Erasermic hanahaki "Only You"

Cuts

Shota's POV:

I was at the bar for a while, and I never saw Hizashi return. "Pfft, whatever.... I don't even care." I bought a bottle of whiskey from the bar and made my way back to my apartment. "Ugh. I'm tired." I got into the elevator and watched as the doors closed. Just as they were about to close completely, someone stuck an arm in between to stop it from closing.

Hizashi walked in and gave me the biggest smile ever. "Hey Sho!" I blushed a bit at how cute he was when he was excited. "Hey Zashie." He looked down at the bottle in my hand. "Sho... what's that?" "This?" I said, referring towards the whiskey. "Um, yah! Shota! You gotta stop drinking." "No."

We reached our floor and both got out. Hizashi sighed and walked towards his apartment. I could tell he was stressed, which was weird for him. He was fumbling with his keys, when I gave into my gut feeling and decided to invite him over. "Zash, wanna hang out."

"Hm? What?" I rolled my eyes and started walking towards my apartment. What if I weirded him out! Oh god. I was more freaked out than I seemed. "Sure!" Hizashi started walking towards me. "Oh.." He giggled. I walked into my apartment and threw off my shoes. "Make yourself at home."

He sat down on the couch and began pulling his long blond hair into messy bun. I couldn't help but look at him. "He's so pretty..." I thought. "What the hell am I thinking?! We're only friends... and he has a girlfriend." I huffed and grabbed the bottle of whiskey, making my way for the window.

*Cough, cough, cough* "Dammit." I looked down at the petals in my hand before quickly opening the window and throwing them out. "Damn, is that cold still bugging you?" Hizashi said, standing up and walking towards me. "Tch, yeah... something like that." I sat down on the window and opened the bottle.

Hizashi walked into the kitchen, and just as I was about to take a huge sip from the bottle, he took it from me. "Shota... you can't drown yourself in liquor." He poured some into a glass that he assuming got from the kitchen and handed it to me.

Hizashi's POV:

I noticed Shota about to most likely start chugging the bottle of booze and quickly went to the kitchen to grab a glass. Once I had the glass, I walked over to Shota and took the bottle. "Shota... you can't drown yourself in liquor." I poured a half glass and put it in his hands. "Buzzkill." He said as he brought the glass to his lips. When he did so, part of his sleeve rolled down revealing... cuts?

I grabbed his arm and pulled up his sleeved, the drink falling to the floor. He hissed in pain. "What the hell is this! Shota!" He tried to pull his arm back, but I wouldn't let go. He looked at the ground. "Umm... it was a villain." "Wrong answer Sho. All your colleagues said that you haven't been in, in MONTHS. You're LIEING to me."

Tears started to roll down his face and I could feel his pain. "Awe... Sho..." I pulled him into a hug and he flinched at first. Soon, he buried his head into my chest and continued to cry. I stoked his head, rocking us back and forth. "Shhhhh. It's ok Sho. I have you now."
