Minori wasn’t expecting such a big party that’s for sure. When An and Kohane had first invited her and the rest of More More Jump to this so-called party since they were in America at the time for their tour, Minori was half heartedly expecting a small get together that would only be for a couple of hours, considering both More More Jump and Vivid Bad Squad were performing the next day.
But as Minori said before, she was not expecting such a big party. She doesn’t know who’s house they’re at, what music is playing on the loud radio, and who half of these people are. An claims they’re a friend of a friend of a friend but Minori just feels like that’s her own way of saying she doesn’t really know who the host or where they were.
Kohane was here though, as well as everyone else in More More Jump. Kohane was not too much of a fan of the craziness inside, so she mainly stayed with Minori in a small corner while An dragged Haruka somewhere and Airi and Shizuku seemed to wander off by themselves. They would be fine. Hopefully. Airi was pretty good in english, and Shizuku could have a decent conversation. Minori’s sure An has Haruka’s back but she knows Haruka does her best. And as for her? Well she’s pretty good if she would say for herself and Kohane should be good too.
A little bit into the party, Minori found herself less shy and she bounced to the music that was playing. It wasn’t really her taste, but it had a cool beat she liked. Maybe they could do a song with this kind of vibe! It was nice being with Kohane, considering they haven’t been together in a long while. A bit later, they were given red cups by a stranger. Kohane tried to protest but the stranger laughed and said “It’s only got one shot, plus it’s real good.”
Kohane and Minori turned to each other awkwardly as the guy walked away, not really sure what to do. “Should we drink it?” Kohane asks.
Minori shrugs. “I mean, it’s only a little bit of alcohol, plus we’re adults! We’ve probably gained a good tolerance by now!”
Kohane blinks before shaking her head. “That’s…not how that works…”
“Oh…” Minori says awkwardly before she suddenly gulps down the drink. How else can she get Kohane’s mind off of that embarrassing moment that just occurred.
“M–Minori-chan?!” Kohane squeaks.
It burned a bit as it slid down her throat, but aside from that, the drink had a fruity tang to it. “Oooh! Kohane-chan! It really is good!”
Kohane frowns hesitantly before gulping. “Is it really? I..I don’t want to get drunk, I’m performing tomorrow.”
“I am too! But I think the most we’ll be a little tipsy. We don’t have to have another one.”
“Does this count as peer pressure?”
“Maaaybeeeee…” Minori giggles.
Kohane sighs before she takes a small sip. Her face contorts into a bit of a disgusted expression before she smacks her lips softly and nods. “Not bad.”
“Told ya!” Minori smiles.
After the two had a bit to drink, Kohane had asked to go outside, presumably to get away from the smell of cigarettes and the music that was just a little bit too loud for her. That made Minori a bit worried for Haruka. What if it was too loud for her too? So she told Kohane that she would meet her outside, and that she’d be quick.
It was a bit hard to find Haruka, especially with all these people around, but she did eventually. She was leaning on a wall with a drink in hand and some chocolate chip cookies in the other one.
“Oh! Haruka-chan!” Minori calls out as she pushes through the people. Haruka looks at her with glassy eyes and nods.
“Minori, hi.”
Minori looks down at her hands and looks back up. “A-Are you drunk?”
“Nah! A bit buzzed at most.” An interjects as she wraps her arm around Minori. Haruka slowly nods in agreement.
“Haruka-chan…I thought you didn't eat sweets the night before concerts?”
Haruka looks down before frowning and taking another bite. “Well…It’s too late now. I already had two before.”
Minori tilts her head but shrugs anyway. At least Haruka seemed happy, so she couldn't say anything. “Okay, but are you…are you okay?”
Haruka mindlessly nods before taking another sip of her drink. “I’m just fine.”
“Okay..I’m going outside with Kohane-chan. I’ll be back later.”
“Is she okay?” An asks.
Minori nods and smiles. “Yeah, she’s fine.”
An grins as she pats Minori’s back before sending her off. “Okay byeee!”
