I know I'm late... I was caught up with some stuff... either way, here it is...
A game of Candor or Dauntless, What could possibly go wrong?
It had been an hour since everybody had arrived at Zeke's place, well everyone except Four and Lauran. By this point they were all well and truly on their way to being tipsy when Marlene yelled out, "I'm drunk enough! Let's get this game started!"
"Since I'm the host I get to spin first!" Zeke shouted as he encouraged everyone to sit in a circle.
Once seated he stood, empty beer bottle in hand, "Okay rules are simple for those of you that have never played. Someone spins the bottle," He held up said bottle, "If it lands on you the spinner will ask you Candor or Dauntless. You get to pick which one you choose. At that point the spinner will either make you do something or ask you a question. If you don't answer or do the thing you MUST shed an item of clothing. Shoes and socks are counted as one item. That is all. Let's play." He grinned devilishly as he placed the bottle in the middle of the circle, giving it a good spin.
The bottle slowly came to an anticipated stop in front of Uriah. Fist pumping the air he didn't even give Zeke time to ask. "Dauntless!"
"Right," Zeke coughed, "Should have guessed. Strip down to your tighty-whities and go for a run through the residential district." He smirked. "While singing."
Uriah grinned, "Easy." As he stripped down to almost nothing. Slamming the door open he made a mad dash through the area singing at the top of his lungs.
Once back Zeke made him put his clothes back on before he was allowed to spin the bottle. Finally dressed Uriah stood and spun the bottle, his boyish grin plastering on his face turning into an evil smirk when it landed on Tris.
"What'll it be Six." He chastised her with her new nickname.
Tris sat on the idea for a bit before jumping straight in, "Dauntless."
Uriah licked his lips and rubbed his hands together. "Let's start easy, I want you to sneak into the kitchen and get me a slice of Dauntless cake."
"Oh come on Uri, You can't expect the girl to get you cake?!" Marlene chimed in.
"It's fine." Tris replied as she stood to leave, Christina smirked knowingly.
"This I gotta see." Lynn smirked as she stood.
Lynn and Uriah followed Tris towards the mess hall and waited around the corner while Tris walked towards the kitchen. Several minutes later she walked back to their surprise with a whole Dauntless cake.
"How the hell did you swipe that without the cooks getting mad!?" Uriah stared at her gobsmacked.
"Secret." She said, smiling innocently at him.
"I don't care how she got it, as long as I get a piece." Lynn remarked as she took the cake from Tris, carrying it back for them.
After everyone got over the shock of Tris somehow getting a whole cake they all dug in, polishing off the whole thing in ten minutes, bar two pieces left for the two absent members.
"Tris your turn to spin." Zeke cried out as he threw her the bottle.
Tris stood and spun the bottle, it coming to a stop on Will.
"Will, Candor or Dauntless ?" She asked.
"Mmmmm….. If you can do Dauntless so can I?" Will smiled at her. "Do your worst!"
Tris thought on it for a bit, then turned to him with an evil smirk that could rival Uriah's. "I want you to go to the pit and ask anyone that says hi to you if they will kiss you and you can't leave till you receive a kiss."
Will stared at her in horror before turning to Christina while pailing and shaking his head. "Nah, I'm good." He stuttered out as he began taking off his shoes and socks.
"Pussy cake!" Uriah shouted, while everyone else rolled their eyes.
Tris threw Will the bottle and the game went on. An hour, some drinks, and several lossed clothing items later there was a knock at the door. Zeke disappeared and returned with Four and Lauran in tow. "Look who decided to finally turn up." He smirked, taking his seat next to Shauna again.
Four took the suddenly, conveniently vacant spot next to Tris on the floor while Lauran stole one of the free table chairs.
Christina stood up and spun the bottle, its spinning slowing till it stopped on Tris. "Six?"
Tris rolled her eyes, "Candor. I don't want to know what you would've made me do if I said Dauntless."
"Six?" Four whispered, an eyebrow raised questionably at her.
"Marlene's idea. Don't ask." Tris sighed.
Christina giggled as she turned to Marlene and they whispered amongst themselves. With a nod Chris turned back to Tris, "Do you know Four's real name?"
Tris gulped before nodding.
"Oh My Gosh! What is it?" Marlene practically screamed.
