Work Text:
Saturday night, she's been invited to a club once again by one of her colleges friends, she's been feeling like shit lately and she wasn't hard to convince.
Loud music , the smell of cigarette on her nostrils, the smell of alcohol and various people making out, what a sight, if only she had someone to enjoy this night, her friend simply didn't appeared, maybe she got sick or something, but now she's alone. She asked the bartender for a martini and started to drink again, fuck she misses feeling better after just one drink, lately all she does is getting drunk until she forgets her lonely and depressing life, forgot how badly her relationships have gone just for her shitty personality and bad temper, even her brother thinks she's too much to handle.
—I'm so done...
She sighs after her third whiskey and the fifth drink of the night, she feels dizzy and numb. All she wanted was to go back to her apartment, until a tall figure sat next to her and asked for two drinks, giving her one.
—Uhm, i don't want more...
—That's fine then, Ena... maybe you should take a break.
—What-
Ena couldn't believe her eyes, maybe she felt dizzy, but that voice was so familiar to her, of course, that nonchalant and calm voice, it has to be her.
—Mafuyu...?
—Yes, Ena?
—H-How did you... knew i was here?
—Airi told me you were here, since she couldn't come, she asked me to.
—That stupid asshole... she left me hanging...
—she couldn't come, Ena, it wasn't her fault...
—i know i know... I'm just... too drunk right now.
—I can tell... —Mafuyu took a sip of her black russian, her voice cane with a hint of an almost inaudible teasing.
—Shut up, you know we're not that close anymore for me to put up with your smart comments. And why are you drinking such a strong drink...
—Sorry... i didn't ment to upset you. As for the drink, well... i thought I could get... drunk with you?
—What- nevermind... i thought you were out of Japan, when did you came back?
—A week ago... Since i was about to visit my Father, i thought i could get in touch with all of you and stay for a few more weeks...
—So? how's Kanade?
—I don't know... You are... the first person i wanted to visit.
—Wow, the one that treated you like shit? why hm?
—I... don't know.
—Just like always, of course.
There's awkward silence between them, an horrible one, the tension can be cut with a knife.
—Ena... do you hate me?
—What do you think? abandoning me just after we almost had sex is not something you forget easily.
—I was scared... i know i screwed it, but at that time i was... still unsure of my own desires, and i... didn't know what i wanted.
—Mafuyu... i- i know you had your reasons, but not telling me that you were going to study in another country, leaving me behind without even looking back, you didn't even texted me this five years, Mafuyu... coming here like it was nothing just makes you look like shit.
—I-... i know, i know that, I'm aware... that's why i wanted to see you first, i feel... guilty.
—oh you do now? well I've been feeling so good lately! you know? just after you left i got a boyfriend. —She smiles with awkwardness, looking at those purple eyes she always missed.
—y-you did? well, congrats... i didn't-
—I didn't loved him, but you know who i loved? I loved the stupid asshole who left without telling.
Mafuyu looked to the side, she has clearly noticed how much they've changed, feeling the terrifying pang on her chest.
—Sorry...
—Sorry? i cried my eyes out for you for months, years, i came here to forget you... and you have the... guts to come back! fuck I'm so damn mad at you i just want to cry!
—Ena... i mean it, i am very sorry, i came here to make it up to you... i swear...
The clock marked 3:45 AM, there's only 5 minutes until the staff of the club start to get the people out, so Mafuyu sighed and decided to take Ena to her place, she gets up and takes Ena's hand, the girl hesitantly followed Mafuyu, too drunk to even think about how she knew her address.
After a few minutes of walking, Ena gave her the keys and sat on the couch, the place smells like cigarette and alcohol, Mafuyu could only imagine the chaotic life of the brown-haired.
—So? what're you doing here? you should go back to Kanade's place now, don't you?
—I'm not leaving until we settle some things...
—oh yeah? welk this is my apartment, and I'm getting you out!
—you know very well that you can't.
There's silence again, until two hands wrap around Ena's waist, pulling her closer to the other girl's taller body.
—Ena... i know that i left... and i know it was the most stupid thing I've ever done, but my Mother insisted that i should've been in the college at that time... and... you know how i was at that time...
