<Nocturnal Harmonia>

Everything had the potential to be completely normal. Miyuki could try to ignore Miko's rear sitting right atop his erection, wiggling as he pulsed, curving just under where his hand rested. His pinkie finger was even affected by the movement, keeping its position loosely around the upper curve of Miko's buttocks, but not affecting him enough to be altered consciously. It seemed to be going well as he drained half the shot into her mouth... or tried to. The halfway point was where things changed. Once the stream ended, just before he could close his mouth and swallow the remaining half ounce... Shirogane Miyuki was subjected to an attack most unexpected. A tongue slid between gently pursed lips, causing his eyes to widen. His left arm flew up as though retreating, but his right arm could only tense against Miko's lower back. Did he want to back away, or did he want to fall in? Both was the answer.

Sensibility and desire were at war within the blonde Hunter. His eyes wanted to remain widened in shock, but they also attempted to flutter shut in surrender. Miko's invasive tongue was causing most of that shot's remains to flow downward into her mouth, even as Miyuki instinctively gulped a small portion of it. What was he to do? It was so hard to fight, so easy to seek something deeper, and so confusing to be in the situation. Would he have to fight Kiriya? Would he have a falling-out with Kaguya? Well, none of it could matter in the moment. Maybe everyone else would understand it was just drunken nonsense. He wasn't the one initiating contact this way. As long as he didn't look like he was enjoying it too much, all would be well... right? Well, there was one certainty within the confines of his mouth: his tongue was gently caressing that intruder and matching the rhythm of her hips. He could only assume Miko would catch herself and back away... or perhaps someone else would say something to bring the girl to her senses? Maybe, if the universe wanted to do him a favor, everyone would completely support this turn of events, turning a blind eye to it and leaving everything unspoken in public? That would be the dream.

It wouldn't be Yugi to speak for any such purpose. No, he was keeping an eye on Kaguya and noting the fact that she'd taken less shots than the other two. Four people were at this table. Of those four, two still had their wits about them fully. Maybe he should do something about that? He picked up his own glass and casually swirled it around, clearly considering quite a few things. "Eyes are off," he mouthed silently. Miko's eyes were closed, and Miyuki's were anywhere between closed and locked on Miko's face. Suddenly, Yugi's breeches seemed to just... disappear, revealing an erection extending up that raised thigh. That gesture would be his hidden movement, since Kaguya had been so hospitable with her sexual showings thus far.

Miko was kissing Miyuki, or more accurately, she'd gone into his mouth in search of the rest of the shot he'd offered her. What number was she on now? Six or Seven? Well, whatever the case, she was definitely going to have it now. Ah, but that wasn't the only thing happening, her hips were moving against his throbbing cock. There was a hand tightened against her lower back, and there was... a tongue, so tentatively caressing hers within his mouth. 'Hentai but not degen... or maybe not yet...' Miko thought randomly. Her brain began traveling, catching up to the rest of her body. It was a dichotomy taking place but not one that Miko could think about actively. No, it'd be a moment or two until she managed to pull herself away, and she'd only do so because it didn't go as far as she was used to. If it had been Yugi, that hand on her lower back would have been gripping her butt cheeks or slipped between her legs. A tongue wouldn't have been teasing hers in his mouth but instead all the way in hers retaliating against her intrusion. And beyond that the other hand would have found its way onto her flesh emptied of ups and the like... yeah there was something odd afoot.

Just the same, Yugi and Kaguya were looking at each other and paying attention to the pair kissing in front of them. Kaguya had seen Miyuki's hand rise, in an obvious attempt to not do anything wrong. She also knew Miko was quite deep on the drinks and seemed to have the same reaction to drinking that Kaguya herself often did. All riled up, it was hard to do anything but commit to something sexy, but... just the same there was a bit of freedom. Well, magic seemed to make Yugi's pants disappear and she could see the thickness of his erection against that lifted thigh of his. It seemed that Miko had been quite busy in his lap before she'd been roused from it. With no eyes on her, she made a somewhat sillier gesture, a circle with a single finger going in and out of it. She held up her glass and gestured for the pair to take a drink together potentially. Eventually though, Miko would be withdrawing her eyes opening and looking a tiny bit confused. "Ooh, gomen... my body moved before I thought about it♪~" Miko chirped lightly. Still she'd lick her lips and seem to be thinking about something else she wasn't quite sure what yet, but she knew he'd want to extricate himself from her body. Just the same she saw it, out of the corner of her eye that message from the System, telling her about the Route potential with Miyuki. Unlike the other one she'd seen it only had a moderate compatibility rating. When she saw that sort of thing she usually went for a friendship route, but she might have fudged it a bit by ending up in his lap.

