Spin the bottle - Many ships

Tw: None

Kenji waltzed into the room with an almost empty water bottle and an expression that spelled danger. He placed it on the floor and opened his mouth, drawing in a large breath to announce something.

"Whatever you're about to say better not involve that water bottle," Yaz interrupted before he could even get a word out.

"Actually, it does," Kenji said pointedly, pulling Brooklynn over to him and sitting down excitedly. Yaz looked down at the bottle then back up at him and shook her head slowly.

"Absolutely not," she said, looking at Kenji as if he were crazy.

"What? I'm bored and it's a fun game," he said, getting a confused look from Brooklynn who had no idea what they were talking about. The rest of the campers looked equally out of the loop.

"I'm sorry but what exactly are you two talking about?" Ben asked, crossing his arms.

"Spin the bottle!" Kenji said, flicking it to demonstrate how it would spin around. Ben blinked without any noticeable reaction. Kenji's jaw dropped. "Wait. You guys have never played spin the bottle before?!" he exclaimed, looking around to see a chorus of shaking heads. "Oh, then we definitely have to play. It's a super simple game. First, we sit in a circle around the bottle." Ben and Darius reluctantly walked over and sat down. Yaz frowned, glancing towards Sammy.

"I'll play if you do," she said under her breath.

"Sure, I don't know exactly what the game is but it sounds fun!" Sammy replied innocently, grabbing her hand and pulling them both towards the circle to join the others.

"What happens now?" Darius asked, looking at the bottle that was in the middle of the group.

"Okay, just like the name of the game, someone has to spin the bottle. Whoever it lands on, they kiss." Kenji explained. Darius stared at him blankly with his mouth open in surprise. Ben looked a little horrified.

"Kiss? Like on the lips?" he said, shuffling away from the circle.

"No!" Kenji said, dragging him back, "well, you don't have to kiss them on the lips. It can be a cheek kiss, that still counts." Darius and Ben looked less than convinced but also a little curious.

"Well it's just a little kiss," Sammy said, reaching for the bottle, "that's no big deal." She spun it confidently.

"Didn't see that coming," Kenji said surprised, as the bottle spun around and around. It eventually slowed down and moved slowly past Darius... and eventually pointed right back at her. She giggled and kissed her hand and then placed her hand on her cheek.

"See.. easy!" she said.

"There's no way that counts!" Brooklynn interrupted, looking towards Kenji for an answer.

"No, it doesn't. You'll have to spin it again until it lands on anyone but yourself," he said, laughing a little.

"Alright, alright," Sammy said, and spun the bottle again, a little softer this time. The room fell silent as everyone watched it intently. It slowed down and stopped pointing dead straight at Yaz. Her eyes darted nervously towards Sammy who looked a little uncertain.

"Well, what are you waiting for?" Brooklynn said smugly, "I thought you said this was easy!" Sammy rolled her eyes.

"It is!" she retorted, suddenly giving Yaz a soft kiss on the lips for a brief second before pulling away. Brooklynn blinked in surprise. Yaz went red and looked back towards the bottle trying not to smile. Brooklynn narrowed her eyebrows and reached for the bottle, not wanting to be shown up. She spun it hard and it whizzed around, slowing down at Yaz but just swinging over to Kenji at the last second.

"Aw c'mon," Ben protested, "you guys are literally already dating."

"Still counts," Brooklynn said smugly, grabbing Kenji's face and giving him a confident kiss that lasted just a second too long. Ben rolled his eyes looking frustrated over Brooklynn's fortunate luck.

"Alright, any more volunteers?" Kenji said, quickly greeted by silence. "Okay in that case, we go counterclockwise from the last person who went," he said, looking at Brooklynn. Ben nodded in agreement until he realized that meant he had to go next. He froze and looked at the bottle like it was a carnotaur about to swallow him whole.

"Oh well, might as well get it over with I suppose," he said, giving the bottle a weak spin. It barely spun twice before landing on Darius. Darius looked up and smiled at Ben reassuringly.

"You got this," he said, turning his face to the side. Ben sighed and leaned forward. At the last moment Darius turned his head back and what was intended as a cheek kiss turned into a brief lip kiss before Ben jerked away in realization.

"Darius what the heck?!" he said, reeling backward. Darius laughed so hard he clutched at his stomach.

"Got... you..." he gasped in between laughter. Ben smiled and laughed as well, finding it funny.

"Hilarious," he said, trying to sound unamused but the smile on his face gave away his real reaction. Yaz was smiling watching them when she reached decisively for the bottle.

"I wanna get this done so I don't have to worry about it," she said, spinning the bottle in a calculated way as if she had a specific target. It landed cleanly on Brooklynn and Yaz grinned, glancing at Kenji. The perfect chance to get some revenge on him for getting her to play this game.

"Could be worse," she said, playing it off as pure chance.

"'Could be worse?!" Brooklynn said, sounding a little offended. "I think you mean 'couldn't be better. Now you get the amazing opportunity to kiss the one and only Brook-" she was cut off by Yaz kissing her, which she was expecting to take some convincing. Yaz made sure to hold it just long enough for Kenji to look jealous. Sure enough, when she pulled away he was sitting there with his arms crossed trying to act like he didn't care. Brooklynn gave her a weird look but caught her smirking at Kenji and smiled in realization. Yaz leaned back into her spot smugly while Kenji shot her a glaring look. She looked back confidently and shrugged.

"What? It's only a little kiss, no biggie," she said, quoting Sammy. Kenji sighed in defeat and reached out for the bottle. He spun it strongly and it whirled around for a long time before settling on Yaz.

"No." they both said in unison, and Kenji spun it again. Nobody else questioned it, they all knew that was never ever going to happen. This time the bottle landed on Ben. Kenji shrugged and planted a small kiss on Ben's cheek.

"Take me to dinner first," Ben joked, earning laughs from the group. They all turned their attention to Darius who was the last one left to spin. He reached out and spun the bottle a little nervously. It whizzed around for the last time and landed on Sammy. Darius smiled, looking relieved that he hadn't landed on someone bad. He leaned up and kissed Sammy on the cheek respectfully, ending the game in a wholesome sort of way.

"That was fun," Kenji said, getting nods from the group. "Wanna play again?" he asked.

"No."

"Absolutely not."

"Pretty sure this was a one-time thing."

Kenji sighed.

"Alright then what do you guys wanna play?" he asked, looking bored.

"Truth or dare?" Yaz suggested. They all broke into talking at once, arguing over what the rules should be. Kenji smiled. Life was never too boring with the campers around.
