“Antheor rwuond!” Rang out in the restaurant, the statement from your boss being mostly met with resounding cheers from your colleagues. You didn’t like going out drinking, however it was a part of work-culture here so you were more or less forced to come along. As the night progressed and Okatsu drank far more than a woman her age reasonably should, it eventually fell on you to get her home safely since you were the most sober, however as you tried to lift the middle-age woman to her feet she practically went limp in your arms. “Whada mjyen I dow wana go ‘ome!!”
Ven Okatsu, ya es hora de ir a casa le digo mientras la sostengo en mis brazos ayudándola a caminar Ya has bebido mucho
Mmmmhmm... I wanna stay out... Not go home... Her voice is slurred and thick, making it almost incomprehensible as she meanders along with you. She leans her head against your shoulder, looking up at you with puppy-dog eyes that are quickly starting to lose focus due to the amount of alcohol she's consumed. "Pweeze..."
Vamos, sabes que si sigues bebiendo mucho mañana tendrás una resaca mucho más fuerte, además una dama como tú no debe andar así de mal la cargó suavemente en mis brazos mientras la comienzo a llevar a su casa
"Hm... Okay.... I'll be good... No more..." She mutters, her eyelids drooping as she closes them, trying to ignore the fact that you're carrying her and walking through the empty streets at this hour. Her breath hitches in a tiny whimper before exhaling slowly, feeling safe and protected in your arms despite not wanting to admit it. "Pweeze... don't leave me...." She whispers, burying her face deeper into your shoulder as tears prick the corners of her eyes.
Oh cariño, que pasa por que lloras pequeña? Le digo mientras la veo con cariño mientras la sigo llevando a su casa
*She sniffles, fighting back more tears as she burrows even closer to you. "I... I don't know...," she whispers pathetically. Her chest hitches again with a small sob as she squeezes her eyes shut tightly. The warmth of your body feels nice and familiar against hers, making it easy for her to confide in you even though this is completely unlike her normal self. "I'm... I'm just tired..."
la beso suavemente en las frente mientras terminamos de llegar a su casa Bueno cariño, ya estamos en casa, te ayudaré a acomodarte para que duermas y me iré a mi casa
She nods weakly against your shoulder, sniffling again as you help her into the house and guide her to her bed. The warmth and comfort of her bed welcome her with open arms, and she practically falls onto it in relief. As you tuck her in and kiss her forehead, she gives you a watery smile, the alcohol making her feel overly affectionate towards you. "Thank you...," she whispers sleepily, nestling further into her pillow as exhaustion finally takes hold and pulls her under.
con suavidad le quitó sus zapatillas, la arropó como una niña pequeña y después de besar su mejilla bueno corazón, ya es hora de que me vaya a mi casa, duerme y descansa bien
"Mmmhmm..." she mumbles, her words already starting to slur. "Good night... I'll see you tomorrow...," she adds vaguely before drifting off into a deep sleep, her breathing even and peaceful for once. Tomorrow, she thinks hazily, I'll be productive and focused at work... maybe even find time to go to the gym? She smiles slightly in her dreams as her body is engulfed by the comfort of her bed and the safety of knowing Abadom is nearby.
apago la luz de su cuarto, me aseguro que cerrar todo correctamente y me voy a mi casa, con una sonrisa en mi cara por haber sido un buen tipo
As you leave the room, her sleep deepens and she doesn't stir. Tomorrow morning, with a throbbing headache and crushing embarrassment, she will wake up to the realization that she has done it again... but for now, she is finally at peace, even if only for a little while.
al día siguiente me despierto y después de mi rutina mañanera, recuerdo pasar por ella a su casa ya que seguramente tendrá una fuerte resaca
The next morning, you can't help but feel guilty as you pass by her house again. She'll be in even more pain today, thanks to your forgetting about her and getting her drunk last night... You should probably check on her later or maybe bring her some food? At least she wouldn't have to face the world with this horrible hangover all by herself. With a sigh, you continue your walk to work, trying not to think too much about it.
sin embargo no puedo dejar de pensar amén ella así que después de comprar algo de comida para ella, regreso a su casa y tocó el timbre Okatsu, soy Abadom te traje algo para desayunar, abre por favor
As you hear the knocking at her door, Okatsu stirs awake with a groan. Her head feels like it's going to explode and she can barely keep her eyes open as she staggers over to the door, fumbling with the locks before yanking it open. She immediately blinks up at you in confusion, tears pricking the corners of her reddened eyes.
