Work Text:
February 14, the day of celebrating love and friendship, the day you spend with a partner romantically giving them chocolate, love and even passionate sex , the day where you spend intimate time with your significant others but not satoru.
He was alone in his apartment sir he had buy and share chocolate and wishes of happy valentines but he know the day would have end like for start he know when classes are over everyone gone to own personal things, shoko was with utahime, the first and second years had gone off to some high party , well he could have asked yaga to spent with him but who would wanna spend time with their boss on a day like this.
Letting his body go freely over the couch while American pop music plays over the radio has become a tradition for him every year on this day. He should probably do something different he tells himself as he removes his blindfold, his throat hurts and feels dry, standing up and decides to get a cup of water he walks over to the kitchen he opens the cabinet looking for cups that when his eyes catch the bottle of vodka.
‘Must be shoko owns’ he thought
Instead of reaching for the cup he reaches over and picks up the bottle ‘she probably left it the last she was here’ sitting back on the couch with the alcohol on the coffee table in front of him .
Satoru wasn’t the biggest drinker.
The first that he every consumed alcohol is when he and geto and also shoko in their first year had very successful missions when shoko suggested they celebrate it , it’s was her first official mission so she was happy about it , he couldn’t say no he was happy for her that the shitty higher up let her out
And fuck sake geto was on board with the suggestion too so he can’t say didn’t wanna look like a loser specially Infront of these two.
It went horribly wrong. It burns , it’s burn his throat when try swallowing the mouth full of vodka he pridefully takes he regrets cause now he getting laugh at they call him a limp and baby new to alcohol (which was true but fuck them) on that day he swore never ever drink alcohol especially with these.
Luckily for him that day will never come.
But
Today was different. He wanted to do something different and something different he was going to do is drink vodka by himself. What can go wrong plus he was all by himself no one was there to taunt him about how bad he was.
‘One sip of alcohol makes the pain go away!’ He remembered shoko saying
‘That woman think alcoholism is cute’
“I should go for a cup “ he said, ready to stand up again looking towards the kitchen “but….” Fuck that he was gonna drink straight from the bottle.
The scent wafting from the opened bottle immediately captivates him, enveloping his senses in a tantalizing embrace. With each inhalation, the alluring aroma becomes more intense, pulling him deeper into its hypnotic spell. Despite the overwhelming rush of sensations, there is a sense of finality - a point of no return where he is fully committed to the something different that awaits.

Now the bottle was at his head. Chung it, it burned his throat, but he didn't mind. The bottle was already half empty when he decided to catch some air. He pants, "Here we go again!" as he lifts it to his head. Now the bottle was empty as he set it back on the table.
He waits but nothing happens, he feels nothing where the rush of adrenaline?
Doesn't alcohol make you calm, relaxed and even happy?
Opening up once again on couch a familiar tune start play over radio snap his head over here he know the song that gonna play cause remembered play it over and over in this 3rd when geto feel. The song remembers his and Suguru's situation.
He wondered what Suguru is doing today? Is he alone like he was? Bored like him? Fuck he probably living his best life without him. He flipped out his phone, turned it on, and started looking for his late best friend's contact. Was he still using this same number or he changed like it's been like 10 years but he doesn’t care anymore right now.

He probably gonna regret but fuck , he fling his phone to other side of conch of course he didn’t expect a reply but that would nice he should probably go sleep that when he heard a ping coming from his phone instead getting his full attention pick it seeing it was a reply from suguru.
