Our Journey (the Fourth Book in the Her Weakness series)

Chapter 108

Lexa's POV

Everyone joins us in the living room, and I watch with amusement as Jasper and Monty flit around and hand everyone their alcoholic beverage of choice. By now, they know our favorites and do not bother asking what people want. So far, they have not messed up once. Each time they get it right, they grin at the pleasantly surprised looks on their friends' faces.  I am tempted to jokingly say that they did not give me what I had wanted, but I am too surprised by the taste of it to do that.

Usually, Monty and Jasper make their drinks incredibly strong but just barely keep it on a tolerable level. This drink has a taste other than strong alcohol, and it is actually surprisingly good.

"Hey guys, you know what we should do?" Raven asks with a grin that automatically makes me nervous.

"Toast to Clarke and Lexa getting hitched?" Octavia suggests.

"No. Well yes, but that's not what I was going to say. Drinking games," she sings the last two words, wiggling her eyebrows.

"They are games where you drink alcohol. It is a Skaikru thing," I explain to Anya and Luna.

"Skaikru needs excuses to drink. No wonder they cannot hold their alcohol," Anya snorts.

"Hey, remember all the people passed out on the ground after Clarke and Lexa's wedding? They were mostly Grounders," Jasper points out.

"Because they did not expect a Skaikru kid to make strong alcohol."

"Okay!" Clarke holds her arms out. "This is friend time, not fighting time! Is everyone okay with drinking games? Because if not, we can either do something else, or you could drink something non-alcoholic." Everyone nods or shrugs. "Alright Rae, what game do you have in mind?"

"Never have I ever, of course." Raven says like it should be obvious.

"Alright," Clarke nods like she knows this game. "The premise of this game is pretty simple. Someone will say 'never have I ever' and then say something they haven't done. If you have done it, you have to drink. If you haven't, you don't. If answering something truthfully makes you uncomfortable, then that's fine! Whoever runs out of their drink last wins." We nod but I do not think we completely understand this game. "We can do a practice round. Everyone hold up two fingers. Octavia?"

"Never have I ever punched someone in the face." The Skaikru people put a finger down, including Octavia.

"She was technically supposed to say something she hasn't done, but you don't have to. If you have punched someone in the face, put a finger down." Now everyone has put a finger down. I admit, I am surprised that Monty has punched someone in the face. "In the game, that would mean you drink."

I nod, starting to understand it. I think Anya, Luna, and Lincoln are getting it as well.

"Never have I ever blown up a bridge," Monty says.

"Oh screw you Monty, you're just jealous." Raven sticks out her tongue at him and puts her finger down. "Okay. You guys understand it?" We nod. "Good. Let's drink, bitchachos!"

"Wait. Who's going first?" Octavia asks.

"You can go," I say. "We can go around so that Raven is last since she started the practice round."

"Hey!"

"Works for me." Octavia says, ignoring how Raven pinches her arm. "Okay. Never have I ever... Thought that twenty candles in a room is a small amount."

"It is," I murmur.

I take a sip from my drink as Clarke and I's friends laugh. Clarke pats my thigh and kisses my cheek.

"Is it okay for the questions to be directed specifically for someone?" Anya asks.

Clarke shrugs. "Yeah."

Anya smirks. "Good. Hmm..." She squints at me and I fight the urge to shift uneasily. She is going to try to get me as well. "Never have I ever... stared at Clarke's chest for an indecent amount of time."

I put my head in my hands and sigh for a moment before drinking. I nearly spit it out when I see that both Raven and Octavia are drinking too.

I can tell the moment Clarke notices because I can feel her tense up for a moment before she bursts out laughing.

"Dude..." Jasper whispers, staring at Octavia and Raven wide-eyed.

"Do you know how many times I've walked in on them? Once you see the girls free, it's hard not to stare."

My cheeks gets redder and I rest my head against Clarke's as she continues to laugh.

"The girls?" Luna murmurs, looking confused. I almost want to give her a pitying look for asking such a question. Raven reaches out with both her hands and then makes grabbing motions in the air. My sister gets it rather quickly and sighs, shaking her head. "I regret asking."

"It's your turn, too." Octavia reminds her.

"Very well. Never have I ever... Fallen from the sky."

The Skaikru people grumble and drink while I smile at my sister.

Clarke looks at me and I realize it is my turn. "Never have I ever fallen asleep on the back of a horse."

Octavia flips me off good-naturedly and takes a sip, as does Anya.

"Um. Never have I ever purposefully blown something up," Clarke says.

Monty drinks, as does Raven (to no one's surprise).

"Monty? When did you blow something up?" Jasper asks.

"Um. Remember when we made that batch that was really bad? Like even for our standards?"

"Yeah, it was like drinking rocket fuel," Jasper grimaces.

"Mm hmm. So I used it as rocket fuel for a little rocket."

"Were you the one that knocked Kane's window out?" Jasper gapes when Monty nods. He holds up his hand and Monty high fives him.

"I said exploded," Clarke reminds them.

"Yeah, it went through his window and BANG!" He shouts, making us all jump. "We were in lockdown for like three hours after that because we thought we were under attack. That's hardcore, man." They high five again.

It's seven at night and I'm only just finishing this... Now I'm going to play a mod for Skyrim once it finishes downloading, and then I'm probably going to read Fanfiction and sleep... Let me know if you guys think of good never have I ever questions ;) Thank you all for reading and for your amazing comments! Stay awesome!
