Servamp: Never Have I Ever

Round 12

Sorry for the late update...I've been real busy lately.

Two days later at Mahiru's...

Kuro: *on phone* I don't think he'll mind but I'll ask anyway. *to Mahiru* Kisama chan and the others want to come over. Is that okay?
Mahiru: Of course it is 😁!!
Kuro: *on phone* He said it's fine. Just make sure you guys show up in about thirty minutes. Jaa ne (See ya)...

Kuro hangs up and places his cell phone on the table while Mahiru starts walking towards the kitchen.

Mahiru: Well, I better make some snacks for everyone.

Thirty minutes later...

Misono: *looks around* It's been so long since we last came here. Glad to see that nothing's really changed.
Tetsu: It sure brings back lots of memories.
Hyde: Yeah. *to Mahiru* Remember the time we threw you a surprise birthday party and nii san popped out of the cake?

Mahiru starts laughing like crazy.

Mahiru: How could I forget 😂😂? I still have the picture on my phone:

Kuro: *embarassed* I told you to delete that 😶!! I still can't believe I let Hyde and Tsubaki talk me into doing that....
Sakuya: Alright, enough reminiscing.

Sakuya reaches for his bag and pulls out a large half-filled vodka bottle and a bag of plastic cups.

Sakuya: It's Never Have I Ever time!!
Kuro: Was that seriously the only reason why you guys came over?
Licht: Of course not. We didn't even know he had that with him.
Mahiru: By the way, where's Mari?
Jeje: She's getting her eve right now.
Mahiru: Mari has an eve now?! That's awesome!!
Lily: We don't know what he or she looks like though...
Misono: I guess we'll wait for the two of them before we start.
Sakuya: *whining* I don't like waiting though!!

Five minutes later....

Sakuya: *whining* How much longer?
Mahiru+Misono: So annoying 😡!!
Kuro: Tsubaki, could you take this kid home and then come back with the REAL Sakuya?
Tsubaki: I've already tried to multiple times. I always end up with a kid that's worse than the last time.
Licht: Can I kick him out the window?
Tsubaki: I've tried that too....
Tetsu: What haven't you tried?
Tsubaki: Taping his mouth shut.
Mikuni: Well, try it now!!

"Knock knock!!"

Kuro: Sounds like they're here.
Hyde: Finally!!

Kuro walks over to the door and opens it. Mari and another familiar face were standing in front of him.

Kuro: Saori?!
Saori: Yo.
Mari: Nii san, you know her?
Saori: We met at the arcade that I work at.
Mari: I see.
Kuro: Hold up, since when did you guys meet?
Saori: Two days ago. It was right after I told a friend of yours that you were at your ex's place.

Licht and Hyde noticed that Mahiru looked a bit uncomfortable when Saori said those words but chose to remain silent.

Kuro: Do you know his name?
Saori: No, but he looked a lot like your ex though.
Kuro: *annoyed* Could you please stop calling Mahiru that?
Saori: Why? He's not here, is he?
Kuro: *pissed* Of course he is!! This is HIS apartment!!
Saori: *to Mari* I'm leaving.
Mari: Already? You haven't met everyone yet.
Saori: And I don't want to. I especially don't want to talk to the son of a bitch that hurt Kuro. Peace out, losers!!

As soon as Saori leaves, Sakuya starts pouring vodka in thirteen cups.

Mari: I'm really sorry about this, you guys.
Mahiru: It's fine. Besides, me and Kuro got back together so I'm not really bothered by what she said.
Misono: You guys are dating again? Congratulations!!!
Hyde+Licht: We knew already.
Kuro: Why am I not surprised?
Tetsu: *to Mahiru* I know that I asked you this before, but why did you cheat on Kuro?
Sakuya: I...kind of want to know too.
Mahiru: Can we just talk about this later? After this round?
Tetsu: Sure.
Mikuni: I'll read the statement this time. Um, it says: Never have I ever...been bullied.

Everyone watches in shock when Mahiru picks up his cup and chugs down the vodka.

Licht: You've been bullied, Mahiru? Since when?
Mahiru: That's not important.
Licht: The hell it's not!!
Mahiru: *mumbles* Two years.
Tetsu+Misono: TWO YEARS?!
Sakuya: Why didn't you tell us?!
Mahiru: I didn't want to get you guys involved.
Misono: But, we're your FRIENDS....You could've at least talked to us.
Lily: Why were you being bullied anyway?

Awkward silence fills the room.

Mahiru: I was bullied because I was...gay.
Sakuya: Are you serious?!
Tetsu: Did any of your teachers try to do anything about it?
Mahiru: No, they just laughed and started failing me.
Tetsu: What about the principal?
Mahiru: *shakes his head* He said if I remained in such an "impure" relationship, I would be expelled.

Hyde slams his fists on the table.

Hyde: That's complete bullshit!!
Kuro: Was that on the same day that you kissed Sayuri?
Mahiru: *looks away* Maybe...
Kuro: And I yelled at you without even knowing the reason why you did... Mahi, I'm so sorry.
Mahiru: No, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have hurt you the way I did. I'm such a terrible person.
Licht: That's not true.
Tsubaki: He's right. You're like the nicest person in the world!! Wow, never thought I'd say that....

Kuro notices that Mahiru starts shaking and he pulls him into a hug.

Mahiru: *tears falling* Kuro, I don't have to hold it in anymore, do I?
Kuro: No... Cry as much as you need to.
