~~~Drunk & Exhausted~~~

Ash's POV

"Dude, we are here! Now get your smelling ass out of my car."

"Thanks, Bro!" I responded, before wobbly stepping out of his black Mazda CX-05. "By the way, I barfed."

"Ach man, that's fucking disgusting!"

"Your fault!" I defended with a slight hick."If you hadn't bet against that chick, me not drunk, you fucking pussy!"

"Go fuck yourself!" He raged, I could sense that he was glaring at me through those sunglasses. It isn't even summer!

"Will do!" I turned around, blinking when I had to balance myself. The whole building was swaying, everything was. "See you tomorrow!"

"You better bring that hot girl you talked about." He yelled behind me.

"Not for you!" I finally got a grip on the handle, but almost tripped as the door flew open.

My breath was the underlying cause of the smell of alcohol that entered my nostrils, and my mouth burned from the amount of alcohol that I poured down my throat. Fucking asshole and that stupid bet! He dragged me into that stupid chicks bet because he was the one driving! Each time he lost, I had to drink and each time it seemed like a better and better idea that he would win. It fucking was not!

My eyes swivelled towards the back of my head in a distressed sense of a headache as I pushed the button of the elevator. I groaned and leaned my head against the door split.

Time to spend my free days with a headache. Yay...

The door suddenly split open, not counting on it. I fell straight forward on to the ground, my cheek throbbed with pain as I groaned. FUCK! The door closed behind me as I sat up, leaning my head under the button panel.

"Aaa!" I yelled, grabbing my head feeling like my head is ripped out of my body and is thrown into a freaking washing machine.

Oh God, I'm going to have a total hangover tomorrow!

Fuck you, Nathan! Fuck you!

I hit my fist above my head against the panel. I think I might have slammed on five random buttons, instead of the right damn one!

Finally getting to the right floor, I staggered my way down the hall, one hand on the nearest wall to support myself from falling. Almost reaching my door, I stopped and for the longest time, I stared at the floor, seeing a body laying against my door.

What the hell?! Did that asshole drug me too?!

I groaned and slumped my way over to the door, nope, wasn't hallucinating and neither did the alcohol infected my brain. I looked down and saw a girl, a dog and a backpack all lying next to each other. The dog was awake and looked up at me while laying her head on the girl's lap. I nudged her with my foot, she moved her head and I shit my pants.

White cracked her knuckles and gave me the evil eye, "Don't fuck this up or I'll personally kill you!"

I fucked up.

I fucked up really bad.

Why in the world is Sere sleeping in front of my apartment?! If she waited for me that long, no need White to kill me, I'll kill myself.

I crunched down carefully and bluntly said, "Hé, wake up!"

Guess what?

Her eyes snapped open in an instant and she hit me full on my head, causing my head to meet with the door. I fell on my butt and held my head on both sides, feeling the extreme pounding and piercing pain shoots through my skull which may or may not be fucked up right now.

"Shit!" I yelled, slightly opening my eye to look at Sere who put a huge distance between us. Her eyes were wide and she seemed to be out of breath. Did I really scare her that much?

"Oh, it's just you." She breathed out, putting a hand on her chest. She crawled over to me and put a hand on my head. If it wasn't for the fact I was so drunk that it felt numb, it would've hurt. And I wouldn't have felt my hormones kicking in for God's sake!

"Sorry, does it hurt?"

I shook my head, making the pounding pain in my head worse, but nevertheless, I pouted at her, "Do I smell that bad or something?"

She sniffed a little, she scrunched her nose and waved the air, "My god do you smell bad, it's burning my nose."

"That's- "I hiccuped. "mean."

"Are you-" She narrowed her eyes at me."-drunk?"

I grinned at her and swayed a little, "Drunk enough to know, your Sere."

She frowned a little, her eyes still being a little drowsy. "How many?"

I hiccuped again and replied, "Dunno."

She yawned, putting a hand in front of her mouth. Causing her eyes to seem watery. Her eyes seemed heavy, I furrowed my brows at her and pointed at her face, "You sleepy?"

"A lit-"

"You slept on the floor. Why?" I frowned, she went silent for a moment, but she did go a little red. "You waited for me?"

She adverted eye contact and I grinned at her embarrassment.

I tapped her nose, "Gotcha,"

She smiled, but immediately yawned afterwards. It caused me to yawn too and accept the fact that this whole day has drained the energy out of me. "Contagious, isn't it?"

"Mmm," I hummed in agreement, closing my eyes for a moment as she stood up while grabbing her stuff off the ground. Lady walked to me and nudged my shoulder, I smiled a little.

"Stand up, Ash." She laughed a little as I was swaying on the ground. "You can't sleep on the ground."

"You did," I yawned again and reached my arms up. "Help meh~"

She took my wrists and helped me stand up. I stood up and leaned my head on her head, smelling the strawberry scent from her hair. My arms hanging loosely on my sides. "Mm, your hair smells good."

"Creep much," She grinned. "Where's the key?"

"Jacket, I think." I mumbled, "It makes me hungery."

She huffed in amusement and put her hand in my right pocket, then my left pocket. "Can't find it."

"Inside pocket," I muttered, still feeling the piercing pain go through my head. I responded, again, "Inside pocket."

"Gee, how convenient." She reached her hand into my jacket and searched for it by touch, her hands also touched my chest and I had to control the sudden adrenaline for whatever my sick mind thought at that moment. She pulled out the keys, "Found it."

She opened the door and we weirdly tried to walk towards the bedroom, letting Lady join Yellow on his bed. She dropped her bag on the floor and I plopped down on the bed. Looking at her as she took a plastic bag out. "What's that?"

