Chapter 21: 21) The morning after

Previous Chapter Next Chapter

The next morning, Octavia and Vinyls car pulled up in front of the bar. Octavia, Vinyl and Sapphire stepped out of the car and walked over to an alleyway next to the bar, which now had some windows smashed. In the alley, Mise lay on top of a pile of garbage bags, Treble hung upside down from a ladder and Rodens feet were pointing out of the top of a trash can, multiple beer bottles surrounding the unconscious men.

Mise was the first to open his eyes slowly. "Damn...close those fucking curtains Treble..." He moaned as he blocked the sunlight with his arm.

"Ok..." Treble replied as he moved himself, instantly falling flat on his face on the concrete. "Ow..."

"Ha ha...idiot..."

The girls stared with great disappointment, except for Octavia who was kinda used to the sight of Mise being hungover, she was more disappointed with Roden. Sapphire just rolled her eyes at the sight, but was slightly amused by Trebles pain, as was Vinyl.

Mise finally had enough energy to sit up and rub his head, he streched and yawned before his sights landed on the women who had their hands on their hips. "Ah shit...well, better get this over with so I can go slap myself multiple times with an ice pack."

He groggily climbed out of the pile of garbage bags and kicked Treble in the side of his torso, his face still on the floor. "Ow..."

"Get up dumbass, time to face the scorn of a woman."

"That is something no man should have to face while hungover, so I am just going to lie here and become acquainted with each little piece of glass and pebble that is currently stabbing my face like tiny razor blades..." Treble retorted while his voice was muffled by the ground.

"Your funeral." Mise then shakily walked over to the trash can and looked down it. "Roden, time to wake up buddy."

Rodens voice echoed out of the top of the can. "Just ten more hours please..."

"We ain't got that time dude, I don't think Tavi or Sapphire are willing to wait that long."

Rodens headache seemed to double in both pain and annoyance at the mention of those names. "Please place the lid on the can."

"Come on man..."

"I can't see them they can't see me that's how it works..."

"They know you're in the fucking trash can dude."

"Then close the lid and roll me home...don't make eye contact with them just rooooooooolllll..." Roden spoke as if he was high before falling back to sleep. Mise groaned and kicked the trash can over, causing Roden to slide out and hit his head off the ground. "Ow...rude..."

"It feels like I'm trying to throw up but nothing's coming out...oh...right...non-physical. How're you feeling Zanny?"

"I'm fine mister magic doplhin shark..."

"Alcohol is a hell of a drug."

"Let's just get these bozos somewhere they can get rid of their hangovers." Sapphire said as she walked over and helped Roden get to his feet with the help of Mise, while Vinly and Octavia got Treble. Treble was tossed in the trunk of the car while Octavia, Mise and Vinyl climbed in in drove off, coming back later to retrieve the tank and Trebles car. Meanwhile, Sapphire set Roden in the passenger seat of the hummer and hopped into the drivers seat before taking off down the road. "You've made a fool of yourself, aren't you supposed to be the mature one or something?"

"Hey, when you carry as much emotional crap as I do with no real method of beating said emotional crap, then you can talk shit..." Sapphire frowned at his tone. After shaking his head he sighed and slumped back in his seat. "I'm sorry...that's the headache and leftover alcohol talking."

"It's fine." Sapphire dismissed with a wave of her hand. "Just promise that you won't do something like this again."

"I can't promise that..."

"Then can you at least promise that you'll have a plan to actually get somewhere safe to rest afterwards and not have your only protection be a trash can?"

Roden nodded and placed a hand to his head. "Thank you for not putting me in the same car as Octavia, I am in no mood to deal with that, even when sober."

"What's the deal with you to anyway?" Sapphire asked curiously as she turned a corner.

Roden smiled softly under his scarf, which somehow was still neatly wrapped around his mouth. "Well, just over ten years ago..."


Meanwhile, Shard and Ditzy walked hand in hand towards their favourite store, which sold things such as manga, games, DVDs and other forms of collectables or different forms of media that they both bonded over. As they were walking, they noticed a young man walking towards them from the other side of the street. "Can I help you?" Shard asked politely, earning a happy nod from Ditzy.

The young man reached into his pocket and pulled out a photograph of Roden sitting at one of the schools benches with Treble. "Do you know where I can find this guy, the one in the green?" He asked.

Shard looked at the guy suspiciously before shaking his head. "I'm not sure where he is right now and I don't have his number, sorry."

"It's alright, thanks anyway." With that the man walked off.

Ditzy watched him walk away, feeling slightly uneasy. "What do you think he wants with Roden?"

"I'm not sure muffin, but whatever the case we should tell Roden that this guy is looking for him. From the tone of his voice, I don't think they're on good terms." Shard replied as he turned to his girlfriend. "But, before that, I believe that this place just got a fresh shipment of RWBY merch."

"I might finally be able to get a Yang figurine!" Ditzy exclaimed with glee as she dragged her boyfriend into the store.
