Rami immediately helped Garrette to stand up and ask if he was okay. Seeing that he was in pain, he felt awful, but truthfully, he didn't regret it, "Are you okay, Garrette? I'm so sorry, I didn't mean it!"
'Why did he do that anyway? It's not my fault that my instinct acts on its own!!' Rami complained inwardly.
"I'm okay. You don't need to be sorry." Garrette said to Rami while patting his head when he saw Rami looked so awful.
Garrette let out a slight groan when someone touched his back. The force of being thrown had been too strong, shocking him even more because it came from someone like Rami.
After Garrette reassured everyone that he was fine, they continued what they were doing and enjoyed the rest of the day as if nothing had happened. They headed home before twilight, walking back merrily.
Days passed with their usual interactions.
Slowly, their suspicion of Rami faded without them even noticing. As they spent more time together, their affection and infatuation for him only deepened—Dark included. When they finally realized it, they accepted it easily. After all, what could they do? Rami was simply too lovable.
With each passing day, the one-month deadline set by his eldest brother crept closer, making Rami increasingly anxious and regretful.
He didn't want to leave.
He hoped the others, especially Dark, would eventually force him to leave rather than him choosing to walk away himself. If it came to that, he could accept it. He would simply do whatever it took to return and live with them again.
Life here was nothing like his home. Here, he felt wanted... needed.
Unfortunately, he couldn't break his promise to his eldest brother. He had to comply and fulfill what he owed them. His third brother even called just to remind him of the promise he made to their eldest.
Now, with only one day left before his deadline, he still felt no progress in his relationship with Dark.
'I need to do something!!' Rami thought.
'Why don't I make him drunk and----' That thought crossed Rami's mind, but he shook his head to immediately oppose it and store it in the back of his head.
He couldn't think of any other way until his mind returned to the idea he had earlier—getting Dark drunk. Shameless and desperate, yes, but what else could he do? He wanted Dark badly. His obsession. He would have him, by hook or by crook. He didn't care anymore.
After strengthening his resolve, he began planning what he needed to do.
Unfortunately, his plan involved Ryuzaki and Avery as well. He could only hope that, after all this, they would forgive him.
That night. . . .
Rami invited Ryuzaki and Avery for drinks, which made them look at him in confusion, wondering why he suddenly asked when they were usually the ones inviting him—and sometimes he even turned them down. Still, they eventually agreed, delighted and unsuspecting of his hidden intention.
Rami also asked them to invite the others, especially Dark. If they refused, he told them to just say he was the one who invited everyone and that he wanted them to try a new mix of his homemade alcohol recipes. Surprisingly, they didn't refuse at all—they agreed immediately.
At exactly nine in that very evening, they all gathered in the basement, which has the sanctuary's personal bar.
Rami brought out his specially prepared menu for that night and let them choose what they wanted to taste.
After the others choose their drinks, he starts mixing them.
The first one Rami made was a Strawberry Galaxy that Avery ordered. Followed by the other's orders.
Surprisingly all of them tried each list of the recipes that he provided. According to them, it's so delicious that they can't stop drinking for more
Rami only laughs at that.
He let them drink and enjoy the moment while he occasionally drank his own preferred drink, which is an original Bloody Mary.
When all of them were already tipsy, Rami began his plan.
During the time that Dark ordered another Mai Tai with his own version. While mixing the man's order, after observing that no one notices or watching him, he added a little amount of "wild fantasy" into it.
"Wild Fantasy" is an especially made type of drug with Fenugreek as the main ingredient along with other herbals that can boost a man's libido. Fenugreek is an ancient ingredient that is similar to clover. It is a herbal remedy that has been used for many ailments and is known for having libido-boosting benefits. One study found that men given 600 milligrams of fenugreek over six weeks experienced greater sexual arousal and improved orgasms.
Rami already decided.
He wanted to take advantage of the situation now and do the deeds. Make an unforgettable memory between him and Dark. Even with just this one moment, even if it is despicable, he'll be with him.
He wanted to give himself to Dark only—all of him. His body, heart and soul. His crazy, beyond salvation. He knows that. But as he already said. He didn't care anymore.