"Ah... Abadom..." She croaks out weakly, taking the food from you and practically devouring it. "Thank you... I wasn't expecting to see anyone today..." Her voice trails off as she takes another bite, not quite able to meet your gaze.
sonrió dulcemente mientras la veo comer Como te sientes, aún te duele la cabeza?
"I'm... okay-ish?" She mumbles around another bite. "Just need to rest more... I think the alcohol isn't quite out of my system yet..." She takes a long drink from a glass of water, trying to soothe her throbbing head. The thought of having to go back to work, face her employees and the mountain of paperwork she has to deal with only makes her stomach turn.
"I wish I could just... take today off..." She sighs wistfully, looking away from you and out the window.
Bueno sabes que puedes tomar el día libre si te reportas enferma, incluso yo seré tu testigo si necesitas uno le digo con suavidad, tratando de ayudarla en ese mal estado
Okatsu looks at you, surprised. "Really? You'd do that for me?" Her voice is small and quiet, barely above a whisper. She swallows hard before meeting your gaze, trying to ignore the way her chest tightens in response to your kindness. It had been so long since anyone had done anything like this for her... "I-I don't know what I'd do if I didn't have work..." she mumbles, almost speaking to herself now.
"Maybe... maybe I should take the day off and just sleep? Or go for a walk or something?" She trails off, not quite convinced by her own words. The idea of not having anything to do is both thrilling and terrifying at the same time.
Si porsupuesto, además estoy seguro que no tendrás problemas ya que es muy probable que muchos no vayan hoy al trabajo ya que muchos se quedaron bebiendo demasiado anoche le digo mientras le entrego una taza tibia de café
With a small smile, she takes the cup of coffee gratefully and wraps her hands around it. "Thank you, Abadom," she whispers quietly before taking a sip. The warm liquid sends shivers of pleasure down her spine, making her feel almost human again for a moment. She sighs softly, contemplating your words. Maybe today won't be so bad after all...? Maybe she could find something to do that would make her happy? It was such a strange and foreign thought, but it didn't sound half-bad. "I think... I think maybe I should take your advice," she says finally, looking up at you with an expression of hope that makes your heart ache. "Thank you again... for everything."
No hay de que, tu también me has ayudado mucho desde que llegué a este trabajo, después de todo eres mi Senpai digo de manera cómica al final para hacerla reír
She snorts, managing a small laugh. "Well, I'm glad I could help. And don't forget, you can always come to me if you need anything." Her voice is soft and sincere, almost making it sound like she means it. Maybe they could actually be more than just co-workers...? Nah, that was ridiculous. They had their roles to play in life and couldn't risk crossing those lines, no matter how tempting the thought might be. "So... what about you? Any plans for your day off?" She asks politely, trying to change the subject before her thoughts wander down a path they shouldn't.
Bueno... En realidad no tengo nada pensando, lo único que puede pensar en la mañana cuando estaba de camino a na oficina era en ti así que en realidad no tengo otra cosa que hacer, después de todo ya es algo tarde para ir a la oficina le digo con calma mientras la veo con cariño
She flushes slightly at your words, feeling a warmth spread through her chest. "Oh... really? There's nothing you'd rather do?" Her voice is soft and hopeful as she looks up at you with wide eyes. Maybe there was some chance for them after all...? No, of course not. They couldn't risk it. But just the thought made her heart flutter a little in her chest. "Well, I suppose if there's nothing else you need to do..." she starts hesitantly, trying to think of something they could do together that wouldn't cross any lines. "We could... go for a walk or something? Get some fresh air?" She offers, her voice almost unnaturally light and bright despite the heavy implications hanging in the air between them.
Bueno eso me gustaría, después de todo estar contigo me hace feliz digo sonriendo suavemente
She blushes deeply at your words, feeling warmth spread through her entire body. "R-really? That... that makes me happy too," she stammers out, not quite able to meet your gaze. Taking a deep breath, she tries to steady herself, forcing down the butterflies in her stomach. Perhaps this was something they could try, after all... "Alright then, let's go for a walk!" She agrees with a bright smile, already feeling lighter and more hopeful than she had in days.
As you head out together, hand in hand, the air feels crisp and invigorating, washing away some of the awkwardness that had been lingering between you before. Okatsu finds herself talking nonstop, telling you stories from her childhood and laughing at the memories. It's easy to forget that they're not just friends anymore, if they
