Anyways enjoy!

"Okay, Matthew truth or dare?"

Matthew silently weighed his options. Whenever his group of friends decided to play a game they somehow always managed to remember him long enough to give him the first turn. Still though, most of the time it didn't work out exactly how Matthew would have wanted it to. If he chose dare they would make him do something that he didn't want to, and with truth he would just get an awkward question at the worst. He decided to go with the safer option.

"Truth?" Of course, it was meant to sound all confident and sure that Matthew knew that was what he wanted to chose, but his timid voice turned it into a question. Matthew silently cursed his soft voice, while Lovino laughed at his best friends obvious struggle.

"Don't worry bro, I'll go easy on you. Just quit a rumor about yourself. Did you really go out with that guy from Netherlands?" Alfred asked way to cheerily. Matthew glared at him, he should have taken the dare while he had the chance. He wanted what happened between him and Lars to quiet down just like it had ended, but Alfred wanted to know what happened so badly, especially since Matthew refused to tell him. You see, Matthew is convinced that rumors die on their own if you leave them alone, but that only applies if Alfred F. Jones doesn't know about them.

When it came to gossip and rumors, Alfred was the equivalent of a sixteen year old girl.

"I hate you so much Alfred, so very very much. I want you to know that," Matthew said with a sigh. Alfred just grinned even brighter, knowing that Matthew was beginning to cave in, "Me and Lars did go out. There are you happy?" Matthew snapped. The entire group looked shocked that Matthew said yes. It was obvious that they were all expecting him to say no.

"Details! Details right now!" Lovino said excitedly. Now all the shock was turned onto Lovino instead. Even Matthew was in shock, his best friend never was the gossip. Well, Feliciano looked like he was used to it though.

"We went out for a little while, and then we broke up. I didn't like him that much, and all he ever does is sit around and try to get high," Matthew said uncertainly. He had never told anyone what had happened between him and Lars. It really wasn't that bad, but he still didn't want to talk about. Lars had broken up with him after he refused to put out and get high all the time like Lars. It hurt a lot more than he showed. Lovino looked a bit disappointed that he hadn't shared that bit of information.

"See this is why I hand out with the girls, they know all the information about everyone," Lovino groaned when he realized that Matthew wasn't going to share anything else.

"I never knew you were such a gossip Lovino-san," Kiku said, writing something down in his notebook. Lovino blushed at the comment, then glared at Kiku.

"Are you taking notes on this?" he accused. Kiku quickly held his notebook behind his back, blushing his own shade of red.

"N-no! Isn't it Matthew-san's turn to ask?" Kiku quickly changed the subject, still hiding his notebook. Everyone held still for a moment, as if remembering, and then turned back to Matthew.

"Truth or dare Lovino?" he asked quickly before the others could bug him about picking someone. Lovino somehow managed to scowl even more than before.

"Che, figures you go after me. I pick a dare not some pussy truth like you," Lovino growled out. Matthew just rolled his eyes.

"I'm so hurt Lovi~" Matthew used the pet name that Lovino hated.

"Don't call me that basardo!" Lovino yelled. Matthew held up his arms in mock defense.

"Ve~ but you let me call you that fratello," Feliciano suddenly spoke up. Lovino blushed as all his friends burst out laughing around him.

"I dare you to go and see if you woke up Alfred's mom. I bet your shrill scream woke her up," Matthew mocked. Lovino huffed, but headed upstairs.

He did not find Alfred's mom awake like he expected actually. Instead she was dead asleep, lying under the covers and snoring pretty heavily for being a woman so small. He closed the door with a small click, glad that his 'shrill' voice didn't actually wake her up. That woman was like a second mother to him, and he never wanted to upset her. Lovino could be very sweet, despite what most people thought about him.

"She's asleep dumb asses, can I be left alone now?" Lovino drawled as he stepped down the stairs. Alfred let out a small whoop, somehow managing to make that sound quiet as to not wake his mother.

"Screw this game! Let's go out and explore the woods!" Alfred suggested excitedly. Ivan rolled his eyes as if he expected that, but didn't get up.

"The woods. At night. You want us to go and explore the woods, at night?" Kiku said slowly, just to make sure that he had everything down.

"Yes! Let's go, come on. I have flashlights and you guys have Ivan and me what's the worse that could happen?" Alfred asked. He seriously believed that they would just agree to this and be on their merry way. No one moved an inch, but Feliciano looked ready to do whatever they wanted.

Then Ivan stood. He seemed to be in a rather upsetting mood, but if he got up he couldn't be in that bad of a mood. When Ivan really got upset, he refused to move from whatever spot he had managed to place himself. So far, no one had ever been able to talk him out of it. He would sit there for hours like that, sometimes even days. It was scary to say the least, but no one knew how to make him feel better. Ivan stared down at them expectantly, waiting for them all to get up and get this ordeal over with. The sooner that they got back the sooner that they could rest and relax for the rest of the night.

"Let's go?" Matthew said as a question, but Lovino and Feliciano followed his suit. Kiku was already packing away his notebook and other manga so that they wouldn't be stepped on when they finally stumbled their way back out of the woods.

"Everyone got their cell phone? Yes? Good! Let's go!" Alfred said all in a rush, shoving a flashlight into everyone's hands before running out the back door himself. In fact, every one did have their cell phones, but not everyone had a flashlight that had working batteries.

Ivan sighed and got batteries for everyone who needed them, silently cursing Alfred and his forgetfulness. Yet as everyone rushed out the backdoor and out into the first thing that somewhat resembled a trail, Ivan couldn't help the feeling of deja-vu that overwhelmed him. It was like this had all happened before, and that he should know what was going to happen next. Yet the harder that Ivan tried to remember, the less he could. It was a slippery memory that got less and less clear the harder that you tried to grasp at it.

Ivan shook his head, banishing his thoughts from his mind as well as his feelings of deja-vu. He brought up the back of the pack, making sure that everyone was in the same place and didn't get lost, while he still tried to grasp the memory that refused to make itself know. Little did he know everyone else felt the same confusion that he did as well.

Reviews are my air. Don't let me suffocate!
