Laure grabbed Kai's hand and lead him back inside the party. They bumped into Mia who started speed explaining the change of situation hence Laure took the opportunity to go to the toilet.

"Wait so Soham is here ?" Kai glanced everywhere while Mia was responding positively - Kai stopped, a frown engraving in "He's drinking ?"  A girl was all over him as well.

Kai traversed the human field, getting shoved from side to side, getting walked on ; it was as if he wasn't allowed to reach destination.

When the path cleared a bit, his eyes and Soham's locked until a wave of people came back to block the way.

Kai squeezed through as much as possible, still, like back then, Soham was already gone.

"WE'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR YOU FOR HOURS" Outside of the bar, Kai was trying to get rid of the larva sticking to his body "SOHAM !" The larva snuggled in his neck "...." He pinched his temple "So that's how you are when drunk..."

Soham seemed to gain his senses back and moved away, a smirk plastered all over. 

He head-locked Kai and pointed to a table further in the bar "If you...drink-" He hiccuped "from this guy's glass without asking..." Kai furrowed his browns "I won't run away"

"So you were planning on running away huh ?" Kai could always lie to Soham about the event "Stay put here"

He went to the table and muttered the situation to the two persons, quietly taking money out of his pocket. 

His movement got stopped, eyes wide.

Soham appeared out of nowhere and stole the stranger's beer, Kai let out a bewildered swear then placed five dollars on the board, hastily dragging his wild friend out to prevent the worst. Despite that, he ended up being the dragged one as Soham was sprinting, sprinting, sprinting, sprinting.

Kai yanked him away to swallow oxygen. 

Soham looked back laughing with a sort of gleaming gaze...almost hypnotizing, probably due to the reflection of the street lamps in it.

"Dude..." Kai collapsed on a stone step supposed to lead to a dwelling, he leaned back on his forearms being entirely swallowed by Soham's shadow "Is this why you never drink ? 'Cus you're so fucking reckless ?"

Soham bent his upper body to overlook Kai "Is this why you got dumped ? 'Cus you're so boring ?"

The atmosphere shifted "What'd you say ?"

Soham placed his hands on the cold stone - slightly slipping ; each on opposite sides, enclosing the sat one "Ah so you're boring and deaf, life must suck"

Kai shoved him as standing up "What's up with you man"

"What' up with me ?" Soham put his index over his mouth falsely thinking "...Surely not getting depressed after getting dumped like a shi-" Kai was already twisting this one's hoodie "Shit that's why I hate being drunk" Soham wobbled a bit.

Kai hold him up "Yeah, you're being a real asshole" 

"...Not controlling myself makes me sick to the core" Soham landed his forehead on the other's "Kai you're so..." He whispered "fucking sickening"
