"Cheers," He voiced while drinking the shot. I glanced at my glass and refused to give myself time to think myself out of it, so I threw the liquid down my throat.

As soon as it touched my tongue, a series of thoughts and sensations popped up. I scrunched my face at the intensity of the drink, causing him to chuckle.

"See, that wasn't so bad, now was it?" He bumped my shoulder playfully.

"It's terrible! How do people drink that shit," I gagged, "It's disgusting, it literally tastes like rubbing alcohol-or even hand sanitizer." I described.

"it's not that bad, you'll get used to it." Luca appeared next to me with an empty shot glass of his own.

"You're an alcoholic and a pothead, I don't take opinions from you," I affronted him.

"I drink every now and then and I smoke a little weed-alcoholic and pothead are a little dramatic," Luca rolled his eyes at me.

"Angelo you never been drunk, have you?" Jeremiah poured more of whatever it was into our cups.

"no, and i don't have a desire to be either," I cut my eyes at him when he handed me another full glass.

"Come on, do one more shot and i'll leave you alone," He begged.

"absolutely not." I shook my head.

"Please? For me?" He held the cup to my chest, ready for me to grab.

My eyes took turns looking between the cup and Jeremiah, then I glanced at Luca for guidance, although, he was clearly in his own world.

for him, do it, angelo.

i thought you didn't care for jeremiah?

i lied. take that fucking drink.

I let out a defeated and frustrated sigh and snatched the glass out of his hand, "fuck you," I flicked him off before throwing my head back to swallow the distasteful concoction.

I coughed at that and I felt his larger hand pat my back, "Wasn't so bad,"

"This counts as peer pressuring, by the way," I cleared my throat.

"yea, whatever," He hit me whimsically, something he's been tending to do a lot.

"Do you guys want to take shots?" Jolece shimmied her way in between me and Jeremiah, specifically looking at Jeremiah.
