No'ones POV

Clink. Clink.

Tea Knight pulled out a flat rectangular case, dark brown leather and course in texture. The contents inside clunk with each movement, clinking and indicating the delicate contents inside. The two men dressed in comfortable robes sat in a dimly lit room. The majority of the light spilling from the drawn curtains of the tall windows, but as the sky outside grew dimmer, the glow of the lanters hanging around the room became more apparent. White snow piled outside, appearing biting and icy, opposite to the practical yet cozy room. 

They sat across from each other on cushions, a polished square table between them with a black checkered design, made specially for chess games. Beneath was an open shelf, where the normal wooden chess pieces were arranged neatly, but Tea Knight had no plans of using them.

"What's this?" Dark Cacoa mused as he watched Tea Knight place the case on top of the table, popping open the metal locks. The lid flips open to reveal a neat line of empty shot glasses of two separate shades and multiple different designs.

"Chess pieces," Tea Knight replied, assembling them onto the board. "I bought them on a recent trip to the republic."

Dark Cacoa picked one piece up, examining the tainted glass with a castle design, "Hm, it's fairly well made."

He places it back down, turning to the knight, "The republic, you say? I didn't take you for the type to vacation at such a sunny and bustling place."

"What, do you think I'm too old for it?" Tea Knight chuckles, "Haha, I'm joking. It was a quick stop on my way back from beast-yeast. My back isn't the way it used to be, so I got myself a room at an Inn for the night after looking around for a bit."

"Good, I was going to feel offended if you didn't invite me to a vacation. Weekend getaway from stress? I need it," Dark Cacoa grinned, helping place the no-design, clear shot glasses onto the pawn places.

Tea Knight raised an eyebrow as he pulled out a bottle of vodka, unopened. "Would you have yes if I invited you to a vacation to the Republic?"

A moment of silence, except for the sound of the drink being opened, before Dark Cacoa snorted, barking a laugh. "God no. I hate that place. I'd probably have more stress going there."

Tea Knight nodded in acknowledgement, pouring the clear liquid into all the shot glasses but the pawns, which were clear glasses with no design. For those, he poured butter beer from his metal flask. (Yes, this is a reference). 

When all the shot glasses were full and the whiskey bottle empty and tucked away, he explained, "Whenever you take your opponent's piece that is not a pawn, the opponent takes a shot. If it's a normal pawn, you can take the shot of butterbeer."

"Isn't it usually the other way around?"

"Being drunk is a disadvantage in a chess game."

Dark Cacoa shrugged, "Fine by me. And the prize for capturing the king?"

"Whoever wins gets to be top," Tea Knight ruled.

He was a lightweight, so personally, he'd prefer the rules stating the other person drinks. He quite disliked being a lightweight. That's why he avoided drinking altogether. This was a special occasion. They hadn't seen each other in a month, much too long ago. With the annual winter festival and the recent snowstorm that hit the already difficult terrains used for farmlands, Dark Cacoa hadn't had a moment to spare to meet with his lover.

Better end this game before I get drunk, though, Dark Cacoa grumbled to himself.

Tea Knight shut his eyes as Dark Cacoa retrieved two pieces of each colour from the wooden versions below. He clasped them in his palms and flipped his hands over so the back of his hand was up. He instructed Tea Knight to open his eyes, watching as he tapped his right hand. Dark Cacoa flipped his hand over. White.

The game began, and their boisterous chatter fell into heavy silence except for the clink as the chess pieces, or well, the shot glasses, moved places or were captured and drunk. Focused on out-strategizing and outsmarting each other, two old friends and recent lovers played until the sun was gone. While Tea Knight could handle several shots without feeling any effect, Dark Cacoa was also focused on not getting drunk.

Which worked until around forty minutes later. With three shots bubbling in Dark Cacao's stomach, his brain slowly grew more fuzzy and sloshed. The light tingle and quick burst of adrenaline he felt was no longer fresh. His euphoric determination to win the battle transitioned to brain barrages and wandering thought trains. Like how his mind was wandering to delicious thoughts of seeing Tea Knight's toned body under his clothes...

...and that led to only more mistakes. Little stumbles. Not noticing Tea Knight's defending pieces before his minor piece was captured. An exchange they could've avoided.

Worse? Tea Knight was only just beginning to get tipsy, meaning he was at the height of adrenaline and was making brilliant moves.

The outcome was obvious. With mistakes after another and shots drowned one after the next- each interval shorter than the next- the game ended with Dark Cocoa's swift defeat within half an hour. Dark Cacoa wanted to attempt to gain an alcohol tolerance while simultaneously beating his lover in the game they loved and were equally skilled at, but...

...the outcome was sealed the moment alcohol was brought in.