She blinks as she’s suddenly pushed away. How odd…why was she so eager to get her away. Minori pushes it to the back of her mind as she heads to the door. On the way she catches a glimpse of Shizuku and Airi talking to some people and laughing.
Well if everyone else was having a good time, then Minori should have one too!
She makes her way outside and she sees Kohane sitting on the brick listening to this drunk girl’s story. Not wanting to interrupt her, she quietly sits down and joins in. Even if she didn’t fully understand what the girl was saying since she was sobbing and talking so quickly, Minori couldn’t register what she was saying half the time. She hopes her presence can help.
✩✩✩
Minori checks her phone and sees that it’s already midnight! “No way!” She mutters as she looks around. The night air was cool, but not chilly. She and Kohane have been hanging out around the outside of the house. They had found a bunny and took care of it for a bit before letting it go back into the wild, conversing with some drunk people and such.
But since it was midnight already, Minori figures she should head home. They did have a concert tomorrow and being tired on stage with low energy for people who had been so excited and spent money to see them was not an option of course! So she and Kohane go back inside. The music is just as loud and there might be even more people here than a couple of hours ago.
Minori leads Kohane to where she had found An and Haruka before, but when she got there they were not there. “Huh…” she mutters. Of course she didn’t really expect for them to stay in the same spot all night, but she thought at least she may find some kind of clue. But instead, nothing.
The two girls look around for a while until they find a drunk An, laughing and dancing with people she didn’t know.
“An-chan!” Kohane calls out as she pulls her out of the crowd to the side.
“Ah Kohane, there you areeee!” An smiles brightly as she gives Kohane a peck on the cheek.
“You…smell like alcohol…” She says as she pushes a bit of An’s loose hair behind her ear.
“Yeah, I am a bit.”
“A bit may be an understatement.” Minori comments.
An lets out a loud laugh before she roughly pats Minori’s shoulder. “You should see your girlfriend, she is smashed.”
“H-Huh?!” Minori squeaks.
Haruka? Drunk? Like really drunk? Really? Was An just saying this because she herself was drunk or was it actually true?
“Yup. She’s…over…there somewhere, kinda lost her after a while.” An lazily points to the right of the house.
Minori nods as she supposes she should get Haruka back to the hotel then. Hopefully the hangover wouldn’t be too bad and she would still be able to perform tomorrow night.
“Kay kay! I–I’ll see you guys tomorrow or something?” Minori says as she (only slightly) begins to run over to where Haruka presumably was. Kohane gives her a small wave before she sees her guide An out of the house.
Minori pushes through people, searching for the familiar head of blue hair. Eventually, she spots Airi and Shizuku on a couch. Shizuku slumped over on top of Airi, her face buried into Airi’s neck.
“Hey!” Minori says as she walks over. “Is…Shizuku-chan okay?” she asks, a bit concerned.
“Oh she’s okay alright.” Airi laughs dryly as she pushes Shizuku’s head back with her palm.
Shizuku whines as she tries to go back to Airi’s neck. “No!” Airi protests. “At least…not here.”
Minori’s a bit confused, but once she shifts her weight to the other foot and moves a bit, she can see what looks like hickeys on the girl's neck. Oh…so that’s what Airi meant.
“Uhhahaha…” Minori laughs awkwardly before her eyes dart around. “Are you two…drunk?”
Shizuku shakes her head before she grabs Airi’s arm and begins to leave a small trail of kisses going up it. Airi on the other hand, sighs and nods. “Yeah, probably. Some more than others.”
“Okay..” Minori lets out a breath of air. Great! Everyone was drunk except for her! What the heck is she going to do! How was she going to get everyone home.
“Don’t worryy, I’m not that drunk .” Airi insists as she waves her free hand. Minori’s grateful Airi seems to have some kind of sense to her, so she wasn’t completely at a loss here.
“Do– Do you know where Haruka-chan is? I think we should get back to the hotel, it’s pretty late.” Minori asks.
