Left Behind (With Arawn_Bheur)

[Tettere]

 

Name: Kohaku Sato

Age: 23 years old

 

Driving through the familiar streets of his hometown, Kohaku was suddenly brought back after hearing that his younger brother, Dai, had been getting into too much trouble recently. Lightly tapping his fingers on the steering wheel, he stared at the stoplight as he waited for it to turn green. He didn't understand what happened. For him, his brother had always been such a kind kid and he seemed to follow him around like a small little puppy. Taking in a deep breath, he then slowly exhaled, wondering if he could in any way help his brother. Once the light turned green, he sped onward towards his home. Running his fingers through his brown hair, he lightly hummed to himself.

 

He had gone to a few cities over to go to a different university to pursue the degree he wanted. He had just disappeared as soon as he could so that he could get it done and over with. Slowing the car to a stop, he looked at the double story home and tilted his head to the side before smiling. It had been a long time since he had came home. Nothing had seemed to change. A smile was brought onto his lips and heading around to the trunk of the car, he took his suitcase out and headed up the pathway to the door. He was soon welcomed by his parents and as his father took his suitcase upstairs, he could hear him calling Dai to come down and greet him.

 

He could feel his heart pound against his chest. He was nervous and worried all the same. He honestly loved the little brother that had used to just follow him around, calling his name. He had the feeling that those times wouldn't be coming again. His eyes lightly narrowed at the thought but turning his head to look at his mother, he lightly smiled. "You look well mother." he said to her, feeling her arms around his neck. Kohaku had missed his parents, his family, his home. He had been too engrossed in his studying to have come back. Then this window of opportunity had come up and he couldn't let it go.

Name: Dai Sato

Age: 18

Dai heard his parents calling him and he scowled slightly as he took out the earplugs before setting up his iPod. He took his sweet time as he got ready to go down to see his brother. He really didn't want to see him after all these years. He was surprised the guy had even come home when asked to. Oh yeah, come home when your brother shows up escorted by cops but don't come home for anything important like summer holidays. The thought of that just irritated him further and kicked an empty can across his untidy room.

 

There was a part of him that wanted to see his brother, but overall he was irritated with him and didn't want to see him. When he couldn't procrastinate any longer he left the room and trudged downstairs to where his parents were with Kohaku. He stopped two stairs before the floor, just watching his brother with a slightly cold expression.

 

"Hi," he said rather curtly, earning a look from his mom, but he didn't really care at the moment. His brother had certainly changed in the last five years.

[Tettere]

Kohaku could hear footsteps coming down the stairs and looking up, he could see Dai. As they stopped talking, he tilted his head to the side and gave his little brother a smile as he said hi. At least he was talking to him. "Hey Dai." He said to him. Turning back to their parents, he smiled a bit more. "I'll be upstairs. I'm a bit tired." He told them. Slowly walking towards the stairs, he stopped at the bottom of the stairs to look at him. "Would you mind if I come into your room to talk?" he asked him, tilting his head to the side.

 

He wanted to just know what his brother had done that ended up getting him escorted home by the cops. He wanted to know why he was acting out. Apparently it had been going on for a while. Putting his hands in his pockets, he wanted them to get past all this so that he could lead a good life. Kohaku didn't want to see him like this. The way he acted towards him was completely opposite of what it used to be. His lips slightly thinned at the thought but it quickly reverted back to a neutral state. In his eyes, the two looked very alike now. He couldn't tell if they were the same height or not being on different levels of the stairs but they nearly had the same hair cut. After thinking about it for a moment, he took a hand out of his pocket before stepping forward and onto the stair lower then the one Dai was on.

 

Reaching up, he ran his fingers through the young man's hair. "Or would you prefer to talk in my room like we used to when we were younger?" he asked, looking him in the eye. The bangs had obscured his ability to see his eyes. Pushing them back, he could still see the young face of his brother. It was a bit heartwarming.

[Arawn_Bheur]

Dai shrugged slightly at being asked if Kohaku could come into his room. "If you want," he answered, not really caring and it reflected in his tone. He wasn't going to act thrilled to see his brother when he wasn't. He might have been thrilled if it had happened even six months ago, but it hadn't. To him, his brother leaving quite abruptly was unforgivable and it was painful. The thought still brought a scowl to his face. The look lightened up just a little bit when Kohaku touched his hair, but he quickly drew back.