Kaguya had gone from blowjob gestures to direct examples, and had now evolved to allusions of penetration. Yugi thought the progression of her displays was indicative of her mental growth... or collapse, depending on how one wanted to view the situation. She had a look at his current state before his pants were reequipped ─ something done only because Yugi saw the coming moment of separation between Miko and Miyuki a bit sooner than he anticipated. It was a shame; he was only a breath away from making another gesture toward Kaguya. Instead, he'd be accepting raising his glass further to facilitate their shared drink.

All the while, another type of shared drink was already replaying in Miyuki's mind. His tongue met the invasive tongue of Miko and swirled around it, though well within his own mouth. Though one hand had originally raised as if he were backing away, extended digits were losing tension and naturally curling inward... at least on that hand. His other hand seemed to be the one most willing to express desire, apart from eyes that were just about ready to close. When Miko drew back, Miyuki's right hand was applying light pressure to her back, as if he'd been seconds from trying to coax her into a straddling position. Alas, it seemed that wouldn't be happening whether it was a conscious thought of Miyuki's or not. Whatever the case, his reddened face would be hovering over Miko's still when she licked her lips and explained the occurrence. It wasn't as if he would say anything negative to the girl he was still furiously throbbing beneath the rear of. Even now, that right hand of his was slowly creeping downward. Surely no one would notice him 'subconsciously' dropping it under the table without removing it from Miko's body, right? What was a little bit of incidental grab-ass anyway? "Eheh─right... no harm, no foul. Muscle memory, yeah?" he asked, chuckling and perhaps... buying seconds?

Kaguya's mental growth or collapse wasn't something which would need to be figured out. As she took steps forward based solely on her impulses she also took several steps back based on her own desires. She hadn't forgotten that Miyuki was trying to do the right thing by not falling into Miko's antics completely, but quietly somewhere in the back of her mind, it likely would have made her feel better if he'd just gone along with it. Then she wouldn't be the only one working through something. With basic thoughts like maybe they'd settled down too fast or maybe that 'it' factor just wasn't originally part of their plans. But Kaguya was a flexible individual she'd bend to new ideals and fleshed out information before she allowed it to break her. With glasses raised it seemed a break was coming between the other pair and Kaguya wouldn't be going too far this time. A raised glass for each of them as Miko's little voice broke an otherwise breathy silence.

Ah, but Miko didn't just break, there was something quite odd about Miyuki's given behavior. He was definitely trying to do something but also she watched as his body seemed to be giving way. Miko wouldn't be malicious towards her own friend but... didn't that just mean they were all mostly on the same page? Perhaps a bit more time was necessary? He was still throbbing beneath her rear and soon enough that hand that had been on her lower back had fallen under the table. As he mentioned no harm no foul there was a bit of groping. Something more like she'd come to expect. He blamed her forwardness on muscle memory and that could be taken as an out, a positive in general. "Something like that♪~" Miko chirped. In truth, she'd gotten far too used to sinking into moments, pulling away from something should have felt odder than it did. 'Maybe he's one of the pretense people...' she wondered as he grabbed at her still wiggling rear under the table and she managed to look only as blushy and crazy as she'd been looking the entire time. "Alright, alright... going now... careful, sharing those drinks, Shirogane-san♪~" Miko chirped as she extricated herself from his lap once more. And moved back towards the seat she'd claimed, Yugi's lap, though apparently the long way round. "Oya, should I feel bad I'm not on the list yet?♥~" Kaguya decided to tease in the moment instead of pushing it too much.

And so, Yugi would be taking another shot via a toast with Kaguya. It was near time to enact a plan, he thought. Now that Miyuki had something to occupy his mind, a bit more boldness could be practiced. He was on his fourth, and she, her third. He didn't imagine she was the type who held liquor very well, but he was also in the process of discovering his own limits. The long-term distraction of Miyuki would do well.

