"Okay, okay, okay!" Alex laughs, waving his hand around. They've been passing the large bottle of clear vodka around and drinking it down with iced tea, wincing and laughing and now they're all a bit tipsy, sat in a circle. Alex is being giggly and loud now that he's had some alcohol in him, and he quiets down their group. "Okay." He says again, putting a serious expression on his face. "Let's play never have I ever?"

"Yes!" Shouts Alexa, bouncing up from her slumped position, looking wildly excited at the prospect. Lynn scoots in closer to her, pushing a hand back through her voluminous brown hair, and their circle tightens up as everyone leans in closer to each other.

"Fingers down?" Brendon asks, taking a swig of iced tea from the bottle that he's sharing with Ryan. Jack and Alex are makeout buddies and Lynn and Alexa have obviously gotten up close and personal so the last pair standing ends up being Ryan and Brendon who haven't made out before and aren't in a relationship and everyone nods at Brendon's question except for Ryan, who's just staring at him in the faint lighting that they're sat in.

Lovesick, apparently.

"I'll start." Alex says, and looks around at them all. "Never have I ever... streaked." Everyone has ten fingers held up, and curious eyes look around when no one puts their fingers down. Alex rolls his eyes and looks over at Jack.

"Never have I ever had sex. Wait! I have! Is never have I ever-" Jack says, and Alexa says-

"It's okay if you have done it." Alright then. Everyone looks around and then both Jack and Alex lower their fingers and Lynn and Alexa whisper quietly together before they too put fingers down. Ryan isn't embarrassed about being a virgin because it's blatantly obvious that he hasn't been fucked. Brendon, however, is blushing and is trying to conceal an awkward smile by downing more vodka.

"I'm mormon, okay? Gotta wait till marriage."

"You're saying that with a mouth full of alcohol." Lynn points out quietly, and Brendon thinks about that before he looks down at the bottle of Absolut in his hand.

"I'm not supposed to drink iced tea either." He giggles, and then says- "Never have I ever broken the law." Everyone puts a finger down, even Ryan. He's definitely been out on the streets after curfew, and has technically shoplifted. Brendon looks curiously at Ryan, who grimaces as he swallows a swig of the vodka. His chest is beginning to feel lighter despite how it burns at the same time and he gives Brendon his best idea of a mysterious smile.

"Unexplainable deeds." Ryan says, and everyone nods like they understand. Laws don't really apply to high schoolers, anyways. "Never have I ever kissed anyone." Everyone's fingers go down except for Ryan, and their faces are all faintly upset.

"That's not fair." Brendon says warmly. "Even I've been kissed. Here." He leans in towards Ryan and tilts his chin up fondly. Ryan can faintly hear Alexa going "oooh" in the background but all he can think about is how Brendon is touching his face, how Brendon's eyes are meeting his, and how Brendon Urie has suddenly just kissed him on the lips. Brendon leans back with a flush in his cheeks and an odd brightness in his eyes while Ryan sits and wonders if he's just pissed himself.

"So the lesbians didn't have to do it." Brendon defends himself, and Ryan stares at him with hot cheeks.

"I'm, uh, gay."
