Nothing Can Break Us(Javid+Sprace)

~7~ Birthday Boys

Davey

I stand outside of a big two story house. It's Albert and Elmer's birthday so they invited everyone over for a party and sleepover. I go up the steps an start to raise my fist to knock at the door. Before my fist hits the wood it flies open.

"Hey Davey! Glad you could make it!" Albert says to me.

"Hey Albe, Happy birthday. How'd you know I was outside?"

"Mom just installed a ring door bell." He gestures to it. "I've been watching it."

I laugh. He gestures for me to come inside. We walk from the entry way to the living room. There is a big couch in front of a big TV. A coffee table is pushed to the side, probably to make room on the floor where a couple of Newsies are sitting.

The living room is connected to a large kitchen. The counter and island had a variety of food and drinks all over them. When the Newsies spot me they all wave. I put my bag by a wall and sit down next to Race on the couch.

"Heya Davey."

"Hi Race, what's happening."

"Well were trying to decide on a movie for later, but ultimately it's up to Albert and Elmer."

I nod and look around. Finch put on Specs glasses and is blindly walking around the room. Romeo, Boots and Mush are playing go fish, Jack, Crutchie, and Blink are in a heated discussion about something, Smalls and Kath are in the kitchen making drinks, and the rest of the Newsies are doing various things.

I notice that Race and Spot are sitting quite closely together. I've been suspecting that something is going on between them, they aren't as sneaky as they think they are. They don't seem to want to talk about it though. When Spot sees me looking at them he narrows his eyes at me. I smile back at him knowingly which makes him roll his eyes.

I get up and join Kath and Smalls in the kitchen.

"Hey Davey." Kath says when she sees me. "Where's Sarah?"

"She has to work early in the morning, so she couldn't make it." Kath nods while frowning. I grab a cup and start to look at the drinks. There is soda and punch. I look back up at Kath while pointing at the punch. "Does this have alcohol in it?" I ask.

"Yeah, but it's not too much." I nod and start to put some in my cup. I might be weak and nerdy but I'm not a prude. "Unless you're like Jack." Kath continues. "Then you'll be drunk by the end of the night. She and Smalls laugh.

I look over at Jack who has a cup of punch in his hand. His cheeks are flushed a little bit, and I can tell he's a couple of drinks in.

"He doesn't drink much" Smalls explains. "But when he does, he goes all out." I nod. The girls and I chat for a while.

"We should play a game." I hear Boots say from the living room.

"How about truth or dare?" Romeo suggests.

"No that's too basic. Plus we don't want the readers to get any Javid content yet." Mush says. We all nod in agreement. (AN: *evil laughter* ;))

"How about Never Have I Ever?" Sniper says.

"That's actually not a bad idea." Skittery replies giving Sniper a fist bump.

Everyone agrees that we should play. We all sit in a circle in the middle of the floor. I'm next to Kath and Skittery.

Race claps his hands together. "Now some ground rules. If something is super personal, you don't have to answer it. We don't want anybody to be too uncomfortable." We all nod in agreement. I suspect this rule was specifically made for Spot.
