Skylar bit back a smile when he felt Alex's leg press more against his. Somehow, he managed not to smile, but he really wanted to. He also really wanted to grab his face and kiss him, but he couldn't do that. Subconsciously, Sky found himself sipping his punch when Alex did. Sky felt a little weird being around Alex's friends, it's because he barely knew any of them. He assumed that once he starts to feel the alcohol kick in, he'll start to loosen up. "Count me in." Skylar said, leaning forward once he heard what game Bev suggested. He rested his elbows on his knees and let his hands rest in between his legs, still holding his punch.

Alex raised a brow in slight surprise when he heard Skylar state that he wanted in. Bev smirked at that and gave a nod. "Perfect then." She said before humming and looking towards Ben. "Okay, Never have I ever peed in a pool." She said, biting back a laugh as she watched the group of friends before her. Alex shook his head at that, a quick look of disgust passing over his face before he watched Ben take a swig of his drink after laughing. Seeing the judgment from his friends he huffed. "Dude, I was like six and I panicked, alright?" He said, quickly attempting to explain himself. Alex couldn't stop the laugh that escaped him. "Bro, that's so fucking gross," Will said with a chuckle.

Skylar watched the entire group of people judge Ben, and a sudden wave of nervousness washed over him. He only smiled at everything that was going on, but didn't say anything about Ben because he's done it too. Slowly, he brought the cup of punch to his lips before taking a sip. His cheeks reddened a bit, but he kept his mouth shut. He looked at Alex, holding back a laugh. It wasn't that gross in Sky's opinion, especially since he's done it when he was younger. Almost every little kid pees in the pool, so he suspected that the rest of them were lying.

Alex saw movement out of the corner of his eye and turned his gaze towards Sky. He smiled faintly as he watched him take a sip and then as Bev and Will did the same. He wasn't really judging anyone for admitting such a thing, not truly. It was common, he was sure, for young kids to relieve themselves in pools. Since he'd been his parent's first child, and for all intent and purposes a "miracle baby" as they put it, since they'd been told they couldn't have kids, his parents had been overbearing. He hadn't been allowed to swim until he was nine, and by then he'd had perfect bladder control. If things had been different perhaps he'd find himself drinking from his cup as well. "Drew, Alex, you two seriously telling me that you didn't?" Bev questioned with a raised brow after setting hers down. Drew narrowed his eyes slightly before shaking his head. "I'm pretty sure I'd remember doing something like that." He said with a soft laugh. Alex chuckled and gave a shrug. "My parents didn't let me go swimming until I was nine, so... nope. I can confidently say I've never done that." He said with a chuckle. He was saying this more for Skylar's benefit than his friends, after all with the exception of Will and Andrew, they knew how strict his parents were and what growing up with them had been like, for the most part anyway.

Skylar quietly observed, seeing 2 more people sip their drinks. He didn't keep his gaze on them for long before his eyes fell onto Alex again. He then listened intently to what was being said, but mostly to what Alex was saying. Sky went to go take another sip of his drink, but stopped himself. He had no intention of lying to any of the questions, so he had to save his punch for the questions. He was comfortable on the couch and didn't want to have to get up for more soon, plus he needed to take it slow. Silently and patiently, Skylar waited for whoever's turn it was next.

After it seemed like everyone had answered, or taken a drink Ben leaned back in his seat. "Okay, Never have I ever lied about why I couldn't hang out when I just didn't want to." Instantly Will was smirking and raising his cup to his lips. At the questioning glasses, he laughed. "Every time y'all invite me to a group project." Bev wrinkled her nose at that before scoffing. "No, I can see that." She said with a laugh and shook her head. "Certainly explains why you faked your grandma's funeral... twice." She smirked. Alex watched as Ben drank, and Bev, followed by Andrew. He was still for a moment before he raised his own cup to his lips. He'd been doing that a lot lately, far more so than he cared to admit. Ever since meeting and agreeing to go out with Skylar, he found himself making up multiple excuses as to why he couldn't hang out because he very much preferred to spend his time with Skylar.

Skylar's eyes turned to Ben when he asked the next question. After the question was asked, he waited a moment and watched as everyone took a sip of their drinks almost instantly. Sky wasn't surprised, and he brought his lips to his cup and took a sip right after Alex did. He chuckled a bit after swallowing. He then looked at the person beside Ben, assuming that they would be the next person to ask the question if they were going in order. Leaning back in his seat, he spread his legs even more, his leg pressing Alex's harder.

Will, who was the person sitting next to Ben gave a soft hum. He made a point of thinking for a moment about what he wanted to ask before smirking faintly and looking over at Bev. "Never have I ever gotten a weird nickname that stuck?" Bev groaned and took a sip. "Do NOT bring up 'Cheezit Queen'." She grumbled. Alex clamped his mouth shut in an attempt to stop himself from laughing. His lips pulled up in a smile at the memory, though he tried not to. Bev instantly caught it and narrowed her eyes. Roger took a sip as well, his cheeks reddening a little. "I've been called Lizard Boy for the longest time in second grade." He said. Alex shook his head. "Yeah, 'cause you were obsessed with them." He said in amusement. He paused for a second before going to take a sip of his own drink, though he made no attempt to explain himself.

Skylar again watched silently as the next question was asked. A small smile formed on his mouth because of the 2 weird nicknames he heard, and then when Alex took a sip, his mouth slightly opened. "Tell me." Skylar pleaded quietly, nudging Alex with his shoulder. Sky didn't have any weird nicknames, so he didn't sip his punch at all, even though he wanted to. He kept his eyes glued onto Alex, desperately wanting to know what weird nickname he had. (Agh sorry these are short)

Alex paused when he felt Skylar quietly plead for him to tell him. He felt his cheeks reddening ever so slightly and he quickly looked away. As if to give himself the courage to speak about it, because he knew the moment he did his friends would run with it again, he brought his cup to his lips and took another long sip. "It's stupid." He said with a chuckle and a shake of his head. "But it was Pretty Boy." He said, his cheeks reddening further. "Oh right! I remember the night that name came around to." Roger said with a chuckle and a shake of his head. Bev smirked. "Mhm. Wasn't it homecoming in Freshman year? You looked like a fucking model." She said recalling the memory. Alex glowered at her. "I did not look that good. You were just making it a bigger deal than it was." He huffed in embarrassment. "Oh really?" Bev questioned with a mischievous smirk. "I'm pretty sure I still have pictures of you from that night." She said. "Perhaps Will, Drew, and Skylar can let us know if we were overreacting." She said teasingly.
