[The story will be updated every Saturday Next chapters a bit bigger than this so thought I'd upload this a little early. I don't really know how to do notes since this is my first fan fiction. Hope you guys enjoy]
"Uhhh Jasper it's only like five," Steven said as he traced his eyes around the room with obvious worry.
"Jasper you're such an alcoholic," Lapis said staring to the now center of the herd with a stern face.
"Hey you always drink with me I just thought we could liven things up even more," Jasper almost sounding defensive once she was called an alcoholic. "So how many glasses Lapis I know you want to drink up too." A smirk reentering her face with those last words sliding off.
"Alright I'll go grab us each a glass," Lapis said reluctant to get into a quarrel with her friend. Lapis did drink quite often with Jasper but with recent finances she hasn't gone out often or at all. "Make yourselves comfortable guys the couch only seats two people," calmly said as she opened the cupboard.
After grabbing the glasses she turned around to see Peridot awkwardly standing beside the couch facing her while Jasper laid across the whole thing. Steven was grabbing a couple of the chairs from the kitchen to place them along the other side of the room. Bringing the glasses Lapis pointed to a small table in front of the T.V for Steven to bring over to the three.
"Alright so the rule is if you're decided on you have to take a drink since some of you are feather weights I bet, you don't have to do a full shot." Her strong slightly gruffly voice over powered the room. Steven and Peridot now drawing close to the table as Steven sat on the floor slowly pouring each glass on the table he set down full. "I'll go first, Most likely to be a prostitute," she said after those words Stevens face exploded with color.
"Hey that's a bit much to start the game isn't it," Steven said with fully bewildered eyes gazing at everyone. Lapis let out a small snicker this man was one of the oldest here and talking about prostitutes still bothered him.
"Well I'd say Jasper but people don't want to pay for desperate prostitutes so I guess me," The blue hair girl declared laughing at the thought of Steven being one. "That is unless Steven or Peridot want to make a case."
"Hey I'm not that bad, people just aren't ready for my kind of love," Jasper desperately said to everyone in the room. After a few moments of no one disagreeing but Steven looking a little bit hurt Lapis took her drink. She did the whole shot since it's been awhile since she'd been able to get drunk.
"Alright if we're going in a circle that leaves you shorty," Jasper rasped at the small blonde that hadn't spoken since she had the scone. As eyes began to fall on her, her head then shot up staring Lapis in the eye as she spoke.
"What is the point of this game also couldn't I just lie for myself," she said as she turned her face to Steven the only one with answers.
"Well the point is for everyone to get to know each other an," The boy was interrupted as Jasper started waving her hand around.
"Don't worry everyone will get more truthful the more we drink," she said smiling and slowly lifting her body to sit up. While looking directly at Peridot she started patting the other side of the couch. Peridots body seemed to tense up at the monster welcoming it to its cave but still caved into sitting next to it. "Now spill your question," Jasper said with a bit of a menace in her words.
"If I must, who is most likely to end up alone," she said as if emotions drained from her face as she said it. "I'd vote myself I don't seem to get along too well with people, they're mostly so irritating and not understanding. Also I don't understand them but it's their fault," Peridot started seething as her speech went on.
"Well your wrong Jaspers got you beat there," Lapis said looking down to the couch she was standing several feet from. "Ohh how she wishes that someone anyone would fall for her but when she tries and tries to get them she always ends up drinking herself drunk, then even her pickup lines can't hold her up." Lapis dramatically flared her arms out as she sullenly exclaimed her point. Jasper looked her straight in the eyes with visible seething rage as she downed her shot. "That's also revenge for calling me a prostitute," Lapis said gleefully.
"Alright well seems like I also get to ask a question, which of us would be the friendliest to a stranger," she lightly pointed her finger at Steven. He slowly picked up his cup while everyone around just stared. Lapis was right Steven was going to join them on drinking now it was just time to find out if the mystery girl would.
"That's just not fair Lapis," Steven said looking downward as he filled his face with his two inch cup. "Well if Lapis would like to play like that," Stevens's voice was gaining momentum as he spoke. That sparkle in his eyes appeared as if this was intended as more then revenge. "Which of us like, likes their own gender," Lazuli raised her hand to drink as she looked around Peridot seemed to be shaking with her hand up.