 

"Whatever room you want," he said as he turned his back on his brother to start up the stairs, tucking his hands into his pocket. He led the way to Kohaku's bedroom. It was cleaner than his and he had things in there he'd rather his brother didn't see. He shouldn't have cared about what Kohaku thought and he would never admit it, even to himself, but he did. He opened Kohaku's door and flicked on the light before walking inside, not caring if it was rude to enter first. He took a seat on the edge of the bed, eyes flickering around the room. It had been awhile since he had been in here. He remembered talking and playing with his brother here, but that was all in the past. Now there wasn't the joy or happiness, just an intense dislike and hurtful feeling. His eyes moved back to his brother and he waited patiently for him to speak.

[Tettere]

Kohaku had studied his brother's actions carefully and seeing the change of look in his eyes, he knew that he was still quite the same. He lightly smiled at this and feeling him draw back, he was a bit disappointed. When told that any room was fine, he followed behind him. This was certainly new. He was now following behind his younger brother. He lightly chuckled at this. Once led to his bedroom, he glanced at the closed door of Dai's and he couldn't help but wonder what was behind it. It probably had changed over the years.

 

Entering his room, he found that it had remained unchanged. Looking at Dai as he sat on the edge of his bed, he smiled. Judging from the ways he acted, he had no intention of acting any more friendly with him at the moment. Closing the door behind him, he pulled the chair by his desk to sit in front of him. Looking at him for a moment, he was silent briefly before sighing. "Dai. What did you do to be escorted by the police to the house?" He asked him. Kohaku was genuinely worried for the condition of his brother. He was being rebellious at an important time of his life. He needed to be in college but hearing from his parents, he didn't seem to have any thought for something like that.

[Arawn_Bheur]

Dai watched Kohaku pull the chair over to sit in front of him, the slightest scowl evident and it only deepened at the question. What did his brother care? He hadn't shown any interest in him since leaving for college. He figured he could be being a little unfair since college was undoubtedly hard, but he honestly couldn't find it in him to care about that. Not right and maybe not ever. Gone was the kid that had followed his brother around. That kid had died when his brother had left for college.

 

"Why's it matter to you?" he asked, tone a little cool as he watched his brother with slightly narrowed eyes. He could be more polite, but he wasn't inclined to. Kohaku should just go back to college and go about ignoring him like he had been the last few years. It wouldn't back a difference to how he felt towards his older brother.

[Tettere]

It was evident that his brother was unhappy with him but he couldn't blame him. He had felt that there needed to be a distance between them. He hadn't seen his brother show an interest in anyone else but him and it had bothered him. Maybe the feeling of overtaking his brother's life. That was possibly a reason why he had stayed in college so long. They just needed that space, though, after seeing the outcome, it made him feel a bit uncomfortable. He slightly squirmed in the chair but lifting his eyes, he looked at Dai as he watched the scowl deepen. Kohaku lightly chewed on his lip but he let it go while he exhaled.

 

At his question, he just shook his head, letting out a sigh. "I'm your older brother Dai. And I want to know what happened." he stated. Reaching out with his right hand, he lightly brushed the male's hair away from his face. "You've changed quite a bit Dai. In both looks and attitude. I remember the times you would run after me calling my name." He said as he laughed. "Though, you're not a child anymore. Even though I have no right to meddle in your business any longer, if you are causing enough trouble for the law to be involved, it is also my problem now." he stated, his eyes darkening just a bit to show his seriousness.

[Arawn_Bheur]

Dai brushed aside Kohaku's hand when his brother brushed aside his hair, giving his brother a look of warning. The gentle touches irritated him further and made him feel mildly uncomfortable because of his attitude towards his brother and he didn't like feeling guilty at this time. The anger was a safe feeling for him. To let go meant letting go of a lot more and opening the gates to the hurt he felt.

 

"It was nothing, just a prank," he said with a shrug, eyes glancing away from his brother momentarily. It hadn't really been nothing. It involved tagging a rather well-known person's house, possession, and attempted theft. His parents had somehow managed to keep charges from being pressed, which was good for him because otherwise he'd probably be sitting in jail. But his brother didn't need to know any of that.

[Tettere]

Lightly frowning when he brushed his hand away, he knew that he probably had no right to be touching him so familiarily but he couldn't help it. He couldn't see his eyes and he wanted to. He just didn't like it when he couldn't look in the people's eyes that he was talking to. While his eyes remained him, he heard him answer but it seemed old habits couldn't die. Kohaku knew he was lying and it was all with the turn of a head. He suppressed a smile and reaching out with both hands, he held his brother's face, forcing him to look at him.

