Chapter 4: The Bottle

Pen placed his hand on the bottle and gave it a spin. Firey watched the bottle spin around closely, praying it wouldn't land on him. When the bottom came to a stop, it landed on Pencil. Pencil looked at Pen, almost disgusted, and scoffed.

"Gross.." She mumbled.

"Let me go over the rules real quick." Pin said, "Whoever it lands on and the person who spins it must kiss lip to lip for at least 2 seconds. Go for as long as you like besides that. If anyone flammable lands on Firey, we do have yoyleberries so you guys don't burn or die, got it?"

Pen and Pencil nodded, looking at each other, both thinking the same thing.

"Nice spin, bro! You got the hot babe!" Eraser congratulated Pen with a pat on his back. Pen forced a smile on his face.

"Yeah, totally.." He agreed, though not very excitedly. Firey could tell he didn't mean it. To be fair, Pencil didn't look like she wanted to do this either.

"Let's get this over with." Pencil approached Pen, interlocking their lips for a couple seconds before pulling away and gagging, "Ew! You taste horrible." Pencil quickly went back to sitting next to her best friend, Match, who looked a bit upset. Even though she knew it was just a game, part of her still felt hurt by seeing this.

"Okay, Pencil. It's your turn now." Pin stated. Pencil grabbed the bottle and spun it around.

The game felt like it had been going on forever. Spin after spin. Kiss after kiss. It was really boring and Firey was almost falling asleep.

"Alright, my turn." Coiny placed his hand on the bottom and spun it. Firey didn't pay much attention to this, and just closed his eyes, waiting for it to land on someone random until he heard Coiny say, "You've gotta be kidding me.."

Firey opened his eyes and realized that the bottle was facing him. Coiny looked annoyed and angry. Lots of the crowd looks shocked, some faint "ooooos" escaping a few of the objects' mouths.

"NO WAY! I AM NOT KISSING HIM!" Firey complained, crossing his arms.

"Not very thrilled to do this either." Coiny stated.

"If you two don't do it, that's fine, but just know you'll have to wear chicken hats and be called chickens." Pin sneered, holding up a chicken hat.

"Guh-ugh! Fine." Coiny said, crawling over to Firey.

"No! I refuse I'm not gonna-" Firey noticed Coiny lean closer in, "Hey! Stop that! No! Coiny stop it!" Coiny continued leaning closer, Firey instinctively backing away, "Cut it out! Go back to your side of the circle! I'm not gonna-"

Firey felt Coiny cup his cheek and close the gap between them, interlocking their lips. His face flushed filled with shock, freezing up in the process. They sat there for what felt like hours before Coiny pulled away.

"There." Coiny said, scooting back to his spot in the circle. The other objects around them were shocked. Firey was also shocked and flustered. Leafy and Pin were sharing smug looks. Gelatin looked a bit confused.

"WHAT THE HELL, DUDE?!" Firey yelled, finally snapping back to reality.

"What?" Coiny asked.

"THAT WAS WAY MORE THAN 2 SECONDS!" Firey fumed.

"And? We could've been there for 2 hours. It was only like 10 seconds." Coiny retorted with an unamused shrug.

"THAT WAS STILL 5 TIMES THE AMOUNT OF TIME NEEDED!" Firey's flames grew hotter.

"It's whatever! Just spin the fucking bottle already. We don't have time for this." Coiny gave a dismissive hand wave and Firey scowled, but spun the bottle anyways.

After many rounds, Firey was getting bored.

"Y'all, this is getting boring. I'm gonna go get some food." Firey said.

"Oh, okay! One second, I'll come with you!" Gelatin placed his hand on the bottle and spun it. The object who the bottle landed on last had left so Gelatin took over the spin. When it stopped, it stopped on Firey once again. Unlike with Coiny, Firey was less concerned with kissing Gelatin since he actually LIKED Gelatin and he wasn't his arch rival. Gelatin, however, looked a bit more nervous and looked up to the circle.

"Is it gay to kiss your best friend?" He asked, almost half joking.

"In this game? Nah. In real life? Yes." Eraser replied.

"Might as well get this over with." Firey said, looking over to Gelatin, who was luckily sitting right beside him.

"Okay.." Gelatin muttered turning to face Firey. They looked at each other for a few moments before leaning in, touching their lips together. After a few seconds, Firey pulled away and got up, reaching out his hand to Gelatin. Gelatin took it. Pin watched them walk away and spun the bottle after they left.

They approached the food table. "Uhh, dude? You can stop holding my hand now." Firey said, pointing down to Gelatin's hand. Gelatin quickly let go, face flushing.

"Oh, yeah! Of course. Sorry." Gelatin spluttered.

"Oh, hey! You should totally try this cake." Firey pointed to the cake near the end of the table, "It's SO good!"

Without hesitation, Gelatin cut himself a piece, and took a bite. His eyes widened in shock.

"Dude.. Am I tasting colors..?" Gelatin drawled. Firey laughed, leaning onto Gelatin.

"Dude! You're not high!" Firey joked. Gelatin chuckled along with him.

"Hehe, yeah." He continued eating the cake until his plate was empty, "That was the best cake I've ever tasted."

"I know, right? Pin's such a great baker." Firey agreed, "Wanna play Truth or Dare?"

Gelatin looked over to the Truth or Dare corner, a single thought filing his mind, almost trying to prevent him from saying yes. However, he hesitately agreed and they walked over to the TOD corner. Gelatin was staring at Firey as they sat down, however, Firey didn't notice.

"I guess I'll start." Needle said.
