Chapter Text
Morning arrived and with it so did the chirps of the birds and the chatter of the people outside who were starting their day.
Heizou groaned quietly and tried to get up from where he was laying. But the weight on top of him stoped him from doing so. He turned to look at what was stuck on him and saw Sango sleeping peacefully. For a second he was shocked and tried to figure out how they ended up like this before recalling the events of last night.
He remembered her confession and smirked to himself. "I am never letting that one go." He thought and quietly chuckled, then his face softened, "We should probably have that whole talk but when she's sober.".
He shook her arms to wake her up. Sango mumbled something under her breath but when she realized she was sleeping on top of someone she jolted awake. She got up too fast and pain filled her head. She couldn't balance herself in time and fell off the couch.
Heizou stifled a lugh and got up from the couch. He leaned down and gripped Sango's arms and helped her back onto the couch. She sat on the couch and put her head in her hands to try to get rid of the pain and Heizou went to the kitchen in the meantime to get her a jug of water to help her with her hangover.
When he returned he could hear her groan quietly. It made sense, this was her first time drinking and she had looked like she had drunk so much she had had a change in personality.
Sango drank the water and gave the glass back to Heizou before getting up to leave.
"Where are you going?" He asked. "I immediately need to use your bathroom." She replied while she tried to walk quickly to the bathroom.
Heizou laughed and got up to go to the kitchen to fix her up some breakfast. He made two of his specialty, The Only Truth. When he came back out with both of the bowls Sango was already chugging down another glass of water. Her face was red from embarrasement. When she went to the bathroom she had recalled some of what had happened last night.
Heizou set the bowl down in front of both of them and gave Sango a pair of chopsticks. She took hesitantly took them from his hand and they both started to eat the meal.
After they were done Heizou took the empty bowls and chopsticks and put them back in the kitchen. In the meantime Sango made herself comfortable while nursing her head and taking more sips of water. When Heizou returned he sat down next to her and looked at her expectantly. She was avoiding looking him in the eye and looked deep in thought.
"So... is this the part where we start kissing?" Heizou teased with a wide smirk. Sango's head snapped towards him and her face became more red with embarassement. She wanted to retort back but words couldn't get out of her mouth so she just drank more water.
She put the empty glass back down Heizou took the glass and got up to get more water. When he got up so did Sango. She still didn't look him in the face and tried to leave by going around him but Heizou blocked her way.
"Oh aren't you going to even give me a goodbye kiss?" He grinned smugly. He started to full out laugh when she didn't reply and got even redder.
"L-look it was just the alcohol speaking." She finally said. "Trust me I won't let Ryuuji drag me to drink like that ever again." She finally looked at him.
He smiled softly at her this time. No hint of teasing and amusement in his expressions.
Heizou walked her to the door and opened it for her. Sango walked out of the door. Midway she turned back to him and shuffled on her feet, trying to find the proper words.
"Thank you... for taking care of me. And I'm sorry for coming here in the middle of the night. And... for all I did... and said to you..." Sango finally let out. Heizou smiled at her.
"How about we talk about this again? But without the involvement of alcohol this time." He grinned again, teasing her. Sango rolled her eyes but nodded.
"Yeah, I think it would be a good idea to finally talk properly."
Heizou smirked up at her and then reached for her hand then brought it up to his lips. "I'll also be waiting for that kiss you mentioned, sweetheart~" He said, flirty as ever.
It took a few seconds for her to do so but she yanked her hand back, her face glowing red that Heizou loved to see once again. Then she turned and walked away in furious strides, intending to go back home as fast as possible.
Back at her home, the agency, she saw Ryuuji panicking inside. He was walking back and forth. When he saw her he let out a sigh of relief and immediately went to her side.
"Where were you?? I came back this morning and you weren't anywhere! I thought something had happened when you returned drunk and on your own!" He frantically asked.
Sango didn't answer. She just groaned and leaned her back against the door while burying her face in her hands. The only thing Ryuuji could see was the red tips od her ears.
When the fact that Sango was blushing registered his brain started overheating from how much he tried to think of what could have happened. Then it clicked.
"Did- Did you spend the night with Heizou??" He received no reply. "Archons above... Did you sleep with him?!"
Sango just pushes herself off of the door and walks towards her room. "Just get back to work! I'm going to get some proper sleep." And with that she shut the door to her room. Leaving Ryuuji there with his jaw on the floor.
Bonus:
"Dude, did something happen between you and Sango last night?"
Heizou chuckled. It hadn't even been three hours since Sango had left his house with her face all red and everyone already knew about it. "Kind of. She came to interrogate me off work hours. Such a hard working detective, isn't she?"
One of the guys from the party last night shoved his head through the door way and turned to Heizou. "Hey, How'd the interrogation go last night?"
"I got the confession I was hoping for, now hopefully I'll be able to get some evidence for it too~"
