Chapter 17: The King Looks Back

Chapter 17:

"It's my last night tonight. You couldn't have stayed sober for one more night?" Shion whispered to the unconscious Orion.

He quietly let out a loud sigh to communicate his daily struggles to nobody in particular. Grasping Orion's arm, Shion swung Orion's body around to lean on him. He dragged Orion's body to his bedroom where he pushed his muscles to the limit heaving Orion up.

At this moment, Orion regained consciousness. He took a step forwards and plummeted onto the bed effectively pinning Shion down. Shion glared at the drunken face that appeared inches from his own. He brushed back the hair and gently laid a kiss on Orion's forehead.

"Payment, for having to clean your drunk butt up," Shion whispered amusedly.

He slid from underneath Orion to the bathroom where he brought back a bucket of water, a cloth, toothbrush and toothpaste. Button by button, Shion went down Orion's shirt to remove the challenging article of clothing. Removing clothing from an uncooperative person was a struggle between wanting to cut the shirt or rip it in half. As it happened, Orion had worn a shirt with particularly complex anatomy today for whatever event he had attended. The shirt was made primarily of silk, but consisted of chiffon overlay in certain areas. Not only did Shion need to undo the general front down buttons, he also need to detach all chiffon overlay to successfully separate the shirt from the body. After fumbling more than a few times, Shion finally got a grasp on his previously non-existent fine motor skills and removed the anatomically complex shirt. Underneath his shirt lay the broad chest that no one was as familiar with as Shion. Orion's chest didn't particularly interest Shion at the moment since Orion's face was starting to go a strange colour. He drew off Orion's unnecessarily gilded pants, and dipped the cloth in water. Once the cloth was soaked, he dragged it across Orion's sweaty body. For drunk people, bathrooms were a particularly dangerous place to be. In Shion's situation where Orion had zero control over his body, if Shion wanted to shower Orion, he would need complete control of Orion's weight. Simply put, if Shion wanted to bath Orion the traditional way, the chance of dropping Orion onto the floor, and shattering his pristine teeth was uncomfortably high, so he stuck to the reliable wet towel method.

Orion's body shivered from the cold. In his foggy mind, nothing comprehensible was going on at that moment. If one wanted to compare the great Orion Lukenlore to a child, for once it wouldn't be too far of a stretch. Leaving Orion's body, Shion went to retrieve a set of pyjamas for him. As he carefully selected a soft cotton set, Orio felt his throat was too dry for comfort. He reached an arm onto the night stand and attempted to right himself to stand. As he went to push himself up, Orion overexerted and ended up headfirst on the ground. Instantly, Orion's lights were out. Shion walked back into the room to find Orion kissing the floor. A giggle escaped between his lips before he hurriedly heaved Orion back onto the bed. Orion now sported an exceptionally red nose.

Shion brought the pyjamas onto the bed. Step one began with the underwear. The small article didn't prove forebodingly difficult; however, when the time came to pull up the pyjama bottoms, Shion found the weight of Orion's body too heavy to lift when pulling up the pants. He gave up upon realizing the task wasn't likely to happen, so Shion moved to the top. The long-sleeved shirt slid easily across one arm, and bundled up at the back when attempting to draw it to the other side. Eventually, Shion gave up. Orion looked like a pitifully drunk man who fainted while either trying to take off or put on his clothes. After the clothes came the teeth. Shion had a firm belief that alcohol, as an acidic drink, would corrode the teeth, so he considered it important to brush them after drinking. Of course, making a drunk man spit out toothpaste was easier said than done. So poor Orion simply suffered as Shion shoved a tissue into his mouth. Afterwards, to overcome the challenge that the clothes proved, Shion pulled the duvet tightly around Orion before sliding in himself.
