Thanks for the comment
I'm Alive!!!!!!! after my whole months struggle with trying to finish all my assignments and studying for my final exam, I'm finally done with everything

To make up for my absences I decided to write up one of the requests I got a while back. Part of this was written a month ago so I had some trouble remembering what I was trying to do and half way through trying to figure it out, I decided to just go with the flow and just write it. After being away from writing for a whole month, I almost forgot how to do this so I'm back at the beginning, trying to get the hang of it all. I will try to make more updates so thank you for your patiences.
Keichan here is your challenge request for pairing
AtsuSae with your choice of four words
cheese, dishes, mattress and poker. Sorry if this doesn't meet expectations.
*Note: I'm referring to Canada's legal drinking age, which is 19yrs old, so Miichan is technically still underage until Nov 15.
Bacardi 151 - a liquor that has an alcohol content of 75.5%, normally NOT used for shots but for cocktail mixes but I thought it sounds cool to have them take 151 shots here.... Don't take more than a few of these shots if you plan to try it... if you can get it down your throat.
Ace of Hearts (AtsuSae)
~~~~~
"Let's get started!" spoke the excited Yuko.
She quickly distribute the cups around the table, setting the shots ready for the games to begin. Today is the national energy conservation day so the girls decided to reduce energy usage by conforming into few group activities to keep electricity use to the minimal. They went as far as having all their laptops and cell phones turned off to make the night more meaningful.
This particular group decided to pull out a table ready themselves for a night of drinking poker. They had long decided that loser will take a shot instead of playing with poker chips for money, they just want to have fun and when money is involved friendship can end up being put on a stake. Too risky for the girls so whenever they set the table for poker it has always been for shots, which means all underage members are prohibited from joining in as well. They have to be good role models after all.
Around the table sat the aces of their teams Yuko and Acchan as they waited for the game to begin. Of course the older members Mari-sama, Umechan, and Sayaka are already sitting there eyeing the bottles of Bacardi 151 displayed at the side ready for action.
"Hey Sae, don't sit over there come and join us!" Yuko yelled across the room excitedly to get the game going.
"I already said I don't want to play," Sae shouted back then added, "why are you setting up the table in my room anyways?"
"You really don't want to play or because you don't know how to play?" Mariko asked, reading right through Sae's reply.
"We are here because your room is the biggest," Sayaka answered as she took another piece of cheese of the platter.
"It is either that or just because if your roommates catch you playing poker and drinking you will be in big trouble?" Sae said as she pointed over to Mariko, Acchan, Yuko and Sayaka.
"Don't blame them, Miichan is underage and Yuka just turned 20, Takamina is Takamina and Haruna will have Yuko's head if she goes near her with alcohol." Umechan reminded everyone.
"Didn't Acchan just turn 20 too? What about your room?" Sae turned to ask Umechan, "and why are we snacking on cheese?"
"Don't people like alcohol with cheese?" Yuko asked as she placed a couple slice of cheese into her dish so she doesn't have to try reaching for them later.
"I thought it's wine and cheese, not 151 and cheese....." Sae replied with a sweat drop.
"It's all the same" Yuko said as she ignored Sae's comment.
"It's right next to where the kiddies are gathering having their board game night, supervised by Takamina and Yukirin," Umechan answered as she pulled out the deck of cards and shuffling it like a professional dealer.
"Hurry up Sae, come over here we will give you a quick rundown on how to play Texas Hold'em." Mariko said already out of patience from all the stalling.
~
Texas Hold'em is a variation of a standard game of poker, it consist of two cards being dealt face down to each player and then five community cards being placed face up in the center by the dealer. It comes in a series of three cards called the "flop" then two single cards each called the "turn" and "river". The players have an option to check, bet, raise or fold after each dealt, in the case of these girls they get the chance of adding 151 into their shots glasses.
The girls each have 3 shot glasses in front of them and each shot glass has been skilfully marked so that they can pour according to the markings at the side of the glasses. If they want to follow they fill it up to the same level as the highest bet, if they want to raise then they will pour more into their glasses and the next card will only be dealt when all players either have the same amount of alcohol or they fold which they will have to down the shot themselves.
