Moscow, Russia

"Vena, open up! Please! I'm freezing!"

"What the-"

"Ignore it. Maybe they'll go away." Druig mumbled pulling me closer and peppered kisses all over my face and jawline. "Besides, I leave in a few hours."

"Vena... please!"

"Is that... Is that Sersi!?" I asked sitting up alarmed and Druig groaned pulling me down. "Druig, if you don't let me go, I swear to the heavens above I'll make you."

"Kinky." He smirked but allowed me to stand up.

"Vena!"

"Я иду. Дай мне минуту. For the love of the Celestials!" I sighed slipping on Druig's shirt and opened the door. "Sersi, it's the like six o'clock and it's cold. What could you possibly-" (I'm coming. Give me a minute.)

"Ikaris left." She choked out and I looked up wide-eyed. "I went to sleep and when I woke up, all his stuff was gone."

"Get your ass inside and away from the cold. I'll go make coffee." I ushered her inside and locked the door. "Druig! Get your ass down here! It's important!"

"Are Deviants back?"

"No."

"Then I'm not moving!"

"Ikaris left Sersi!"

"Give me three minutes. I have to do something first." He yelled and we both heard a thud. "SHIT!"

Sersi and I looked at each other and shook our heads.

"So... coffee?"

"Make it Irish... Very, very Irish."

"Go it."

...

"And then he just left! The bastard!"

"That's actually me, but go on." Druig chuckled trying to take the bottle of whiskey from Sersi. "I think you've had enough."

"Pry this off my hands, and I'll make sure your dick is nonexistent." Sersi grumbled and Druig immediately stepped away.

"There's something that just doesn't sit right with me. I mean, we all know that Ikaris is an asshole, but I never thought that he'd leave like that." I said and Sersi shrugged and drank the rest of the whiskey in one gulp. "Another?"

"I want to get drunk... Why can't I get drunk!?"

"Curse of the immortals, I'm guessing." Druig shrugged and glanced at his watch. "I have to leave now if I want to catch my flight, ladies. The people can only take so much of Makkari before they start missing me."

"It was your last night!? I'm so sorry, guys! I'll just-"

"It's okay, Sersi. We spent four years alone together. It's fine." I assured her and walked towards the door with Druig. "You'll call me when you land?"

"Always do. When can we expect you back?" He asked and I shrugged. "Ten?"

"Maybe. I think I'll stay with Sersi for a bit and then go to Australia to see Mom and Dad before I go back to the village."

"I'll ask Karri when she's going back to Australia and we can all visit together." Druig offered and I nodded hugging him tight. "I love you, my beautiful Vena."

"I love you too, my charming Druig." I smiled once he kissed me and pushed him out the door. "You have a flight to catch."

Druig smiled at me one more time before getting in the rental car and drove to the airport. I sighed closing the door and walked back to the living room where Sersi was wrapped in a blanket and looking at her phone with tears streaming down her face.

"First step of a breakup, handing over your phone." I held out my hand and after a few struggles, she finally handed me her phone. "And the whiskey."

"I loved him, Vena... I just wanted what you and Druig have." She choked out and I sighed sitting next to her. "I wanted my own fairytale."

"Sersi, I love you to death and you're an older sister to me just as Makkari is. But that love turned one sided a long time ago, sweetheart. You lost your value trying to please him and look where that got you? Ikaris hasn't been the same since we all split and you know it more than I do." I said and wiped her tears. "Night's still young and I think there are clubs still open. How about we party like we used to back in Macedonia? Just you and me. I think I have some clothes you can wear."

"And Druig? He won't mind?"

"He doesn't care, Sersi! Druig doesn't control every single aspect of my life. I have my own life and he has his. You should've seen the last time I hung out with Kingo. Seven countries, two months and zero sleep. That man sure knows how to party. And best of all? Druig even joined for a while!" I exclaimed and she perked up for the first time in hours. "So? Want do you say? Want to drink vodka in ten different time zones?"

"Where's the shower?"

"That's my girl!"
