"So, why are we here?"

"Well, I thought we would follow the English tradition before a wedding and throw you a stag party." Conrad explained.

"But I'm underage."

"You're nearly seventeen and the legal age in Shin Makoku is fifteen, remember?"

"Mom and Dad will kill me if they ever find out…"

Of course, Yuuri had caved in to Greta's pleading. Talk about a daughter complex. Over the past two months, Yuuri had been dragged around cake stores by Cheri-sama, groped to within-an-inch-of-his-life for suit measurements by Gunter, asked for his opinion on flower arrangements a million times by Gwendel, listened to the in-depth plan of the upcoming day with Conrad and forced to write his vows by Murata. Even Shori had written a best man's speech. The only thing that remained unchanged was waking up to find Wolfram under his bad covers in his pink nightie.

Conrad opened the pub door for Yuuri and he stepped inside, already disguised as a normal citizen. The maoh had flat out refused to go to a strip club (if they existed in Shin Makoku) or any kind of brothel. Even Conrad had to accept such a forceful demand, though, he wouldn't have took Yuuri to such places anyway. Added to the risk of facing Wolfram's wrath, if he was ever found out.

Murata, Shori, Gunter and Gwendel all entered after Yuuri. The pub was predictably busy at this time of evening, but looked cosy and not too rough. They all took seats around a large empty table and ordered a drink, when the waitress came over.

"What shall we do?" Yuuri asked, he didn't know much about this particular tradition.

"I thought we could play some drinking games." Conrad said with a smile.

~3 hours later~

Yuuri was resting his face on the cool table and suddenly found his whole situation amusing. Being Maoh and getting married to an 83 year old dude. Conrad, as expected, held his drink well, as a professional host would. Shori, having given up telling Yuuri not to drink, was falling asleep on his hand, while his elbow started to slip off the table. Gwendel also seemed used to alcohol, but was pink cheeked and less sulky-looking than usual. Gunter was wailing and bawling all over Gwendel. Then there was Murata, who could have passed for the most sober person in Shin Makoku, as he pushed his glasses further up the bridge of his nose in his usual calculative manner. Yozak had even joined them, 2 hours late, and was sat on the outside of the group, looking deceivingly asleep, but Yuuri knew he was on guard.

"How many gamessss are there left to gooo?" Yuuri slurred and finished his question off with a hiccup.

Conrad held back a chuckle. "Only one. The most important one. Truth or dare."

Having heard stories about this game, Yuuri was about to protest, until Murata chimed in with a "I'll go first."

All the group, except Shori and Yozak, turned to look at Murata. "I choose truth."

Something that Yuuri had been curious about for a while suddenly came to mind. "Were the Great Sage and Shinou dating?"

Murata smirked and his glasses glinted in the light when he said, "Maybe".

Protests burst out around the table at the lack of a proper answer, but soon moved onto Gwendel, who also chose truth. Yuuri asked the question again this time, asking "Anishina-san said youuuu make things as a hobbyyyyy, what… do youuuu make?"

Gwendel stiffened, but being a man who thought it unacceptable to lie to the maoh, turned is head away and mumbled, "Stuffed animals". Conrad and Gunter were unsurprised, Murata amused, Yuuri surprised and even Yozak's face twitched. Shori woke up with a start, when Yuuri heaved with laughter, which the alcohol refused to let him restrain.

Conrad, quickly moving on to end his brother's embarressment, said "It's my turn now and I choose dare."

Murata had an idea. "We know you're a ladies man, but can you persuade HIM to by you a drink?" He pointed to a big burly man at the counter, by himself. Yuuri was in hysterics again and even Gwendel sniggered, but Conrad looked confident. He stood up and marched to the bar, to sit on the stool next to the man. Yuuri heard Yozak say to himself, "Too easy." Watching Conrad engage in conversation, smile on 'full-beam', Yuuri saw the hench man struggle with himself. Then, the bar maid was called over, and the next second, Conrad was walking back with a pint of larger in his hand. Yuuri was amazed and asked how he did it. All he got in reply was, "It's a secret".

Next was Gunter's turn, who had stopped being a sad drunk and replied with surprising seriousness, "Dare". Conrad put his finger and thumb to his chin in thought.

"Kiss Gwendel."

Gunter's eyes went wide, but then he smiled and, before Gwendel could protest, smacked their lips together and then passed out on his lap. Shocked expressions covered everyone's faces, but none more that Gwendel's.

Murata jumped in, "Your turn now, Yuuri".

"I'm not kissssing Gwendel."

"Pick truth then."

"Okayyy. Fineeee. Truth."

"What think about Wolfram?"

Yuuri stopped and thought for a second. "…Welllll, he's aggressive, always threatening me and always calls me 'wimp'. …Buuuuuuut he's a good fighter and clever, even if he'sss reallyyy arrogant….helped bearbees… If he were a girlll…I mean he's reallyyyy pretty… hair and eyessss…and the nighiesss…suit him…and I can't imagine beeeeing maoh without…."

As Yuuri passed out on the table, Conrad announced the end of the stag night, while Murata pushed a button on his phone to end the recording. "Wedding present complete."


:D awww lol. I kept having inspiration for this chapter when I was in bed. So about 5 times I turned the light off, got into bed, thought of something, turned the light back on and wrote it down. Anyway, I bet you can guess what the next chapter will be...

btw accidental gunter/gwendal and shinou/sage fandom. :D It was hard to think of dares/truths.
