All alone in the world.

Characters: Fai D. Flourite & Open
Where: Aqures Ixen
When: 1st December
Summary: Fai's friend has gone into status so after visiting him in the hospital, Fai heads out to drink and take his mind off being alone.
Warning: None as of yet.

It was odd being all alone without the other there, but here he was leaving the hospital all by himself. It was a really odd feeling. Some years ago this would have been rather satisfying and he would have welcomed it because then he could have been the person he thought he was. But here... Being alone just didn't feel right and he didn't like it one bit.

Scratching behind his head, he walked on, unsure of what to do as his moogle just floated quietly next to him. He knew the other was upset and he just simply had no idea of what to do. It wasn't long before Fai found himself outside a bar and wondering if he should just step in and spend the day just simply drinking it away. It would help take his mind of things after all.

That's what he wanted, at least for now. He could confront being alone later. Looking up at the sign, he sighed still wondering if that would be a good idea or not.

She wanted to know why? He couldn't help but thing it was a little odd. He just didn't understand why people would get so excited over what he just said. It might baffle him for some time.

But never the less he knew he might as well drink. Not like he had anything to do back home or anything. He didn't even want to go back right now. back to a house that was empty and quiet.

"Alight, but don't say I didn't warn you, okay?" He said with a small grin taking a big sip of his own before looking at the glass. It was almost empty already. he shouldn't really drink it like sake.

Yuna smiled at him. "I've never been very good at heading warnings." Though she at least knew that she had the tendency to go a little over board with things. Her cheeks began to color a rosy hue as she ordered a third round.

She didn't seem like she was going to let up though it was clear the alcohol was already starting to affect her.

"Why don't we play a game while we drink?"

Fai could tell the signs of someone when they started to get tipsy at least, although when it came to Sakura and Syaoran in Oto that one time what happened t them was something else. Would have been more amusing if he at the time wasn't drunk himself.

"What kind of game may I ask?" Fai said as he looked at the now empty glass. He figured he'd take the next one slower when he could.

Yuna shrugged. "I honestly don't know. Someone I once knew told me about drinking games. I guess I was curious to see if you knew any."

They weren't exactly what she was thinking but she thought she would ask anyway. She waved another hand at the bartender beckoning him over with a friendly smile.

He gave a small laugh. "No I don't know of any. I just can drink a lot when I feel like it." He knew he could do that as he could recall when he would prefer the sweet taste of it over food any day, but he found that wasn't so much the case any more.

Once the guy was over Fai decided t go with something else to drink, knowing that it wouldn't be as alcoholic as the last drink he had.

Yuna leaned over curiously looking up at Fai. "What are you getting?" She only really knew of one drink here that was good but then after she found it she didn't really try anything else.

Her cheeks were flushed brightly from the effects of the alcohol though she hasn't yet started to slur her words together.

"Something new and not even I had before." He wasn't even sure what he was ordering. he just felt like getting something he figured he could try while he was here.

"I think you'll be finishing soon yourself. You look like you've nearly had enough anyway."

"You think so?" She looked down at the amber liquid curiously feeling the room shift slightly as she moved. It was a strange feeling, it was as if she was numb but could still feel everything so acutely.

"Maybe.. one more?" Yuna finished her beer and set it on the counter with a smile. She looked a little spaced out though other than that there was no indication that she might be inebriated.

He wasn't sure if he should let her have that one more, but at the same time she seemed pretty determined to have another drink. But that could just be him over thinking things.

"I think you've had enough. I should maybe think about taking you home."

"But.." She looked over at him with rosy cheeks and a soft pout. "You were the one feeling sad.. You don't need to worry about me."

Yuna didn't want to put him out besides that she felt fine, at least for the moment. She swung her legs around and stood only to waver slightly and reach out for purchase.

"I'm dizzy.."

"Feeling sad is a normal thing, you don't have to go overboard to be able to make someone feel better. Getting drunk or tipsy might not help." He said only just noticing that maybe he had been showing signs of worrying. He figured that was probably a good thing at least.

Knowing she really was at her limit Fai stood up and went to wrap an arm around her shoulder. "That is normal when one is tipsy. I'll help you home."

