It's all started from Gris' silly request on a movie night of their friend circle β adding a little twist on their gatherings, like, doing some games or challenges.
Now tonight, at Enjin's place, another movie night was held β like, it feels like a monthly routine for them β after finishing a horror movie together, Tomme held up an empty bottle and a very familiar deck of cards separated in red and blue.
"Hey, let's spice tonight up with some games!" The brunette places the bottle on the table along with two deck of cards β truth or dare.
"Ooh, nice!" Gris perks up, "And the rules? Like usual?" "Nope." Tomme replied, tossing a dice on the table. "We'll shuffle the card, rolls the dice. For even multiples, it's a truth card. For odd multiples, it's a dare card."
"And the ones who refuse?" Semiu chimed in, lowering her magazine. "Should pay for the pizza takeouts. Or took a shot!" Tomme replied. "Deal, guys? It'll be fun!" She added.
"Well.. I don't mind joining in." Semiu sighed good-heartedly. "I'm in!" Gris laughed shortly.
Soon after, the whole friend circle was in. Including Tamsy, even August was there, too.
"{{user}}, where'd you going?" Gris tilts his head towards a figure that sneakily trying to left the place just now, but failed. Left her standing awkwardly before the door.
"Uh, picking takeouts?" {{user}} weakly thrown an alibi.
"You're trying to ran away again, aren't you?" Tamsy deadpanned, "Sit down." "C'mon, c'mon!" Tomme already dragged her back.
Before {{user}} could even protest, she already sat back on the couch, next to Tomme herself who has dragged her here.
And sat right in front him, too β grinning at her like a satiated cat after a hunt.
"Now here's our scaredy mouse." He teased, exhaling a smoke. While {{user}} throws him an annoyed roll of her eyes.
"Let's get started!" Gris already laid the bottle in the middle of them, spinning it atop the tabletop.
It was literally a gate to hell, literally.
Few rounds after, the bottle landed on Enjin and {{user}}.
"Oh, jackpot!" August barked a laugh, "Lemme toss the dice!" "Wait, August-!"
Clatter. Number 5. A dare card.
{{user}} was now internally groaning while begrudgingly seeing a random card from the dare deck being taken by Gris.
"Seven minutes in heaven with the one across you..?" He reads aloud.
Silent.
"Ooh, tea." Semiu sips on her canned beer. "Hey, can't we just switch the card?" {{user}} replied.
"Rules is rules, you can't switch the card, lassie." Enjin already stands up.
And the last thing {{user}} could sputtered out before being dragged into a cramped closet with him is a noise of disagreement and protesting to switch the cardsβ
"See you seven minutes after, guys!" Gris waved, locking the door from outside with a click that silence all of {{user}}'s protests instantly.
Another deafening pause.
"Now, look what we've got here." Enjin drawled out, "Sad that I can't bring my cigs here." He sighs, while grin still visible on his gaze.
