A/N I had a reader ask what moonshine was? Moonshine is homemade distilled alcohol. It can be made legally with a permit, but generally its illegal to just make in your home. It's usually a corn base and is made with active yeast. It has to also ferment before it's ready to distill. It's distilled through a metal still. It heats up and cools down simutaniously, going from a gas form to a liquid form. It was popular to distill in America in the 1920s when the prohibition (the barring of selling or producing alcohol) was in play. Thus creating black market alcohol. It's really strong stuff too. Some people make mock moonshine with Everclear, a 190 proof(95% alcohol) grain alcohol. Others use sugar as a base, thus calling it sugar shine. There's even a show called Moonshiners, which is about people making moonshine in the woods. It's crazy stuff, but I just read a lot up on it. I hope that clears up any confusion you may have had with it reader! Also this is a really long A/N so happy reading!


That weekend, Lili and Emil had traveled out, nearly an hour away to a brewing supply store in hopes of searching for a still. They reign successful on their trip, and headed back to campus with an eight gallon copper pot still in the foot locker Vash had given Lili for storage.

When Emil had parked in front of McCall hall, he looked over at Lili. "This is by far the stupidest thing you've ever done, and we've only been dating for two weeks."

Lili leaned over in her seat and gave him a sweet kiss. "I know you're upset, but I'll make it up to you okay? We'll go to the aquarium like we planned, and I'll take you out to wherever you want to eat too, my treat. I'll even spend the weekend over at your dorm, just please don't be too mad at me. Besides, you said you'd support me in whatever I did and my decision. But most importantly I want your fake id back in my wallet because it's mine, but thank you for using it so I could buy the still."

"Oh you mean the still in the back of my trunk in your foot locker?"

"Yes that exact same one." She said with a smile and hopped out of the car.

Emil popped the trunk and hopped out as well. He lifted the trunk and pulled out the lavender foot locker that held the still. "Man am I glad this thing has wheels." He said as he dragged it along into McCall hall. Lili helped him bring it up to the stairs and to their room. She unlocked her door and pushed it open. "Sophie?"

"In here." Sophia called from the bathroom. The door had been ajar.

Lili pushed the door open, where she saw Sophia in the middle of the floor stirring a large pot of cloudy liquid in a huge pot on top of a burner, with two large jugs sitting in the corner of the bathroom.

"Where did you get all of this stuff?" Lili asked surprised at the scene going on in their shared bathroom.

"Charlie brought it. He just left like 20 minutes ago."

"So he just casually brought you a pot, a burner and water jugs?" Emil asked.

"And an airlock. He's so sweet. He told me he wasn't going to bring this stuff at first. He kind of just surprised me when he showed up. I'm actually almost done making this wash. It'll be ready to ferment soon." She said.

"And your brother is just okay with letting you use his things to make this?"

"Pretty much. I mean, he was selling it illegally for years before he got an actual permit. He couldn't possibly see this as morally wrong when he's done the same thing. He just said don't get caught." Sophia said with a shrug.

"That sounds like something Mathias would say." Emil said rolling his eyes.

"How long is this going to take Sophia?" Lili asked curiously.

She shrugged. "Well I figured we ferment this throughout the week, and distill on the weekends, that way it'll be ready to sell by the evening. It'll probably make about five to six gallons of alcohol in total, and that would be…"

"150 dollars if we sell all the gallons in the weekend." Lili finished.

"Great. So about 150 a week, and in one month that would be…"

"$600 in a month."

"And double that would be 1,200. We can pay off the rest with our own money."

Lili nodded. "That sounds like a plan. Do you need any help?"

"No, I got it. It's really complicated, and a lot of numbers involved I don't want you to get them confused."

"Well, okay. I'm going to be with Emil for the rest of the day, and spend the night over there. So if you need me just call me." She said and started her way out the bathroom to grab her things.

"You're not going to volleyball practice? I thought you said it started today."

Lili paused and looked back at Sophia and then slowly turned around to Emil, who was already looking at her with a frown on his face. She walked over to him and grabbed his hands. "I forgot that we start practice for the annual volleyball game."

"I noticed you did." Emil said sharply.

"..But that doesn't mean I still can't come over tonight." She spoke moving his hands around excitedly. "Please don't be mad at me." She said as she continued to move his hands around.

Meanwhile Emil, with an unimpressed look on his face, looked away from her. "I'm not mad, go to practice. I'll wait for you."

She dropped his hands, pouting. "You won't even look at me."

Emil sighed before looking back at her. "I'm not mad, okay? I swear. A little agitated yes, but I'm not mad. I'll just see you tonight."

She smiled some. "Okay, but I want to see you smile before I go."

"You're kind of pushing it."

"No I'm not. I want to see you smile. No smile means no kiss."

Emil shook his head with a small laugh. "You are impossible."

