The walk down to said "party house" actually wasn't that bad, with Axel cracking jokes at everything he could. I couldn't help but smile at that dork. We were soon at the door, Axel just casually walking in. He didn't need to knock…? I followed in, shutting the door quietly behind myself. There was laughing in a room that I couldn't see, and Axel soon had my hand. I wasn't sure what to say, so I let him pull me back there, his friends sitting in a large circle with cans of beer. Oh, no. This wasn't a drinking party, right? I slid my hand away from Axel's and sort of looked off to the side.

I didn't want to be at a party where they would be drinking. God, no. Axel felt my uneasiness and pulled me back into the kitchen, reaching across the counter. I wanted to leave, to bolt away like I had earlier that day. There was soon something pushing against my mouth, and I sort of leaned back, my body already against the counter. When I looked, it was a chip with some sort of dip, Axel laughing. I made a face at him, though I didn't mean it. It wasn't packed with anything apparently, because Axel just forced the chip in my mouth.

It tasted good, and I couldn't help but be a little surprised. Usually when people have to force feed you… it's because you don't want it. And again, we were in the living room, but we were actually sitting in that weird circle of all his friends, where I only had one… Axel.

It was a strange feeling, to be surrounded by so many strangers, including their girlfriends, who were giggling and talking to one another on the couches. I couldn't focus on anything, my eyes continuously going back to the redhead beside me. It wasn't long before we were playing games, mostly charades. They were easy to guess, but when I was forced to play too, I got up and pretended to play baseball, hitting a fake homerun and watching it fly. They guessed right pretty fast as I sat back down with a little laugh. This was actually… kind of fun. I found myself shouting answers, even if I didn't know they were right. Laughter was taking over me and the people around me, and it was amazing.

But as the laughter over Jenga was coming to an end, people busted out that awful game… the worst game. Truth or Dare. I found myself and one of the other guys groaning in both annoyance and irritation. I fucking hated this game, so much. It always lead to weird things, like kissing and awkward questions about sex. But I ended up playing anyway, sitting in a circle with everyone, including the girls.

The questions were all stupid and pointless at first, they always were. But it was all quickly fading into more weird things, like the guys kissing each other's girlfriends, but when it came down to myself and Axel, no one knew what to ask or dare. Of course I took truth, because there was no way in hell that I was kissing anyone here.

"Okay, okay, I've got one!" Demyx yelled, the only one in the circle without a girlfriend. "Roxas- are a virgin?" Oh, god. I swallowed hard as all the heads in the room turned to me. Letting out a breath, I knew I had to tell the truth. I shook my head no slowly, looking down at the floor. Everyone seemed surprised.

"Who was she? Is she from here?" a girl's voice called. And again I sort of swallowed, and as I opened my mouth to answer, Demyx jumped forward, landing in front of me on his elbows. I felt myself jump back a bit before I even realized that I had.

"Do you give or receive?" he asked, eyes trained on my own. Blushing hard, I stammered around my starting word before just shrinking and looking away from all of them. I was going to pop! I was exceeding my level of tolerance!

"Come on, lay off. You can only ask one question per round," Xemnas remarked, sounding almost indifferent to the situation! Thank goodness. Xemnas must have been some kind of angel, sent down from heaven to help me out of this choking situation. Still holding my tongue, I didn't return any words to either question, not ready to tell them the story behind my… well, first fuck.

I so did not want to go there! I didn't want to explain the soft bed… those cold fingers… the bliss. I sort of wiggled to the outskirts of the circle. Trying not to think about that night made me think about it all the more. And the conversation was lost in translation until- "to kiss someone." I looked up and around, seeing that it was Axel's dare. I prayed to myself that he wouldn't kiss me, but strangely, in my own head… I didn't want him to kiss anyone else. Was it jealousy? I wondered if it had been or not… but looking to Axel's face, he had heated to a cool shade of pink.

He laughed quietly before putting his hands up in mock defense. "I'd really rather not kiss anyone in here- that cool? I'll answer one of your dumb questions though." A smile landed on my face. He wasn't going to embarrass me? How sweet…

"Okay, then… Hm." Everyone fell silent as they tried to think of something embarrassing to ask. I had all kinds of questions running inside my head, but I didn't voice them, knowing that they would sound stupid. Do you like me?

"Okay, okay! Axel-"
