He nodded and watched her attempt to stand and walk towards the door, however apparently that was too much for her stomach and she rushed to the washroom. Convinced that she likely wouldn't be going anywhere tonight he got up and went to lock the door. "Looks like you'll be staying here tonight. You can take my bed." He called to her from where he stood before going to retrieve a bucket for her just in case she needed to vomit in the middle of the night.

I spit out some vomit left lingering in my mouth and called out to him. "Look, I live upstairs. Just help me get up there and I'll be fine." I've spent a lot of nights drunk alone, I can take care of myself for the most part. I spit out some more and ran my fingers through my hair. Luckily it wasn't long enough that it would have to be pulled back.

He frowned at the reply and shook his head, if she was drunk enough that her body had to expel the toxins then it wouldn't be a good thing to be on her own. "That's not exactly wise." He told her, heading to his room to place the bucket on the bedside table.

I stood on shaky legs and flushed the toilet. "I'll be fine, this isn't my first time being drunk." I sighed. "Even if you do make me stay here, I'd be fine on the couch."

Noctis fought the urge to shake his head at her stubbornness and walked towards the bathroom. He grasped her shoulder and gently steered her towards his room and beyond the threshold to his bed. "Just sleep." He told the intoxicated woman before proceeding to the linen closet in the hall, retrieving an extra pillow and a blanket for himself.

"But I-" I cut myself off and sat on the bed. I pulled the cover out from below me and put then on top. "You'll be fine on the couch?" I said it maybe too quietly. I'm unsure if he heard me. Either way, I laid down on the bed and made myself comfortable. After the spinning subsided, sleep finally came and pulled me in.

He was glad when she didn't put up much of an argument, he guessed that the prospect of sleep was just too inviting in her state. "I'll be fine. Yell if you need anything." He told her before continuing to the main room of his apartment and settling down on the couch with the items he'd retrieved. Once he had lain down, he'd quickly fallen asleep.
~Morning~
Noctis' eyelids fluttered as the sunlight came in through the windows and hit him full in the face, gradually rousing him from his slumber. He shook his head to ward off the residual drowsiness as he sat up, the blanket falling to his waist before he shoved it aside and stood up from the couch. Running his fingers through his hair again he went to his room in order to check on Aya.

I was sitting up and rubbing the sleep from my eyes. Unfortunately I already paid a visit to the bucket on the ground, if you get my drift. A horrible aftertaste stayed in my mouth and the hangover felt like death. "Oh fu-" I rubbed my eyes more and tried to tame my hair when I noticed Noctis in the doorway.
"Let me guess, I got drunk, told you all my problems in a drunken stupor and passed out?" I honestly didn't remember a thing. It's an improvement on what usually happens. At least I was close to home this time.

"Pretty much." He replied, going to retrieve the bucket so that he could clean it out. "You can grab a shower in the washroom, breakfast should be ready by the time you get out." He added as he walked to the kitchen with the bucket in hand. Hopefully he would have something that she could keep down.

Before anything could be said, he was gone. I played with a strand of hair and got up and walked to the shower. I was feeling to lightheaded to fight with him so I didn't bother. I took a quick shower and dried off. I didn't want to run his water bill through the roof so it was a quick rinse off. By the time I left the bathroom, the smell of food had filled the apartment. It was different.

A knock came at the door; no hurry and no rush. Lea waited for the response, a bottle of advil in one hand, a wallet in the other. A worried expression played across his face.
The landlady had said she'd seen Aya stumble into the wrong apartment last night, when Lea had come to knock on the door one floor up this morning. She'd left the wallet at the bar when she'd stumbled out; he'd've offered to drive her home, but he didn't notice her leaving until she was already long gone.

It wasn't the most elaborate meal on earth, but scrambled eggs and toast would have to do for now since he doubted that Aya's stomach could handle much more than that. He dished the food out onto a couple of plates before a knock suddenly sounded at the door. His brow furrowed in confusion over just who might be knocking and walked out of the kitchen as Aya left the washroom. "Help yourself. The Advil is on the counter next to the sink." He told her as he made his way to the door, looking through the peep hole and undoing the three locks before opening the door. "Yes?" He asked, wary of the red haired stranger in front of him.

"Um... hey," he said, trying to figure out how to phrase things. "One of my friends... she lives in this building, I think she stumbled into your apartment last night?"
Noctis would probably recognize Lea from Aya's memory. Not knowing this, he stumbled on. "Um.... if she's here, I've got a couple things for her. She, uh. She left them at the... the bar. Where I work. Yeah."
This was.... awkward.

Oh shit, it's Lea. Didn't want him to see me hungover... Or drunk for that matter either. "Hey Lea." I scratched the back of my head in embarrassment and walked to the advil and a plate. Both were so tempting. I swallowed two of the advils and grabbed a fork for my food and began to ate. I kept my eyes on my food to try and avoid any eye contact.

He could most certainly recognize Lea from Aya's memory, while he had seemed friendly enough to her he knew that some people could be completely different to others. But at the mention of Lea wishing to bring Aya's things to her, he stepped aside. "Yeah she's here, come in." He said, waiting for Lea to walk in before closing the door.