 

"You're lying. Whenever you lie to me, you look away. Look me in the eye and tell me. What did you do?" he asked him sternly. He was becoming more and more like his old self. He couldn't stop himself from being his usual friendly self to a brother that always looked after people, even if he hadn't seen Dai for 5 years. Searching his face, he waited for an answer from him.

[Arawn_Bheur]

Dai's eyes widened slightly in mild shock when Kohaku forced him to look at him. He hadn't been expecting it at all. He was tempted to answer, but then everything he felt flared and he forced Kohaku's hands away from his face. "Don't touch me," he said coldly as he stood, bristling with anger and hurt. "You don't get to be friendly or do any of these things."

 

He turned to walk quickly for the door before the anger could give way to the hurt he felt at being abandoned. "You left me. You don't get to be a brother," he said, tone icy now as he opened the door. Before Kohaku could answer, he left the room, slamming the door shut before heading to his room. He shut his door, wishing for a lock but his parents had never liked locks on the door. He flopped down on his bed, pulling his iPod over and putting in the earbuds. He turned the music on loud as he opened his window. He flicked the light off as he grabbed a cigarette from his drawer and lighting it. He was careful to smoke next to the window so the smoke could go outside. His parents would flip over it never mind that he had done worse over the years.

 

At the moment, he was too upset to care. He was trying to drown everything out with the music and the warm smoke of the cigarette.

[Tettere]

Kohaku stared into his eyes but when he felt him force his hands away, he frowned at his statement and yet, he could feel the aura he was emanating. It wasn't a kind one, nor was it something he liked. He tensed just a bit but hearing the words from his brother, it did hurt. He lightly cringed at the words but when he was told that he didn't get to be a brother, he wanted to say something but he already had left. He sat there for a moment, letting out a sigh before dropping his head. What had he done? Was it honestly for Dai's own good that he had left or for his own? He knew the answer but he didn't want to think about it. While sitting there for a moment, he ran his fingers through his hair, thinking about how much his brother had grown. He lightly laughed, regretting just a bit that he hadn't watched him grow.

 

Taking his phone out, he looked at the time. It was about thirty minutes more till he had to meet with a group of friends that wanted to see him. Apparently one of them owned a bar now. He stood up from his chair and headed out the door. Walking to Dai's room, he only opened it a crack, seeing him on the bed, smoking. He knew he was old enough but he felt that he was still too young to be doing these things. Watching him for a moment, he figured he could give him some space for now. Closing the door, Kohaku headed down the stairs and looked into the living room for his parents. "I'll be back later possibly. Don't wait up on me." he said to them. They just smiled and nodded, telling him to go have fun. "Bye." He said with a wave before leaving the house. Once on the sidewalk, he looked up at the open window that seemed to lead to Dai's room.

 

Taking out his phone, he decided to send a text to his brother. 'Hey. Don't burn the house down okay?' he texted before chuckling. It might get his brother even more angry but he just wanted to have a bit of fun with him. Pocketing his phone, he headed towards the bar with a large amount of mixed feelings.

 

-----

 

Time had passed and by the time Kohaku had stumbled home, his parents were up in their room asleep. The male was very drunk, probably the influence of his friends. His head was spinning and his eyes were a bit obscured. Locking the door, he managed to stumble into the living room, knocking over a few things along the way, causing quite a noise, and laid himself on the couch. "I...definitely drank too much." he muttered to himself. The man had faced a bit of punishment for leaving everyone behind but they had done everything in good fun. Letting out a sigh, he closed his eyes, feeling a bit sick. Even when drunk he seemed to be able to maintain his composure. Maybe in ten minutes he would head back to his room.

[Arawn_Bheur]

Dai glanced at his phone when he felt it vibrate on the bed. He hesitated a moment before flipping it open to read the message. It irritated him a little bit because his brother had left without saying good bye, but at the same time it made him smile just a little bit. He sighed softly, exhaling the smoke before grinding out the cigarette into the small ash tray he had on the window sill.

 

Promise not to.

 

He sent the message before flipping the phone shut and setting it on his night stand before tucking away the cigarettes, fingers just lightly brushing the less illicit item within the drawer. He was tempted, but he shut the drawer and went back to staring out the window, watching the moon move across the night sky. He rested his head on his arms, sighing a little bit. He needed to relax and try to think properly, but it was hard knowing his brother was back. He'd probably find a way out of the house that night to go do something to relieve some steam.