In this game winning doesn't necessarily reward the winner with anything, other than watching the losers that dare follow the betting down the remaining alcohol that they poured. At the beginning it might seem boring if the winner just sit and watch the rest down the beautiful bottle of 151 but as the night continue, a few win might just be what saves them a headache the next morning. Although some say losing is also a strategy "losing is winning", by letting your opponent think you are weak.

"So do you understand how the game is played now?" Sayaka asked the confused Sae beside her after trying to explain the game to the genki girl.
"I think so, let's play..." Sae replied a little hesitantly but does not want to admit she didn't really understand the game fully, thinking after a couple game she will get the hang of it.
"Alright let's get the party start!" Yuko cheered while she twisted off the cap to the bottle of 151 and passed it to Acchan who started off the bet.
After quickly checking her cards, Acchan poured up to the 2nd measure on the shot glass before passing the bottle over. "I call two lines," she announced with a smile that Sae couldn't help but let her eyes linger over those soft cherry lips.
A nudge from the side brought Sae back to the walking plain as the bottle of 151 settle itself in front of her. Looking down at her cards she tried to remember the instructions and explanation she received just a few minutes ago but the more she tried to concentrate the more she found herself distracted.
"Sae, you are stalling," Mariko voiced out, " I know you want to get your hands on the ace but looking at Acchan won't work."
"Emmm, I follow" Sae said and with shaking hands she poured some liquid into her shot glasses, missing the snickers from her teammates.
~~~~
"Let's call it a night, I don't think Sae can handle anymore," a slightly buzzed Yuko said as she watched Sae wave around an empty bottle, speaking half gibberish that most would have trouble understanding.
"Yea I think I had enough, I need to go take a shower before heading back to my room, I reek of alcohol," Sayaka said as she made a motion to smell her clothes not that she would be able to tell given the amount of alcohol in the air.
"Me too, I don't think my head will survive any beatings tonight, and tomorrow will be a pain," Yuko said as her hands unconsciously moved to rub a spot on her head.
"I guess that is it, should we help clean up?" Umechan said, before looking over at the giggling Sae hugging the empty bottle of 151.
"Let's clean it tomorrow?" Mariko suggested, her cheeks mildly flushed from the alcohol she consumed from the few rounds she lost.
"WHAT, you already leaving? Let's keep playing!" Sae half slurred out while she attempted to grab onto the closes person, preventing them from leaving.
It took a few tries before she was successful in latching onto another warm body, trapping the girl with her arms.
"I'll stay for a bit longer and help clean up the mess, you girls go shower and sleep, I'm sure your roommates won't appreciate your current odours." Acchan said as she appeared to be helplessly watch Sae snuggle up to her.
"Good night Acchan, Thanks for cleaning up. I will let the midget know you are staying here to keep Sae from getting in trouble," Mariko said as she walked out behind the others with a slight wobble.
Normally the girls are very good with cleaning up after themselves but tonight just isn't their night of luck, everyone has drank a fair share of shots with the exception of their ace. To win a majority of the game isn't surprising but to win every game, the girls at one point thought she was cheating but they soon found out Acchan's poker face is not only flawless but also deceiving so It isn't a surprise she is the only clear one. Leaving the cleaning to her is definitely most appropriate since she won't be sporting any headaches when morning comes by, a fair trade if you think about it.
"Acchan, let's keep playing" Sae said as she pulled their center girl towards the table, "but we only have the two of us now." Sae continue while sitting there with a pout after realizing there is only the two of them left.
"Then let's play something else," Acchan suggested with a devious smile that Sae missed.
"What game?" the excited Sae said, if one didn't know they might believe she is bipolar.
"Here is how it works, we each pick out four cards and see who has the higher card, loser strips."
"Ehhhhh......"
"Oh well, I guess you don't want to play, that's okay I'll just start cleaning up." Acchan said making a move to start clearing the table.
"Let's do this! I'll win for sure!" Sae said as she struck a pose with the empty bottle still in her hand.
"Alright then, ace is the highest with 2 the lowest okay," Acchan said as she watch Sae pick out her cards while obviously trying to cheat and look at the cards to pick out the higher numbers.
"Okay on a count of 3, 2,1" Sae flipped over her Queen of spade with a triumph smile daring Acchan to do better. She watched the girl in front of her casually picked up a random card and flipped it over showing the Ace of diamonds.