“Oh shit, really?” Airi says as she grabs her phone from her pocket and slowly blinks at the time, as if she couldn’t really process it. “Uh..Haruka? She’s…over there.” she says hesitantly as she points next to the arm of the couch.
Minori raises her eyebrow as she walks to the right and her eyes widen as she finally finds Haruka.
She was slumped against the wall, legs sprawled out, staring into the abyss.
“Uhhh…H-Haruka-chan…?” Minori calls out as she slowly walks forward and lightly taps her shoulder.
Her girlfriend does not respond. Or blink. Or do anything. Which made her worried. “A–Airi-chan? What– What’s wrong with her?!”
Airi groans as she pushes herself to look over the arm of the couch, and Minori could hear faint protests from her to Shizuku to “Give her arm back.” and that she’ll give it back later. “Oh. You know, I think those cookies she ate before had some weed in them. ‘heard some guys talking about it, then I thankfully stopped Shizuku from having one.”
Weed?! WEED?! Haruka had ingested WEED? So she was drunk and high?! Just what she needed And Airi was so…calm about this?! HOW? Minori took a deep breath and had to remind herself for one Airi was also drunk, and two, that she was the only one with a proper working brain at the moment. “That…is that good for her…?”
“Ehhhh she’ll be fine.” Airi smacks her lips before Shizuku pulls her back.
At that Minori sighs and frowns as she cups her girlfriend's cheek. What was she going to do with her? She sits on the floor next to Haruka (who probably has no idea what’s happening at the moment.) and pulls out her phone to call an uber.
After she calls, Minori figures it would be best to wait outside. So she decides to tell Airi and Shizuku first, because at least these two could (hopefully) walk on their own.
“Umm…guys…?” Minori says, not wanting to interrupt…whatever was happening at the moment. It seemed as if Airi was almost drowning in Shizuku. Drowning in affection that is.
“Ughhh! Shizuku, just wait please! Not here!” Airi groans as she has to constantly push the overly affectionate girl away from her. Funny enough, Shizuku seemed to be even more clingy and affectionate when drunk.
“Guys? Minori presses again, which earns a half angry, half annoyed glance from Airi in return. Shizuku also turns her head with a small smile on her face.
“I– I called an uber, let’s…go outside. It should be here soon.”
“Right.” Airi nods as she has to push Shizuku off of her once again to stand up, but once Airi does, Shizuku follows quickly and wraps her arms around her back.
“Oh, Airi-chan…You’re just so warm! I love you so much, don’t you? I just…want to kiss you…and hug you. And touch you. Oh I really, really want to touch you.” Shizuku says as her hand slips under Airi’s shirt.
Airi’s face flushes before she giggles, but soon snaps herself out of it. “Hey– Hey! Stop that! I said not now! Wait till we have more privacy…”
Shizuku whines a bit before finally (half-heartedly agreeing.)
Great, Shizuku and Airi were all ready to go. Now Minori just had to find a way to get Haruka up from the floor. She shuffles over to Haruka and waves a hand in front of her face.
She didn’t get a reply, as she expected. Just an empty gaze. Haruka was probably high up in the sky by now. So she moves to her side and slowly, but surely gets her to stand up.
The girl swayed on her feet for a bit before Minori helped steady her. “Okay…let’s go, yeah?” Minori says softly as she helps Haruka put one foot in front of another.
Thankfully the four made it out of the house together, but as soon as the spring wind hit them, Minori felt Haruka jerk and gag. Uh oh, was she going to throw up? Minori quickly guides her to a bush and helps her bend over so she doesn't throw up all over herself.
It was gross, but Minori simply rubbed her on the back and helped her stay standing.
“Euck!” Airi exclaimed.
Minori looks back and shakes her head. “Don’t be mean.”
“I’m not mean, it’s just nasty.”
“It’s normal!” Minori jumps to Haruka’s defense.
Once Haruka was hopefully finished she led her to the curbside where they waited for the car.
And they waited.
And waited.
Until Minori got bored. And she’s sure it hasn’t even been five minutes yet. She looks around to Haruka and finds that her girlfriend was no longer staring into the void, she was looking at her. Her cheeks flushed.
