[ 8:40pm @ Karaoke & Grill ]
after yuta and maki figured out megumi’s location, they waited with the group outside. nobara, toge, and yuji were already there. there was light chatter between the couples, while yuji butted into the conversation at times. he was a bit worried that megumi would be the one who couldn’t make it, but it seemed like everything was under control.
after five minutes of waiting, footsteps approached the group. megumi appeared, looking put together as usual. maki turned to face him, “it’s about time.” she grumbled beneath her breath, earning a subtle glare from him. “.. i was only ten minutes late.” he replied with a hint of defense in his tone.
yuta rubbed the back of his neck, “which is unusual for you. you’re usually on time.” he pointed out, earning a slight chuckle from yuji. nobara just rolled her eyes, “can we get going? i’m starving!” she complained with a small whine.
maki turned back to her, nodding. “right, yeah. let’s go before they cancel our reservation.” she replied before giving megumi one last glance. the group made their way into the karaoke bar, a decently sized restaurant with karaoke rooms on the upper floor.
since nobara made the reservation, she checked everyone in. the hostess lead the group up to the top floor where the karaoke rooms were, opening the door for them. they could’ve ate in the restaurant portion, but she insisted that the karaoke room would be a better experience.
the room was dimly lit with purple, green, and orange neon lights. the ceilings were rimmed, blue lights dangled from the top. neon signs covered the room, giving it a party like vibe. the tv was in the middle pressed against the wall along with speakers on each side — microphones lined up in the charging ports.
a coffee like table was in the middle of the room, surrounded by sofas and bean bags. everyone took a seat, maki and nobara sitting on the beanbags. toge and yuta sat on one of the sofas, leaving megumi and yuji to sit on the sofa beside them. nobara wasted no time before picking up the tablet on the table to order food.
after everyone put in their orders, conversation filled the room. the couples were talking about an upcoming event they planned, some sort of double date with a couple yuji didn’t know that well. megumi was silent as usual, though he didn’t look as tense as he did when he was fifth wheeling.
yuji turned to megumi after a few minutes, “hey, megs. i’m glad you made it.” he said with a warm smile on his lips. megumi tilted his head towards him, just a bit. he gave a small nod. “yeah. it’s my bad i was late, dorm building didn’t have an iron..” he murmured in response, a bit embarrassed /he/ was the one who was late.
yuji nodded in understanding, “ugh, that’s annoying.. i forgot just how unorganized the west wing was.” he chuckled, leaning against the sofas cushions. “did you get an iron though?” he questioned, tilting his head.
megumi hummed, “uh-huh. i had to stop by the north wing to use theirs.” he held yuji’s gaze for a moment before turning away. he rested his elbow on the arm rest of the sofa, placing his chin into the palm of his hand.
yuji made an ‘ohh’ sound, “good thing! hopefully the west wing will fix their missing items.. there’s always something gone.” he trailed off, thinking of the amount of things he couldn’t find at times. he opened his lips again to talk before the door of the karaoke room opened.
a waitress pushed in a cart full of drinks. six waters for everyone, a beer for toge, wine for nobara, cocktail for maki, an alcoholic shirley temple for yuji, and a coke & rum for megumi. everyone took their drink along with a water, and slipped back into conversation.
the night continued, the group sharing laughter together. later in the night after everyone ate, the real fun began. the room blasted music as yuji, and nobara took the mics. off tune singing filled the room, but it didn’t really matter.. everyone was having a good time; even megumi.
nobara also ordered some shots for the fun.. which ended up in yuji becoming wasted. around 11pm, they began wrapping up. nobara was a little tipsy, along with yuta. toge and maki decided to take the two back to their dorms — leaving yuji with megumi.
megumi looked down as yuji stumbled over his feet. grabbing onto megumi’s sleeve, crumpling the shirt he fought so hard to iron. yuji hiccuped softly, “ughhhh~ i’m so dizzy..” he slurred, leaning against megumi. megumi shot him a quick look of concern mixed with mild annoyance.
“.. let’s get you home.” he muttered, grabbing yuji’s arm to stabilize him. megumi took the bus home along with a drunk, clingy yuji. after arriving to yuji’s dorm, he had to look through the males pockets to find his keys.. which made him a bit unsure — should he be allowed to take keys?.. he was probably overthinking.
he lead yuji to his room, pushing the door open as he lowered him onto the plush bed. yuji let out a small whine as he hit the comfortable and familiar mattress. “ahh.. so warm~..” he drawled into the pillow.
megumi removed his shoes, but that was it. there was no way he’d change him. after placing yuji’s shoes neatly by his bed, he went into the kitchen to pour a glass of water. when he returned, yuji was out cold. a small smile tugged at megumi’s lips before it disappeared just as quickly as it came.
he placed the glass of water, along with his keys on the bedside table. then, he returned to his own dorm.
