DAY THREE - HOUR ONE
When Ei wakes up in the morning, she nearly jumps out of her skin to find: one, there's an uncomfortable kink in her back from her sleeping on the couch, and two you're beside her. She stares in slight shock at your frame, cozied up beside her and breathing faintly- clutching both Makoto's sweat and Ei's waist. 
Ei squints. There's a pounding headache in her head, and the glare of the sun outside makes her mind swirl. What the hell happened last night to lead her here? Practically cuddled up with you?
She has less time to think when you begin to stir, shifting uncomfortably. Panic sets in- jesus, how mad would you be to find the two of you in such a compromising position? 
Ei doesn't even want to think about that.
So in her panic, she softly sits up, and your head falls on her lap. She freezes. You moved closer there, seemingly getting comfortable before drifting back asleep again. Ei blinks. 
What the actual fuck is happening. 
Her hand comes, hesitantly, to rest on your shoulder, giving it a light shake. "Y/n." She whispers. "Y/n." 
"Mm.." You mumble in response, pressing closer. 
"I...damnit." Ei sighs. She stops trying to shake your shoulder. As the bit of her blanket still around her slides off. A few stray strands of her hair blow softly as she looks down at you, and then the older woman looks up and closes her eyes. "Damnit." 
Seriously, what the hell happened? 
_______
The silence drifted by, neither of you saying a word to each other. Until finally you mumbled, wrapping your blanket tighter around yourself. "This is boring." You whispered. 
Ei glanced over, awkwardly playing with her hands. "Yeah. It is." 
"There's um.." You run a hand through your hair. "A bottle of soju. In the kitchen..I saw it."
"Are you asking me to drink with you?"
A huff comes from you. "Well, we've nothing better to do- now do we?"
Ei pauses, briefly. Then she stands, with her blanket wrapped tightly around her. "You're right," She murmurs. "I'll go get it then." 
As she leaves the room, you tuck your head into your hands. Resorting to drinking is definitely far from the best thing you could be doing right now— but who cares? There's no one here but the two of you, there's less trouble you could get in. 
When Ei returns she's holding the soju bottle and two empty glasses. She hands you one and pops open the drink, filling up your glass and hers. Then she sets the bottle down wordlessly. 
"Should we cheers—"
She's already downed her first glass. 
Your eyes widen slightly and you hum, looking away and following suit. Pulling a face, you wait a second before speaking. "Impressive."
