Notes:

Has anyone ever heard of Drunk-Dazed from Enhypen?

-----------------------------------

Last Chapter

“The first person huh…” Mark tapped his fingers on his chin, wondering if he should just drink his shots instead. He thought it would be a hassle of a situation but one look at Nick made him change his drunken mind. With a trickster's smile on his face his eyes narrowed down when the Senpai returned his gaze. Then slowly he looked to the side and pointed with his pointer finger “This one”.

He was pointing at Leon.

—

Petrified silence followed right after. Then the sound of exactly two cups falling down on the table: one from Nick and the other one from John. That last one slammed his hands on the table shooting up his upper body in complete indignation.

“WHAT?!” He screamed.

And what followed was mayhem. Drunken people are really silly aren’t they? Everything is amusing to them. Lots of similar exclamations were thrown around, lots of loud whispers between groups of friends, people were thumping excitedly on the table with their hands as they debated with each other, some were even exchanging money giving away the bets they made. The whole party was an absolute mess.

“YOU SAID YOU WEREN’T DATING!” John yelled out again feeling completely betrayed. Was he a joke to his friends?!

Leon, who was both annoyed at Mark and annoyed at the noise, had his two pointer fingers up, covering his ears “WE AREN’T!!” He screamed over everyone else. Well, that caught the rest of the people’s attention.

Nick, who was utterly stunned up to this point, seemed to have come back to life after hearing Leon’s voice. He slammed the side of a fist on the table and shot “He just admitted it! Don’t try lying to us!”

“I’m not!! I— MARK!” Leon threw his hands up at the situation looking from Nick, to John, to everyone else then to his shorter friend “Fix this shit!!”

Mark, who was shamelessly laughing out loud at everything, brushed off a tear from the corner of his eye, as he held his stomach. “That was hilarious” He laughed some more, with everyone’s eyes on him “Aahaa~ They asked who you were so I answered” He referred to Leon, a stupidly naughty smile still on his face.

“Oh my gawd” Leon pulled at his own face. “What a paaain in the aaaass” He stretched. “What happened to the one question per round rule??!”

“Fuck that!!” Nick threw his hands up this time. A very sour feeling was finding home on his chest, that did not sit right with him at all.

“I am revoking my rights as a betrayed friend to know WHAT THE ATCUAL FUCK” John who was sitting right by Mark’s side, was now shaking his friend by the shoulder as the other kept laughing like a hyena.

“Stop– Stop looking at me like that!” Leon complained to both Nick and John who were staring suspiciously at him. His ears were fully red at the situation, the whole thing was ridiculous. He breathed in and: “IT WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL ALRIGHT?!” screamed out, but it sounded more like a cry than a scream “First year of High School!” He went on gesturing at nothing with his nervous hands.

A collective “Oooh” sounded all around the room.

“I always knew something was going on” John made an disgusted sneer. He understood the truth, but he was just pissed at the way he found it out.

“We are not dating anymooooore!” Leon pulled at his own hair.

“You want us to believe that?!” Nick scrunched up his nose “You’re always together!” And pointed at Mark. He wanted to break something, just to release that horrible sentiment inside his chest.

“You’re friends with your ex too!!” The redhead was so done with all this bullshit.

“I don’t go around hugging and getting my face close to kissing Pearl” Because yes, Nick had seen their little moment on the beach, he almost threw a ball at their heads.

“Urrrg! Fine, that’s fair, but there’s nothing going on with us!” He flopped his face on his hands “This is exactly why we don’t tell anyone, nobody ever believes us. AND YOU” He pointed to Mark, who was still giggling innocently “I hate you”.

“You looove me” Mark winked at him. Nick fumed on the side. So easy to read, the shorter thought.

“I WILL defenestrate you”

“Alright, alright” Mark held his hands up in defeat, still smiling “Leon’s telling the truth. Does everyone want to hear it?” And when no one said anything, just looked at him intently he went on “He was my first boyfriend, guys. Wasn’t that the question? We grew up together and we realized our sexuality around the same time.”

“We thought that the two of us dating was just a matter of time” Leon gestured tiredly.

Mark nodded “We knew everything about each other, so it was easy. But it turns out we did not work out as a couple at all” He shrugged.

“So we went back to being friends and that’s the end of that” Leon completed.

