Chapter Text
A party hosted for Nijisanji’s livers huge success over the years, making a huge impact on their 8th anniversary today, the celebration lasting until midnight. Leaving half of them drunk or exhausted.
As the party is getting wrapped up, some livers have already left. leaving a few livers remaining outside waiting for their ride.
“I’ll go get the car okay?” Seible said with his usual cheerful voice and a smile, swinging his car keys as he waved to go to the parking lot, “Man that party was so fun…” Kaelix slurred with his speech, “Yeah it was, especially when you and Doppio were on the stage.” Zeal chuckles, his arm on Kaelix’s shoulder to support him, because Kaelix drank a lot more than he intended.
“Doppio is such a good singer… I loved that part when he sung—” “Yeah that one! It was so good.” Everyone’s voices now was a blur to Uki, He almost feels like he’s going to break from how much he’s been handling his emotions before coming here. It was a good distraction at first, but now everything is crashing down. Slowly.
Uki’s thoughts were cut off by Kaelix’s yelling, “Byebye Wilson!! You did so well in the games!” Waving his hand with such power, causing him to lose a bit of balance, Uki turned his head to see Vox holding a drunk Wilson. Wilson waved back sluggish with a smile, “Bye Kaelix! You did well too.” turning his head again, Zeal is noticeably getting irritated at this interaction.
Vox shoots a heavy sigh, making it clear that Vox was irritated too. “Guys come on, Seible is here!” Vanta yelled, inside the car already with Freodore. The others hurrying to get in while saying goodbye to the other livers still spotted outside.
The whole car ride was filled with lively conversations, reminders of the party about how Doppio kept singing even if the mic got turned off, Vanta spilling tea with Krisisis, along with Uki secretly eavesdropping, Vox winning all of the drinking games, Luca screaming pog and running around causing everyone a headache then it doubles when Shu joins. That was just an average day in Nijisanji.
“Thank you Seible, for driving me home. You really didn’t have to” Uki said shyly, “No no, don’t thank me. I’m glad I could help!” Seible said with a grin, His bright presence almost blinding Uki, “Alright then, bye guys. See you later” Uki softly smiled, opening the car door to leave. “Byebye Uki!” his friends yelling from the car window, as the car drove away.
Uki closes the door with a soft click, “I’m home…” He sighed, his suppressed emotions slowly pouring back. Walking out of the hallway, he spots Fulgur in the living room. “Welcome home, my Ukiki. How was the party?” Fulgur said calmly, looking up from his book. “It was nice” Uki said, exhausted. Laying down next to Fulgur.
They talk and cuddle for a while, Uki’s emotions pouring more as they talk, Fulgur’s voice now blurry to his ears, he can’t handle it anymore. He might break right here and there. Uki came back to his senses now as he heard, “Oh, by the way, why didn’t you let me come with you?” Fulgur asked, his head tilted with curiosity.
Uki’s eyes widen, He’s not ready to answer. His gaze avoiding Fulgur, heart beating faster, his breathe quickens. Growing hotter each second, hand clutching at the hem of his sweater. He wants this to end already. “Ukiki, what’s wrong? hey, look at me.” Fulgur’s voice filled with concern now, He places his hand on Uki’s chin to turn him, only to find Uki’s eyes staring at him with tears.
Fulgur instinctively wrapped his arms tightly around Uki. Rubbing his back in slow circles, “Shh... It’s okay Ukiki, breathe.” Fulgur whispered in his ear, Uki trembling beneath him. His emotions hitting him all at once, everything is overwhelming him. Uki almost bursts out another cry as he remembers that… he’s hugging a ghost.
