Chapter 3: Bartender, Another Shot

The tallying sytem had gone like this so far.

Rosette: 19

Chrno: 17

Satella: 13

In other words, all of these fools that are drunker than sin.

It all had started when Rosette challenged both Satella and Chrno to a drinking game just after Azmaria had left for bed. The rules were like pig in basketball. You had to do the same thing as the person before you. If they fail in their shot, it goes to the second person in line.

Satella, being the birthday girl, got to go first and started off with one shot. Rosette and Chrono followed. After about Satella's 10th shot, she passed her turn and it went to Chrno. The demon successfuly downed eight more, and by that time, Rosette had flat out forfited. Chrno did a victory shot, then fell out of his chair.

Satella went up stairs, a head ache pounding in her skull, leaving the drunken duo to battle it out.

"I beated you." Chrno slured, his grammer horrible.

"So, I'm the better lookin' one." Rosette said sipping on a frozen beverage.

"Ha, No way Jose, I's so better loo-," The demon paused and gazed at her through half lidded eyes. "Nope, you beated me there." A goofy grin graced his lips.

Rosette giggled and leaned back so the chair was on two legs. "I got you beat pointy."

"Pointy?" The violet haired demon asked with his eye brow cocked.

"Your ears, they's pointy." She said leaning across the table to run a finger over them. The demon let out a purr and lay his chin on the table. "You're makin's fun of me again. First you poked fun at my height, but now I's the taller one, and now's you teasen me about my ears. I think you jealous." He said with a grin.

"How would I be jealous of you being short? You was a pipsqueak." Rosette said flicking his nose.

"Meanie." The demon grumbled patheticly.

They sat like that for a while, Rosette sitting back in her chair so it rested on two legs again. The chair wobbled, then fell back, tossing Rosette from the seat.

"Rosette!" The demon stamered jumping up and runnning to her. Falling to his knees, he lay his hands on either side of her head and lookied into her swirling eyes. "Rosette." he whispered, his breath smelling like alcohol.

"Your breath stinks." She grumbled trying to sit up but only ending up pushing her thigh up between his legs. Both froze, Chrno's breath stoping and his eyes widening. Stammering something, Rosette scuddled back in a crab like fashion. Chrno fell back on his butt, breathing heavly and his eyes half lidded.

"Ch-Chrno?" Rosette stammered looking at the statue like demon. Nothing moved other than his chest as he breathed in deeply.

After a moment he looked up, tawny eyes glazed over. "Huh?" He asked, voice huskey.

"Are you alright?" The blond haired girl asked, that moment of fright sobering her up some.

Some.

"No." He ground out, scooting back.

The tone of his voice didn't register like it would for a sober person would have, and she followed his movement. Sitting up close to him, almost between his legs, she reached up a hand and ran it over his cheek. "Why not Chrno?" She asked almost inocently.

Almost.

The demon's eyes widened and he tried to move further back, but his braid pressed into his back as he met with a wall.

"Be-becuse." he stammered, blood pounding in his head. What's she doing? He thought in a panic, trying to find away from this situation. Not that I mind. A part of his mind said as Rosette sat down next to him, her bare arms brushing against the silk, which felt really hot about now.

"That's not a good answer silly." She said, her breath tickling his neck.

"You- you're being strange." He grunted, the alcohol in his blood making his vision go blurred for a second.

"Really?" She asked. "Whould you think it was strange if I kissed you?" Her voice never wavered as she brushed her lips over his jaw line. "Humm?" She cooed into his ear.

The demon blushed and pushed away from the drunken Rosette. "You're drunk. You don't know what you're doing." He hissed.

"Ch-chrno..." She whimpered, fidgenting with her hands. "I do want to kiss you. It's not the wine or the liquor, I just don't have the courage to do it sober." She huffed as a few tears rolled down her cheeks and dampened the blue dress she wore.

"Rosette..." He said softly bending down and picking her up, cradling her in his arms effortlessly. "Don't cry."

"But, you don't want me to kiss you! you must hate me!." She wailed, the alcohol changing her mood drasticaly.

"I do, just not when you're like this." He whispered, laying his cheek against he forehead.

"Like what?" She asked, hands wringing her drees nerviously.

"Like a drunken fool." He whispered.

"But I already told you. I don't h-" A groan cut her off as Chrno lay his lips over hers, letting her slip to her feet as he bent down to not lose contact. Her hands fisted for a second, but relesed the dress and wraped her arms around his neck. He let his lips move against hers as his left hand ran down her side.

Pulling back slowly, the violet haired demon's eyes were half lidded. "Happy?" He murmered as he started his way up the stairs. I soft flush graced Rosette's cheeks and she nodded subconciously.

"Good. I don't know I'd be able to control myself again." He said with a lop sidded grin, alcohol staining his cheeks pink.

He opened the door and wandered into Rosette's room and sat her on the bed. "You gunna be ok?" He asked stepping back as she flopped down on the bed.

"Iz dunno." She slurred.

"Lovely." He groaned and unbuttoned the silk he wore. "I'll stay with you, just to be sure you don't drowned in your own vomit." He growled pulling off the belt and tossing it next to the shirt. "Do you care to change?" He asked cocking an eyebrow at the bubbling nun.

"Mmhm." She said nodding. Standing she walked so his back was to her and Chrno could hear her dress slid off her body and onto the floor. In a few moments, Rosette walked back and wore a silky night gown that was a worn out magenta. The blond flopped down onto her bed and patted the spot next to her. "Nigt time Chrno." She murmered.

Swallowing, Chrno nodded and lay next to her and pulled the covers up over them. "No funny business. Ok Rosette?" He said in all serioisness. She murmered a soft yes and he wrapped her hands around her waist. Sighing contently as her hands lay softly over his.

"Night Rosette." Chrno cooed, liquor causing a soft buzz to travle up his spine and start to lull him to sleep. The tawny eyed devil lay a soft kiss on the back of her neck right where her blond locks parted.

"Nigh' Chrn'." She whispered leaning into his toutch. He listened to her breathing til it was shallow and even.

Not as long as I would have liked it to be, but next chapters will be fun. Here's a quick question. Should chapter four have two parts? Its all the same events, just the first half is Rosette's Pov then Chrno's.

Like, this for example, Rosette's then Chrno's.

I walked down the halls, Chrno padding softly behiend me. The clock ticked rythmicly at my chest and I lay a hand over it.

I followed my contractor obediently, my feet making little noise as we walked down the halls of the order. I saw her move her arm to rest on the life clock, the thing I was drain her life from.

Like that. let me know what you think. Caio (or chow or WETF it is) for now... P/H over and out. Sorry, I had the chapter done a while ago...I was just being lazy...
