Chapter 10 – 'I Never……'
Recap
"How about a game?" Kimblee smirked.
"Sounds good." Envy smirked, sitting in an empty space on the table.
--
"So what is this game we're playing?" Edward sighed putting his chin in his hand. Nothing good is going to come out of this, Edward thought and looked around the table, it was reassuring to know he had at least talked to all these people at least once though the night.
Edward almost immediately got on well with Hughes, Havoc and Riza, he felt like he could trust them completely. Roy and Envy seemed to be the trouble makers, even if they seemed to be leaders in this place.
There were three women seated next to each other. The one closest to Edward was Winry, she seemed the same age as Edward and a machine-freak, she practically jumped Edward examining his auto-mail with stars in her eyes. Next to Winry was Dante, Edward had to admit she was pretty short black hair with dark eyes to match not to mention a slim figure but the moment he laid eyes on her he got a bad feeling. The look in her eyes were cold and uncaring as if she couldn't a damn if these people before her died right in front of her eyes. And last was Izumi, everything about her felt very familiar to Edward but nothing in his lost memory reacted.
"Like I said Edo." Hughes placed a reassuring hand on his shoulder bringing him out of his thoughts. "We all know each other, even if you don't remember us now you once did and we……" Hughes indicated the rest of the table "have no doubt that you will come to remember us all!"
"The game we are playing is called 'I Never'." Winry smiled and placed half a dozen bottles of different kinds of alcohol in the middle of the table.
Edward cocked an eyebrow up, a questioning look on his face.
"Someone makes a true statement starting with 'I Never' and if any of the rest of us has done what they said you take a swig of your drink. You have to be honest, but we'll know even if you don't Ed." Russell stated, smirking in Edward's direction.
Every damn person in this place loves giving me that smirk, it's like their all in on this huge fucking joke. Edward practically yelled in his mind
Riza placed glasses in front of everyone.
"Let's get this party started again." Roy and Envy yelled in excitement. Both turning in their seats, Envy that was next to Edward and Roy that was on the opposite side of the table, stared at Edward. The other nine people followed Roy and Envy's actions.
"Ok ok I'll start then." Edward signed and thought for a few seconds "I've never..... beaten anyone up."
Every single person at the table reached for the empty glasses in front of them, Scar grabbed a bottle and filled everyone's glass. Edward's mouth fell open as he watched everyone pick up their glasses and take a sip.
Envy nudged his side, indicating with his eyes to his drink.
"EH!?!" Edward slammed his hands on the table and stood up, his chair falling backwards from his sudden movement. Envy smirked and nodded pushing his drink closer.
Edward picked up his chair and sat down again, taking a drink he gulped down half the drink in one go. Fucking hell I'm gonna get wasted he thought.
(An hour and a half later)
"I've never tongue kissed a guy." Roy smirked tracing his finger round the rim of his glass, staring directly at Edward.
Envy poured himself another glass and took a swig.
"You have got to be fucking kidding me." Edward slurred on his words his finger pointed at Roy, the 'I never' statements were getting worse. Scar whistled, Edward frowned at him but snatched up his drink and skulled down his sixth drink.
Envy wrapped an arm around Edward's shoulders as Riza took her turn, out of everyone there she was still as composed as when he had meet her. It seemed she could take hold alcohol better than anyone.
"I have never danced." Riza said, Edward was surprised no one took a sip. He was learning more about everyone but still, even being drunk, his memory wasn't letting any of his lost memories out.
Kimblee sat just across from Edward, he stole a quick glance at Dante a question in his look. She gave a quick subtle nod in answer. Everyone was a bit too drunk to notice this exchange.
Kimblee reached forward and grabbed Edward's glass, for a brief second he hid the glass under the table. He opened a small silver bag and poured the contents into the glass, then he put the glass back on the table and quickly poured more alcohol in it.
"Thanks Kimblee!" Edward smiled, he noticed Kimblee slide his glass across the table.
Kimblee smiled back a wicked smile "Anytime Edo."
"Ne.........Roy!!" Edward made his voice go a bit higher and cuter.
Roy smirked facing Edward.
"Would you care to explain my kiss with a guy?" Edward looked at Roy with puppy eyes.
Envy tried to contain himself, his o'chibi was being too cute.
"Well he's no stranger and we all know you love him." he leapt out of his chair and on the table, he sat right in front of Edward. Everyone cheered in response to Roy's answer.
"And who would this non-stranger be?" Edward leaned forward and hiccupped.
Roy leaned forward as well "I'll let you figure that out."
Edward pouted "Asshole."
Roy laughed, he may know Envy and Edward like the back of his hand but never has he once seen Edward drunk.
Edward sat back and took another sip of his now re-filled glass.
"I've never ran out of my home screaming practically naked." Havoc stated a cigarette hanging out of the corner of his mouth.
Edward felt a nudge and a light kick. Envy and Roy smirked at each other.
"What the fuck is with you people and that bloody smirk?" Edward picked up his glass, this one he was the only one that took a sip.
"It's a first Edo...." Roy started.
"That we know more than you and...." Envy continued.
"To see you drunk." Roy finished.
"Yea well...." Edward started then clutched his head.
The smug looks on Envy and Roy's faces dropped. Envy squeezed Edward's shoulder "Chibi you ok?"
To Edward, Envy's voice seemed futher away but extremely loud at the same time. He blinked and rubbed his eyes. He looked around the room, the alcohol crashed against the glasses loudly in Edward's ear, like waves crashing against rocks.
He covered his ear but to his horror he saw parts of the cave falling. "Everyone get out." Edward screamed, standing up his real leg felt weak but he ignored it "The cave's collapsing!!" He tried with all his strength to pull whoever was closest to him out.
"Edo." Winry watched Edward pulling at her sleeve, "The cave isn't collapsing."
Edward blinked again and looked up, a big rock was right above him gathering speed. Edward's eyes widened then rolled back into his head, he collapsed on the ground.
