BAD DAYS...

A targeted slap hit Vita's already cold cheeks .

He felt it deep down , his face suddenly hot and stinging .

Usually when Vita heard a noise or felt something , it did not matter how long this noise lasted , he was usually up in a beat .

Now , he could hear Nero .

He could feel the stinging slap , yet , he could not seem to get his body to move like he wanted .

It was like his brain had abandoned it's job to send signals and opted to be a dead weight .

A very heavy dead weight .

His head hurt , the weight of his head had suddenly tripled .

Finally , he opened his eyes .

He was lying on some kind of make shift couch .

Nero was standing over him , naked and staring down at him .

Vita put his hand to his head to hold it up , he really did not believe his neck could support his head right now .

As he held his head up , he adjusted himself to a seating position .

When he was finally in a seating position , Nero's flapping organ came face to c**k with him .

Nero was naked ???

Vita touched himself , his shirt was gone .

He did not trust Nero to respect him as family or a friend and not do it with him .

Nero had paid him many unwarranted compliments .

Wait , Nero had complained of back pains some times .

That is , when he had met someone that he wanted to f**k him and not vice versa , which was really quite rare .

But , Vita felt no pain except the one from his head .

He discreetly begin to inch his fingers towards his back , if he poked he might feel pain that would confirm what he suspected .

He was almost there when Nero stomped his feet causing another dangling .

He looked up , despite the severe pain that came with it .

Nero was glaring at him , eyes narrowed to slits and his blonde hair disheveled , the kind of dishevel that was obviously not from a good nights rest .

" Unbelievable , what do you think of me ? "

Nero asked him while dragging a hand through his hair .

Vita was not sure how to react .

And his head hurt too much for him to care about if Nero was hurt .

Nero , unhappy at being ignored struck Vita's head .

" You are not my type , you don't have the looks to fit . And besides , I like my bed partners high or intoxicated maybe even highly intoxicated and definitely not drunk ".

Vita groaned loudly .

Then , he looked around , he was surprised at where he was .

They were at The Haze , except the wild party was finished .

There were naked people sleeping everywhere , some even in piles and others still holding their drinks .

He even spotted a couple with one of their organs still in his partners organ , even though it was flaccid now .

He looked back to Nero wondering under which of this piles his clothes were .

" How are we still here ? "

He really was not sure how they had got here or how he had ended up here , drunk .

He knew his limit .

Nero scoffed .

" I should be asking you that , you know your limit and then knowingly passed it ".

Vita was confused at this piece of information , he frowned but even this motion seemed too extreme , his head began to throb more .

He stopped trying to think and asked the obvious question .

" Where are your clothes ?"

Nero sighed loudly and came to sit by his side on the couch .

Vita moved , avoiding contact with him , goddess knew where his body had been .

He stopped trying to move away when he realized that only the goddesses knew where he had also been .

" I left my coat and clothes with one of the attendants , but , seems one of the people here thought it would be nice to try on brigadier clothes " .

Vita nodded as if he understood , he really did not want to discuss the importance that was attached to the insignia on their coats .

He remembered something .

" Wait , didn't I also leave my coat with you ? "

Nero turned to him fully with what was supposed to be a sheepish expression .

It looked extremely foolish to Vita .

He could not even be as angry as he wanted to be , his head hurt too much for complicated thoughts .

Nero was giving him an expectant look .

Vita sighed .

" What ? "

Nero smiled gleefully , adding a little clap .

" How did you lose track of your drink ? It has never happened , I am really curious ".

Vita blinked , he remembered the first drink he had .

It had been an unknown drink , so he had been unable to fathom how much effect it would have on his limit .

So , he had decided not to have any more drinks .

Then , what had happened ?

It seemed like his brain had been waiting for just that question .

It came flooding in , Vita recalled seeing Juno and the owner of The Haze together , they had been watching what was happening below .

Then , came Juno's attire that had rendered his heartbeat rate out of commission .

He remembered a particularly enticing drawing that had been on Juno's skin.

He remembered thinking of how Juno would look naked on his sheets while he traced the drawing with his tongue .

Then , what ?

Yes , Juno had come to talk to him and he had offered him a drink .

Vita groaned aloud , he had foolishly accepted this second drink that he should never have accepted .

Nero had been watching the different emotions as they had flit across Vita's face , he was getting impatient that Vita was not saying anything .

