“Kaito? What’s wrong with you? Why are you giggling like this?”, Aoko asked, beign unsure if she really should have asked that.
“Nothin’s wrong~” If anything, he felt the best he’d felt in a long time~ Pleasant numbness instead of worries, and he just felt warm and happy, and he hugged her tighter, grinning widely.
“Jus’ feel happy righ’ now~” He said, giving a peck on the cheek before he went back to nuzzling.
The magician’s all happy and giggly, and just going to cling to the nearest person and nuzzle. Yes.
“I think magician-san is right~ Aaaalll the Kaitos!~ Or Kaitous. No, wait, both~ Both is good~”
Yes, this was fun~ Might have filled up the glass a little too much this time, since his hand wasn’t as steady as he was used to, but that was fine~
He’s probably leaning into people a bit by now, not completely too drunk to stand, though he may sway slightly. Just wanted to cuddle and feel nice.
“You should learn how to make flowers appear~ Would be better for you than that card trick from before.”
Aaand, there’s another glass. Good thing there was another bottle, he supposed. Would have been a shame if he had to back down now, when it actually was feeling a lot more fun than he’d thought.
No. Even his altered mental state wasn’t suicidal enough to kill itself with three drinks. Just one more would be bad enough already…
And after having another glass – oh he’d have to get another bottle… – he put it down and sighed, though really, he was feeling a lot better about it. Or well, caring less. And though he’s feeling more than a little warm, he kinda just wants to sit and cuddle, without worries, and he may be smiling more right now while his fear about what might happen gets drowned by the nice feeling in his head right now. It felt nice to think less…
“…Well, guess you got back at me for the same number drink…”
Yeah, Kaito definitely hesitated this time. A buzz was okay, so long as he could still function, but… he’d never wanted to push too much further. Especially like this… one after another with nothing to stop it… It took a while, considering, but he did eventually drink another glass. And managed to set it down fine, but he was definitely more than a little flushed by now.
…And a lot less worried about what would happen if it went further, because hey, if it pushed that kind of thing away, it couldn’t be that bad… No, wait, yes it could. Stop.
…Was it always this easy to be distracted?
…Yeah, don’t think he likes alcohol… And he’s trying to ignore how pleasant his mind felt while it didn’t want to focus. No. Bad.
“Pretty sure that should be cheating…”
…But fine. Pouting aside, he knows by now the other is a different person, technically… Kaito sighed and filled the glass again, hesitating, because that small feeling in the back of his head hadn’t gone away… But lifted the glass and slowly drank the contents. Really, even for disguise, two would be his maximum anyway… Mostly because he knew when it started to affect him. And when he set the glass back down, the feeling had gotten worse. Or better, depending on how you looked at it.
…
The magician felt… well, more than a little uneasy. Not as though he hadn’t had wine before. Maybe not most alcohol, but that, at least, was something he should be expected to have to drink from time to time, though it’d honestly be because of maintaining a disguise more than drinking personally…
But he’d agreed to this, so… he smiled at his detective and picked up the glass, swirling the liquid around just a bit before bringing it to his lips. At the very least, it was a sweeter wine, so… not too bad to taste. And for one glass, not going to be feeling too different. …Though there may be a very small buzz already. …Hopefully that was just his paranoia, or this would not be going well…
