Okay, before we start playing can we play in Shikamaru and Neji's room so me and Shikamaru can conveniently smoke?" Asuma asked.
"Of course we can. Come one let's move all the beer and stuff down there." Iruka said. Asuma and Iruka grabbed all the beer and moved down the hall. Asuma knocked on Neji and Shikamaru's door.
"Dude, you're bringing all the beer in here?" Shikamaru asked.
"Yeah, we're playing in here for the smokers' convenience." Asuma explained.
"Brilliant idea!" Shiakamaru said.
"Okay, you all set up the card table and I'm going to go tell Kakashi and Gai that we've changed locations." Iruka said leaving the room.
"Hey, is it a problem if I drink this wine tonight?" Kakashi asked Iruka as he walked into Asuma's room.
"Kakashi, I could care less now come on get Gai we're playing in Neji and Shikamaru's room." After 20 more minutes of rearranging and setting up this poker game was ready to begin.
"Alright, Gai you deal first." Neji said shoving the cards towards Gai." Gai did as he was instructed and the card game had begun.
"Does anyone want some wine or am I the only one drinking it?" Kakashi asked.
"I think you're on your own. We've all got beer." Shikamaru said.
"Well, if anyone changes their mind let me know."
"Can you drink that whole bottle?" Asuma asked.
"I could, but god only knows I am NEVER doing that again." Kakashi said. It was only a matter of time before a few hands had been played and a few beers had been downed.
"Okay, so before I'm too drunk I'm really glad me and Shikamaru are really glad we came on this trip. We're just really disappointed that Temari and Tenten couldn't come with us." Neji said.
"Yeah, it's been fun having you on the trip this year." Asuma said.
"God that was a fast hand. Gai, you won that easily." Iruka said.
"That's only the first hand, Iruka. The night is young! I may end up a winner tonight!" Gai proclaimed. Once Gai got going it was best to just let him carry out his rant. One hand lead to hands, which lead to three hands but by hand 6 Gai was losing and by hand 8 most everyone was one their third beer. Of course, Kakashi was on his third glass of wine. This would be the perfect time to talk about sex, right? Of course!
"Hey, Shikamaru, when was the first time you slept with Temari?" Asuma asked him.
"Let's see…we had been dating for three month before we could catch a break from her brothers being home all the time. God, that was troublesome. But now she doesn't deal with them anymore since she moved out." Shikamaru explained. "Shit, we were both scared to death the first time but it was so amazing because my god! It was her and she was so perfect and….god I can't even explain how amazing that night was." Shikamaru said obviously reminiscing on that night with fondness in his heart.
"Wow, that is really nice. God, my story isn't nearly that sweet." Asuma said showing his winning hand.
"Why? You're stories always have rainbows and lollipops in them, Asuma." Iruka said making fun of all Asuma's happy endings.
"No, my first time was horrible because I was so nervous and I mean not normal nervous but we're talking about how nervous you would be if you told Hokage Tsunade she owed you money nervous."
"Wow…that's nervous." Gai said.
"Yeah, in fact….I was so nervous that…well things didn't happen if you know what I mean. God, if I were that girl I wouldn't have called me back either." Asuma said.
"I don't think I've ever heard about that." Kakashi said.
"Yes you have. Remember? It was that girl that at the time was captain of the now nonexistent team 12? Then she left the country like a year after that and the team dissipated?" Asuma tried to joggle Kakashi's memory.
"Oooooh yes! Okay, yes I do remember that. Oh god, that was a fiasco." Kakashi said winning the next hand.
"Gai, are you still a virgin the way you were two years ago?" Iruka asked teasingly to him already knowing the answer was yes. Gai had learned by now to take the taunting.
"Iruka! You clearly know this answer! But this is my year! The spring time of our youth will…"
"Okay Gai, relax…just relax…breathe….you don't' always have to incorporate the spring time of youth into every speech you give." Iruka told him.
"Wait…he's saying he's a virgin isn't he?" Neji asked.
"Oh shit, we forgot to tell them." Iruka said. Shikamaru was mortified at this moment but Neji was actually a bit relieved.
"Well, he's not the only one." Neji said losing the hand before him.
"What the hell Neji? You told me before we went on this trip that you were going to seal the deal!" Shikamaru said shoving another beer before him.
"Okay, you seriously have some explaining to do and I'm not going anywhere so start talking." Kakashi said quickly counting his winnings thus far.
"For real, start talking Neji because now I'm as curious as hell." Asuma said.
"I know, I know and Shikamaru I know I told you that but it didn't really work out. Alright, so yeah me and Tenten have been together for a while now but I'll be honest I'm scared I'm going to hurt her. She is very persistent and frankly I don't blame her and even furthermore she's probably starting to think I'm either gay or hiding something from her. But, I need for this to be so special and I can't get the thought of her gritting her teeth in pain underneath me. So, therefore I keep putting it off." Iruka and Kakashi were staring at Neji dumbfounded.
"How do you sidestep the issue with her exactly?" Asuma asked. "I mean don't get me wrong I admire your way of thinking here. My god are you sincere or what but Kurenai would have fucking raped me by now if I were in your shoes."
"To be honest, when we first got together it rarely came up but now that we've been together for a while it's starting to come up a little more often. I will say she's amazing with her mouth though." Neji said the last part with confidence. "I am just scared of hurting her too much."
"You're not going to hurt her!" Iruka said loudly.
"Iruka! What the hell? Fuck yeah he's going to hurt her! Neji, you're a noble man for planning ahead. Iruka is just a dumbass with no soul!" Kakashi said louder.
"I was trying to make him feel better!" Iruka argued.
"Oh, I get it so lie to him!" Kakashi said taking another sip of wine. "Look, Neji you come talk to me later. I will give you three tips that will help you out in this situation." Kakashi winked at him.
"Are you serious?" Neji asked.
"Unlike Iruka Neji, I'm not going to lie to you. Yes I'm serious."
"Wait, you said Tenten is amazing with her mouth but what about you?" Shiakamru said showing his winning hand.
"Man, I've got my phone right here. I fucking dare you to call her and ask her." Neji said shoving his phone toward Shikamaru.
"Oh my god! He's serious!" Gai said shocked by this unfolding situation.
"Neji, you know I'll do it. Hell, I'll put her on speaker phone." Shikamaru said taking the phone from Neji. Sure enough he dialed Tenten's number, and laid the phone in the middle of the poker table.