"I know Steven is aware of this so I can't lie but I am gay." Peridot coldly stated aloud to the group. Lapis seeing now why Steven wanted her to be his roommate. This was his master plan he was shipping the two people just meeting today. After Lapis had her revelation she looked over to Steven whose smile said it all staring back at Lapis.
"Well actually I am pretty damn gay Peridot," Lazuli almost having a hard time saying this aloud under these circumstances. "I mean I guess no more than someone who is full so if you are too we can both take a shot to that," curiosity got the best of her competitive side. Peridot stared back at Lapis wide eyed while she brought the cup to her mouth taking it all in. The burning liquid forced her to begin coughing in front of the group.
"I'm gayer," Peridot slowly pulled her gaze away from Lapis as she spoke those words softly. Lapis chuckled as she fixed her gaze back to Jasper sitting on the couch. The white haired girl on the sofa happened to be a bisexual and Steven was straight. They played the game for another good chunk of time with Jasper and Lapis often having questions aimed towards the other.
The night went by fast each one enjoying and slowly the more alcohol the louder each of them got. Peridot began speaking about as much as Steven if not more while Steven ended up getting a lot more touchy feely with everyone. He started walking around hugging each of them and this recurred several times an hour. While Lapis also got a bit happier with razor blade of doubt lifted from the wrist of her mind. Money. Friends. EX's. All faded from her, all that was left was the thought of now.
"Wehlll Peridot, no," Lapis started having to steady herself as she lowered her view to the blonde. All Lapis could think is how cute she was and how she wanted to pounce on her, often finding herself closing into about a foot before realizing that. "Tomorrow we'll, we'll, talk more about the mo, the moving thing," she cut herself off to refine her words. "Right now's not the best, do you have a place to sleep tthouuugh," words out the mouth game was getting harder for Lazuli but she was at least herself enough to try and find her guest somewhere to sleep. While Jasper was passed out on the couch she loved so much and Steven was snuggling her, that's funny she thought.
"Stevens has been good to me," Peridot stammered only slightly with each word. The blonde ended up drinking the least of the group while also being the easiest to get drunk which she was approaching pretty quickly if she kept drinking. As the game and night was closing however she stopped drinking altogether to refrain from certain incidents. "Buh I guess he'll be sleeping here," Peridot brought her head up to emphasize the end of her sentence but instead being quite a bit tipsy more so made her look like a bobble head.
"Well the second room is still good," Lapis' words were slowing down the further they got as she kept tracing over the blondes body. Nothing exactly stuck out for the blonde, the baggy clothes made it hard to see anything define but at least she had a cute face with a small amount of freckles bordering her nose. "Let me show yah," her on going observation lead her to her hand and in her state it seemed easy, she brought their hands forming a slightly numbed feeling. The alcohol had been giving Lazuli some troubles as blurs were overthrowing the dictatorship which was reasoning.
On the impact of touch Peridots eyes seemed to scan the blue haired girls which was swaying heavily in front of her. The light crescent smile upon her face could almost be viewed as sad. The only light in the area was the ceiling lights in the kitchen which as they walked to the other side of the apartment the light dispersed. A subtle grey scale was now all they could see around them with just ahead a stair case on the left and a cave like room in front.
"This is your room," the slight pressure pursuing each other's hand evaporated as Lazuli drew her hand away to make a large salute to the room ahead. The door already propped open with a pitch black body of air glaring back at them. With one hand reaching in and the rest of the body following the hand, Lapis ended up hugging the edge of the door as she searched for the light switch. The fake light filled the room as now portrayed ahead was an empty room with just a bed consuming the corner of the right side. "Night," shoving off the wall she made her way to the stairs with the blonde watching her exit.
"Night," Peridot said as she approached her room and closed the door. With a loud click she had reintroduced herself to the pitch black beast, without a care though. She had a good day and had fun with everyone while being a bit tired from the amount of communication but still.
The upstairs part didn't have any walls it was just a flat ground area that so happen to have a bed on it and the rest of her things. Few art supplies lay along the corners of the room while a canvas adores just past the bed on the right and the rest of the room full of tables and drawers on the outskirts a guitar, but mostly empty. Face first she fell onto her bed and much like the time she spent on that fall she spent awake. Almost instantly she began to face her dreams pitch black.
