Antonio invited me to come over. However, it was just a bunch of his work friends who got drunk and decided to play this game. So here I was, a grown man in his late twenties, playing spin the bottle with other adults in their late twenties, all because I agreed to come to this get-together. I was annoyed with how childish he acted sometimes, but he was my friend, so I dealt with it. "I am going to get a drink," I spoke. Antonio looked at me and started laughing. "You better hurry Francis!" He yelled.

I started walking toward the kitchen and saw someone sitting there alone. I walked into the room and looked at the person sitting at the table. He was wearing a vest with a long collared shirt and reading the newspaper. Honestly, where did he even get that? I walked over to the fridge and opened it to see if there was something else to drink besides alcohol. "Great," I whispered. There were not many options. "If you want something else to drink, try looking in the cooler," The man spoke. I lifted an eyebrow at him, and he slowly put the paper down and looked at me.

His eyes were enticing and vivid; he was beautiful. He had the busiest eyebrows I had ever seen, but he compensated for it with his wonderful smile. "Ahhh, okay," I spoke. I walked over to the cooler, and just as he said, there were juices. "Thank you," I started. I took one and looked back at him, rereading the paper.

I decided to take a seat in the chair in front of him and started to drink the drink silently. I opened the cap from the beverage and sipped it. "Your name is Francis, right?" He looked up at me. "Ahh! Yes! What was your name? I don't think he introduced us," I laughed nervously. "It is Arthur; nice to meet you; Antonio never shuts up about you," He spoke. "Ah, we have known each other for a long time," I laughed.

He lifted an eyebrow looking at me, and finally put the paper down. "Ahh, are the two of you a couple or something?" He asked. My eyes widened at what he said, and I immediately shook my head. "No! It is not like that!" I laughed. He lifted his eyebrow at me and shrugged his shoulders. "I won't judge you," he started. "Please, I have taste at least," I laughed.

A smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he laughed at what I said. I felt my cheeks heat up, and I smiled at him. He was a funny person. "Don't let him hear that; he might cry," he laughed. I started laughing at what he said and smiled. We both smiled at each other and stared at one another. Something about this situation felt very... good.

"GUYS! I KNEW THE TWO OF YOU ESCAPED HERE, BUT REALLY! YOU ARE HURTING MY FEELINGS!"

Antonio came out of nowhere and pointed at us as if we had betrayed him. "Although I am glad the two of you met, this does not excuse anything! You must be punished!" He chanted. "Punished?" I asked, confused.

"Punish him!"

Feli and Kiku suddenly came into the kitchen. I could tell they all planned this as I saw Lovino, Gilbert, Ivan, Yao, and Ludwig watching from the corner. "Punished?" Arthur asked. "Yes! You two will have to do seven minutes in heaven!" He demanded.

"Antonio... you are drunk, and we are too old for that!" I spoke.
"It's my party! And I do what I want!"
"Ugh? Really?" Arthur asked.

He began walking toward me, forcing me to get up. "Yes! And you two will not come out until I hear some action!" He demanded. I looked over to Arthur, who was rolling his eyes and crossing his arms. It was as if he was used to this type of behavior from him. I mean, I was too, but he was super drunk.

He pulled Arthur to his feet and began to drag the two of us to the living room, where I knew there was a closet. "Get them in there!" He demanded. I felt Feli and Gilbert push us toward the closet.

"Really? Do we have to?" I asked.
"Yeah, we just met five seconds ago!" Arthur said, annoyed. He was starting to fight them, but Gilbert was too strong.
