Can't she just be direct?

Larcen downed his ninth glass of whisky as he put his arm around Chrona. 

"Listen brohtar, Anna is mine okay? Look at those beautiful gurls over there. Those gurls seem to like you a bit you know? I noticed a lot of them glance at you many times and shii so why do you want my stuff huh?"

"I like An-"

*Pak* 

Larcen smacked him on the back of his head, "You like the other gurls. Repeat after me. I, Corona like other girls. Anna belongs to my brohtar Lar, I mean Jack."

"But I like An-"

"OIII! Here, drink more.", he said and gave Bull a look and the next second, a full bottle of whisky was in shoved into Chrona's hand.

"Drink, you asshole, drink. You will drink until you give up on Anna, hahahahahahah!", he shouted as he forced the contents into his mouth, only to stop when he felt a smack on his head instead. 

"Oiii, who dares to- oh my dear Anna! Look at this tall piece of crap, he says he wants you and shi- oww don't pull my ears bitch!", he said as he pulled his hand off his now red earlobes.

"There is no need to bully him for that. Just look at him, he looks like he is about to empty the contents of his stomach. You can talk things out with him tomorrow when you are sober and also, even if he wants me, he won't get me so I seriously do not understand why you are getting so fired up."

Larcen ignored half of her words and pulled her onto his lap, locking her in place as he closed his eyes and rested his head on her shoulder. 

Sighing, Anna looked at Bull, who seemed the most sober among them all, and gave him an awkward smile. Everyone in the mall was partying. Some danced, some sang and some decided to move to a private place to do things but there were still many who were sitting around the large makeshift grill.

"Miss Anna, when we guys are drunk, this is how we usually are. Some laugh and smile a lot while some cry. There are also those who get extremely aggressive and those who are playful. This simply shows that Jack is possessive about you. I don't know if he says that to you when he is sober but well... ah, I need more meat.", he stood up to go fill his plate.

A slight smile bloomed on Anna's face but she sighed again when she saw the amount of meat and alcohol that was a few meters from the grill. There were hundreds of bottles of wine and whisky along with thousands of beer cans. The meat was also not less in the slightest and they had only managed to finish about 20% of what Larcen had brought out.

She leaned against him, feeling the warmth of his embrace as she enjoyed the view around her. Three days filled with despair, loss, and uncertainty had pushed many to the edgy and she hoped that the night would help them loosen up. 

'I need to get this guy back to the room first or who knows what he would do....', she thought as she looked around to ask someone for help but halfway through it, she changed her mind. 

'I have thirty-four SP..... That is like, 0.3 in strength so I should be able to carry him on my own hehe.'

She chuckled as she bought the strength pills and put them into her mouth before chewing them.

*******

Larcen woke up to Anna and Chrona talking a few meters away and that gave his brain a good enough shock that he sat up urgently and looked at them. 

Sensing his movements, both of them turned around. 

"Well, he woke up now, so can I talk to him?", he asked as he glanced at Larcen. 

".....tch. Sure.", she said and walked back to the bed before angrily sliding under the blanket. 

Larcen looked at him with a confused yet curious gaze and Chrona understood that he had to talk. 

"Um Jack, ummm..... here's the thing. I will stop pursuing Anna but in return I want you to do something for me."

Larcen smirked and simply shook his head, "Are you dumb? I don't care if you are pursuing her or not cuz she will never be yours as long as I live. Give me something else for whatever job you want me to do."

"Well.... fine. Let me see... You join Bull's team permanently and I will leave. This way, you can make some SP instead of giving it to the others. In return, I will do anything you ask as long as it is within my capabilities."

"Hmm... Alright.", Larcen said as he lay down again and pulled the blanket over his shoulder.

A few seconds later Anna whispered, "He left. Also, when is this Larcen guy going to sell the guns?"

"He said he will do it soon. As for how soon, I don't really know.", he said as he put his arm around her before adding, "I don't feel like going out today..... But I have to go no matter what. Gotta grind some SP so I can buy the stat pills early next week."

"Alright, I would like to join but I just hate blood. It's disgusting."

"You are a woman. You leak every month.", he said jokingly but she simply sighed. 

"Well, I don't. It's a medical condition and I can't really get pregnant because of it. It's something complicated and I didn't put any effort into remembering what the doctor said back then."

"Ah... then why did you stop me from doing it inside you back then?"

"Well.... I actually wanted you to do it inside but uh, I don't know why I said that back then. I thought you would say no and do the exact opposite but you were a good boy."

"..... Just why? Can't you just be direct with your wants? Are you like this all the time?", he asked and he could feel her nod and then shake her head.

'Forget trying to be direct with me. She seems to have problems being direct to herself.'
