Chapter 7
Yoshiki snuggled himself in the chair happily. The room smelt like wool and cigar smoke. Him and Satoshi had been stuck getting one room that they all had to share. With the party tomorrow everyone had come into town. The lobby and bar were a little crowded . The two had sat themselves at the fire. Satoshi had managed to get (aka he stole) a whole bottle of rum and was drinking it calmly. Yoshiki smiled at him "you know you shouldn't drink too much of that" "at least I'm not smoking " Satoshi grumbled In response. Yoshiki rolled his eyes "you're such a mess" "look who's talking". They both chuckled lightly. Yoshiki yelped as someone stumbled into him, momentarily crushing Yoshiki's left arm. "Are you okay?" As quick as a cat Satoshi reacted, looking to Yoshiki in concern. Yoshiki looked to his arm "we're gonna have to fix it". Satoshi nodded, glaring at the people as he led Yoshiki to the groups room.
Celeste and Makoto had stepped into their room after asking the innkeeper which one it was. Before Celeste could even process what was happening, her eyes were covered "what's going on?" . Makoto had covered her eyes, glaring at Satoshi and Yoshiki. "Why are you doing that now? ?" "Some twat fucked it up. I can't control that". Makoto and Satoshi continued their whisper argument. After a moment makoto had moved his hand away from Celeste's eyes. Yoshiki was the only one still sitting. He had this nervous tenceness about him. He seemed to have just been panicking about whatever it was Satoshi and Makoto were arguing about . Celeste looked at the commotion and frowned "is anyone going to explain what happened? " the room went silent after that. They all looked to eachother. "Should i-" Yoshiki started "no. She doesn't need to know that. She has no reason to" Satoshi glared at both Yoshiki and Celeste. Makoto hit Satoshi's head "and why not?". Satoshi huffed "she just joined yesterday. That's enough time to trust her with something like that". "I don't see why not... I mean it's my-" "you can't just hand that information out to someone right away Yoshiki. " . This argument could have lasted for an eternity, if it weren't for Celeste. "All of you stop arguing. There's no reason. If its about Yoshiki then it should be his decision. You two don't have to sway him. Plus Makoto is the leader so he gets the ultimate say in the end. Now stop fighting like children". Celeste didn't even have to raise her voice to make herself heard. They all stopped and looked to eachother after her words. Yoshiki sighed "I'll tell you some time important okay? It doesn't matter right now". Celeste sighed "alright. Thank you"
"Where did you get a bottle of rum?" Makoto asked Satoshi. The four now sat on their beds talking. "I stole it" Satoshi answered nonchalantly while taking a swig . "You're an alcoholic? " Celeste held surprise in her tone. "Not as bad as you think I'd be though" another swig. "How were the disguises? " Yoshiki asked excitedly . Celeste and Makoto looked to eachother "they were..." Makoto trailed off, not sure how to put it. "Humerous. Well blend in great though" . "Fantastic. Oh! Can I try mine on?". Makoto nodded, handing both of theirs over "knock yourself out"
It took longer than Celeste expected for the two to get back. "Where are they?". "Well, they were somewhere changing. But they might be doing something else by now" Makoto snickered at his words. "Makoto?" "Yeah?" "You seem to joke around about them using innuendos a lot. Any real reason?" She raided a brow. "Eh, well" Makoto chuckled "it's a long story, but I guess it's just kind of how we tease eachother. We work like a family , you understand right?" . Celeste nodded "I'm glad I'm part of it now" she smiled softly. Makoto smiled too "I am too.." . Makoto jumped when their peaceful silence was interrupted by the two coming in. "Ta-da!" Yoshiki spread out his arms happily. He was in a dress simular to Makoto's . It consisted if mostly blue and white. He wore gloves that went past his elbows and a fabulous hat also. Satoshi stayed put, clearly embarrassed. He wore a clean white dress shirt, accented by his navy bow. He simply carried his black coat. His dress pants were also a Navy blue. But one thing stood out. Jax had made him were glasses along with his outfit. Celeste and Makoto weren't sure weither it was his own decision, but his hair was slicked back perfectly. Makoto suddenly burst out laughing after examining them both "oh my god". "I love when Jax makes us clothes. What about you Satoshi? " Yoshiki looked to him as he spoke. "I feel like I'm a chef all over again. All I need is an apron and I'm set" Satoshi glared into the wall beside him. Yoshiki laughed "at least that look still suits you though". Celeste chuckled. She found the two's interaction intresting, and a bit adorable. "Did you get to dress up in a pretty dress too?" Yoshiki asked her. She shook her head pointing to Makoto. "No way" Satoshi retorted. Makoto shamefully nodded his head. Both Yoshiki and Satoshi burst into a fit of laughter. "This is gonna be great to watch" Satoshi said. "What is that supposed to mean?!" Makoto glared at them both. "Most people go to those parties as couples. And if you blend in as a couple, you dance". Makoto's face was suddenly swept over by dread. "It can't be that bad. I mean, we could teach you!" Yoshiki smiled, using his usual optimistic tone. "I know how to ballroom dance if that helps" Celeste added. "See? There's no way you'll fail at it now!" . Makoto huffed " I'll find a way, just wait". They all laughed again.
Celeste was really starting to love this new family.
