"Toast to another victory of the Resistance!" Thoma stated as he raised the cup above his head and chugged the alcohol all at once before you could even blink.

"To the Resistance and the revolution," you smiled, fingers tightening around the cup as you tasted the bitter flavour of the liquor on your tongue. You drank it in three gulps and put the mug on the table with a loud clatter. Using your thumb, you wiped the remaining liquid from the corner of your mouth and looked at your friend.

"Finally," he grinned, already pouring another portion of alcohol into your cup. "We're finally making progress."

"Yeah, finally," you agreed with him, taking the bottle from him, accidentally brushing your fingertips against his, and filling his mug with the liquor.

It was a month since you two started living together due to the bounties that were on your heads. A small, long-abandoned house in the middle of a village that the government seemed to not care about was the perfect place for the two fugitives like you and Thoma. Who would have thought that escaping from the authorities and fighting for life can bring people this close. Before the incident, you barely knew each other. There weren't many interactions between the two of you in the past: passing him in the corridors of the Yanshang Teahouse, shy greetings in between completing tasks and short conversations you had while you had to wait for your turn to give a report back were the absolute utmost. It didn't change the fact that you were forced to live together and, based on current events, it didn't turn out to be challenging at all.

In fact, sharing a place with Thoma is a very nice experience – he can cook, he cleans after himself and before you even have a chance to ask him for a favor, he somehow manages to already complete it. Even if you wanted to, you couldn't complain about Thoma. He was a perfect housemate.

The only thing you could possibly think of is that the small house had two bedrooms and only one bathroom leaving both of you to fight over who gets to use it in the morning.

So when one day he came back from hunting with a message that the Resistance won a tremendous battle that is going to greatly enhance their strength and asked if you would like to drink with him and celebrate it, you couldn't refuse his invitation.

"Let's play a game, shall we?" Thoma asked you with a boyish grin and without waiting for your answer he stretched out towards the small cabinet and blindly searched for the cards.

"A drinking game I'm guessing," you said, observing Thoma carefully.

"Oh, how smart," he commented, shuffling the cards. "We're gonna do something easy. Maybe... The old, simple higher or lower?" He raised his eyebrows, placing the deck on the side of the table and drawing one card that he showed you immediately. "See? Seven of hearts. Now you need to guess whether the next card is going to be higher or lower than this one. If you lose, you drink. If you win, I drink. It's that easy," his gaze was focused on your expression and his chin rested on his palm, while the other hand was pointing at the cards.
