Party Games~Fireoiny

Chapter 6: Beer and Karaoke

Firey was leaning on the snack table again. He was watching the other objects move around and have fun. He sat there for a while, not realizing how long he was actually standing there for until he noticed some of the other objects leaving. Eventually, a voice broke his trance.

"Hey."

Firey snapped back to reality and looked to his left. There he was again, the person he hated so much. Coiny. He appeared to be holding a red solo cup filled with some orangey-brown liquid.

"Oh, it's you." Firey scoffed with an eye roll.

"Jeez, I wasn't even trying to be rude this time.." Coiny looked a bit disappointed but also frustrated at Firey's remark, "I just came to offer you a drink." He extended the cup out to Firey. Firey looked a bit skeptical.

"Did you lace it with something? Is it poisoned? Water? Is the ice floating or sinking?"

Coiny rolled his eyes, "No, it's just beer."

Firey still seemed a bit skeptical but took the cup anyways, taking a small sip to make sure it was safe to drink. To his surprise, it was just a normal cup of beer like Coiny said.

"Well, I'll leave you alone now." Coiny sighed and turned to leave.

"Wait."

Coiny stopped turned back around, placing one of his hands on his hip, "Hm?"

"Sorry."

Coiny sighed and gave a dismissive hand wave, "It's whatever. Just..enjoy your drink."

"Thanks, really, I truly don't appreciate you enough to know that you're not always trying to be malicious, but now I understand." Firey smiled softly at Coiny.

Something about this comment and Firey's smile made Coiny a bit warm. He choked it up to Firey just being made of fire.

"No need to thank me. Just, try not to drink too much. There's move over there if you want a few more drinks." Coiny pointed to where the rest of the beer was and then walked away.

Firey smiled and continued drinking his drink. He watched as a few more objects departed from the party, Gelatin being one of these. Eventually, he noticed his drink was all gone.

"Hm." Firey finally moved for the first time in a while to get more. This became a quick routine everytime he noticed his cup being empty.

9:00 rolled around. Firey's head was spinning and he heard Pin tap on the microphone on the stage.

"Okay, everyone! We will now be starting karaoke! Leafy has a sign up sheet, so if you want to sing something, head to her and have her put your name on the list! We will start soon." Pin announced. Firey watched a few objects scurry up to put their names on the list, swearing he was seeing double.

He sat there for a few moments, just confused, his head aching with a slight pain and nauseous feeling. He saw someone approaching him, luckily, he could tell who it was.

"Hey, you good?" Firey was a bit surprised that Coiny was actually asking about his well being, but he didn't question it.

"Uhhhhh..yeahhh.." Coiny could tell this was a bullfaced lie and just looked at Firey with an unimpressed look.

"Dude, I told you not to drink too much. Look what you've done! You're shitfaced drunk." Firey crossed his arms.

"Nooo I'm notttt!" He could tell a few of his words were slurring, but he wanted to deny the fact anyways.

"Ugh..you need to control yourself." Coiny pinched the space between his eyes, similarly to how a human would pinch the bridge of their nose in disappointment.

"I am not drunkkk.."

"What's the time?" Coiny pointed to the clock on the wall.

Firey squinted at the clock for a few moments before saying, "I..am not..fucking..drunk.."

Coiny sat there dumbfounded for a few seconds before bursting out into laughter.

"Dude, are you joking?!" Coiny continued to laugh at Firey.

"Shhuttt upp!" Firey seemed embarrassed by Coiny's outburst. Just then, they heard music start to play over the speakers, indicating that karaoke had begun.

"Oh, great." Coiny didn't seem too excited about the karaoke, "I tried to convince her not to do karaoke, but of course, she didn't listen." Firey could tell Coiny was talking about Pin.

"I donn'tt see the appeaaalll of karoke.." Firey realized his mispronounciation of "karaoke.", "Ka..kara..karie..what the fuuccckkk?" Coiny laughed at this.

"Dude, we need to get you to stop drinking any type of alcohol at this point."

"Nooooo..!" Firey leaned on Coiny's shoulder in disappointment. Coiny seemed surprised by the sudden weight, feeling his face flush slightly. He didn't push him off surprising, probably because he felt pity for him in his current state. (Begging none of the original readers noticed the typo of me typing "Firey" instead of "Coiny".)

Time passed seemingly quick as the two watched more and more people walk up onto the stage and walk back off. Eventually, Pin walked back onto the stage.

"I will be doing the last karaoke performance! Uhh..hehe.." She chuckled nervously and Coiny noticed her cheeks turning a bit of a pink hue, "I'm dedicating this song to uhh..Leafy." She turned to look at Leafy, who was backstage. Leafy looked up at her, a bit surprised, but then smiled sweetly. Pin took a breath and Coiny heard the first few notes of the song, sounding like an acoustic guitar.

"dun dundun dun dun dundunnnn dun dundun dun dun."

Coiny knew exactly what was coming next a bit of a worried expression filled his face. Firey perked his head up after hearing the strings.

"Is that Laufffeyy..?" Coiny was a bit surprised Firey knew the song but nodded his head anyways.

"Yeah.."

Leafy listened intently to Pin's song, taking in the lyrics quietly. She seemed a bit shocked that Pin had the courage to do this in front of so many people. After a bit of time, the song finished, Pin had closed her eyes through most of the performance, so she opened them once she was done singing. Leafy's face was a bit flushed, her eyes a bit sparkly. She chuckled slightly before running up and giving Pin a giant hug. Pin was surprised, her face flushing a bright pink, but she chuckled as well.

"That was amazing! You have such a pretty voice! And..that song was for me?" Leafy held onto Pin's hands softly.

"Yeah, heheh..I didn't exactly know how to tell you.." A nervous smile planted itself on Pin's face, "Do you..feel the same..?"

Leafy sat there in silence for a few moments before chuckling, "Are you kidding? Of course I do!" She pulled Pin in for another hug. Pin smiled brightly at the response.

Coiny and Firey didn't seem impressed by the PDA, Coiny groaning loudly.

"I'm happy for her, but that was a bit much.."

"Ughhh..I wanna head home..." Firey's words were still slurred.

"How did you get here?"

"Carrr.."

"Dude, are you insane?! You are too drunk to drive."

"I knowwww.."

Coiny sighed, feeling some sort of warm, yet frustrated feeling.

"I'll drive you to my house. You can stay with me, but just for the night."

Firey seemed a bit surprised by this but smiled, "Realllllyyyy..?"

"Yes..Come on.."

Firey felt Coiny grab his hand and drag him along, heading outside of Pin's house and getting in his car.
