I slowly opened my eyes as someone shook my shoulder, I could faintly see the outline of Sae looking down at me. I could feel my head starting to throb so I moved my arm up to hold my head but I stopped when I heard bottles fall and clang to the floor, the noise made my head hurt even more so naturally I grasped my head.

"You really went nuts celebrating your twenty second birthday didn't you?" Sae asked me.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that. I must've gotten so wasted I can barely remember where I am.

"Where am I?" I asked Sae.

"You're in Leblanc, and surprisingly it's still clean." She told me as she looked around.

"The party was upstairs."

And on queue I heard somebody roll down the stairs.

"I don't think I'll search online for anything like that again after last night!" Ryuji practically yelled out.

I pushed myself up so I was facing the stairs and saw that he was only wearing his pants and Ann's bra over his head. I couldn't help by slap my face, I so desperately hoped that Sae didn't kill me for this.

"Not even going to ask." Sae just said as she handed me some headache tablets.

"Thanks." I said to her.

"You'll need them from the looks of it, and remember that you're cooking tonight."

And with that Sae walked back out of Leblanc and headed off to work. I looked back to Ryuji and he was still sitting at the bottom on the stairs with Ann's bra on his head, he looked pretty happy for someone who was keeping up with me in terms of shots.

"You look like a fucking idiot." I told him as I pulled myself up to my feet.

"I don't care, I feel like a beast." He said to me, clearly still in a trance.

I helped him stand up and gave him a tablet to take before his headache kicked in. I carefully made my way up the stairs to see the carnage that we left behind from our celebration last night. There were empty bottles everywhere along with blankets and air mattresses scattered around the attic, I could just see the top of Akira's head from underneath one, Haru was lying down on Akira's mattress, Ann was lying on the bare floor with Ryuji's shirt on instead of her own. I looked over to the couch to see Futaba clutching her phone while sleeping, Yusuke was the only one sleeping on his bed but I knew he had passed out from the empty bottle next to him,  Morgana was sleeping on the window sill, lucky cat couldn't have alcohol. I noticed somebody move under a blue blanket and I instantly knew who it was, I slowly pulled the blanket back to see Makoto who was beginning to open her eyes before moving her arm out and handing me an empty wine bottle, I chuckled and put it behind me then picked her up along with her blanket. I carried her downstairs and laid her down on one of the booth benches, Ryuji was up and had taken Ann's bra off his head and was now looking in the fridge.

"Anything to eat?" I asked.

"Nothing, I'm so hungry." He told me.

I heard somebody walking down the stairs and looked to see Haru wearing Akira's jacket walking down.

"Good morning you two." Haru greeted us.

"Morning sis." I said back while Ryuji just waved his hand.

Haru just walked down to the booth and sat down opposite to Makoto and looked around.

"I'm quite surprised the cafe isn't destroyed." Haru pointed out.

Ryuji slammed the fridge door closed and stared at Haru. "How are you not like spewing your guts up, you were drinking so much wine, you had like five bottles and helped Makoto finish a sixth one!"
