"No… Don't do it!" [Adam]
His hands trembled and a horrified expression took over.
"It's too late. Everything will end with just this." [Felix]
Raised a hand above Adam, he prepared to bring down his might.
"I… I trusted you!" [Adam]
"HAHAHA!! This… is checkmate!" [Felix]
"Meow!" [???]
"Fwee!" [???]
A dark shadow slammed into them, sending them tumbling into the ground.
"Agh!" [Felix]
"Gah!" [Adam]
The two looked up and saw the shadowy figure in full view and lost heart. There was nothing they could do anymore.
"NOOO!!!" [Felix]
"Damn it Kilo! You knocked over our chess board!" [Adam]
Playfully tumbling around, Echo and Kilo interrupted Felix and Adam's game of chess.
"Meow!" [Kilo]
"Fwee!" [Echo]
The two continue to tussle on the ground without a care of the world.
"Echo, stay!" [Felix]
"Kilo, sit!" [Adam]
The two tepacs froze, staring at their owners with curious eyes before ignoring them.
"Hey! We know you understand what we're saying!" [Adam]
With a sigh, Felix raised his hand to stop Adam.
"Haa… Nevermind them. Let's just clean up." [Felix]
"...Can't be helped…" [Adam]
With nothing else they could do, the two crouched down and began to pick up the pieces one by one.
"Ugh… Now we have to restart…" [Felix]
"Uh… I think I'll pass on another game." [Adam]
"You're just saying that because you know you'll lose." [Felix]
"Yup." [Adam]
Felix's eyes went wide open and he stared at Adam.
("He… actually agreed?") [Felix]
"...What? Hurry up and clean up, I don't want to do it all by myself." [Adam]
"O-oh, yeah. I'm on it." [Felix]
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
"Phew… Finally done..." [Adam]
"That should've taken us about 2 minutes to clean up… How did the pieces get behind Sebastian's figurine collection?" [Felix]
"Have you considered using Felix search?" [Adam]
"...Are you treating me like a search engine?" [Felix]
"Are you not?" [Adam]
"I feel insulted. I'm all of the above." [Felix]
"...Elaborate." [Adam]
"I also have the Felix Dictionary section as well if you need it." [Felix]
"Then give me a really weird word." [Adam]
"Olfactory." [Felix]
"Doesn't sound that weird…" [Adam]
"Do you know what that means?" [Felix]
"It's something related to smell I think." [Adam]
Felix's jaw dropped. He was completely in disbelief that his best friend actually held some amount of intellect.
"...Holy crap you got that right." [Felix]
"It's not that big of a deal…" [Adam]
Seeing Felix's reaction got him weirdly excited, causing his eyes to wander off as he scratched the back of his head with one hand.
"...I've decided, we're going to celebrate." [Felix]
"Huh? Celebrate what?" [Adam]
"Your growth." [Felix]
He stood up and entered the kitchen. With a set goal in mind, he began scavenging what he thought would be suitable from the fridge.
"I've been saving this for something special." [Felix]
Bringing over a large bottle along with a few snacks as a side, he placed it on the table they had been using to play chess.
"Oh, I almost forgot the cups." [Felix]
Leaving for the kitchen, he returned with two very distinct cups.
"Aren't those… wine glasses?" [Adam]
"They're pretty fun to drink out of. Here, I'll pour you a drink." [Felix]
Placing a cup in Adam's hand and forcing him to hold it out, Felix took the large bottle and poured out a dark red liquid that foamed at the top.
"Ugh! What is this?!" [Adam]
He took a whiff of the smell, and retracted with disgust.
"It's alcohol. Try it." [Felix]
"...We're underage." [Adam]
"It's fine, it has a 0.02% alcohol content. We're in the green." [Felix]
"...I'll only try a bit." [Adam]
Closing his eyes, he took a small sip before showing an expression of delight.
"It's good?!" [Adam]
"Well duh, why do you think there are alcoholics?" [Felix]
He poured himself a drink and began to sip away at it as well.
"This is wine right?" [Adam]
"Yeah, but remember, low alcohol content." [Felix]
"Hm." [Adam]
With the reassurance known as Felix, Adam started to down multiple glasses of wine without regard for safety.
("Now let's see what happens.") [Felix]
Moments later, Adam's movements became sluggish and his words slurred.
"Y… You know~? H-How many, uh… m-many pizzas take to counter…? C-contour…? ...Conquer! The uh… frog well!" [Adam]
"...What? The hell was that?" [Felix]
"Its… uh, you know! That thing~! The thingy thing thing!" [Adam]
("...I would be regretting my decisions right about now, but this is actually really entertaining.") [Felix]
Adam started to slump over in his seat, clearly displaying his drowsiness.
"Hey, don't sleep on the couch." [Felix]
He prodded him with his foot, temporarily waking Adam up. Blinking multiple times, he grabbed Felix's foot.
"Hey what are you-?!" [Felix]
"Hi Kilo~. Are you here comfurt me~?" [Adam]
"Uh oh, Adam don't do it- AHAHAHA!!" [Felix]
His hand caressed Felix's foot, causing him to laugh uncontrollably.
"Huh~? This isn't Kilo~?" [Adam]
Felix retracted his foot, freeing him from his prison of tickles.
("I can safely say the plan worked.") [Felix]
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Previously in the kitchen…
("Let's grab a bottle of grape juice… Ah, here's that foam tablet.") [Felix]
Dropping a tablet into the grape juice, it disintegrated in an instant leaving no trace of it behind.
("Now it should foam and smell like alcohol. If I tell him it actually is alcohol, would he become drunk?") [Felix]
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Present time…
"Alright Adam, let's get you to bed." [Felix]
Standing up, he picked up Adam by the shoulder.
"Dang you're heavy- Woah!" [Felix]
Their balance shifted, causing them to fall over.
"Oof!" [Felix]
"Ungh…" [Adam]
("Is his pain reception lessened too?") [Felix]
Picking himself back up, he attempted to lift Adam once again.
"Come on you heavy bastard!" [Felix]
As he reached out to carry Adam, he instead was grabbed.
"Eh?" [Felix]
Pulled downwards, he found himself stuck as Adam's body pillow.
"Mmn… meat…" [Adam]
"Hey! Get off me!" [Felix]
He struggled to free himself, but it seemed that his physical strength was not up to par.
("Damn he's strong!") [Felix]
After trying for at least 30 minutes, he gave up.

When Vivian got home…
"I'm home~." [Vivian]
Looking out in the hallway, she saw two bodies on the floor.
"Huh?!" [Vivian]
Scrambling to take off her shoes, she rushed to them.
"What happened?! Are you okay- Eh?" [Vivian]
There laid Adam sleeping soundly with Felix wrapped in his arms. On the other hand, Felix was staring into the air with a blank expression.
"What is-" [Vivian]
"Don't even ask." [Felix]
