With You

CH. 6 - I'm Sober Now

Yuu opened his eyes and was laying down in the barn the next day with a hangover. He saw Shinoa to the right sitting by his legs, Kimizuki right next to him, Yoichi in between them, Mitsuba behind Shinoa, and Narumi standing behind Kimizuki.

"How are you feeling?" Shinoa asked.

"I'm fine," he answered.

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah, I'm fine," he said looking around the room.

"If you're looking for Mikaela he's outside," she said in a clearly bitter tone.

"I'll go get him," Kimizuki said, about to stand up.

"No, you don't have to," Yuu said.

"Really? I thought he'd be the first one you'd want to see," Kimizuki answered, surprised.

"What? Of course not," Yuu said smiling nervously at Shinoa.

"So is he the last one you want to see?" Kimizuki pushed.

"What? No, ok, I just, I don't care when I see him," Yuu answered annoyed, closing his eyes again and covering them with his arm.

"Ouch," he heard a familiar voice say. A voice he would recognize anywhere, a voice he had memorized, his favorite voice. He immediately uncovered his eyes and looked toward that beautiful voice. He saw Mika leaning against the barn door with his arms crossed, and a smirk on his face.

"You know that's not what I meant," Yuu grinned.

"I know," Mika responded still smirking. He walked over to kneel beside Yuu on his left, opposite Shinoa. "So how are you feeling?"

"Terrible," he sat up. The others noticed how he had told Shinoa he was fine only a few seconds ago and kind of brushed her off. "My head feels... full."

Mika softly knocked on Yuu's head, "Full? You sure about that?" The others smiled along with Mika.

"Oh fuck you," Yuu pouted. Mika laughed, noticing how cute Yuu looked when he did that. "It's not funny. My brain hurts."

"How's that even possible?" Mika smiled.

"I don't know but it does."

"Well that's what you get for getting drunk! The hell were you thinking?!" Mika asked angry now.

"That guy was being a jerk so I wanted to beat him!" Yuu explained.

"Yeah and how'd that work out?"

Yuu sighed, "Sorry."

Mika sighed in response, "Well whatever, you'll be fine eventually."

"Ugh, I feel sick."

"You look sick too." Yuu pouted again at what Mika had said, making his smile return.

"Do you want some water?" Shinoa offered.

"Nah, I don't think I can keep anything down right now."

"Ok," Shinoa put her hand on Yuu's cheek and gave him a peck on the lips. Mika looked away.

"Hey so did I do anything crazy while I was drunk?"

"Umm," they all said as if rehearsed.

"Nope, nothing," Shinoa lied.

"Yeah no, you could barely walk," Mika followed her lead.