Lili smiled at him and leaned in to give him a warm kiss. "Thank you. I'll see you tonight." She said and kissed him again. "That one was for being such a sweet and supportive boyfriend." With that, Lili gathered a few things in a bag before quickly leaving. "Bye Sophie! Bye Emil!" She called out as she walked out the door.

"Hey Emil, can you help me with this? It's kind of heavy." Sophia said standing up to grab the water jug.

"Sure." Emil said and grabbed the large pot of now clear liquid to take it off the burner.

Sophia brought over the jug and a funnel. She put the funnel in place. "Alright, now just slowly tip this in, try not to get it everywhere."

Emil lifted up the pot, and slowly started to pour the liquid down the funnel.

"You know she's trying right?" Sophia asked.

Emil shrugged. "Yeah. I can tell. I just...We had such a good weekend last weekend, and I just wanted to do it all over again. We didn't even do anything, we just talked. We talked like we were best friends. Like we've known each other for years..."

"I know, she never shuts up about you." Sophia said with a laugh. "And you know, that she'd rather be dedicating her time to you than to all of this. She's only doing it for me, and I know she is. Who wouldn't want to save $700?"

Once the pot was empty, Emil put it down to the side. "She's so selfless. It's what I love most about her." Emil said smiling, thinking about Lili. "I don't know. I guess I'm just starting to realize that I'm not going to see her as much as I want, and it sucks realizing that. Like it's a really shitty feeling."

Sophia shrugged. "You two just started dating, you'll find a medium that'll best fit the both of you. A kind of something that will work like clockwork. You'll have your finger over the call button to call her, and a call will come in from her right before you press the button. That kind of stuff happens in solid relationships. But, it takes a lot of time, and a lot of patience, and a hell of a lot of work to do that with someone."

Emil sighed. "You're right. I've got to work with her as much as she works with me."

"Exactly." She said before looking at her phone seeing that she had missed a text. "And I'd love to stay and chat, but I've got some business to take care of." Sophia popped on the airlock, and shuffled the water jug under the counter in the bathroom.

He recoiled hearing that. "You've got business to take care of? What, do you have friends outside of Lili and I?"

"Mmmm, you can say that." She said shrugging. "Now come on, I don't have time for talking anymore. You've got to go." Sophia said as she started pushing him out the bathroom.

"'You can say that?' Oh now I've got to know what's going on now." Emil said stopping right in his tracks.

"Emil, I don't have time for games. Go so I can lock up the room." She said pushing him harder, but he wasn't budging.

"Not before you tell me. Is this person kind of a friend?" He asked.

"Yes he's kind of a friend, and don't ask me anything else because I'm not answering it."

Emil smirked. "Don't worry, you answered everything. Go ahead, I don't want to make you late for your sex appointment."

Sophia grimaced and hit Emil's arm. "I really hate you sometimes."

"Need I remind you that I've only been in like 3 serious relationships including Lili and the rest were just one night stands? Yeah, I know what you're doing. You're not sneaky."

"Alright you found me out...But can I just tell you how good it was the first time? Because oh my God—"

"Nope, I'm not sticking around to hear this. Goodbye." Emil said before leaving out the room.


Lili stretched against the bleachers in the gym as she waited for practice to start. She looked at her phone, seeing if she missed any missed calls or texts. She checked Sophia's location, and from the looks of it, she was in a different hall. "What is she doing in Roody hall?" She asked herself. Last time she checked, it was a hall for upperclassmen. She shrugged it off and then checked Emil's location. He was at the store. Maybe he was out getting more food for his dorm or something.

Lili jumped when she heard the sound of a whistle blow. "Fall in line ladies!" Camille yelled.

Quickly, Lili put her phone away and went to go line up with the rest of the girls.

"Glad you all could make it to our first practice. This practice will set off how we're going to do at the game, and I'm just letting you girls know right now, that I never lose a game. Kappa Mu, doesn't lose this game. This is our game. So I'm going to push, and push, and push until I see what I like. We practice every Tuesday and Friday from 8 p.m to 10 p.m. Don't be late, don't skip without telling me first, and definitely don't slack. Violate any of those and you and the rest of the team will suffer. Questions?"

No one spoke. Lili had personally felt a little excited for practice. She felt like it was she was doing intramurals again. Back then, she always left practice feeling accomplished, and loved getting close with the team. She looked forward to practices.

"No questions? Alright." Camille said and stood on the line with the girls. "50 suicides." She said and blew the whistle.

Lili started her exercise with the rest of the girls. She could do this, practice would be a breeze.


Sophia's back arched when she came, the orgasm intensifying when she felt Sebastian finish after her. She slowly started to relax as she just let the feeling wash through her body.

Sebastian pulled out of her, and tossed the soil condom in the trashcan. "Are you okay?"

Sophia sat up. "Yes. I'm fine, why do you ask that? I'm not a fragile doll." She said pulling the covers over her.