 

==

 

30 minutes later, he had sneaked out of his room's window, using the drain pipe to get to the ground. He patted his jacket to make sure he had his wallet, cigarettes, lighter, and cell phone before shifting his bag on his back. He walked quietly down the sidewalk, delving further into the city towards an area he knew with some untagged walls. Once he was there, he dropped his bag in the shadows and he grabbed out the black paint spray that would serve for the outline, debating briefly what to paint before he got to work.

[Tettere]

While he laid there for a moment, he managed to regain some of his mind. He got up from the bed and slowly headed up the stairs. Kohaku held onto the railing to keep himself steady and when he reached the top, he looked at his brother's room for a moment. He lightly knocked on the door, waiting for a response. "You awake Dai?" he asked quietly and without an answer, he slowly opened the door. Seeing the room empty, he stood there a bit dumbfounded but then he clicked his tongue. It seemed like he had to go on a wild goose chase now.

 

Grabbing a jacket this time, he draped it over him as he headed out the door, nearly falling. His head was still spinning but he was slowly getting his balance back. Taking his phone out, he didn't know if he'd answer but he'd have to find him before he got himself into more trouble. 'Where are you?' he texted to him before heading deeper into the city. Kohaku had to guess that Dai was around there somewhere. The lights were near blinding for him and his eyes lightly squinted. Leaning against a building, he decided he would wait there for an answer and if not, he would continue searching.

[Arawn_Bheur]

Dai wiped the sweat off of his forehead with the back of his hand as he stared up at his work, smiling just a little bit. It wasn't a bright and cheery piece, but it was perfect for his mood. He frowned slightly when he felt his phone buzz. He pulled it out and looked at the text message, scowling slightly.

 

Out. Be home in the morning.

 

He tucked away the phone before grabbing the blue spray and getting back to work. His other hand held a flashlight so he could see better as he let the spray work in creating a softer appearance, letting it work to help get out all of the pain he felt at his brother leaving for college. He worked quickly, but quietly. It would probably take him another 30 minutes to finish and then he'd head to the bar, maybe find a guy, and then he'd be home in the morning after the alcohol had worn off.

[Tettere]

Kohaku gritted his teeth at the message that was sent by Dai and he just let out a few small curses under his breath. Moving himself off of the wall, he started to search once again. Even after searching for a while, he had no sense of finding him. Out of breath and sweating now, he took off the jacket, wiping the sweat off of his brow. This was getting ridiculous. Normally he would have just waited for his brother to come home but he didn't know what sort of trouble he was getting himself into. Taking in deep breaths, he lightly pulled against his shirt to let cool air between his skin and the fabric. Closing his eyes for a moment, he wished that he could find a way to find his brother. As he continued to walk, he found himself wandering into an isolated area. He had gone quite deep into the city, it definitely wasn't a place that most would want to be.

 

His eyes lightly narrowed and he caught sight of a small glowing object. As he neared it, he saw a familiar figure. Quickly stepping towards him, he put his hand on his shoulder before he gripped it. "What are you doing Dai?" he asked in a low, calm voice. That wasn't usually a nice voice to be hearing from him. Glancing at the wall, his eyes narrowed. Kohaku rarely got angry but there were times when he would be. It could be deadly for people but to his brother, he wasn't even sure what he could do to him.

[Arawn_Bheur]

Dai jumped slightly at the hand on his shoulder. He had gotten caught up in his work so he hadn't heard Kohaku come up behind him. He shrugged off his brother's hand, bristling a little at the tone and at the same time feeling just a touch guilty at being caught doing this. It was illegal and he knew that, but it was also relieving and something private that he wasn't fond of sharing with people -- at least when he was working on it.

 

"What's it look like I'm doing?" he asked, shooting a glare at Kohaku before looking back at his work. It looked liked he'd have to finish it later since his brother had come and ruined the promises of a good night. He moved and put up the nearly empty spray can before grabbing his bag. "What're you doing here? Shouldn't be with some friend or at home?"

[Tettere]

Feeling him jump under his hand, his eyes lightly narrowed as he watched him. Kohaku wasn't sure what Dai was thinking but just the feeling he was getting from him was complicated. When he glared at him, he just rolled his eyes and looking at what he had done, his eyes narrowed a bit. He was definitely not too happy about it. When asked what he was doing there, he sighed. "I would be but I had to go find a pain in the city." He stated. Of course, he didn't care what the male said. He still saw him as his little brother and that would be his responsibility.

