When The Party Really Starts

Emerson and Sebastian are sitting in the den with Lonny, Jinxx, and Christian. They see Josie stomp her way into another room, cursing and tripping over her steps. 

"Well, hopefully that's over," Emerson chuckles. "Hopefully Rem is still alive to see another day."

"Shit, have you seen Andy," asks Lonny. "I think I saw him going to the backyard where he was."

Emerson and Sebastian get up to see where their middle brother is. They glide past people and try to get through the crowd. As they enter the kitchen, they see the two men talking and sitting on the countertops. Remington is smiling and and Andy is laughing with his arm around him close. 

"Shit man, we may have just been right," Sebastian says. The two brothers stay out of sight and watch from the other side of the room. Their brother looks so happy and carefree, which is rare as of lately.

The two catch a glimpse the brothers and quickly jump off of the counters, as if they were caught doing something bad. 

"Come on you two, come play a game with us in the den! Fill up your drinks," Sebastian says, leaving the boys. They fill up their cups and follow the brothers into the room with all the bandmates plus some girls they have never seen before. 

"Okay, so let's play Never Have I Ever and take a drink if you have done something, okay?" Lonny says and looks at all the new and old friends. 

Andy is rubbing Remington's back and calming him down. "I mean shit, okay, I'm scared," Remington giggles, looking over at the dark haired man. The brothers watch them from across the couch. 

Lonny says, " Okay, never have I ever dumped someone over text." Jinxx, Andy, and Emerson all take a swig of their drink, laughing. Andy raises his eyebrow at Remington, who sits still and laughs with the rest of them.

"Okay, okay," Jinxx laughs. "Never have I ever faked an orgasm." Everyone looks around, and poor Remington takes a small sip. 

"Really, Rem?" Sebastian chuckles.

"Please don't let Josie know," he mumbles, trying not to laugh so he looks down. Andy pulls him closer to him and continues to rub his back. He relaxes into the man and leans his head on him. 

Andy whispers in his ear, "You know, you'd never have to fake one with me." Remington chokes and starts coughing. He looks at Andy with wide eyes. Did he really just say that?

One of the newer girls, Ashley, joins in. "Never have I ever gotten a tattoo I regretted." Everyone in the room laughs and takes a swig. "Well, shit for us huh," she laughs. 

Now it is Sebastian's turn. He has been watching the two men and now is his chance to make them squirm. "Never have I ever had a crush on someone in this room." Remington blushes and looks to the side. Andy looks over at him, and takes a big gulp of his screwdriver and licks his lips when he is done. Remington goes wide eyed again and takes a small sip and looks to the other side of the room again. Jinxx, Sebastian, Ashley, and her friend takes a sip.