Yuna looked up at him with a pout. "..But I don't want my friends to be sad." She couldn't say when she started to consider Fai a friend but she did and she wanted to see him smiling with everyone else. A world filled with laughter.

She tried to walk knowing that it wouldn't do much good without someone steadying her. There was so much going through her head and she couldn't stop the words from spilling from her mouth as she stumbled in the rough direction of her house. "I think I feel bad too.. not because people are gone but because I wish I was."

Celes just floats behind making sure that she doesn't get lost.

That was enough to give him a small smile, but at the same time it makes him worry. If his friend could leave then who knows when any friend would leave. He at least started to care more for people now, but here... he was wondering if that was a good idea. But then again he made friends in other worlds so how is this any different.

Before he had time to speak she had spoken again and that was enough to cause him to frown slightly. That was a way he had felt before because of what he had experienced and seen. He didn't like the fact that someone wished they weren't here.

"Why do you wish you were gone?" he asked wanting to see if he can help while helping her walk.

Yuna looked up at Fai her gaze a little distant and for the moment she stopped walking. It was harder somehow to stand up right when she was still than it was when she was walking but she manged with Celes floating nervously nearby. The little moogle wasn't used to his hero opening up and he was obviously alarmed by Yuna's words.

"Because it would be easier for everyone else.. Technically I should have died three years ago."

It felt as if she was only buying her time as if some curl fate kept her around so that she could lose those close to her again and again. She felt tears at the corner of her eyes but she quickly wiped them away. Yuna was suppose to be helping Fai not the other way around.

Fai couldn't help but look away. This was quite a touchy subject for him. Considering his past; He could understand how she felt. He really did, so he at least knew what one had to say. But he made sure to not do exactly as his friend would have done.

"It's not easier for people." He said with a small laugh, it was faked for once but at the same time he wasn't trying to pretend it was okay because it wasn't. "Believe me, having that feeling of knowing you were meant to die is never a good thing, but I will say the same thing a good friend of mine might say." He knew they weren't walking right now so he moved, hand still on her should while he moved to the front of her.

"You are an idiot for saying that, but if you still feel like that much further down the line... Then I'm sure someone could make it a reality, but until that time you have to live and be there for the friends you have here and for those that care for you." he felt weird saying it himself, but he was serious about it.

Yuna looked up at Fai forcing back the tears that brimmed to the corner of her eyes. It was ironic really. She had always had such strength but lately she felt as if it was stolen from her and given to someone else in her stead. Her gaze cleared and she tried her best to smile through her sorrow mirroring Fai's attempts at a grin.

"Thank you." She wiped at her eyes just to make sure that no tears had fallen. "You know, I was suppose to be the one cheering you up."

She felt her heart sink but then right now there was nothing she could do about it. Her world had crumbled and the moment she had started building it up again it was pulled from her. She wanted to find her footing again and be strong but she had to find out who she was again. Then seeing herself here just man it harder.

He wished he at least had some tissues on him to give to her, but he didn't have a single thing except money. So removing his hand his smile faded.

"Yeah, but I do feel a little better and I doubt drinking was actually going to fully work anyway, so don't feel like you didn't do what you set out to do."

He moved to stand next to her once more, looking around while trying to figure out where the other lived so he could get her home for the moment.

"I'm glad, that you feel a little better then."

Her foot steps were light as she walked towards her home. Celes leading the way with his little paws holding one of her hands. She almost falls a few times stopped either by leaning on Fai or Celes trying to pull her up. Everything is just a blur for the ex sphere hunter as she travels with her two friends through the streets.

Fai made sure to keep her as sturdy as possible until they finally reached her door. He couldn't help but feel a little relieved that they made it back without incident.

"Okay, here we are. Back and safe. I shall leave you to the capable hands of your moogle." Because anything after this was something he didn't quite think he should be helping with. But he gives a small wave before turning his head and starts to head off.

Yuna gave him a smile as Celes opened the door and guided her within the warm walls of her home. She turned once watching Fai leave wishing that she could have done more to help the hero. Though come the next morning she will wonder exactly what she might have divulged to the man.