"My turn." Tris smirked.
"What?" She simmered back.
"Wasn't your turn and you only get one question." Tris recites, realizing that she'll have to do Dauntless for the rest of the night to avoid the inevitable question then again they could just dare her to tell them.
Sighing, Tris stood and spun the bottle, it coming to a stop on Lynn.
"Candor." Lynn said without needing prompting.
Tris sat on it for a bit, drawing blank as to what to ask her till Four lent over and whispered. "Just ask her something basic, like what her favourite colour is or if she has a crush or something."
Tris nodded then turned to Lynn, "Do you have a crush on anyone?"
Lynn instantly flushed, Tris only just catching the micro expression she cast to her left towards Marlene before controlling her face enough to glare through her blush. She grunted an inaudible reply before taking an item off - her jacket.
Lynn grabbed the bottle and gave it a half assed spin, it stopped very quickly on Four.
"Dauntless." Four answered straight away.
Lynn crossed her arms as she glared at him, "I Dauntless you to go find Eric and challenge him to an arm-wrestle. If you lose, you tell us your name."
Four stood up and walked wordlessly to the door. Lynn and Will followed as witnesses. While they left the others continued to drink and talk amongst themselves. It was twenty minutes later when they returned a huge grin on Will's face and an excited smirk on Lynn's.
"I'm guessing he lost?" Lauran laughed.
"It was an interesting match to say the least, but he lost." Will answered.
"Well?" Lynn prompted him as he sat back next to Tris, taking a long drink from his now warm beer.
The anticipation in the room became so thick it was palpable, everyone was holding their breaths.
Four looked up at Lynn's expectant face, a bored expression on his as he answered, "Four."
Everyone in the room practically spat out their breath. "FOUR!" They all yelled.
Tris fell to her side laughing, "Lynn he's got you there. You were never specific as to which name he had to tell you." She laughed again.
Lynn sat down crossing her arms as she growled.
Everyone else in the room huffed at the technicality while Lynn practically pegged the bottle at Four. Even with his slightly drunk state he still caught the bottle spinning it in one fluid motion to the ground.
The game continued throughout the night till most of them ended up passing out where they sat either from alcohol consumption or exhaustion. In Tris' case it was the latter of the two, she was smart enough to stop drinking when she hit the tipsy buzzing stage that made her feel light and fuzzy.
Tris woke up a couple of hours later, her body clock waking her up just after she normally went for her morning run. Sighing she stood, stretching out her stiff limbs from sleeping awkwardly, knowing she wouldn't be able to get back to sleep. Quietly she tiptoed towards the door, shoes in hand.
With her hand on the door knob she opened it as quietly as she could, till a hand on it slammed it shut.
"And where do you think you're sneaking off to?" Four whispered directly into her ear.
A shiver ran up Tris' spine before she could answer. "Can't sleep, thought I would go for a run."
"No hangover?"
"What's that?" She questioned.
Four smirked into her ear. "Let's hope you never have to find that out."
"Wanna join me for a run?" She whispered.
"Why not."
Four followed Tris to the kitchen where she surprised him by getting them some food before the galley was even open then made their way to the Pit for a run. Somewhere along the way Eric ended up joining them.
"Tris what a nice surprise, out for your morning run?" Eric greeted her warmly then noticed Four, "Four." He grunted.
"Eric." Four grunted back.
Tris rolled her eyes, "If you two are going to start some macho shit again, then you can run by yourselves." Tris growled at the both of them with her hands on her hips. Both men went quiet and just turned away from each other like children while crossing their arms. "Good." Tris said with a smile and began to stretch.
Both boys followed her lead before they went for a long run. By the end they were all sweaty and exhausted.
"Tris…. If you need….. A shower…... You're welcome to borrow….. Mine….. It has….. Good temperature and pressure." Eric said as he tried to catch his breath.
Doing better at hiding his exhaustion Four replied. "Don't worry Tris, you can use mine."
Tris rolled her eyes at the both of them before turning and walking towards the initiates dorm room. "I'll just use the dorm shower, but thanks."
Both men just growled at each other before going their separate ways.
The spray of the shower hit Tris' tired body, relaxing her as she quickly washed up, her clothes already laid out ready to go for a quick retreat.
