The Other Anzai

The actual story

The next morning she was already up when I woke up. I guessed she's been up for a while because she'd gotten changed and took all of her makeup off and all that. She looked really different when she wasn't in party clothes.
"There he is!" She said somewhat loudly.
"Coffee?" She offered me a huge mug. She must've been one of those people who believe advil and coffee help hangovers. I took it though because I didn't want to be rude.
"How's your head?" I asked her. I wasn't very good at small talk so this was a little weird for me.
"Not the best but it could be a hell of a lot worse," she replied. I sat up and crossed my legs so she could sit down on her sofa.
"What about you?" She asked cuddling her mug close to her chest.
"Alright, now that I slept off my hangover," she giggled a little at that and smiled looking down. That feeling I had last night came back. At least now I can't say I'd never felt like that before anymore.

"Do you...remember any of last night?" She asked keeping her head down.
"Maybe," I raised an eyebrow and smirked, while she looked rather concerned.
"Can you uh, tell me what happened?" She pulled an uneven grin. I chuckled at her concern.
"Nothing bad happened; I promise. You approached me all drunk after you and your friends did some shots. You dragged me to the dancefloor and kept calling me cute all night. Your friend helped me take you home where you kicked off your heels and got into bed. I went to leave and you asked me to stay...so I did." She smiled and looked down at her mug again before letting out a huge sigh of relief.
"No need to worry, not with me anyway; I'm not like my brother." I rolled my eyes and looked back at her to see her eyes widen.
"Oh my gosh that's who you look like!"  She shouted as she stood up on her sofa and jumped off it.
"Yuuki Anzai!" She ignored the coffee splashing on the floor and pointed at me in amazement.
"Yes. He's my twin. I'm Reo Anzai, the not famous one." I turned to face her and put my mug down.

She started shaking. She took a step back and crouched down.
"That, that means that..." she hesitated for a moment and a tight knot arose in my stomach.
"That means that I'm in a room with someone related to a famous person!" The knot untied itself.
"Yeah...sure," she covered her face with her hands and rubbed them up and down a couple times.
"I'm sorry" she mumbled.
"You must get that a lot. I'm just a big fan of him. Not Tsukasa though, I can't stand her." She brought her hands down and sat down on her floor.

I joined her.
"Finally someone else gets it!" The look on her face was pure gold.
"You really don't like her?" She looked all confused, it was kind of funny
"Fuck no. She's really dumb. She knew Yuuki was dangerous yet she made the stupid decision to stay with him. What a dumbass." She raised her eyebrows in surprise.
"I know right!" We both burst out laughing.
"A kindred spirit," she said when she'd calmed down a little.

****

We spent the rest of the day doing that. Talking. It was kind of nice, I'd never had someone who understood me as much as she did.

We'd planned to meet for coffee the next day. I had this weird new sensation in my body. I was smiling all the way back to my house and I kept thinking about her; but at the same time I had a huge knot in my stomach and my chest hurt a little. I almost forgot to have my blood ration for the day.