“Woah! Airi-chan! Haruka-chan’s looking at me!” Minori cheers. “Maybe she’s coming down a bit!”
Airi turns her head and laughs.
Minori frowns. “What’s so funny?”
“She’s looking at you like she wants something.”
“Something?” Minori questions. What could Haruka possibly want at this moment? Could Haruka even form a thought?
But Airi simply smirks. “Yeah. I think she wants your cookie.”
Minori tilts her head and looks in her hands. “My…cookie? I don’t have any cookies on me? Plus she had like– who knows! And they all had weed in them, I don’t think we should give her anymore. At least not from this place, that’s for sure.”
Suddenly Airi lets out a loud heartily laugh, which like a domino, makes Shizuku laugh too, even if she had no idea what they were talking about, because she was too focused on wanting to…have fun with Airi later.
“No, not an actual cookie, Minori. She wants to have sex.”
“Sex…?” She whispers before her whole face burns up and she blinks rapidly. “SEX?! WITH HARUKA-CHAN?! NOW?!” She nearly screams.
Airi simply laughs again. “Yeah! Isn’t that right, Haruka?”
Haruka’s quiet for a long while before she lets out a very quiet “Hm.” with the slightest smirk on her lips.
“Me and Haruka-chan are in the same boat then! If Minori-chan and Haruka-chan have sex, then can we?” Shizuku asks Airi as she leans her weight on top of her.
Airi is no longer laughing. Instead her face goes beet read before she grumbles something under her breath.
Minori returns to reality after a while realizing that their uber had finally come. Minori helps Haruka in first, noticing that she went back into staring at nothing and no longer had that look in her eye. After she gets in herself, and after her Shizuku sits next to her, pulling Airi onto her lap and wrapping her arms around her like a seatbelt.
“I’ll keep you nice and tight in my lap, Airi-chan. Unless…You want to be my seatbelt…?”
Good lord, was Minori going to have to listen to this the whole drive back to the hotel?
✩✩✩
Long story short, no apparently Minori was not going to have to listen to the flirting the whole drive back.
Why?
Because spontaneously, Airi could not take it anymore and she and Shizuku started making out around ten minutes ago. Which makes her worried if these two were really going to get any sleep tonight, and quite frankly, it made her a bit nervous and grossed out.
So, she tried to ignore it. Minori uttered an awkward apology to the driver. The bald man shook his head slowly in return, letting her know that it was okay but she could tell that it was awkward for him too.
Minori looks over to Haruka whose eyes were half lidded, and she wondered if she had any idea what the heck was happening.
“Uh…Don’t mind them. They’re just…having their own time. Which means it’s just you and me right now…” Minori says as she intertwines her hand with Haruka’s “…if you just ignore them.”
Of course Haruka did not respond, because she seemed to be on another planet. Perhaps Minori should have stopped Haruka earlier. She would rather deal with a drunk Haruka than a crossfaded one who’s unresponsive.
It’s not like Haruka was loud. In fact it was the opposite. Haruka was reserved, quiet, and calm. But this Haruka. This Haruka was not on planet earth. And in Minori’s book, it would be fine (she guesses) if the reason why was because she was dissociating or something like that (actually that would not be any better), but not when she was intoxicated.
Minori pursues her lips as she tries to block out the sound of wet lips smacking together and the moans in the background.
“Hope you had fun before you…you know…” Minori says to Haruka.
Thankfully they make it back to the hotel soon and Minori helps Haruka out of the car, before getting Shizuku and Airi’s attention. The two nearly flew out of the backseat of the car and ran inside the front doors to their shared room.
Minori knows what they’re going to do. But does she know what she’s going to do, that’s the real question. Slowly but surely she helps Haruka up the stairs, into the hotel and into the elevator. Hopefully Haruka wouldn’t throw up here…
Minori digs into her pants pocket and eventually finds the keycard to their hotel room. She slips it back into the pocket, checking for any potential holes and sighs of relief when she doesn’t find any. Thank goodness. She didn’t want to drop it into the crack of the elevator again.
