Work Text:
Everyone rarely gathers to hang out in one spot, and this was one of those times.
We were staying at my house. Of course we were, because why would anybody else have an empty house that everyone could trash? Nearly everyone had made themselves right at home, it annoyed me.Thanks to their team efforts, the fridge was nearly empty(mostly thanks to Mera) and the newly cleaned living room was now dirty again(mostly thanks to Nendou).
Then they decided we should play spin the bottle. Horrible idea, in general. Obviously, I declined the invitation, but then these absolute idiots convinced me to join anyway. Good grief. “How did this happen, Saiki?” You might wonder. Simple answer; coffee jelly. They would buy me coffee jelly if I participated. I could control the bottle to never land on me anyway, it’s a win-win. They have me participate, I get coffee jelly. Simple as that.
Yumehara was the one who suggested it, and who wanted to explain the rules, a surprise to absolutely no one. Teruhashi made it seem like she agreed because she’s a good friend, but she in reality agreed because she wanted to kiss me. No thank you. She may have the power of god on her side, but I have the power of psychokinesis on my side. And like a hundred other powers.
The rules were that you spin the bottle twice, and the two people it landed on have to kiss.
And so we began.
The first few rounds were pretty normal, at least what’s considered normal for this game, I guess. Kuboyasu and Kaidou were one pair, which Kaidou claimed was “the work of Dark Reunion”. Hairo and Mera were another, Hairo took it as a challenge, and Mera accidentally bit him.
The bottle was spun once again. As it spun, I calculated where it would land. I found out it was going to land on me, I don’t know if I should consider it lucky or unlucky. I knew that if I timed it correctly, I could make it land on Kuboyasu, to the right of me, instead of me. I just had to focus on it and wait for the exact moment it-
Out of Nendou’s phone came a loud and unexpected sound, he was playing Clash of Clans.
I nearly flew away, literally speaking.
“Are you seriously playing Clash of Clans right now, Nendou?!” Kaidou had flown up on the couch, and climbed down. Nendou didn’t even react.
I shook off the sudden jumpscare and tried to focus on the bottle. It was slowing down, and I prepared to pause it. Then something strange happened. As it spun around for the last time, heading towards me, I subtly slowed it down, just enough for it to land on Kuboyasu, and not me. After I slowed it down, I let it naturally stop. As expected, it reached Kuboyasu.. but kept going. And landed on me. The others let out a wave of “oooh” at it. Except Nendou, who was getting absolutely destroyed in Clash of Clans. I was stunned. I was 100% sure I had calculated everything correctly. The realization hit me. I had f ked up.
You see, it wasn’t my calculations that were off, they were in fact perfect. At least at the first part of the spin. At Nendou’s Clash of Clans jumpscare, I must’ve used psychokinesis accidentally on the bottle, just enough to speed it up for it to land on Kaidou, to my left. But I had unknowingly slowed it down, making it stop between Kuboyasu and Kaido; where I was.
Good grief, what was I supposed to do now? Is it too late to decline the invitation? I really had no interest in kissing anyone, I was just here for the coffee jelly. I didn’t know who I would pick, my options were horrible. Preferably someone who wouldn’t damage my reputation, wouldn’t get me beat up, stalked or harassed, and that wouldn’t develop unnecessary feelings for me. So, pretty much none of them. All my options were bad, worse, and worst
I snapped back to reality, and to my horror, the bottle had already been spun, and was now skidding to a stop. I had no time to calculate anything, nor make the horrible decision on who would get the honor to ruin my day.
The bottle stopped.
And it landed on..
Toritsuka.
Absolutely not. No way in hell am I kissing a pathetic pervert like him. Though, I would’ve probably thought the same about the others.
The others had… mixed reactions. Teruhashi apparently knew more torture methods than I expected from a perfect pretty girl. Hairo was skeptical, for once. Kaidou believed this was the doing of Dark Reunion. Yumehara, surprisingly, was excited. Actually, not that surprising. Mikoto was grumpy, since it almost landed on her.
Toritsuka himself was… Good grief, is he blushing? I really wish I had my telepathy canceller ring. He smiled at me sheepishly. I almost thought he had nudged the bottle to land on him.
I promptly shook my head at the expecting faces of the others.
“No.” I said telepathically.
“You want to back out? Come on, don’t give up! Give it everything you’ve got!” Asked Hairo, still retaining his enthusiasm.
“He can do that?” Questioned Toritsuka. Everyone looked at Yumehara, who had been busy staring at Kaidou.
“Well, yeah!” She said. I breathed a sigh of relief. Toritsuka looked disappointed, which… I wasn’t sure how to feel about.
“But both have to agree to cancel, then they leave the game, otherwise they stay.” Yumehara continued. Toritsuka raised his eyebrows. I glared at him. I didn’t need telepathy to convey the meaning. But Toritsuka, being the way he is, decided to not cancel just to spite me.
“I vote to not cancel. I think I want to play more.” Toritsuka said. I must’ve been glaring harder than I thought, because he turned away from me. He voted to stay, which meant I wasn’t getting out. That little shit.
“Okay, you’re both staying in then. But, you know, that means you still have to kiss.” Yumehara smirked. This was getting really irritating. I could definitely find a way to escape, maybe I could create a distraction, maybe I could convince-
I didn’t get a chance to develop my escape plan, before Toritsuka dove forward and kissed me. He backed up to his original spot after.
No matter what anyone might tell you, I did not blush. I truly did not. Don’t believe their lies, they’re all idiots afterall.
After that very humiliating moment(where I did in no way blush. Believe me, I was terrified. And disgusted. And embarrassed. Did I mention I didn’t blush?) I just wanted to move on, and have everyone forget about that, act like it never happened.
I doubt it’d actually happen.
They would probably remember it. Although they're idiots, but they do have good memory.
Toritsuka would definitely not forget it.
And neither would I.
