Summary: Rikichi confesses to Hanataro during a drunken haze
Author's Note: Plot bunnies out of control!! Please enjoy! ^^
Hanataro knew it was a bad idea. It, in no way, could be a good idea. But of course, he had smiled and said, "Sure, I'd love to come!"
And that was how he ended up here. At a bar. Drinking. With a bunch of other shinigami, half of them he didn't even know. The only ones he knew were Renji, who was with Matsumoto and the others drinking and singing very bad karaoke, and Rikichi, who was right here with him, just staring at the platter of drinks that Renji had bought for them.
"Rikichi-kun," Hanataro said softly, "Are you ok?"
Rikichi looked up at Hanataro. "Yeah, I'm ok! Just wondering."
"About what?" Hanataro asked curiously.
"Well.." Rikichi's voice trailed off and his eyes averted to the cups on the table. "I was wondering, if you were drink at all, 'cause if you're not gonna drink then I don't want you o be the only sober."
Hanataro smiled at his thoughtfulness. "Thank you, Rikichi-kun. That's kind of you but I really don't drink.""
Rikichi frowned, "Aw, why not?"
Hanataro gulped. "W-w-well, I haven't really ever d-d-drank before. Alcohol, I-I mean."
Rikichi smiled. He picked up the cup off the table and handed it towards Hanataro.
"Whats this for?" Hanataro asked, taking it in his hands.
"Theres a first for everything." Rikichi said, a grin creeping across his face.
Hanataro looked at him nervously. "B-b-but, Rikichi-kun, I can't!"
"Please?" Rikichi looked at Hanataro with the saddest face he had ever seen. His eyes looked a little watery and his bottom lip stuck out, "Please, Hana-chan..?" he begged.
Hanataro couldn;t help himself. "O-ok. Just one."
"Four!"
"Umm.. How bout just t-two?"
Rikichi smiled contentedly. "Alright!"
Hanataro looked down at the cup in his hands. He really really didn't want to drink this, but...
He put the cup to his lips and tipped it forward. The liquid slipped in his mouth and he swallowed the fiery elixer in several thick gulps.
Rikichi also took a cup and took sips of the alcohol.
Even though that had been his first cup, and a small one at that too, Hanataro could've sworn the room was tilting sideways. He could also feel a warm tingle in his body that felt... nice.
"You ready for the next one?" Rikichi asked. Hanataro nodded slowly, unsurely.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Drink Two:
Hie vision was beginnig to blurr. He had such a cute blush on his face.
Drink Three:
He really couldn't stand straight. Nor could he stop laughing.
Drink Four:
He and Rikichi were linked at the arms, singing out of tune songs and slurring the word together.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Gee, Haaaanaa-chaaan," Rikichi drawled out, "This isss sooo mush funn, hmm?"
Hanataro laughed, "Yesss, it is Rikiiiiichi-k-kun."
"Wuh...When was the last time you had fun like thisss?"
Hanataro laughed even harder. "Never ever ever ever."
Rikichi's flushed face softened. "Sooo, does that make me shhh-pecial?"
Hanataro draped an arm around Rikichi, "Aww, Rikichiii-kuuuuuun," he purred, "You've always been spu.. *hic* special to me."
Rikichi smiled. "You've been special to m,e too, Haaanaa-chaaan. I think that I might even..." his voice trailed off.
Hanataro crossed his arms. "C-C'mon Rikichi-kuuuun," he pouted, "D-don't leave me haaaangin' like that!"
Rikichi laughed. "Evah since that d-day that you saved Renjiiiii, I always admired youuuu. A-and even after that, I mean, when Renjiiii ruh-jected me, I still liked you. I wash devestated when he told meh no, b-but I wash able to find c-comfort in you. An' that meansh a lot to meh. At firsht I didn' believe it but now..."
Rikichi stared at Hanataro, who was smiling contentedly.
"C-can I kish you, H-Haanna-chaaan?" Rikichi asked bashfully.
Hanataro beamed.
Rikichi leaned forward and planted a quick peck on his lips.
"Yanno, wha?" Rikichi asked.
"Hmmmm?"
"Lob ish a hard thing tuh believe..."
Hanataro nodded.
Rikichi smiled and laughed, "But it's easier to believe if your drunk."
