You woke up the next morning with a migraine. Not a head ache, a complete migraine.

Sting wasn't there so all you could do was wait it out under your covers and hold your skull as tight as your could.

It eventually ended when you forced yourself out of bed to get pain killers, however, that was when your delicious dinner from the party revisited you in the bathroom.

It was only one glass of wine and now you were like this. You questioned how much people had to drink to get use to the stuff like Eileen.

You doubt anyone was at Eileen's level though.

"(Y/N)?"

You heard the front door open and close with a thud. Sting, who you were guessing was holding grocery bags, made his was to the bathroom after hearing you puke up just a little bit.

He knelt down next to you and began rubbing your back. His jacket was still on and his clothes and hair were wet from the snow. "Are you okay?" He asked softly.

You flush and nod, hiding your face from him so he could avoid the mess that was your puke.

"Yeah, I'm okay." You said and began standing up. Sting helped you to your feet and stayed next to you as you brushed your teeth.

"I bought some more painkillers and some food if you want a day in. I don't think we can go outside anyway. It's crazy out there." Sting walked you out of the bathroom and back to your futon.

You fell back down and he tucked you in. "How're you feeling?" He asked.

You smile faintly. "Like a million bucks."

He smiled back just as weak. It didn't matter if he was still cold and wet. You reached out to him and pulled him to lay down next to you. He did so willingly and snuggled in close to you.

"Don't you want me to make you something to eat?" He offered, saying it at such a low volume that it was almost relaxing.

Almost. The sound of eating food right now made you sick. "What if a throw up again?" You questioned with closed eyes. You were also afraid of opening them and seeing a spinning room.

Sting laughed. "You won't if you keep drinking water and take the medicine I got you."

"Ugh."

He laughed more and dropped the subject altogether, starting a new conversation. "How was your night?"

You thought about it. Regardless of how drunk you got, you remembered everything from last night. How embarrassing...

"It was good. Eileen was really cool," You told him. "She's on a whole different level."

"Yeah," Sting agreed. "She's insane, just like Erza. They're the kind of women I'm way too uncomfortable around."

That comment did make you open your eyes. "What? Are they too beautiful for your innocent eyes?" You joked but anyone could tell you were being jealous.

"No. They're just insanely strong, power women types that I can't keep a conversation with."

Your jealousy didn't leave, but you got what he meant. You could only wish to achieve the attitude and power Eileen has.

"How was your night?" You asked as you closed your eyes again, trying to regain balance in your own mind.

Sting's calm voice was replaced with excitement and energy. "It's was amazing! I wish you were there. My dad introduced me to so many amazing people. After Eileen, I met this one guy, scary as Hell, but really cool. His name was Elefseria."
