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

Chapter 110

Clarke's POV

Lexa tries to pull back so that it's a short kiss, but I lean forward and capture her lips in mine once more. Lexa wraps her arms around me to hold me close as we continue to kiss softly. I'm only snapped out of it when something soft hits the side of my head.

I look over to see Raven with her arm still raised, looking unapologetic. She puts her arm down and I look near us to see what she threw at me, unsurprised when I see a stray pillow.

"Stop being so gay, Clexa. We're trying to figure out what we want to do next," Raven says.

I think for a moment. "I'm fine with Truth or Dare-"

"Yes!" Raven pumps her fist in the air.

"If!" I hold up a finger to stop any further celebration. "If we can have veto power. So if a dare is too... Raven, or if a truth is too personal, then we can just skip that person's turn. Does that work?"

Everyone else nods and Raven sighs. "Fine. That's less fun, but I get it."

"What is this game? Is it just asking someone a question and they have to answer or telling them to do something?" Anya asks.

"Kind of. The person who's going to get the question or dare chooses which they prefer, but we usually play the version where you can't choose the same thing more than three times in a row." I explain. "But what we usually do is go around in a circle and people choose who they want to give a dare or question to. The same person can't be picked twice in a row. Or, we could have go around and have people say which they would prefer, truth or dare, and have people volunteer to give them a truth or dare. The person can choose who gives the truth or dare to them."

"I think the volunteer option would be better," Octavia says.

"Alright, that works. Anyone disagree?"  I ask but no one does.

"Should we raise our hands like we're back in school?" Raven jokes.

"Yeah." I say, looking her right in the eyes so she knows I'm serious. "Do you have a better idea?"

"Um. No?"

"Then that's what we're going to do. Who wants to go first?" I ask.

"I will," Raven volunteers. "I'll go easy the first round... Truth."

After a couple moments while everyone thinks, Octavia raises her hand. Raven points at her.

"What was the most satisfying thing you ever blew up?"

"Easy." Raven nods to herself. "Nia's guards. It was so satisfying to see them go boom."

Octavia nods and high fives her.

"To be honest, I was concerned about you in that battle," I admit. "You were laughing manically and shooting people with your grenade launcher."

"Octaven," Raven sighs lovingly. "I need to find something to blow up, she hasn't been used in a while."

Octavia pats Raven's shoulder, shaking her head slightly. "We can find something to blow up another day, babe. But remember, no more-"

"Tinkering with it when I'm drunk," Raven cuts her off. She sighs. "I know, I know. It was only a tiny explosion!"

"Tiny? You nearly blew a new clearing in the forest! Why you were working on it in the woods while you were drunk is beyond me..."

I clear my throat to snap them out of their bubble. "So which way do we want to go?"

"We can go towards me," Octavia says.

Everyone nods in agreement. To be honest, I think Monty and Jasper are just happy to not be next. Especially with Raven here to give them dares if they choose her.

"What do you choose?" Raven asks.

"Oh! Um, dare." A couple hands go up but unsurprisingly she chooses her girlfriend.

"Hell yeah. Okay babe, I dare you to drink a shot that I make."

"As long as you don't kill me, I won't veto it."

Raven places one hand over her heart and her other in the air. "I swear on Octaven it won't be deadly. Just really strong." She cackles and runs off to the kitchen.

"Oh Gods, what have I agreed to?" Octavia sighs.

I reach over and pat her arm sympathetically. It takes Raven an alarmingly long amount of time. It's really just a few minutes, but for her just making drinks that's long enough for us to all exchange worried looks.

Raven reappears with a surprisingly big shot glass that I didn't even know that we had. She pulls out a lighter and I sigh. She lights the too of it and hands it to her wide-eyed girlfriend.

"Is this even safe to drink?" Octavia asks.

"Probably."

Raven shrugs, still grinning, but I know she wouldn't actually do anything that would put her girlfriend in danger. I bet she made a tinier one for herself in the kitchen earlier and took it to make sure it wouldn't hurt Octavia.

"If I die, I'm going to turn into a ghost and haunt your ass," Octavia threatens.

"I wouldn't expect anything less," Raven says fondly.

Octavia takes a deep breath, eyeing the shot warily. She drinks it down quickly and lets out a harsh breath afterwards, shaking her head like she's trying to get the taste out of her mouth. Her nose is screwed up in disgust and she sticks out her tongue.

"Bleh."

"That wasn't too bad, was it?" Raven asks, grinning.

"I thought of a name for it," Octavia says, slurring her words slightly. "Kiss of Death. Because it taste like *hiccup* crap."

"You're such a lightweight." Raven chuckles.

"Well, you're pretty."

"Is she okay to continue? Or should we call it a night?" I ask worriedly.

"She's fine, she'll sober up a little soon." Raven says.

I nod hesitantly. "Okay."

"I'll tell you if she's not fine. I know the signs by now."

Anya looks up when we all look at her to continue the game.

I'll just abruptly cut it off there haha. I'm about to go meet with my 'Queer Mentor' and I emailed her bc I don't know where the place is that we're meeting (I can use google maps but I would prefer to walk with her so I don't get lost or anything) but she hasn't responded so I'm going to leave and head there soon, and it's guaranteed that I'll be anxious the entire time I'm walking... Whoo! Thank you all for reading and for your amazing comments! Stay awesome!
