The evening sun was making its way below the horizon. Komi and Tadano were on their way back to her place after their eventful date. For one, they caught each other doing… questionable things.

The ride home was quiet. Neither of them had enough composure to bring up any form of conversation given the events of that day.

However, Komi was still leaning onto Tadano's shoulder, purposely angling herself so that she could sniff at his jacket from time to time. She couldn't help it. He smelled so addicting…

"Hey! Komi-san, Tadano-kun!"

It was Najimi. Most of the couple's friends were there too.
"Oh? You guys are here quite early…" Tadano brought his bike to a stop as he and Komi got off.

"Yeah, we thought that we might just wanna come a little bit earlier, you know?" Najimi shrugged. "Also, I have a surprise little game we could do later if y'all have the guts for it! Literally as well" Najimi laughed as he led the group of friends streaming into the Komi household.

"Ah, welcome! You all are rather early, I must say…" Shuuko greeted all of them at the door.

"If you ever need anything, just send Shouko! I'll be in the kitchen if you have any personal questions. Dinner will be done in an hour or so!"

She said all this rather fast. Luckily, they all could keep up with her pace.

Komi motioned for her friends to join her upstairs in the lounge, where they spent time chatting before playing some board games that a few of them brought along.

"So… what actually happened after Komi and I got out of there?" Tadano asked, curious.

Ase and Naruse looked at him, confused and curious.

"Oh wait, you two weren't there…" Tadano scratched the back of his head. His bandages had been removed, although there were a few scars left.

Najimi spared Tadano any explanation and started droning on about that very day, and everyone was listening, whether it was to spot if Najimi had made any adjustments to the actual story or in Ase and Naruse's case, learning what had happened.

Tadano took this time to look at all the friends that had helped him that day.

Manbagi… Her shoulder still seems to ache every now and then.

Kometani… His eye looked as if it was almost fully healed.

Katai… Seems perfectly alright, but he looks slightly shaken… As if what he had done that day was haunting him

"Thanks for helping me and Shouko out a lot that day. I… probably would have been dead if it weren't for you guys…"

[It's no problem, Tadano-kun.]

"Honestly, it was one hell of a time, literally and figuratively- ow…" Manbagi gently massaged her dislocated shoulder.

"I'm just glad all of you are alright after that." Ase sighed with relief. They decided to spare her the in-depth details of Tadano's suffering.

"Oh yeah, Najimi? What did you mean by your 'surprise game'?" Tadano asked, curious.

"Ah… It's a surprise." They let out a cheeky smile which Tadano could read a lot from. He didn't necessarily like that look, although he could tell their intentions were not harmful.

"Alright, then… Guess we'll find out later on."

"Hey kids~ Dinner's ready!"

Their 'dinner' felt more like a feast. The amount of food Shuuko had prepared was just the perfect amount for all of them, and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the food.

"This tastes amazing, Aunt Shuuko!" Tadano piped up barely a minute into the dinner. She laughed to herself. The wave of compliments tempted Shuuko to drop to 'Forever 16', but she felt 17 was perfect as it was so didn't change.

The dinner was lively. Shuuko asked everyone questions regarding love, Najimi kept giving out jokes (and occasionally let some of Tadano's past slip through), and everyone was having a mixed conversation. It was pretty much the perfect dinner.

"Alright, it's game time!" Najimi burst into the lounge, where every one of the group was chilling, including Shuuko.

"Oh, finally. I was wondering what game you would have come up with…"

"Alright, so… it's Truth or Dare… but with a twist!"

"What kind of twist?" Ase asked. Komi perked up.

Najimi carefully placed the large bag he brought on the floor. He zipped it open and started ploughing through layer after layer of padding. Sounds of glass were heard and Najimi even flung out an ice cube which Komi quickly caught.

"So…" Najimi started while still digging through his bag. "You guys know how normal truth or dare works, right?"

Everyone nodded.

"But this time…!"

He whipped out multiple shot glasses as well as a few bottles of sake.

