Chapter 14:You call this Archaeology?

Third pov

Thatch clicked the play button, and the opening credits rolled in. Everyone tentatively watched as Indy searched through the dense, lush rain forest, with the two indians, and the two peruvians following behind. So far, no drinking cues popped up, and Marco was starting to doubt whether or not any was going to come. Kira, who sat confidently on her seat, watched the movie. Marco smiled over her, and gently put his hand on her lap. Kira looked over to him, and smiled. This in return made Marco smile back.

'I wonder what she's thinking about, yoi?'

Suddenly, the familiar sound of Indiana's whip sounded on the screen. Kira sniggered when some of the guys didn't know whether or not they should take a drink, and begin to debate about it. "Don't take a drink," Kira calls, "he didn't punch anyone. He used his whip, and his whip doesn't count as a drinking cue." This caused everyone to settle, and place their drinks back onto the table in front of them. Then when the Chamber of Light scene played, everyone noticed the skeletons, and all took a shot. A lot of the mafia members recoiled at the strong taste of taste of the shot drink, but Kira simply drank it as if it were water, or a morning coffee.

'Huh...funny that she hasn't wrenched at the flavour, yoi.' Marco thought.

Next was the Stairway scene, and everyone watched as Indiana lowered the torch towards the floor landing, and everyone saw more skeletons, so they all took another shot. Kira smirked when she heard people mutter as to how strong the alcohol was. The next scene was when Indiana and Satipo had to escape, and Satipo tricked him, which automatically made Satipo become a bad guy. Upon seeing this, everyone grabbed a shot glass, and drank some more. "Kira did we really have to use the strongest alcohol?" Ace asked. Kira shot Ace a smirk, "What? Are you too much of a sissy?" she challenged. Upon hearing that, Ace sat in a sulking position, while Itami giggled, and kissed his neck & cheek to make him feel better.

'Wait...' Marco thought, before it finally clicked, 'I get the feeling that she's played this game heaps of times. No wonder she hasn't complained about the drink being so strong, yoi!'

Kira picked her fair share of oreos that were set out, and ate them, a smirk in her eyes.

'She's gonna win this, yoi...Not on my watch of course, yoi.'

The movie went on, with many a drinking cue popping up. Of course, a lot of the guys were quickly becoming drunk, since they didn't eat food or water while watching & playing. Marco noticed this, and noticed that Kira doesn't even look tipsy. If anything, she looked composed, and sober as ever. Kira caught Marco staring, and she sent a wink his way. He smirked to himself.

'I now know your secret.'

Many minutes fly by, and many shots were taking due to the drinking cues. Throughout the whole movie, Marco was copying what Kira was doing, so that he did his best to stay sober with Kira. He ate when she did, drank water when she did, and watched her closely. As creepy as it kinda was, Marco wanted to share the victory with Kira. Only he can. He'll fight the other person who dares to keep up with them.

'This Irish stuff is strong, yoi. I'm still wondering as to how Kira hasn't passed out yet, yoi.'

Marco looked around, and he saw that the people that were left, was himself, Kira, Ace, Jozu & Thatch. But when he looked twice, he saw how Thatch & Ace were struggling to stay sober, and to not pass out. The whole time, Itami was hugging Ace from behind, and Marco swore he saw cute little love hearts floating around Itami as she hugged Ace. "Acey~! I want a oreo!" Itami slurred. Ace reached over, and fed one to Itami, "There, tasty?" he asked. With a blush, she nods, "Its as sweet as you~!" she giggles, nuzzling her face in his neck.

*timeskip*

Soon, the movie ended, and the only ones left, was Kira & Marco. All the guys that were participating had either given up, or were drunk out of their minds. Kira was chuckling to herself as they hammered with with questions, "Simple, back before I was a doctor, I used to go to this bar a lot, and drink, and play a lot of drinking games. Because I studied medicine, I knew how things worked with alcohol, and all that. So I used it to my advantage, and taught myself how to be good at not getting drunk. Like right now, I probably feel like...a small buzz but its not major." Kira explained. Half of the guys were too drunk to comprehend what Kira said, and had waved her off.

'Well that was fun.'

Then, Kira suddenly remembered the amount of alcohol that she & Marco drank, and realised that they can't get home. To add more stress, almost everyone was drunk, which means that no one else can drive her back. Marco noticed her stress, "We can stay here, yoi." he said. Kira looked over to him, "We can do that?" she asked. He nods, "Old Man has all these spare rooms just in case if people are too drunk, and can't make it home, yoi. We can stay in one of those, yoi." Marco said. Kira blushed, "D-Do you think...we could sleep in the same room?" she whispered. Marco's eyes went wide a tiny fraction, "Are you sure?" he asked Kira nods, and whispers to him, "I don't know anyone here, and I don't trust them enough for me to sleep alone in a room. Please? It really would make me feel better." Kira begged.

Immediately, Marco knew what she meant. This is the first time that Kira' staying here, and she doesn't know everyone at the mafia well enough for her to sleep alone in a room. He could see the logic behind it. If he was there, then she won't feel so anxious. Marco knows what all the guys are like, and he knows that someone will try & do something to Kira. Finally, he nods, and takes her hand in his, "I'll be with you for the whole night, yoi." Kira smiles weakly, "Thank you." he kisses her forehead, "No problem."

And so, he lead Kira out to the spare dorm rooms in the mafia clubhouse. He chose the first room he saw, and swore, "I forgot....all of the dorms have one double bed in each room, yoi..." he mutters, a blush crawling onto his face. Kira blushed as well, "O-Oh...?" "We're going to have to sleep in the same bed, yoi." he stammers. Kira nods, still blushing, "I-I'm fine with that..." she cleared her throat, "Anyway...lets get to bed."

Kira decided to sleep in the shirt she was wearing, and her panties. The only thing Marco could think of, was to sleep in his boxers, which made him feel a bit more awkward. Marco slid himself into bed, Kira following behind, since she had to turn the lights off. When Kira crawled in, she searched for Marco. "Marco?" she called. "I'm here." he replied. Kira was silent, before she murmured, "Can you...hold me?" Kira relaxed when she felt arms snake around her, and then felt Marco's chin on her shoulder. His breath on her eased her, and made her forget of all the stresses in her life.

Marco pressed gentle kisses onto her shoulder, up to her cheek. This made Kira close her eyes. "Good night.." she murmured. "Good night." he whispered.