"It supposed to be dinner, but I guess it is going to be lunch." She walked out of the room, I looked around. My room was clean, except for THE CHAIR, where I literally throw everything on. And there's where I threw my jacket and shirt. I stand up, just to fall back down on the bed in an unbalanced attempt to walk to the bathroom. I sighed.

"You okay?" Sere asked as she walked into the room. The mattress sunk into her weight as she took a seat next to me, it wasn't close but it wasn't far either.

"You wait," I frowned, looking down at my hands feeling extremely sad. "I ditched you."

"No, big de-"

"It is!" I frowned deeper and hiccuped afterwards as I looked at her. "I'm horrible friend."

"Hé, hé, hé, don't start going that way." She rubbed my arm, it was obvious that she is feeling really uncomfortable with drunk me, let stand the fact she can deal with someone who is this drunk. "It's not your fault."

I growled at her, looking into her eyes "Stop being so nice!"

Her eyes widened a little. "What?"

"Stop. Being. Nice." I roared, all of a sudden feeling incredibly frustrated. "Be mad, hit me, do somewhing!"

"Okay, Ash, you're obviously way too drunk and tired now." She commented as she removed her hand and leaned her hand on the mattress. "You need to lay down and rest."

"No," I shook my head, clasping her cold hands in mine. Rubbing my thumb over her skin. Sternly staring into her eyes as she looked at me in utter confusion. Well, tried to look at it with the best focus I could, but I think my face would have looked like Trump then.

"No?" she questioned with her eyebrow slightly raised.

"No, lissen ta me," I blurted out, taking one hand to point at her face. " I yelled at you, then barged into your house. Then ai didn't talk to you for days, told you to come then ditched you! "I hiccuped again." For fuck's sake if that doesn't make me a bad friend or make you angry then wut?!"

She looked at me with confused eyes and open mouth. And then laughed out loud, bending over in the process. She put a hand in front of her mouth to muffle it and then said, "Woah, you totally got wasted, didn't you."

"Please, take meh seriously!" I hiccuped again. This is annoying as hell! "Goddammit!"

"I can't." She laughed.

"Why not?" I looked at her desperately, trying to get her to take me seriously even in this fucked-up state.

"Because everything you said, doesn't describe," She gestured to me. "you."

I blinked. "Why not?"

"I just told you." She took her hand back and lay them back down on her lap. "It's weird seeing you like this, but it is funny, though. It really is."

"Funwy?" I mumbled and started swaying a little bit forward. "you're really pretty."

"Yeah, sure." She rolled her eyes and sighed. "You're going to be a pain in the ass tomorrow."

I let out an exasperated sigh and looked at her as she smiled while rubbing her right eye. I leaned forward and lay my chin on her shoulder, closing my eyes as I did. "Why are you so amazing?"

She sighed again and patted my back, "I'm not, okay."

"For me you ure." I lay my head sideways, facing her neck. "You always were."

"Oi, idiot!" She scowled as she poked my side." You're breathing in my neck and you're not supposed to say that."

I 'accidentally' let out a long sigh on her neck, before turning back to face the door. "Why not?"

"It makes me feel, I don't know," She shrugged. "uncomfortable."

"Mmkay," I said, pulling back looking at her face. And with my eyes closed, I slurred out, "Ah'm sowwy."

What the fuck was that?!

She laughed while looking down at her hands, rubbing her wrist where used to be her special bracelet. I reached for my drawer, slightly leaning over Sere and grabbed the bracelet out.

She gaped at it in total surprise and looked up at me. I rubbed the back of my neck, glad that the drunkness already made my face red so it didn't notice. "H-how- you- what?"

"Heyyyyyy," I grinned as I placed it in her hand. "here."

She smiled brightly and hugged me. "Thank you,"

I hiccuped and hugged her back. And softly whispered, with a tiny slur, "I missed you~"

"Me too, but" She pulled back, pinching her nose with a distasteful look. "Please, go wash up, you smell awful."

"Not only me," I mumbled as I warly stood up.

"What did you say?" She questioned, glaring at me.

"Nothing," I slurred, hiccuping again.

"Just go!" She commended.

"Aye sir~," I laughed and slowly wobbled my way to the bathroom.

Great, now she thinks I'm a freak.

I clumsy opened the bathroom door and just when I was about to close it, I heard it. I heard the spontaneous outburst of laughter coming from my room, through her giggles and laughs I even heard her snort and I couldn't help but stifle a grin.

I closed the door behind me, flipped the tap. Cold water slapped the sink. I grabbed my toothbrush in the cup and picked up the flattened and wrinkled tube of toothpaste. I unscrewed the cap and pressed the neck with my thumb. A little came out, probably the last time I will use this tube. So into the trashcan. I placed the toothbrush in my mouth and vigorously brushed my teeth, tasting the mint flavour of the paste.

As I was brushing my teeth, I looked at the mirror and without bothering about my appearance. I flexed my arm muscles and smirked.

"Yeah, I'm da man."

Finishing with brushing my teeth, I rinsed off my toothbrush and placed it back up in the cup. I let my tongue slide over my teeth and smelled my breath. Ah, fresh. The alcohol scent was gone, but I still have to take a shower. Too tired to take a shower in what I think almost 3 am, I wash my face and stumble my way back to my heavenly soft bed.

But what I found was not too pleasant, I groaned. Why?! Still forgotten that Sere was here and she fell asleep on MY bed. She was just laying there on the fearest end of the bed on her side with her legs curled up. Usually, I don't mind. But I'm drunk, tired and my head is killing me. I don't want to wake up or sleep on that damn couch. Oh hell, No!

And I started contemplating two things: couch or bed.

Couch or bed.

Couch or bed.

Bed or bed.

Fuck it! I'm drunk! And I want to sleep on my bed!
