Never Have I Ever: The Meme
HOW TO PLAY:
1. Everyone is at a big party. I don't know how we fit this many people into one room either, but bear with me!
2. Post a comment with a subject that finishes the sentence "never have I ever".
3. If you see something your character has done, reply to them by taking a shot! If they've done it many times, have them take many shots or down an entire bottle. Shots do not need to be alcohol, especially not for underage characters.
4. All characters must be honest. It's more fun that way.
5. Bother other people. Demand details. Don't wreck the house, please, and post warnings if things get 18+.

Aren't you someone who texts me sulking whenever Shizu-chan stays too long at the gym?
[It's the pot calling the kettle black in Mafuyu's opinion.]
no subject
A-anyway, SHUT UP- that's not the same! I'm not whipped like your idiot is!
The way he makes those doofy smiling faces towards you when you're not looking is totally weird and gross! I wouldn't be caught dead being so creepily obvious!
no subject
And I'd say I'll take a picture of your face whenever Shizu-chan isn't looking at you except he's literally never not looking at you.
no subject
N-no way.... How come I... never noticed that....?
no subject
Could it be because you're stupid?
no subject
[Well, that little truce of theirs didn't last long.]
Anyway, it's not my fault! Shizu's not easy to read, you know?? I mean, I thought I knew him pretty well, but then-- he was keeping a secret like that this whole time... and....
[...And it kind of makes Hiiragi wonder if there's possibly even more that Shizusumi has been keeping inside, locked up all to himself...
Not that he wants to say so out loud.
Hiiragi pauses before speaking again, quickly moving on.] Anyway, do you wanna learn how to swim or not??
I could just sneak you in to use the school's pool too if the beach is no good.
no subject
The fact that you think it was a secret at all just confirms your stupidity.
[Because Shizu has been staring at Hiiragi for literal years. Actually Mafuyu had been almost considering that Hiiragi might not have actually had feelings for Shizu at all since he was so oblivious but no, it was just Hiiragi's general blindness when it comes to Shizu.]
...The beach is fine. Then at least we won't be in trouble if someone sees us.
no subject
[Wait, so Shizu's feelings really WERE that obvious? Or is Mafuyu just messing with him??] W-well, don't blame me just because I don't have eyes on the back of my head! Even if I did, I wouldn't assume something like that just because someone's staring at me!
Also- if it was supposedly such a non-secret, then why didn't anyone tell me sooner?!? [That's the one thing Hiiragi can't figure out! Sure, Mafuyu eventually started dropping hints, starting with their day at the festival, but what about before then? And now that he thinks about it- what's Shizu's excuse? Was he afraid that Hiiragi would reject him harshly or something? But Shizu should know better than that....]
Haa..... fine. If you wanna be safe about it, I'll try to pick a day when it's supposed to be a little warmer out.
no subject
[As for Shizu-chan, who knows why he didn't just tell Hiiragi himself that he liked him. In Mafuyu's opinion they're both idiots for keeping such strong feelings locked up inside but it's not like he can force them to talk to each other.]
Ah-
I don't have a swimsuit.
[That'd be pretty necessary, right?]
no subject
[-Which Hiiragi knows is in part thanks to Mafuyu's persistent meddling... But he just can't bring himself to express his gratitude in actual words, so instead he just reaches out and pinches one of Mafuyu's cheeks between his fingers.]
Guess everything still turned out exactly like you planned somehow, huh? You ass. [Hiiragi honestly wouldn't be surprised if Mafuyu had a part in talking to Shizu, too.]
Ah... that's right. [A pause.] In that case, let's go shopping first.
no subject
...You are?
[Did Shizu finally say something?? Good for him! Maybe their talk actually managed to soothe some of his fears about Hiiragi and Yuki. In that case, Mafuyu's glad they talked, even if it turned out to be a hard conversation to have.
He gives Hiiragi a fond shove and a smile.]
Took you long enough. Poor Shizu-chan, now he's stuck with you for life. Guess you'd better make it up to him by buying a cute swimsuit too.
no subject
Yeah... we are. [He confirms; a light blush staining his cheeks. Naturally, Mafuyu is the first and only person that Hiiragi is sharing this news with, so it's the first time that Hiiragi has been able to say those words out loud. And... it feels nice. He can't help it. He's really happy...] You should've seen it! That guy was actually all nervous and stuff when he confessed... Can you believe it?
That blockhead. [He recalls the scene with an obvious fondness to his voice; conveniently leaving out the part of their confession where he was ALSO a nervous wreck, he cried (twice), popped a surprise boner and loudly demanded to be Shizusumi's boyfriend all within the same chaotic whirlwind of a conversation.]
Heh- of course he's stuck with me! I already decided that a long time ago. But it's good that I don't need to tie him up after all~ [Hiiragi casually jokes
(??)before moving on.]Who the hell do you think you're talking to? Of course it's gonna be cute!
