turn to face him in bed as we are lying centimetres from each other. "Why do you call me Greenie? " I mutter trying my hardest to stay awake.

Kota turns to face me also in bed. Through the dark I can still see the outline of his face.

"Because of your eyes." He says. "I have never seen such big green eyes before."

I think over it a second, I have grown quite accustomed to the name.

"Kota?" I ask.

"Yes Finn." He says

"Thank-you."

Theres a silence for a second before he replies with "Goodnight Greenie."

"Night Kota."

Drifting off to sleep, I almost think I feel something soft graze my cheek, only briefly. A kiss? Surely not. I embrace the scent of Kota surrounding me as I drift into a peaceful slumber and dream of a blue eyed boy.
