18: Never Letting Go Again

"What a coincidence! I didn't expect you guys to be here!" Kuramochi said as he sat down in Sawamura and Haruichi's table like it was nothing. Miyuki just silently sat down beside Kuramochi. He was silently teasing his friend inside. Kuramochi ordered drinks for him and Miyuki.

"It's been a long time since we've gathered like this senpais," Haruichi said.

"Yea Hyahaha. And to know we attend the same college?!"

Kuramochi and Haruichi suddenly noticed their companions were awfully quiet. Sawamura was squirming in his seat while Miyuki was busy looking in social media at his phone.

Idiots... Kuramochi thought.

"So Sawamura, you haven't been hanging out with me much. I missed beating up your ass. Hyahahaha,"

"No thanks Kuramochi-senpai," Sawamura retorts. He did not want to be tortured.

He eyed Miyuki who gave no reaction at all. Was it just him or did Miyuki looked more tired than usual? Maybe it's just the load of homework he has. His course ain't that easy.

Finally, their drinks arrived. It was mainly Kuramochi talking but once he challenged Sawamura with a drinking contest, Sawamura rose to the challenge. Soon enough, Kuramochi and Sawamura were drunk idiots fooling around with each other.

"Yah, Kuramochi-senpaiii.... *hiccup... I can go a hundred bottles moreeee!" Sawamura challenged, raising his glass in the air.

"Hyahahaha......I can dooo...more...than!"Kuramochi replied, raising his glass as well.

"Guys, haven't you had enough?" Haruichi said. He only drank two glasses. He couldn't afford to drink more because he had to be sober to bring one of them home.

"No wayyyy!" Kuramochi stood up and went to the other side of the table and put his arm around Sawamura. Sawamura did the same. Miyuki tensed a little.

"Yeah, Haruichiii... *hiccup..," Sawamura added. 

"We can go one more round....," Kuramochi was about to say but he suddenly droops and was about to hit Sawamura's face if Miyuki hadn't come between them.

"You idiot," he said and dragged Kuramochi back to his seat while whispering "Get your hands off him,". Miyuki then sat back down in his seat and took a sip of his drink. He now had to remain sober thanks to Kuramochi.

"Ehhhh? Why did you leave Kuramochi-senpai? Is it because of this mean senpai?" Sawamura pointed at Miyuki. Miyuki stared wide-eyed. This was the first time Sawamura acknowledged his presence. But he was drunk.

"Mean-senpai? Hyahaha.. *hiccup...,"

Kuramochi tried to take a sip of his drink but ended up slamming his head on the table. He then dozed off. Miyuki looked at his friend in exasperation. He thought Kuramochi was there to be his chaperone. How did it become the other way around?

"Yeah! He played...*hiccup...with my heart..," Sawamura trailed off. His head was leaning onto Haruichi's shoulders. Haruichi looked at Miyuki sheepishly.

"Haruichi...." Sawamura said.

"Yeah Sawamura?" Haruichi asked.

"I still...." Sawamura hiccuped.

"Still?" Haruichi pressed.

"Like.."

Haruichi looked at Miyuki. Miyuki looked at Sawamura, holding his breath.

"Miyuki-senpaiii...,"Sawamura looked at Miyuki directly. Miyuki felt his heart beat faster. He thought Sawamura rejected him. But he still has feelings for him?
