it had been just after the guild arc, even under the hunting dogs, one of the infiltrators, he was basically put at gun point to help with the guild, since the yokohama that was so dear to him.

the place that he adorned, more than anything— had to be saved.

[m/n] sighed softly as he entered mori's office, seeing the other 2 executives— kouyou and chuuya, and mori, holding wine glasses.

"i apologize i'm late, sir mori— where's ace?"

"ah! [m/n]! you made it! just in time! as for ace.. i'm not so sure.. but that's irrelevant. let's have a drink, shall w-"

"if that's what i've been called for, i'll be leaving."

"ah.. [m/n]! don't be such a party poope-"

"never say that again. it's old hearing you say slang and such, sir mori. and now if you please, i'll be leavin-"

"sit."

this command from his "boss" made [m/n] sigh begrudgingly, and sit down in one of the chair with a scowl—- well, more like a pout, but it was whatever.

kouyou giggled softly at this, holding her sleeve above her lips to muffle her giggles while chuuya scoffed.

a wine glass was slide towards him by mori, a satisfied smile on his face as he forced the [h/c] male to sit, and that glass was soon declined, which, of course, he stared at [m/n] for a moment, a bead of sweat forming on [m/n]'s cheek, making [m/n] sighed softly, being forced to take a sip.

it wasn't like he was a light weight, he just didn't like alcohol, yet the wine didn't taste half bad— making the [h/c] male give a soft hum of contentment.

———

by the end of this.. "drinking session" with mori and the executives, only chuuya was drunk, since he was the lightest weight out of all three of them, making [m/n] sigh.

who's going to take him home? because i'm an out on that."

mori tilted his head, seemingly "thinking".

"well, i would make kouyou do that, but... she's busy tonight, right kouyou?" mori gives her a suggestive glance, noticingly teasing [m/n] and forcing him to take care of the short red head.

"oh come on-..!"

————

[m/n] sighed as he piggybacked chuuya to his apartment, sighing softly as he opening the door to his apartment and closing the door behind him, taking off his shoes and glancing up to see the clean apartment. it had a serene vibe to it, surprisingly.

he laid chuuya in his bed, he glanced behind him, opting for a shower.

——

as he got out the shower, wearing a normal sleep attire, with a small towel on his head to dry his damp hair. as he glanced at chuuya, sighing.

'i suppose sleeping on the couch tonight it is...' [m/n] thought, walking towards the living room and laying on the couch, closing his eyes, quickly falling asleep.
