[And yet the groan does reach his ears. It crackles within his ear drums and his skin crawls. The flesh at the base of his neck tingles before erupting into a roll of pinpricks. The albino grimaces against the sensation before sitting up in a rather fluid motion.

A motion that also causes the fluid in his guts to stir and slosh... rising upward. He now sits on his haunches and his head slowly drifts backwards in an attempt to fight back the rising bile. His lips desperately press and meet, clinging on to every bit of strength he had.

Crimson eyes roll and lull before he wills himself to move further upward. His legs shift and he pushes himself back to stand...

Why?

To find that groan. Until he has to wonder if it was his own. That doesn't stop him from asking the void.]

Who's there?

[... Or so he thought he asked. Instead his voice is drowned in a murmur. Incoherent to all but himself. Any louder and he'd lose the contents of his stomach.]

[Fabric against fabric, a gentle friction, rustles all too loudly in the silence of the room. Takasugi braces against it, shoulders taut and breath thin as the sound of his own? someone else's?

What's the difference?

There's movement.

And then it's gone, silence reigning again but for the laborious breath in his chest. In their chests. The same stale air, the same noxious bite in their throat of alcohol and memories that choke tighter and tighter.

He's long since learned how to suck breaths without baring his teeth.

As close as they come to suffocation, there's still the need for air. To move and barrel forward with all the coordination of drunken stumbling. Vision blurry, but stare locked.

Even if they don't share the same view.]