"Wait wait wait… where did ya get all that stuff from?" Manbagi's eyes widened in surprise, as did many others.

"Ah… That's a secret. Anyway, I'll quickly explain the modified rules." Najimi took out another empty glass bottle.

"So, to start, we'll spin this bottle. If the mouth of it points towards you, you'll receive the truth or dare question from the person whom the base of the bottle is facing the next time it is spun. You will have 2 options: Answer truthfully or do the dare depending on whether it was a truth or a dare, or you'll have to take a full drink from this shot glass. It's 20 millilitres by the way."

Everyone took glances at each other. Most of them had yet to turn 18, but in the end, a little fun would be fine, as long as they didn't take too much.

"Alright then, let's do it." Tadano nodded. Najimi smiled.

First spin ended in Manbagi giving a truth to Tadano.

"So how did you confess to Kawai-san…?"

"Pass me the shot glass." Tadano blushed deep red and didn't hesitate with his options. Najimi burst out laughing, handing over the shot glass filled to the brim with sake. He gulped it down in seconds, his face getting redder.

Second spin would be Ase giving Kometani a dare.

"Could you give us a proper smile?" She asked politely.

[Sorry, but I'll take the shot glass.]

Third spin would be Katai asking Najimi a truth question.

"Uh… what gender are you, actually, Najimi?"

In a split second Najimi had drained his shot glass and refilled it.

"Next round!"

Many, many rounds later…

They were all having a great time. Although drunk, as most of them were, (Tadano had taken 8 shots in 10 rounds he was targeted, and Komi, 6 in 7. Manbagi was 6 in 8) they were still enjoying it. Probably because they may have been drunk beyond belief.

So far, Shuuko had been holding out strongly (0 in 7), along with Naruse close behind (surprisingly? He's 1 in 6).

Then, it came time for Komi to give Ase a dare. She wrote the dare on her notepad. Hands trembling slightly, she lifted it up.

"Ase-san, I dare you to kiss Naruse-kun."

Naruse, not drunk, was immediately flustered. Same couldn't be said about his girlfriend, Ase. (She's drunk it 5 in 8 times)

Ase did let out a hint of embarrassment, before she slowly glanced up at Naruse. She got up to draw level with his face, then held his cheek and planted her first-ever kiss on his lips.

"Woooo~!" A slightly drunk Manbagi cheered as Ase and Naruse locked lips.

Ase's eyelids fluttered a little when they parted, before she turned even redder and seemed to regain a sober state.

"Sorry… if I sweat on you…"

"It's alright." Naruse calmly spoke, even if his insides were burning from that experience.

The next and final dare was from mother to daughter, Shuuko to Shouko.

"Ahh~ Shouko… Alright then, it's simple." She took a deep breath, and as daughter and boyfriend glanced at her, she couldn't help but laugh a bit as she gave the dare.

"Give Tadano-kun a french kiss."

Despite their current state, the dare had fully rendered in both of their heads.

French kiss? In front of…?

The two blushed. Komi was considering grabbing another glass, but she was scared she'd get too drunk and do even worse things. The sake had reduced her will to fight her lust, and any more would make her run completely free…

If Ase-san could do it… I don't see why I can't… At least that's how it works right?

She turned to face him, and nodded slightly.

"Oh…?" Tadano, with eyes already closed, leaned forwards at the same time she did. This was unlike their previous kisses. Their lips met at an angle, and they let their tongues feel each other.

He/she tastes… great…

Slowly, they opened their eyes mid-kiss. The look they exchanged was clear. They knew what they wanted to do.

They swapped angles, and kissed again. Saliva strings hung between their lips as they made out passionately, seemingly forgetting the fact that most of their friends were there with them, watching as the couple's tongues twisted their way around each other's mouths.

Slowly, they leaned back, with their eyes meeting. They both smiled and Komi let out a soft giggle. Then they remembered they were being watched. They parted quickly, their asian flush and blush combining to form an epic shade of red on both their faces.

"Sexy…" Najimi teased, before bending down to spin the bottle for its final few rounds.
