Amaranth

Chapter 6: Alstroemeria

After setting up bowls of chips, candies, various other snacks, and shot glasses filled with alcohol, everyone began discussing what drinking game they wanted to play first.

"We could do truth or dare!" Sasha offered.

"Too basic," Ymir argued.

"Never have I ever?" Sasha offered.

"We played that in the car," Connie reminded her.

"We didn't," Jean said.

"We didn't ask that many questions in the car anyway," Armin reminded them.

"I guess we could play again," Connie groaned.

"That work for everyone?" Jean asked.

Everyone nodded and began discussing the rules. "Alright, here's how we'll play," Sasha began, "We'll go clockwise asking questions. If you've done it, drink. If you haven't done it, you do nothing. If someone asks you to tell the story of how something happens, you have to tell it 100% truthfully. Anyone caught in a lie has to chug half a bottle."

"Damn, ruthless," Connie muttered.

"I take drinking games very seriously, thank you," Sasha said proudly.

Everyone nodded in acceptance of the rules as they all began formulating questions to ask. "I've got one!" Connie announced after a few seconds.

"We'll start with Connie then," Sasha told them.

"Okay, okay," Connie said excitedly, "Never have I ever done drugs?"

Everyone looked around the circle and saw that the only person to drink was Annie. "Do tell," Ymir smirked.

"My dad made me take steroids," Annie shrugged, "Oh, and I think Heroin once."

"Damn," Ymir cringed. "Oh, I guess it's my turn," Ymir said after a few seconds, "Hmm, never have I ever sent someone nudes."

Everyone drank except Mikasa and Armin. "Eren," Mikasa said as she turned to face Eren.

"It was to Armin!" Eren defended himself quickly.

"Huh?" the whole group asked.

"He wanted to know... Uhh," Armin stuttered.

"You know what," Mikasa cut them off, "I really don't want to know."

"I do," Jean said, mostly just wanting to embarrass Eren.

"He wanted to know," Armin said as he gulped.

"If it was too small!" Eren shrieked, wanting to just get it out of his mouth.

The whole group began laughing for a while before it died down. Mikasa patted Eren's legs that were still in her lap, trying to comfort him. She hadn't intended to embarrass him so badly, and she admittedly felt a little bad for him.

"Historia's question," Ymir said as she bumped Historia's shoulder.

"Oh, okay," Historia said as she began thinking, "Hmm, never have I ever been arrested?"

This time, Mikasa was the only one who drank. "Oh, well now we need a story," Ymir smirked. Mikasa panicked. She'd rather die than tell everyone. Instead, she reached for the nearest bottle and chugged half of it, surprising everyone. "That bad, huh?" Ymir asked curiously.

"Mhm," Mikasa hummed, feeling a little disoriented.

"It's Mikasa's turn to ask," Historia said as she poked Mikasa to get her attention.