 

Grabbing the male's wrist, he looked at him for a moment before leading the way. "We're going home before you can get into anymore trouble." He told him. "Mom and dad said if you were caught doing anything bad again it results in jail time." That was all that he had been given information wise, anything else they told him he'd have to get it out of Dai's mouth. Kohaku wondered if this all really was his fault. What did he have to tell him, do for him to have to understand why he did it? He hadn't explained it to him but he doubted that he would listen. Even if he wanted to tell him, it would be a confession. A forbidden confession. One that he did not want to think about or even say aloud in front of even his closest friends. Lightly wincing as his head just stung, he lightly hit his head with the palm of his hand. He needed some sleep before he would end up just throwing up from the sheer nauseous feeling he was getting.

[Arawn_Bheur]

Dai's eyes narrowed slightly as his wrist was caught and Kohaku started to lead him home. He jerked his hand out of his brother's grip, irritation flaring at his brother treating him like a kid. He wasn't a kid anymore and he wasn't going to be treated like one. However, he noticed the wince and his brother's movements.

 

"I'll follow you home so you can go get some sleep, but I'm not staying home," he said as he tucked his hands in his pockets. He wasn't going to stay put in the house, not when his brother was there and seemed determined to ruin his night. No, he was going to go to the bar, get wasted, bed some guy, and then sleep off the hangover that would probably happen.

[Tettere]

Feeling the hand yanked away, he looked at him for a moment and he knew he was hitting soft spots. He treated him the same and yet, Dai treated him differently. There was a conflict between the two in how they acted. When told he would follow him home, he frowned before shaking his head. "Not going to go home until you are for sure staying home." He stated as he stopped walking. He was being stubborn but Kohaku was determined to make sure that he was home. Running his fingers through his hair, he looked around their surroundings for a moment before turning his eyes towards Dai.

 

"Either you come home and stay there or I follow you around." he stated. "Your choice." He had a once over over Dai's body, making a few assumptions of how he was built. He could probably keep up with him if he started to run. Though, it had been a while since he had a good evaluation of strength between him and his brother. Kohaku wondered how much of a difference it was now. Though, he was starting to get sleepy. Despite having a hardened will, it seemed whenever he was drunk, he would just go to sleep an hour or two later. It was always a problem for his friends, mostly because there were advances towards him all the time. Shaking it off, he closed his eyes briefly before opening them to glance over the raven haired male.

[Arawn_Bheur]

"Sorry, guys generally don't want someone who's being followed around," Dai answered, tone and words aimed to at least irritate his brother just like how he was being irritated by Kohaku. He watched his brother's behavior and he could tell that Kohaku seemed tired. Drinking could do that to some people. He hadn't fully expected his brother to be like that, but he also hadn't expected his brother to try to follow him around and try to convince him to go back home.

 

"So, you can go home. I'd rather like to get wasted, fuck someone, and then hit the hay," he added with a shrug, hands still tucked in his pockets. He really didn't need to tell his brother this, but he wasn't in the nicest of moods. He wasn't in the mood to play nice with his brother when his alone time had been interrupted.

[Tettere]

Kohaku lightly smiled. "Well, isn't that what I'm aiming for?" He asked as he chuckled. Letting out a yawn, he heard him state that he could go home. He let out a sigh and figured it really was no use to talk to him. Walking up to him, looked at him for a moment. There was a near urge for him to say so many things but instead he let out a sigh, reaching out to him, giving him a quick hug. It honestly felt like everything was his fault. After just a few seconds of staying like that, he pulled away slightly. "I'm sorry." He muttered to him. That was all he could say at the moment. His brother placed all the blame on him and that was all he could tell him. He knew it just from just the moment he had arrived. Pulling away, he managed to hail a taxi.

 

"Just be careful when you can." He said as he waved without looking back. He was tired, tired from drinking and tired from this little job that his parents had given him. Entering the taxi, he gave the instructions towards the house. Leaning his head back against the headrest, he closed his eyes. Kohaku wondered what he could do tomorrow. Maybe invite his brother to eat? He didn't seem to want anything to do with him though. Only way of communication between the two that didn't involve him getting mad at him seemed to be by text message. Letting out a sigh, he felt the taxi come to a stop. He gave the driver the money and heading to his room, he fell onto the bed with a sigh. He just couldn't stay awake too much longer.