Speaking of Miyuki's distracted state, it was nearing its apex as Miko began to shift out of his lap. His hand brushed over the full curve of her rear, applying just the slightest grip to pillowlike softness ─ surely a reflex to the contact, right? Well, that was the way he hoped things looked. "I─uh. Yeah... I'll be careful," he stammered. Miyuki was suffering his own bit of intoxication, though he was quite used to drinking in a group. What he wasn't used to, was the exchange he just had with Miko. He found himself looking first toward Yugi, hands clapping together as his head lowered. "Kiriya-kun, gome─" As though it had become a fated habit, Miyuki wasn't allowed to finish speaking to Yugi in that moment. "Save it. I knew that would happen," was all Yugi said. "Actually, credit for surprise. I expected more," he added. Miyuki was at a loss for words. Were they one of those swinger couples? That would surely explain Miko not having a true moment of sobriety after realizing what she was doing. Maybe it was best to discuss the matter? "Iino-chan..." he said. No... what was he doing? He should just let things slide without bringing it back up again. If he did anything else, he might accidentally expose his own actions taken. Ah! There was salvation! That was at the end of Yugi's turn, so... "Truth or dare!" Miyuki decided.

Kaguya could indeed not handle her liquor. She had a very specific number of strong drinks she could take before it became obvious that she was done for a time. Everyone who drank with Kaguya knew this to be true, it'd been refined, but the number itself still stood. At number three, critical mass was approaching rather quickly. No matter there was the normal show of clearing Miko from Miyuki's lap. She'd told him to be careful, and he'd claimed he would be through a stammer. That sound implied something, disagreement with the idea maybe. Well the extra little squeeze to her ass seemed to imply that he definitely wasn't opposed, but she'd already been told many men wouldn't be... 'Sou ka, maybe it is pretense. It's still kind of weird though,' Miko thought absently. Miyuki had to be one of the different kinds of people but she couldn't quite nail down which one.

Miyuki used pretense to play grab ass, had a throbbing erection the entire time Miko was in his lap and long before it... but still thought to apologize to Miko's boyfriend for his intrusion. Well, they were Japanese, apologizing for any trouble caused was normal, but Yugi never seemed to take it from him. Yugi explained that he knew it would happen but gave credit that it hadn't gone farther. Miko's body was still swimming peacefully. Her movements weren't as wobbly anymore, no... she looked almost graceful padding towards her spot on tippy toes with a little bounce in her step in Kaguya's mini-skirt which showed off so much of her bottom. As she walked away she'd be called upon again, by Miyuki and Miko for her part in this would turn slightly. Her back gently arched as she looked back over her shoulder at the man still sitting at the other end of the table. As if she intended to fully put an idea in his head. "Waaah♪~ This is really starting to feel like a conspiracy against me♪~" Miko chirped out with that odd vocalization that was neither positive nor negative. "Dare♪~ They haven't led me astray yet♪~" Miko decided. Dares from Miyuki were well within the controlled state she figured even if he went full horny brain now, it couldn't be any worse than Yugi. "Oya, and here I thought I was the impulsive one♥~" Kaguya commented while rolling her eyes playfully. She hadn't forgotten about Yugi and knew that lad would be up to something as well, she just wasn't sure what, just yet.

Luckily for Miyuki, timing let him save himself. He could easily switch attention back to the game without letting on to the fact that he'd almost started an unnecessary conversation. Miko seemed so ready to lean in another direction, though. He didn't know why she had an arch in her back while standing, but he knew what kind of imagery it was putting in his mind. Was he wrong to have deviant thoughts just then? No, it couldn't be. Actually... that arch only appeared when she acknowledge his calling. How many reasons could she have to do something like that? Whatever the case, Miyuki would struggle through an attempt to get back on the straight and narrow. Miko chose dare again... Of course she would.

What sort of dare could he give? Miyuki hardly had a thing in mind, apart from thoughts further contributing to his current erection. "Another one, huh? Well I dare you to..." Think. He had to think. Surely there was something normal and game-appropriate in there. "Uh..." The harder he tried to force it, the less Miyuki was coming up with. His eyes wandered about, only to keep landing on Miko for brief, yet repeated moments. After a bit of that, he managed something. "I dare you... to... take two shots in my place next time I get one," he decided. There was no need to talk about the thoughts he had of sharing another shot, or the hope that Miko would make the decision herself due to only having a single glass. Hell, he'd only just issued the dare. Miyuki had to get his mind together. . .

Miyuki was managing to switch attention back to the game at hand. If Miko had been in her right mind she might have remembered to think about all the extra information she'd been gathering. Oh well, she was sitting it to the side as she considered the best way to move forward. When he called for her, it didn't seem like what he said was what he wanted initially. Miko needed her brain a bit clearer she was sure there was a potential answer, she was also sure that she'd affected Miyuki quite a bit more than he was trying to let on. No matter, she waited for that issued dare and would have it launched at her soon enough. When he took his next drink, she had to take two... so there was no way to turn it down and not end up still intoxicated? "This is really looking like entrapment for the girl who hadn't ever drank before... I'm onto you♪~" she chirped still she wouldn't be saying no to the dare. "Still, I'll do it..." Miko confirmed before heading towards her place.