"I ask everyone I have sex with that. Just a habit." He spoke climbing under the covers with her.

"Oh. Well, I guess I'll have to get used to it. But, just so you know, you don't have to do that with me." She said and pulled the covers off of her to look for her clothes.

"You're leaving already?"

"Yes, what do I need to stay over for?" She asked slipping on her panties.

He shrugged. "You don't want to talk? Grab something to eat? Go another round?"

Sophia pulled her shirt over her head. "No. Maybe. And tomorrow. Is that good enough talking for you?" She asked looking back at him.

"Okay, well you said maybe for getting something to eat. What are you in the mood for?"

She grabbed her pants. "A meal by myself." She replied.

"Why don't you want to grab something to eat with me? I'll pay for you if you want—"

"Sebastian, it's not about food. Don't offer me things, I'm only here for sex. I told you I'm not looking for a relationship any time soon. You offering to pay for a meal won't make me closer to you, and I don't want to be closer to you."

Sebastian winced. "Such harsh words." He said putting a hand on his chest.

"I'm sorry but, when I have sex with someone, I don't want a relationship out of it. Believe me if I wanted a relationship with you, I wouldn't have started having sex with you two days after meeting you."

"You ever think that maybe someone could be—"

"Different? Yeah no, don't try to think that either." She said and sat down on the bed, a hand on top of his. "Look, you're extremely handsome, and sweet. I'm just not into being in a relationship, and I won't be for a while. Just please try to understand that. If you can't we don't have to do this anymore. Just, try not to get close to me, and I won't get close to you. Deal?"

Sebastian looked over at her before sitting back on his headboard. "Deal."

"Thank you." She said and kissed his cheek. "I'm going now. I'll be over tomorrow." Sophia stood and headed towards the door.

"Alright, be safe." He called after her before she left out the door. Sebastian sighed as he leaned over and grabbed his boxers. "I guess I'll just go get something to eat myself." He said.


She could not do it.

Practice was not a breeze.

Her legs were dead, her arms were noodles, and she was absolutely pouring sweat. It had been a while since she felt like this, then again, it had been a while since she had practiced too. Over a year, what a wake up call that was. All she wanted to do now is shower, cry about how sore she was to Emil and then cuddle with him until she fell asleep. She texted him that she was on the way, to which he instantly replied back that he couldn't wait to see her. There her heart went again, soaring.

When she made it to Chester hall, she saw Emil waiting in the lobby for her. He pushed the door open for her. "You look terrible." He told her.

Lili rolled her eyes. "Thanks." She said and swatted at him. "I was hoping for a 'let me carry you upstairs because you look tired.'"

"Oh right, sorry. Let me carry you upstairs because you look tired." He said and swept her up, which made her yelp.

"Emil! I was kidding!" She said holding onto him tightly.

"Well you sounded serious, and also you smell as bad as you look."

"I know, just take me upstairs so I can shower." She muttered.

"I think I can do one better."

.

Emil brought her upstairs to his room and took her into the bathroom where there was a freshly drawn bath with a lot of bubbles, and scented candles.

Lili gasped when she saw the bathroom. "Oh my goodness Emi you did this for me?"

He shrugged. "I just figured with how late it is, you'd want—"

Lili cut him off with a kiss. "Thank you, thank you so much this is so sweet of you." She said to him and hugged him close. "I'm going to undress and get in. Will you keep me company?"

Emil had forgot what he was even saying. "Yeah of course. I'll keep you company while you take your bath." He said and let her down, she went into the bathroom and closed the door. "I'll tell you when to come in." She called from the other side of the door.

A smile had found its way on Emil's face. It was worth it. Going to the store and buying girly soap with bath salts and candles were totally worth it. Seeing how excited she was was always worth it. Emil waited against the door a few moments until Lili said it was alright to come in. He walked in, laughing when he saw how sunken down she was in the water. She was so cute. Emil closed the toilet seat, and sat down on the toilet so he could be close to her. "How does it feel?"

"It feels amazing, I never want to get out." She muttered resting her head against the tub. She glanced over at him. "I'm sorry I forgot about practice. Even though you weren't upset, I know you were agitated and I swear I'll make it up to you—"

"It's okay. You don't need to apologize or make it up to me. I'm sorry for getting so upset about it."

Lili narrowed her eyes. "Something's different about you. You're not the same Emi I talked to earlier."

"I'm a changed man Lil...Well no, but I think I'm pretty close. I talked to Sophie, and she just told me that you're trying really hard, and that effort isn't a one way thing. It takes a lot to get in sync with someone, and we're still working on it."

She leaned against the tub towards him, looking up at him and smiling. "You're right. I completely agree. With more time we'll get there. I know we will."

"Lil and Emi can do anything." He told her smirking some.

Lili grinned. "And don't you forget it."