OHH- we should match! Then we'll take some pictures in sexy poses while we're out there and post the best thirst-traps to Insta. You in?
no subject
[It's nice seeing an honest smile on Hiiragi's face. Mafuyu's seen him smile lots of times, of course, but there's a difference between Hiiragi smiling because he thinks it'll look cool and Hiiragi smiling because he's head over heels and can't hold it back anymore.
That blush is pretty cute too. He should snap a pic for Shizu-chan.]
No speedos.
[He's making that a rule but...]
I'm in. Just nothing too expensive? I'm trying to save up for a new tuner...
no subject
[This feels good. Laughing, joking around... even the bickering. Sometimes things get a little tense between them, but at the end of the day Hiiragi loves Mafuyu like family. And he'd never say it, but it means a lot to him to have his friend support his new relationship so much. He wonders if Mafuyu felt a similar way when he confessed to Hiiragi that he had someone new that he liked... It's a relief, getting to share your joy with someone who understands.]
Come on, do you really think I'm tacky enough to be a speedo kind of guy? [Tight, low-riding, ass-hugging short-shorts, sure- but not speedos!
When mafuyu agrees, Hiiragi grins excitedly again.] No problem!
Heh... Look at you, being not-boring for once~ Alright, then we'll have to shop around the mall for a while to see what kinds of deals we can get.
[Which is fine with Hiiragi, because he'd be glad to wander around with Mafuyu for hours, just having a good time shooting the shit with each other.] Let's go early this Saturday so we can have lots of time to play at the beach together!
You better set your alarm so you don't sleep in too late, alright?
no subject
[Mafuyu might tease a little and pick on Hiiragi mercilessly but in his opinion that's his job. If he didn't do it then Hiiragi's ego would blow up like a balloon and carry him away. But he's actually pretty relieved that his friends are finally getting together. They'll be good for each other, he thinks.
Shizu-chan needs someone flashy like Hiiragi to drag him into the limelight and give him some confidence and Hiiragi needs the kind of steady adoration that Shizu provides. And even though they're all missing Yuki, at least they can be a little less lonely together.
...He's still gonna poke fun at them though for being dumb for so long.]
...Do you really want me to answer that question?
[Whether or not Hiiragi is tacky enough for something......he doesn't have to think twice. He's always had a more 'adventurous' sense of style than Mafuyu. Whatever is on trend seems to be what that guy flocks to, while Mafuyu tends to stick with things that he's comfortable with.
But for swimsuits he's not really sure what will look best on him, since he wasn't worn them before.]
Even if I try to sleep in, Kedama will wake me so I can take him for a walk.
[It's tough being a fur-parent sometimes.]
no subject
["Ego"? What ego?]
Well I'm not, idiot. Don't get me wrong- if I decided to rock a speedo, I could definitely make it work for me just like anything else... But you've gotta leave a little something to the imagination sometimes, y'know? It gives fans something to look forward to, so they keep coming back. That's like fanservice 101!
[Not that Hiiragi expects Mafuyu to take his lecture to heart. This guy can be so stupidly stubborn about not "needing" more fangirls... Isn't he an idiot?]
Alright, then I better see you bright and early! Otherwise I'll just keep chucking pebbles at your window again until you're up anyway.
no subject
[And honestly he could do with a little less scrutiny when trying to be out and about with Uenoyama-kun, considering how careful they need to be now that the band has been getting more attention.]
One day you'll break a window doing that and mom will murder you.
[She won't. For some reason unfathomable to Mafuyu, his mom loves Hiiragi.]
no subject
Come on, I know I'm super beefy and athletic but I wouldn't go crazy and give Mashiro-san all of that work~
[Hiiragi may be a complete brat when it comes to Mafuyu in particular, but he's always been someone to behave sweetly with his friend's parents (and girls in general). He's still very close with Yuki's mom, and now that he's back in Mafuyu's life, Hiiragi has been doing his best to responsibly look after Mashiro's son even more than ever. So of course she loves him! In Hiiragi's not-so-humble opinion, there's no reason not to!]
no subject
..........super beefy. Like a bologna sandwich.
no subject
Anyway- you better not forget about our deal. I want no less than five upload-worthy pictures out of you once I'm done teaching you how to swim, got it? Really cute ones! That's the least you could do in return for my kind services.
no subject
[He leans in slowly to Hiiragi's personal space, lips quirking into a smile.]
I'll let you take pictures but I get to choose the poses. Deal?
no subject
[But Hiiragi's words are interrupted when he bristles; instinctively leaning back a bit when Mafuyu invades his personal space and causes his heart to stutter!
So unused to the other boy's close approach, the sensitive blond blushes and immediately backs down.] A- alright, alright, whatever!!! Just... back up already, you weirdo!
no subject
[Mafuyu sways back, satisfied with the reaction, and shoves his hands in his pockets and starts walking away like he didn't just intentionally fluster his friend.]
Then, I'll see you Saturday.