It hadn't escaped her notice that Miyuki had struggled to get out those sentences. That the way he spoke in general was quite similar to her own speaking methods when she was trying very hard not to say what was on her mind. Odd though that was, she was a stranger to him, so perhaps he was just making a good impression. She could see that given the rest of his actions. "Oya~ I guess that makes it my turn again~ It's starting to get difficult to choose, everyone keeps choosing dares so there's no juicy details unless you dig for them~" Kaguya playfully complained as if she also wasn't just choosing dares. Oh well, there were different reasons to do different things. "Up for a dare, Kiriya-kun?" she asked of him seemingly amused by the potential.

The dare Miyuki finally managed to come up with would serve at least the purpose of freeing him up once. If he had a dare that was too ridiculous, he could simply choose to drink... which meant Miko would have to take the drink instead, along with a bonus shot. He could even hope her getting into a more drunken state would lead to more 'samples' that were easily played off. Maybe luck would strike in full force, and his entire life would change because of this game? No... that was ridiculous as a thought. How could one's entire life change because one simple game became a bit devious? Either way, he shrugged when Miko claimed entrapment. "Sumimasen, Iino-chan~ but you're the vulnerable one. Besides, it's part of the culture. Those who haven't drank before should get special extras~" he teased.

In the meantime, something else was building between Kaguya and Yugi. She knew he was plotting. He knew she knew. Now, she'd finally make a move of her own by calling him out. Kaguya understood something. Much like herself, and much like Miko, Yugi didn't intend to choose 'truth' as an option when called upon. "Maybe we're all just daring people. Isn't that how it is, Shinomiya?" he replied cheekily. The two black-haired individuals at this table were both amused for some reason. As Miyuki held out a half-empty bottle, Yugi stared at the lass across the table. "Damn right I'm up for one. Gimme your worst," he challenged. This was one Yugi actually hadn't anticipated. Things yet to cross his mind were interesting beyond all reason. Whatever her dare was, Yugi could only be excited by the prospect.

Once and only once, would Miyuki get a pass for a dare or a drink and in exchange Miko would have to take two. She called this arrangement entrapment but still accepted it just the same. Still what did Miyuki have to say for himself? A teading apology and a statement about her being the vulnerable one. "This culture sounds toxic to newcomers♪~" Miko mentioned. "That sounded different coming from you that way♪~" Miko twittered. There really was something odd going on beneath the surface of Shirogane Miyuki. Upon sitting down she reached for her phone for just a moment and noticed the note about his route, finally. She'd only not taken Yugi's lap figuring he might need the space but that didn't mean that wasn't where she wanted to be instead. In fact her face maintained an underlying pout as she would much rather be doing something else. 'Moderate Compatibility, Continued Interaction and Player Choice... sounds like he might actually have one of those conditional unlock states. Or maybe a turning branch? It's hard to tell... I can't think it through clearly enough right now...' Miko's was trying for useful thoughts but it was mostly a brainstorm.

While Miko brainstormed, Kaguya was preparing an interesting moment. She'd been mostly quiet and had been observing quite a while. This game progressed in stages, invasiveness and degeneracy growing around the pair of Miko and Yugi. Just the same she knew herself to be contributing to it just a bit going along with their nonsense and even incidentally stirring one who would have been more withdrawn into engaging more directly. So now, what would she be doing? "My worst?♥~ No, nothing like that... there are a couple of clear lines, remember?♥~" Kaguya teased just lightly enough. "As for a dare, take a body shot as your next drink. A belly button of your choice, obviously♥~" Kaguya mentioned. Issuing a dare like that she knew she was on the chopping block. Miko was a safe choice but she also figured he wouldn't choose her for it. No... he was focused still for whatever reason so she figured it'd be her. And she figured now would be a good time to finish testing that resolve, shown by Miyuki. Would he take this one? Or would he pass and give Miko two shots to take instead. Would he choose to wait for the shot completed off Kaguya or was he interested enough in Miko to take a body shot off her? Was it simply because of the alcohol? Well drunk people behaved in odd ways, but Kaguya had always found drunkness to be honest.