The smaller girl just looked to the side, clearly not in the mood to talk back, or even pulk away from her embrace, she missed this, she missed her.
—And... i was scared of my own feelings at that time too... i was scared of my desires... i want you to know that I loved you... that i love you ever since...
—Fuyu I-...
—Enanan... i do wanted it, i do want you...
—Don't do this to me...
—I'm not done yet... Ena, i can't get you out of my mind, all this years all i could think was you... i am a different person now, but my feelings haven't changed...
—I'm a different person now too... why are you so sure that you still have a chance?
—You haven't slapped me yet, that has to be a sign...
Ena looked at her, she missed her so much, all she could do was chuckled, she had changed a lot, the Mafuyu she knew back then wouldn't have done a joke like that.
—you're still as stupid as before...
—thanks...?
All they could hear right now was the gentle breaths and the rapid heartbeat of the other, the tension back then has subsided, replaced by other kind of tension. Maybe Ena was too dizzy, but she's still conscious about all that's happening, she knew she was blushing, she knew that Mafuyu's grip was slowly tightening as if it was like a subtle request. This tension was always there back then, but it was expressed differently.
—Fuyu...
—Yes Ena?
—You smell like vodka...
—you smell like cigarettes...
A ragged sigh left Ena's glossy lips, leaving her mouth half-closed. This moment reminded her of them in almost the same situation, both young and inexperienced. But now, here they are again, Ena could see her desires reflected on Mafuyu's eyes.
—Can i...?
Mafuyu's question left her speechless, her palid cheeks adorned with a few freckles were getting rosy as she nods almost shyly. She waits for a second until she finally, after all this years, felt Mafuyu's lips against hers, she was gentle, too gentle for her liking, Ena slowly drove her hands to Mafuyu's silky hair and tangled her fingers on it, deepening the kiss with all her might, the subtle taste of vodka filling her paladar while the cold hands holding her start to explore her body.
Soft sighs and ragged gasps for air filling the small living room, Ena laids on the couch as Mafuyu's weight pinned her against it, she felt a pair of lips starting to make their way to her neck, they're still so gentle yet they showed so much desire, it overwhelmed her in a good way. She shivers when Mafuyu's hands find their way inside her shirt.
—M-Mafuyu... i don't think this is a good idea-
—Why? are you scared?
—W-Well... no, i want it but... i don't really feel good with my physic...
—Ena... i like you... i think you are pretty...
—Am i attractive?
—You are, you are beautiful Ena... your body is beautiful... nothing will change that.
Ena's eyes got wet as Mafuyu went back to her job, leaving small marks on her neck and cleavage while her hands play with the waistband of her skirt, she's too self conscious right now to do anything more than close her eyes and let Mafuyu do as she please. She has fantasized about this more than she wants to admit.
—Please... tell me I'm good enough for you...
—you are more than enough... not just for me...
—Mafuyu... i missed you so much... so, so much...
—I know... i missed you too... I'm sorry for not texting you... i thought you hated me...
Ena didn't answered, she held the hem of Mafuyu's shirt and gave her a heated kiss instead. She could smell Mafuyu's cologne, she wanted more, so much more than just kisses and touches.
—Fuyu... I'm... i think I'm ready now...
There's no more words, Mafuyu got the message and this time, she won't run away like she did that time. The hours pass and the sun raises, they were too exhausted to get up, so Mafuyu slept on Ena's bed, cuddling like there was no tomorrow.
But eventually, Mafuyu had to go back to Kanade's house. With a last hug, Mafuyu kissed Ena's neck for a last time.
—I'll call you later, okay? you can keep my hoodie... and, I'll be back, i promise.
—Mafuyu...
—Hm?
—I love you...
—I love you too, Ena... i have to go now, bye...
Ena waved back and sighed, she couldn't believe anything that wss happening, but the headache she had told her it was all real. Once she closed the door behind her, she leaned on the door and smelled the hoodie, it smells like Mafuyu, her cologne, her scent... and the thought of seeing her again only made her feel like she was on cloud nine.
She wanted to thank Airi for all of this, she knew Airi did it on purpose, maybe that's why she's her best friend...