Since they had been children , this was Vita's first drunk experience and Nero wanted to know everything .

Meanwhile , Vita had resorted to hitting his head .

How could he have been stupid enough to accept another drink just because someone he was attracted to had offered it .

As if that was not enough , he recalled running while they held hands , he had begun to feel sick by then .

Then , what ?

It was like his memory was trying to cause him as much trouble .

He was remembering each and every memory and it was even more embarrassing than the last .

He had passed out on Juno .

What else had they done ?

His memory seemed to end there .

He turned to Nero who looked extremely unfrustrated .

" I only remember to a point , I don't remember what happened after that ".

Nero nodded , waiting for more .

When he realized he was not getting anymore , he told him what he had seen when he had gone looking for Vita .

" When I came looking for you , you were sitting on the ground and he was crouched over you . You two seemed intimate and were saying something about dreams ".

He looked on , expecting that to successfully bring back all of Vita's memories .

Vita had blanked .

Dreams ?

They had been talking about dreams , had he been the one talking about dreams ? None of the dreams he had of Juno were dreams he wished to share with other people especially Juno himself .

He could only recall that they had been alone , it had been dark and Juno had been holding him up .

What exactly had he done?

He turned once more to Nero .

" This is all your fault , I told you we didn't need to do this ".

Nero glared right back .

" The plan did not involve you following pretty boy to some dark hole , you did all that on your own " .

Vita gasped dramatically .

Nero hissed at Vita's reaction .

If only Nero had been clothed , they would have been talking with their fists .

Vita looked around then back at Nero's unclothed form .

" We have to leave here before it becomes light out ".

Vita was not sure how much time they had till daybreak .

Almost like clockwork , a c**k crowed somewhere not so far away .

Nero got up , flashing Vita another view of his c**k .

It was a new day and still , it had become one of Vita's worst days .

Nero moved away , touching different people as they slept , he was looking for one that was similar in size to him .

Vita looked down at himself , he wondered just how disheveled his face looked .

He looked up when he heard a sound .

Nero was back and he was in a strange trouser that stopped just below his knees .

The trouser was large through out but had an elastic waist , the hems of the trouser were also slim fitted and elastic .

Nero looked like a clown with boots on .

At the very least , he had gotten a top that looked relatively normal .

He stretched his hand out to help Vita up , Vita accepted it and stood up .

" We can't go through the front gates ".

Vita reasoned out loud , he could not imagine if anyone recognized them especially with the joke Nero had put together as clothes .

Nero nodded .

" There should be some other way we can go out through , see , it was a good idea not to bring horse ".

Vita gave him a look .

It had been Vita's idea not to bring horses , he had been scared that Fabia might get stolen again .

They began to walk by the walls searching for an opening .

Nero walked ahead at first but Vita had changed that .

Nero's trouser had kept bouncing with each step he took , Vita found it very distracting .

He had developed a sudden urge to tear the trouser .

So , before his urge could win , he had quickly gone ahead .

After they had walked by the walls for about five minutes using the early morning light , they stopped walking .

They could hear some sounds from just a little up ahead .

Specifically , grunts and huffs .

They exchanged looks , Vita signed for them to turn back .

They had no idea who was there or what they were doing .

Someone laughed at that moment and Vita could have recognized that laugh anywhere .

Abandoning their plan to turn back and leave , he surged ahead and into the opening where two people laid , one on top of the other .

They were both naked from the waist up and sweating furiously so early in the morning .

Juno sat atop Ali's chest , both of their chests heaving slightly .

When Juno noticed him , he looked surprised as he got to his feet and held out his hand for Ali .

Vita watched all this with an increasingly questionable feeling .

He watched as Juno smiled at him , the kind of smile a parent would give a naughty child .

He mumbled something to Ali and began to walk to where Vita stood trying to get over the unfounded anger .

As Juno approached him , he saw that the drawings had began to fade off .

Something caught Vita's eye , a mark he was sure he had never seen on Juno's skin .

It was on his neck , just below his ear and it was red .

Vita looked back at where Ali stood , it was too far off and not bright enough to make out his expression .

Had they done that and then , come out to do this ?

Vita took a step back .

Scratch what he had thought earlier of this being one of the worst days of his life .

This was not one of , this was Vita's worst day ever .
