"You guys aren't even old enough to drink," Mikoto Uchiha's gentle demeanor vanished, her face stern as she scolded Nawaki.
"I'm not here, I'm not here," Minato thought, trying to hide behind the couch, hoping that the anger of Kushina and Mikoto would be directed at Nawaki and Xin instead of him.
But of course, Nawaki wasn't having it.
"Minato, what are you hiding for? You drank plenty last night too," he said, throwing Minato under the bus. "You're not getting out of this that easily!"
"Seriously, dude?" Minato thought, cursing under his breath. "You just had to drag me into this, didn't you?"
Under the deadly glares of Kushina and Mikoto, Minato slowly raised his hand. "It was... Xin who convinced me to drink."
Xin's smile froze. "You traitor!"
"Alright, so what? What's the big deal? Next time, we'll just invite you two to join us," Xin said, rolling his eyes and smacking the table. He couldn't stand the judgmental stares from the girls anymore. "I'm not just gonna sit here and take it."
Kushina and Mikoto were caught off guard, speechless for a moment. It seemed like he had a point. Drinking a bit wasn't that big of a deal. Plus, Xin promised to bring them along next time... Drinking with Xin could actually be fun.
Kushina's eyes sparkled with interest, and Mikoto raised an eyebrow, pondering the idea.
"Alright, it's settled then," Kushina smiled.
"Yeah, yeah, don't worry about it," Xin waved it off.
"We'll go make lunch," Mikoto said, smiling as she dragged Kushina into the kitchen.
Nawaki and Minato stood there, mouths hanging open. "Wait... what? Did that really just happen?"
The two of them stared in disbelief as Kushina and Mikoto, who had been so angry just a second ago, happily went off to make lunch. They then glanced at Xin, who was lounging on the couch like a king.
"This doesn't make any sense!" Nawaki thought, feeling frustrated. "They were so strict with us, but when Xin talked back, they just gave up and even agreed to drink with him next time!"
Minato could only chuckle, while Nawaki's mind started racing with ideas. "So... talking back confidently makes girls listen to you? Maybe I should try that."
