The bottle stops, pointing to the head of the table. You sigh with relief; a feeling that is short lived. Looking up, you notice that the seat there is no longer empty.
"When did he get here?!" You squeak. Mephisto smiles.
"What is this game, then?" He looks around to your classmates, before his eyes meet yours.
"Seven minutes in heaven." Shima holds back a giggle. "You just have to go in that closet there, with _____, for seven minutes." Mephisto raises an eyebrow.
"Sounds awfully boring." Shrugging, he rises from his seat. "But I'm not one to break a game's rules!" He smiles brightly, gesturing for you to follow him. Looking to your classmates, you shrug.
"I hate you." You mime to Shima. Hand over his mouth, he holds in a laugh.

Closing the door behind you, you stand in an awkward silence.
"So, what are we meant to be doing in here?" He queries. Clearing your throat, you take a moment to find the right thing to say.
"What ever we want, I suppose." You feel yourself becoming flustered, not something you have ever felt around him before.
"And what do people usually want to do?" Taking a step closer to you, he lowers his voice. You press a cool hand to your own face in an attempt to calm your growing blush.
"Er, well-" You fiddle with the hem of your shirt. "They usually kiss. Or something like that." Giggling nervously, you shrug. He tilts his head. Instinctively, you find yourself shrinking against the wall. Its cool brick brings you back to yourself.

"Well." He places a hand beside your head. "I suppose it's just a game." Moving closer to you, his lips almost touch yours.
"B-but..." Your words are almost silent. "This is inappropriate." Fire returns to your cheeks. Smirking, he brings his lips but an inch from yours.
"Who will know?" He whispers. Bringing his lips to yours, he kisses you carefully. You keep your hands against the wall, not knowing what to do with your body.

You are interrupted by a loud knock at the door.
"Seven minutes are up." Shima chimes. Mephisto moves away from you. With a small smile, he holds the door open for you. Quietly thanking him, you leave the room and take your seat at the table. Staying silent, you stare off into the distance.
"Are you alright?" Rin nudges you. Shaking your head, you snap yourself out of it.
"Yeah, of course!" You smile sweetly.
"I didn't think he was that scary!" Laughing, Rin reaches for the bottle in the table's centre and spins it. Sighing with relief, you are thankful that he didn't ask any more questions. The doors to the canteen swing shut. Mephisto is gone, just as suddenly as he appeared.