"Sorry, Sae it seems like you lost this round," Acchan said.
"Again!" Sae said as she quickly pulled off her t-shirt leaving her in shorts and her bra, exposing her perfect darker tan. In attempts to switch out her card Sae misses the set of eyes that make their way around her taking in every detail of her upper torso.
"HA! Beat that!" Sae half shouted as she flipped over a King of diamonds, expecting to be rewarded this time she watched as Acchan reach into the pile and pulled out another card which revealed to be the ace of clubs.
Sae stood still and stared at the second ace on the table, before starting shuffle a bit unease having just remembered what the stake was.
"I'm waiting," Acchan stated as she kept her eyes on the taller girl watching Sae's hand reach down to pull off her shorts leaving her standing there in only her undergarments.
Sae shifted a bit before trying to use her hands to cover up some skin as she finally came to her senses that she is standing there in the middle of her room wearing only a bra and underwear with someone else watching her. Sure she is use to posing in swimwear for photo shoots but this is different. Goosebumps starts forming on her heated skin as the air seems exceptionally cooler than normal due to the alcohol that worked to warm up her body higher then usual. Before Sae can reach over to pick up her discarded clothes she felt a pair of hands push her back, causing her topple over into her bed with a slight bounce on the mattress. Sae looked up to find Acchan dangerously close leaning over her.
"Sorry Sae it seems like you lose" Acchan said as she held up the ace of spade in her hand with a smirk, "you should know better than to play against the A..."
Acchan didn't get to finish her sentence as a very warm and active pair of lips decided to intervene, making small subtle movements asking for entrance. Once granted Sae allowed her tongue to make advances to regain the control she lost just moments ago. For a second Sae was unable to figure out if it was the alcohol or her unconscious desire that cause her to lip lock with the girl on top of her but at this moment she could care less, working only to enjoy this new sensation as both party seem to be enjoying. Finally remembering the importance of breathing, they both came up for air panting from the fire that is still spreading across their skin, faster than a forest fire.
Before Sae can leak out any words she found herself being pulled up into another kiss, and instantly she returned it, shocked how the reaction came to her on instinct. She felt Acchan nibbling on her bottom lip while running her tongue along the sides tasting her lips. It took all her will to break apart their kiss and ignoring the warmth of the body pressing down on hers.
"Acchan, we shouldn't be doing this," Sae tried to reason, even though her body has already started to betray her.
"Sae you know as well as I do we both want this, I can see it in your eyes. Don't think I haven't caught you watching me. You really need to work on your poker face." Acchan lean in to capture the awaiting pair of lips again as her hands reached over to remove the last layer of clothing that is hindering her advance.
~~~~~
"Hey Sae! SAE! WAKE UP!" Sae slowly opened her eyes with her hands half trying to block out the intruding sunlight. Sae finally sat up in her bed and came face to face with Takamina.
"Sae, it's time to get up, breakfast is going to be ready soon, hurry and go take a shower, you smell like alcohol," Takamina said in a tone that remind Sae of her mother. She watched Takamina leave before remembering the events of last night, but her mind appears to be failing her as everything seems like a dream and illusion as her headache reminds her of the amount of shots she took the night before.
Sae quickly looked around her room searching for evidence to confirm her quickly failing memories, she looked down to see herself wearing the same t-shirt and shorts as last night, everything under appears to be intact. She scanned her room to find the table cleared and cleaned, with the shot cups neatly stacked up at the side. All in all, everything seems to be in proper place, without any support for her memories of the wild night.
"I guess it was all just my imagination... must be the alcohol, it was too good to be true," Sae half whispered to herself as she got up to grab her clothes and towel before heading into the showers.
Just as she made a move to hang her towels on the hooks something fell out from the layer of cotton, reaching down Sae picked up a single playing card. When she flipped it over she came face to face with the ace of heart, shocked by the sudden appearance of the card Sae pinched herself to make sure she isn't still dreaming.
"You know that could leave a bruise," a voice spoke from behind Sae.
Recognizing the voice Sae quickly looked up into the mirror to confirm the owner and found Acchan casually leaning on the back wall staring back at her with her famous smile.
