Yeah, tipsy Kronii hits different.
"i think my tolerance is getting better"
get smashed with 2 cans
extra-lightweight
Shy nerd Kronii, long skirt, oversized wool sweater and thick glasses.
Karaoke with you, getting tipsy on two cans of Palm Bay.
'I don't go out much, but this is fun.'
She is blushing, you don't know if it's because of the alcohol or not.
'Teehee, I think I'm a little dizzy. Please take care of me.'
She's looking up at you, smiling, her blush spreading to her ears.
She is totally defenseless, you could do anything to her right now.
But... That smile...
Thinking about taking advantage of her sends pangs of guilt through your heart.
It almost makes you ill.
Just look at her.
That smile, so soft and warm. It says that she trusts you completely.
It only makes you want to protect her, keep her safe.
You realize she is getting sleepy.
'Should we head out?,' you ask.
'Um, oh, yeah. I guess,' she says with a full drunk smile.
She stand up but looses her stability a bit.
You try to help her but she says not, her face completely red.
'Should I go with you? Your house it's not far, but I'd feel uneasy if you go on your own.'
She puts her hands or her cheek and says 'Sorry for being an annoyance, but please do.'
You go out of the karaoke. It's slowly snowing.
She puts handmade wool hat.
'It's really cold, isn't it?,' she says.
She interlocks her arms in yours, and rest in your body. Is it because she is drunk? Is it the cold? Or maybe…
You get to her home together.
She doesn't seem to find her key.
Her younger sister, Sana, hear her drunk loud voice saying self-censored insults.
Sana opens the window sightly. She say whispering 'Oi! Make her shut it. I'll be down in iffy.'
The door opens, with a full body Pokemon pajama, messy twin tails Sana on the other side. 'Come in, fast,' she says.
'It's bloody cold out there, isn't it mate?,' she says in a low, drowsy voice while catching up the her almost asleep sister.
'Well, I'll head out now then.'
'No way I'm gonna let you out, you'll sleep on the couch.'
'No, I couldn't bother you.'
'Shush. I'll bring something for you to be warm after I take sleepy beauty to her room,' she says while heading for the stairway with Kronii.
You rest on the couch, watching to the ceiling.
'Here,' says Sana while putting blanket over you.
Before leaving, Sana tells you now in a sweet voice, different to her usual cheerful snark: 'thank you for entertain her. She gets lonely easy. Please, do it again.'
She turn the lights out.
You watch the ceiling with no thought, head empty. After a while, you fall asleep.
You wake up late on the morning.
You hear someone coming down the stairs: it's Sana's 'friend', Ina, fully dress-up on an onigiri and sushi pajama, barefoot. She awkwardly waves at you, she is barely awake to do anything else.
You go to the kitchen, where Ina headed.
In there you find Sana making breakfast –toast with butter and jam–; Kronii drinking her coffee with milk, getting sightly startled by your presence; and Ina with her face laying on her arms, resting in the table.
Ina and Sana, reading the room, quickly grab their breakfast items and skedaddle back upstairs, leaving you and Kronii below with nothing but uncomfortable silence in the air
All you can do is awkwardly chuckle as Kronii twirls her hair around one of her fingers while not making eye contact, clearly trying to distract herself from the fact she’s blushing albeit not in the same way she did yesterday after a few drinks
”Hey… I didn’t say anything embarrassing last night, did I?”
Something in the sincere tone she asked that question tugged at your heartstrings a bit, and yet you felt a little mischievous smile creep up on your face.
”I don’t know if I would call it embarrassing per say…”
You see her expression go gaunt and her cup she’s holding visibly shake a little.”
”But I didn’t expect you after a few drinks to break out into a tirade about how much you missed being able to clean badges in older Pokémon games.”
She then sets her drink to the side, and then lies her head on the table before giving off a long, tired sigh.
”God, strike me down now.”
Part of you wants to confess you were messing with her (Sana told you about that rant of hers in actuality the other day), but her pouty expression is too cute so you decide to hold your tongue for just a little bit longer just to enjoy the moment.