“And that’s the end of that” John parroted him like a kid, still feeling left out. Leon flicked his forehead.

“And about the hugging and whatnot” Mark now looked directly into Nick’s eyes who were full of content for himself “We were always like that, before dating AND after dating. We also act like that with John. I think the period we went out was actually the one when we barely had any contact, right?” He asked and Leon nodded. But just to piss off Nick some more he added “He’s a good kisser tho”

“OH MY GOD, SHUT UP” Leon threw a packet of potato chips on his friend’s face, who just laughed it out. 

“Eeeew, don’t make me imagine that” John slapped the side of Mark’s arm

“Awwwn, are you jelly?” Drunk Mark said, throwing himself over John’s shoulder “You want a kissie too?” He made a pout with his mouth, making mooch noises as his friend pushed away his cheek.

“Get away, get awaaaay”

Everyone else seemed to laugh it out of the situation, they were watching the whole thing as if it was a very interesting movie. Most of them believed and were satisfied with the explanation, but some still seemed doubtful as to if they were telling the truth or not. Nevertheless, they didn’t care about it anymore as the game restarted.

The damage was done though. Mark knew, as he registered the change of how Nick was looking at him. Inside his head Mark smiled confidently at what could come out of it.

—

After the whole Ask Away was totally shattered as everyone kept asking more questions than they should, they all decided to switch it up, spice it up if you will. The new game they were playing was the King’s game.

Here's how it worked: they wrote a bunch of numbers on tiny papers, with the exact amount of people that were there. One of the papers had “King'' written on it. Whoever drew that paper could order any number to do anything they wanted, well except actual hurtful things of course. Oh, and obviously, if they refused to complete the task, they had to drink, not a shot, but a whole glass.

“Whooooo’s the king! Who’s the king! Who’s the king” They chanted, beating rhythmically on the table as everyone took a paper. “The king iiiiis” They drummed away. 

“Me!” Moon (Or was that Star?) said, smiling happily “Alright! Then, number 8 will sit on number’s 14 lap for three rounds!”

Lot’s of “woos” and whistles sounded as a big guy embarrassedly sat on a tiny cute girl’s lap. She was a good sport about it, and hugged his waist for everyone's excitement. The guy covered his face, giggling like an idiot.

They all put back their papers back and started again “Whooooo’s the king! Who’s the king! Who’s the king. The king is!”

“Ah, me” A shy boy raised his hand “Ah, I’m not good at this stuff, hmmm. Then number 4, take a shot, spin ten times and try to walk a straight line” He didn’t want to make anyone uncomfortable, but somehow it was even worse.

A tall girl who was friend’s with Star got up cursing the boy as she drank the shot. The girl was barely able to spin to the end and she fell down laughing maniacally together with everybody else after three wobbly steps. Then she drank her punishment.

And once again “Whooo’s the king! Who’s the king! Whoo’s the king. The. king. IS~”

“Me” Henry threw both his arms up, looking more drunk than ever “Number 1 and number 2, look lovingly into each other’s eyes for 30 seconds!” He held three fingers up to show off the number. Wrongly, of course. “Your faces have to be really close!” He added.

“Eh~” Two girls exclaimed shyly. One of them got up and walked until she was face to face with the other one.

“Excuse me” She said and held the other girl's hands automatically, and they started staring at one another.

Ten seconds in they started to giggle timidly, but they did not lose eye contact. Twenty seconds in, one of them started to blush a little, and their giggles multiplied. After thirty seconds the girl who had gotten up couldn’t help but give the other a little kiss on cheek to seal it off.

Everyone went nuts, finding it utterly adorable. They went even more crazy when the person who was sitting besides the girl scooched over to accommodate both of them side by side.

“Alright, this is getting fun! Papers in people!” John laughed as he shook the little container for the raffle.

The game went on and on. A few people refused the king’s orders and got booed as they drank their punishment, but even that was fun for them. They made people scream silly things out of the window, they made people hug, they made them see how much pocky they could fit at once in their mouth, they made people race on the floor like worms, they made people confess their love. It was complete chaos.

 “Who’s the king! Who’s the king! Who’s the king. THE KING IS!”

“Well, well, well” Mark smiled sweetly holding his king’s paper.