Once the elevator digs she slowly guides Haruka out of the elevator. It threatens to close on multiple times and really makes Minori realize how slow they were really walking.
They make it out and spend what feels like forever walking to their room. Minori took out the keycard and swiped it, but as luck would have it, it did not open. She swipes it a few more times, starting to get a bit frustrated, so she turns it the other way. But when she scanned it then, it worked!
‘Wrong way, Minori! Wrong way…”
Minori and Haruka go over to the bed and sit down. Haruka looks a little pale compared to before where she was totally flushed, so this makes Minori go into the bathroom and grab the ground trash can. She places it next to her and tries to signal to Haruka that it was for her.
Haruka gives a frog blink, which Minori thought was pretty adorable.
“Yeah! For you!” Minori smiles before giving Haruka a kiss on the cheek. “Don’t worry, Haruka-chan. I know you’ll start stressing about not feeling good tomorrow morning because you’ll want to perform, which will only make you feel worse than you already do from extra stress but…” Minori takes a deep breath. “Right now I think it’s a good time for you to rest.” She finally finished.
Haruka blankly stares at her before she hunches over and thankfully throws up into the bucket. ‘Huh…how’d she do that?’ Minori wonders. She rubs her back and frowns.
She knows her girlfriend too well. Tomorrow she would stress out about the pounding headache in her temples, and try to push herself though it which would make it worse. So as she said before, she just wanted her to rest. But it didn’t seem to work when Haruka kept throwing up.
Minori gets up and goes to the mini fridge the hotel has in the corner and pulls out a water bottle. Hopefully once she stops vomiting, she could drink some water. Dehydration was a biggg no-no.
Eventually, Haruka stops throwing up, and Minori sits next to her. She opens the cap of the water bottle and hands it out to Haruka.
Perhaps it wasn't the smartest idea to hold out a full, cold open water bottle to her, because one second Haruka’s sitting up and the next she’s passed out. Her head landed in Minori’s chest, knocking back her hand, leading the water to fall and spill on the floor.
“W–Wwwwwahhhh!” Minori exclaims as her hands hover awkwardly. “H–Haruka-chan!? Are you…? Uh!” She squeals as she looks from the water, to the head against her chest.
Minori gulps nervously as she slowly rests Haruka back against the bed and finds a towel to help clean up the water that has been absorbed into the rug. Minori was unsure if Haruka was okay though. So once she was finished, she ran outside in the hallway to the room next door and knocked on it frantically.
“AIRI-CHANNN!” Minori nearly screams but fixes her tone when a housekeeper passes her by and gives her a look. “Airi-channn” She whispers this time.
After a few seconds, a thud and the sound of the door unlocking. From a small crack Minori sees Airi. She’s covering herself with a blanket as she’s panting and sweating. Her usual small pigtails were let loose. “Yea–Yeah what is it?” She asks out of breath.
“Uuuuu! Haruka-chan passed out! I don’t know what to do…!” Minori feels the tears prick at her eyes.
Airi groans and rolls her eyes. “Minori, I’m kind of busy right now. She’ll be fine…just…give her water and let her sleep it off.” She frantically says as she keeps glancing back inside with a smile as she heard. “Oh Airi-channn~!”
Minori frowns as she steps back. “O…kayyy…?”
Airi nods before she closes the door. As Minori was about to go back inside she suddenly heard a muffled creak and thud. Then a few more after that and the blood rushed to her cheeks. ‘Wow…’ was all she could think. She didn’t want to witness that. Definitely not.
Was she a bit jealous because that wasn’t her and Haruka? Maybe just the tiniest bit, but even thinking about seeing Haruka like that? Minori’s sure she could just die right then and there.
Once she got back in the room, she helped change Haruka into her pajamas and then changed herself. She tucked them in and turned off the light. Hopefully she could get to sleep with all this “Commotion” in the next room.
The next morning, when Haruka woke up to birds chirping and the worst headache and nausea she’s ever had.
What even happened last night…?
