[ the flight back was okay. kinda awkward, still. they made it back home safely, though. it was night time by the time they returned to the apartment, and Aiko was so tired that she was put to bed almost immediately. Gumi had said she was a little tired and gone to her room soon after.

That was a lie. She was wide awake. Wide awake, and alone with her thoughts. After a few hours of laying in bed with no results whatsoever, Gumi got up. Maybe a snack or something would help.

She made her way to the kitchen as quietly as she could, so she didn't wake the other residents of the house, and looked around the kitchen for whatever she could find that seemed like it'd help. Among the hidden things, there was a bottle of sake.

Gumi stared long and hard at it. She'd gotten it a while back. It was being saved, just in case she needed it.

She only wondered for a few moments whether or not now was a good time before taking the bottle and a shot glass to her room. It didn't matter that the sake was warm. It was better than nothing.

She sat down in bed again once she got back to her room and downed a shot of the sake. And another.

Before she knew it, she was asleep.

Unfortunately, it may have been better for her if she'd stayed awake.

It was night time. The moon was full, and it was very bright ... Gumi didn't even need the city lights to see where she was going. She was walking the streets of Tokyo, not quite sure where she was going, only that she was going somewhere ... ]

Did anything blow up? [she just spent like three hours clubbing her head's still ringing okay]

There were a lot of fireworks at the school, but other than that, nothing blowing up. Which is kinda nice. Reki didn't freak out about something blowing up.

[ if by blowing up, you mean in the literal sense of the term. now, as for emotional things blowing up .... thaaaaaaat might be a different story. ]

Meh. [yawns and slumps over the counter, nearly upsetting her cup of coffee]

[13376066135.livejournal.com]

[ moves the coffee out of her way and pats her on the back. ]

You should probably get back into your bed before crashing, you know.

[techbane]

Nah, it's still pretty early. [already folding her arms beneath her head and closing her eyes. NOPE NOT TIRED]

[13376066135.livejournal.com]

You're falling asleep, Lills.

[techbane]

... No I'm not.

[13376066135.livejournal.com]

You were sleeping when I came in, and you nearly feel asleep again just now.

[techbane]

I was resting my eyes.

Liar ~

[techbane]

Not lying. [grhfhrghrfhhh]

Liar, Liar, pants on fire ~

[ pets her hair ]

Want me to help you home?

[techbane]

Shouldn't I be the one asking you that?

[13376066135.livejournal.com]

I'm not the one falling asleep at the table.

[techbane]

And I'm not the one who got drunk.

[13376066135.livejournal.com]

Shut up, it was a long flight and I couldn't sleep.

[techbane]

Jetlag hardly qualifies as an excuse these days.

[ .... ]

Some ... really awkward things may have happened during the trip. But it's not exactly something I want to talk about, so I'm just going to leave it at that.

Does that count as an excuse?

[techbane]

Well now I'm just curious. Good job, Gumi.

[13376066135.livejournal.com]

Other than that it was fun?

But seriously, I don't want to talk about it.

[techbane]

But seriously, I wanna hear.

[13376066135.livejournal.com]

But seriously, I don't want to talk about it.

[techbane]

It couldn't've been that bad.

[13376066135.livejournal.com]

It wasn't bad, just awkward.

I just don't want to talk about it.

[techbane]

Bad, awkward, whatever. I'm still curious.
