It was yet another stressful night for a certain dark-haired young male. His college roommates returned to their shared dorm and found a frustrated Lee sitting at his desk, mumbling something about being an art student and 'Why the hell do I have to write this stupid paper'.
His roommates, Sam and Elliot, simultaneously shook their heads as they headed toward their anxious friend.
"Lee~" The brunette, Sam, mused, grabbing the back of the swivel chair and turning him to face away from his laptop.
"Why don't we go out, mm?" The blonde, Elliot, suggested.
Lee allowed his chair to be turned and just looked sadly at his friends. "But, I... It's due tomorrow," he tried, yet Elliot's grin and Sam's devious smirk tempted him to go along with whatever they had in mind.
"Drinks, Lee! Come on, I know where we can score your favorite stuff." The blonde promised though a momentary hesitant glance toward Sam piqued Lee's curiosity. His bright smile quickly returned after a nod from the brunette and before he could resist, Elliot grabbed his wrist and pulled him up out of the chair and toward the door and to the club they frequented.
A few hours and a few fruity drinks later, along with Elliot pulling through and scoring a few pills as promised, Lee was lying in a quiet booth, feeling quite relaxed. Sam and Elliot were on either side of the long booth, keeping their drunk and high friend safe.
Lee hummed happily, thoroughly enjoying the pleasant high that coursed through his body. "You know, guys... There's one more thing that'll make me feel so... so much better." Grinning slyly he tilted his head back to catch a glimpse of Elliot's face behind him before looking ahead of him at Sam. He caught a certain knowing look they shared and he tried to sit up, his movements shaky and uncertain. "H-Hey, guys, what the fuck are you thinking? Gambling after I thought you were freaked about that guy. That uhh..." He hummed in thought as he finally sat up fully. Leaning too far ahead, he crashed into Sam who kept still to allow his friend to steady himself against his larger build. "I-Ishida? Right? Ishida..."
Sam and Elliot shared an uneasy look.
"You thought I'd forget? Guys, I love you guys. If I could I'd help, I don't have any money really, but..." He went to fish his wallet out of his pocket before Sam grabbed his wrist, stopping him. Lee couldn't help but grin, "Sam, you know I love a bit of roughness. Are you offering?"
"I think you've had enough. Let's go home." Sam frowned watching Lee's grin disappear, though it seemed to quickly return.
Before he could allow Lee to finish that thought he kept his grip on his wrist and pulled him forward out of the booth as he stood. Ensuring Lee was for the most part steady on his feet they went to leave the club. Both Sam and Elliot seemed to let out a breath of relief as they safely exited the club. Only, a few steps out of the doors and near the alleyway did they spot a very familiar face. "Shit, Elliot..." Sam got his friend's attention who seemed to have already spotted the figure.
"Ishida." The brunette and blonde both spoke at the same time. They couldn't run, not after the man saw them. "Give us some more time. Please." Sam spoke up, his grip still on Lee's wrist.
