I’m sure that if looks could kill, he’d be buried six feet under. Ryu glared back though, the intensity wasn’t anywhere as high as mine.
“Okay we’re done! Let’s start this game!” Toshiro announced and they all cheered. I grabbed a can of beer and downed it instantly then grabbed another. With stupid Ryu there, I’d need a lot of alcohol to relax.
“First round. Who wants to go first?” Sora asked, placing the small basket in the middle of the circle.
“I’ll go” I said. I wanted to get the game over with so I didn’t have to see that face. Now, he was busy conversing with Yua. She kept stealing glances at me and smirking whenever our eyes met. Stupid Yua. If she was trying to anger me, it was working. Why must she get close to Ryu ?
Wait.
Why do I care?
“Okay. Pick a paper each from the baskets” Haruto said. I did as he said. “Read out what’s inside” the guy with the dreadlocks eagerly said.
I first looked at Ryu whose attention was now on me. I frowned then darted my eyes back to the paper. My eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets when I saw what was written inside.
Seeing as I made no move to tell them what it was, Haruto, the dog, impatiently snatched the papers from me and read out loud; “Give your partner a head! Partner is Yua!”
Shit.
My stupid friends burst out laughing. “In your case, you’re about to eat pussy!” Toshiro shouted, cackling madly.
No way. No fucking way. It seemed like I was in a trance and by the time I came back to my senses, I was already locked in the bathroom with Yua.
Holy shit.
She stood there, arms folded under her boobs, purple hair pulled up in a tight ponytail. Wearing very very tight jeans and a crop top but no matter how I thought of it, I couldn’t see myself doing anything sexual with Yua. No no no. The images my brain conjured made me want to gag. I see her as my little sister. Not once have I ever ever seen her as someone I could have sex with.
“So... what are we gonna do for two minutes?” she asked, staring at me. She began to twirl a lock of hair over her shoulder, smiling in a way that was supposed to look... seductive? But honestly, it just freaked me out.
I composed myself, putting on a straight face. “We sure aren’t doing anything sexual”
“You’re not attracted to me?” She asked, looking and sounding surprised.
“Attracted?” I asked, scrunching my face as even the word left a bad taste in my mouth. “Dude you’re my best friend. My sister. Nothing of that sort has ever crossed my mind. That’s gross”. I topped it up with a slight gagging sound. No way in hell!
Yua chuckled, lowering her head to hide her expression. “Gross?”
I felt I didn’t say anything wrong at all. In fact, I further expressed my distaste. “Yuck, gross, eww. Whichever word you want. Don’t worry Yua-chan. I won’t ruin our friendship like this. We’ll be friends forever”
Yua said nothing after that. She turned her back to me, completely ignoring me. I tried to get her to talk but she just brushed me off. I began to wonder if what I said was too much. She’s a girl after all and most girls are sensitive.
I wanted to apologize but then I remembered Aera. I remembered the way she made fun of her and helped spread her pictures to the entire school so I kept quiet. What I said to her was even little.
Two minutes went by fast and everyone was surprised to see both of us come out looking gloomy. We didn’t explain and they didn’t ask. The game went on.
I noticed Yua’s gloomy mood getting even worse. Especially when I and Sara came out of the bathroom with swollen lips and disheveled clothes.
Sara picked my name and the action was to make out which we did. I figured it would get me a step closer to her room.
“Now it’s Ryu’s turn” Sora said. Ryu took out a paper from the basket. He opened it and read out loud in his deep voice. “Turn your partner on”
“Ooooh pick a name! Pick a name! I hope it’s Higuchi” Jeongin squealed excitedly. Higuchi blushed and slapped his shoulder. I rolled my eyes. She doesn’t even know him but she’s eager to get in his pants.
Ryu dipped his hand in the second basket and picked a paper. He unfolded it and his eyes widened a bit when he saw the name.
“Who is it? Come on, tell us” some girl said.
My heart skipped a beat when Ryu’s eyes landed on me.
“Aito”
********
"No fucking way" I said, glaring at Ryu. "I'm not doing that". What kind of bad luck has befallen me today? Why on earth would he pick my name out of all names in the basket?
"Come on dude, it's just a game" Haruto said, laughing which earned him a glare from me.
"The fuck are you saying Haruto" I spat.
"Lighten up man" Sora said to me. "Why did you join if you can't handle it? We're here to have a good time you know"
Toshiro nodded in support. "And it's for fun. It's not like it will work. We all know you're straighter than a pole"
Huh. Is that supposed to make me feel better?
One by one, they all began to give me words of encouragement. I bet they just wanted to see if it'll really happen considering the blooming hatred between I and Ryu.
I scoffed. "There's no way I'm letting another guy touch my dick. That's disgusting"
Ryu chuckled, giving me a taunting look. "What? Are you afraid that you'll suddenly pop a boner?"
Everyone's eyes turned to me and I was sure my face was dark with anger. "I'm not afraid of anything you bastard. It can't happen"
Ryu smirked. "Then let's do it"
It made me mad that Ryu was being so cool about it. Isn't he weirded out by the fact that he's going to touch another guy's balls? Anyway, I won't let him win this round. He has shamed me enough.
"Yeah whatever. Let's get this fucking over with"