[Arawn_Bheur]

Dai blinked a little in confusion at the hug, feeling distinctly awkward and taken back by it. There was also the feeling of guilt over how he treated his brother....He shoved the feelings aside as his brother let him go. "Night," he said when his brother got into the cab. He watched the taxi take off, sighing softly. He was at a complete loss as what to do. He probably should head home, but a portion of him said not to do that...The rebellious side that didn't want to give in to his brother. His feet took him to a bar he knew well as he mulled over his brother. He stopped outside of it and stared up at the sign.

 

After a few minutes, he turned back around and headed home. He'd lost the urge to do anything self-destructive that night. He quickly clambered up the pipe to get to his window, trying to be quiet as he came inside, but he wound up slipping and falling over the nightstand and landing on the floor. He cursed softly as he sat there, rubbing his back before tucking the bag under his bed. His nose wrinkled slightly from the movement before he started to strip off his clothes. He wasn't tired, though, so he sat on the bed, hoping he hadn't woken any up with his loud movements. He softly rubbed his back again, knowing it was probably going to bruise.

 

"Good going, klutz," he mumbled before laying on his bed and staring up at the ceiling, watching the shadows dance across it. He could have been pleasantly drunk by now, but instead he was being a good boy. Fantastic.

[Tettere]

Kohaku had slept till the next morning, waking early in the morning. His sleep had been disrupted by the need to rush to the bathroom. After spending time in there and coughing, he found it hard to get up. Instead, he laid his head on the edge of the bowl for a moment, unable to react before standing up when he felt that he wasn't able to bring out more. Washing his face at the sink, he rinsed out his mouth as well. He felt absolutely terrible and as he slowly walked out of the bathroom, he stumbled a bit to the side before hitting the wall with a thud. To his knowledge, his parents were probably off at work. Leaning against the wall for a moment, he wondered if Dai was awake yet. He didn't bother trying to knock on his room and slowly sliding his way down the stairs, he sighed.

 

The university student wasn't used to getting drunk and usually when he did, he regretted it. He would feel horrible and just not wanting to move. Though, he needed to get rid of the pounding headache. Looking through the cabinets, he found some pills and quickly taking them, he sat at the dining room table, putting his head on it. Maybe instead of making food he could go for a restaurant. Taking his phone from his pocket, not wanting to go back up the stairs just yet, he let out a small groan. 'Want to go to a restaurant for breakfast? My treat." he texted to Dai. He wasn't even sure if he was home or not yet. He found it much easier to talk to him more naturally through text message. Mainly because he wouldn't have to get angry at the look and attitude he usually was given.

[Arawn_Bheur]

Dai looked up when he heard a thud out on the wall. It sounded like Kohaku was up and probably a bit hung over. He buttoned his pants and threw on a shirt before getting socks and shoes on. He ruffled up his hair which had already dried from the shower he had taken quite early in the morning. He hadn't slept well so he spent most of the night reading or smoking or bother to pass the time. He arched an eyebrow when he heard his phone vibrate and he opened the message. It amused him a little bit his brother sent a text message.

 

He didn't answer the text as he left his room, packing his cigarettes in his pocket along with his lighter and wallet. He walked down the stairs and into the living room. "Drink more water while drinking and you won't have a hangover," he said as he plopped down at the table, tone a little terse but his brother obviously wasn't feeling well so he was trying to be civil. "And breakfast sounds fine. Where would you like to go?"

[Tettere]

Keeping his head on the table, he felt a bit better without having to keep his head up. He heard footsteps and when he heard his little brother lecturing about drinking, he lightly pouted. "Shut up." He whined, though it was to show to not be taken seriously. Closing his eyes, he was mainly concentrated on not throwing up again. He opened his eyes to see that Dai was at the table with him and he smiled. "How about you choose. I don't care where we go." he muttered. Kohaku closed his eyes for a moment before lifting his head. His eyes remained closed a bit, his body slightly swaying. He was trying to compose himself but it was definitely getting increasingly difficult.

 

Slowly opening his eyes, he exhaled slowly. "I'm so horrible after I wake up drunk." he said as he laughed. "My friends tell me that I'm pretty hopeless when I get drunk. I get really sleepy so when we're in public, I'm an easy target for people to take me with them." Laughing at this, he sighed. "And then when I wake up, I'm pretty much useless in the first hour." Kohaku yawned, feeling a bit better. "Whenever you want, let's go drinking. I won't tell mom or dad and there's a bar a friend of mine owns that we can go to. He won't mind about your age or anything." He wanted to get closer and he figured that first he could give bits of choices.
