[ oh

sure ]

i don't remember you putting your mouth on me

i don't remember either ok!!!
i mean i probably didn't!
you'd remember??
i think
well i mean we were both drhinking idk

[ breathe. ok when hiiragi was super touchy maybe he reached for (repeatedly) shouma he was also trying to bury his face in his shoulder or chest or honestly whatever. his neck. does that count. he didn't actually kiss him. and it was probably more annoying than anything else, a touchy koala. of sorts. clingy cat. the most embarrassing thing hiiragi also doesn't remember is asking shouma to say nice things about him. yeah.

but still...it did taste good and lke saying he doesnt want to do tequila again is that the SAME as saying he doesnt like touching shouma? WHY IS HE THINKING LIKE THIS. he literally has his head in his hands til he manages another reply ok ]

but i wasnt feeling super good
maybe i can handle it better this time?

hey hey don't overthink it
i was just kidding
you were touchy but not in that kinda way

[ it's not like hiiragi likes him like that. shizusumi has basically all of his attention and it's better that way, right? ]

i told you i'd be your designated tequila person and i'll stand by that
so if you wanna try again, i'm down for it

[ whew whew whew. and shouma doesn't need to know that hiiragi turns out to be one of those ridiculous people who can be crushing on more than one person at once. it helps (?) that he figures they don't see him like that (#idiot) and well what he's got is already so nice anyway!

....ah. ]

geez
well i'm still sorry
you ended up having to take care of me more cause o fthat

but i think it'll be better this time
and you'll drink with me right?

[ actually he's going to get wasted again but like this will be confirmation that hiiragi can consume considerably less tequila than other things before getting touch y and too talkative. ]

[ instead shouma and shizusumi will go on being jealous and mildly cranky ]

it's not like i minded
you were cute even if you were miserable

but yeah sure i'll drink with you

[ just not to the point he gets wasted along with him. he's got to keep an eye out, after all. ]

[ hiiragi has a type. yuki, who's seen a picture hiiragi quietly snapped of shouma at some point, pointed out as much. ]

i don't remember being miserable...
i guess i figured i was enjoying it
even if the hangover was less fun

[ read: not f un at all compounded by injury recovery but he did it to himself re tequila sooo ]

the hangover was what i meant
you were way worse off

but you did seem like you were having a good time

[ with how much he was openly laughing and being touchy and all. shouma would be lying if he said that alone didn't make it worth it for him. ]

oh ok
that's a relief

i'd hate to think you had me at my worst drunk and sober

[ also he would be even more embarrassed than he is (again) already. his memory is hazy at best: warmth, shouma's smell and touch, the taste of salt sharp against something sweet but he doesn't know what that was. ]

nah you looked happy
think you charmed everyone there even

[ mostly because people can't stop talking about how cute hiiragi is and how shouma should bring him around more often. ]

"everyone"?

[ as good as asking to be praised more but hiiragi is strangely always desperate for love despite receiving much of it. desperate to know he's wanted even though no one has ever said otherwise.... ]

everyone at the bar
even my coworkers when you were sober

[ he's sure they kicked into their "shouma is the worst" spiel whenever he left the table. ]

maybe i can come back before the summer kickoff

AND for your birthday

[ he has not given up apparently.... and if he was hoping shouma would say he was charmed too well thats alright too. maybe! ]

[ to be fair, he's included in the 'everyone at the bar' thing, but he was already charmed well before that. ]

you can crash with me whenever

next time you'll have more fun
you won't have to worry about not feeling great

i'll hold you to that one!!!

🤞

i wish you could come to our show, but also since it's the other family i guess i also want you to not get any extra trouble.

[ he feels bad saying it but it does mean he cares about shouma being a part of the most important thing in his life... ]

[ to be honest, he's probably going to hang out in tokyo the night of the show. maybe just get a hotel room near the venue just in case.

but he's not going to let on to that. it's more than a little crazy. ]

they'd pick me out of the crowd pretty easily
if i showed up, it'd just ruin your show

so just tell me all about it after, yeah?

i'll tell you everything! it'll almost be like you were there :)

[ he is thinking of calling him that night ... leaving his phone on for the performance so at least shouma can hear everything live....maybe it's a stupid idea though ?! ahh... ]

then i won't have to feel like i missed it

yeah...

and maybe you can come to the next one!

i'm not sure that's a good idea after the last time
but i can try to see if i can swing it

hat, mask...glasses? not enough?

ever thought about dying your hair?

[ ok wait though ]

just kidding!

i like how you look already.

huh so like red like yoshino's maybe?
might make me look less boring

[ he would never but he has to mess with him. ]

i mean if you WANT to... i'm the last guy who should stop you

but i really do like your hair. it's nice.

[ nice looking. and soft!

ahhh admittedly shouma would look hot in any color probably.... ]

nah i don't think i'd be able to pull it off like you
or yoshino

[ tacked on as an afterthought. ]

you'd look good in any color

but black looks great for you. doesn't really suit me but you could probably guess that.

[ blonde (and his typical roots) is hardly natural but it feels natural for hiiragi after all these years. ]

nah i like your hair how it is
you look like sunshine

[ leave him alone, he's been working his way through a few beers. but it's the truth that hiiragi is just... bright. ]
