Couples Game Night
i woke up with game fluff on the brain. so Creator Siblings date night with all their respective partners. now featuring Yuu’s new girlfriend! *applause and fireworks* (it took 6 months for me to stop being lazy and write this. pao i’m terrible)
The dorm’s media room was rather quiet for a weekend but this didn’t bother Abby as she began to prepare the room for the evening. Her employers and their dates would be arriving shortly and she simply would have everything perfect for them.
Couch fluffed, surfaces dusted, games and movies alphabetized, bookshelf made presentable, personal and guest controllers laid side by side, and a variety of snacks and beverages laid across the end tables; truly the maid had done her job to the height of satisfaction. She was soon joined by her acquaintance, Johnny, and the two waited calmly as she counted down toward the arrival of the night’s guests.
“3, 2, 1...”
As she said the last number, the room was filled with a rush of sound as the Nebras siblings simultaneously arrived in the room with their guests.
In true flashy fashion, Yuuko and Crimson were the first to arrive, both appeared in a flash of light and smoke, and struck flamboyant poses together. Her elder sister, Lala, arrived with her girlfriend, Eclair, through what could be considered a dimensional rift, both linked arm in arm and flirting with each other. Yuu arrived with his girlfriend Evalynn in tow, with their form of transport having been magical teleportation via her ability. And the last to enter were Reika and Cami, whom simply entered through the door like normal people.
“I still don’t understand why the rest of you can’t use doors like normal people.” Reika huffed as she chided her siblings.
“Bell and I technically did, so your argument is a little moot,” Yuu replied
“You--” Reika said as she made her way over to him and started pulling on his cheeks in mock frustration, “are being a butt, brother dear.”
Reika was lightly removed from her position by both the glances of the others and the robo maid’s hand pulling her away. She quickly and dramatically collapsed upon her girlfriend’s shoulder.
“Oh Buns... They’re so cruel! Comfort me, darling.” Reika said with mock hurt
To her further frustration she was met with head pats and an unsympathetic giggle. “Oh, I see how it is! Everyone just gang up on me!”
Abby simply removed a sucker from the pocket of of her apron and held it in front of the loud girl. Reika showed no hesitation in grabbing the the candy before she settled herself on the center of the couch in front of the tv.
“Lynn!”
“Yes!?” the girl responded, mostly in surprise to the sudden shout.
“As the new kid on the block/the guest, you get first choice in game,” Reika stated
The mage looked at the other freckled girl in confusion fo a bit as she hadn’t been prepared to be put on the spot. A light tap on the hand from her boyfriend and she’d regained her composure.
“Um, is that a WiiU?” she asked tentatively. “Cause I always have fun playing Smash with Yuu.”
The room lit up with cheers as everyone applauded the game choice.
“Yuu, your girl has good taste!” Cami boasted
Evalynn blushed a tad and grabbed at Yuu’s hand. The two made their way over to the couch with the others and took up seats on the far left. As Cami plopped down next to her girlfriend, Lala and Eclair sidled in next to her on the right side, and Crimson and Yuuko took the far right side, with the latter sitting on the arm rest. Abby and Johnny took up seats next to a white board that had various listings of names. She then laid out the rules of the evening.
“Master, Mistresses, and guests, welcome to our home tonight. We hope that you’ll enjoy your stay. Please feel free to help yourself to any of the refreshments at your leisure. Tonight’s games shall be special as we will be keeping track of your scores. The losers of each round will have to engage in a punishment game, suggestions of which I will be collecting shortly.”
As she stated this last part, she made her way to each individual, handing them a pen and blank card to write the punishment they’d like to see others perform. After a few minutes, all had submitted their cards and then they all proceeded to gather their individual controllers.
“The first round is an 8 player free for all on Big Battlefield. The last person eliminated is the loser. Please select your fighters,” Abby stated
Reika instantly picked Cloud and made sure he was in his Advent Children costume. Cami opted in for a default Toon Link. Lala gravitated toward Game&Watch, while Eclair chose Wii Fit Trainer. Yuu grabbed the black palette Dr. Mario and he giggled when Evalynn chose Bayonetta. Crimson then chose the green skin Greninja and Yuuko picked out Captain Falcon.
“Well I’m avoiding Buns and Yuu.” Reika stated. “I know what you two do with those characters...”
“What’s that supposed to mean?” Evalynn asked
“I have no idea what she means,” Cami said
Yuu gave no response and just did that weird anime trope of lens glare when adjusting one’s glasses. Or at least he tried to.
With everything set, they all loaded into the field with 3 stocks and the chaos began.
Reika and Yuu immediately took up defensive positions by the ledges and began spamming their neutral B fireballs as wall attacks. Cami simply avoided these by standing still and letting her shield negate them whenever she got near them, and began spamming arrows when she had the chance. Lala played a bit tactical and positioned G&W to absorb all the projectiles with his down B bucket until it was full, after which she started inching toward Eclair in order to spring her trap. The black cat wasn’t falling for it and started dodging into shield in order to create space and leave Evalynn in her place. This would have been fine, but when Crimson came in with a shadow sneak and Yuuko came in with a raptor boost punch, the mage simply tapped down B and perfectly countered both with Witch Time before she comboed both and sent them off screen with a Wicked Weave up smash. The two looked at her in disbelief from the other end of the couch.
“What? I play the DS version with Yuu on the weekends. I know how to bait.”
The cheers from the others on the couch made he blush a tad but she remained focused on the combat. With the time set to infinite, and items turned off, it was still anyone’s game.
Four minutes in and the battlefield was starting to thin out. Thanks to the consistent projectile spam, both Lala and Yuu had strong advantages, with the former being able to absorb projectiles to use as an attack and the latter using the character’s cape to reflect projectiles when able. Between the two playing rather messily, Eclair, Yuuko, and Cami had lost all their stocks. The current stock total left Reika with 2, and everyone else with 1. Seeing an imminent victory for the oldest Nebras sibling, the rest silently agreed to 4v1 the stock leader as she charged her limit guage.
Reika had anticipated such tactics and kept charging as bait. Lala and Evalynn made the mistake of rushing in together and ended up accidentally attacking each other which gave Reika the opening to up smash them both off screen, eliminating them from the game. Yuu attempted a frontal assault as well but was punished with an up air combo string before being dunked off stage with a down A hit.
“Aw crap!” Crim shouted
The pink haired cat had been lamenting her now solidified loss, as her shadow sneak was read once again and her final Greninja stock was launched to the blast zone by a finishing touch. Victory solidified, Reika had Cloud use his down taunt to lean against his sword as the announcer called the game.
“I love being Emo Strife.” Reika said giddily
As the group set the game to team battle for the next round of fights, Abby noted a point in the solo column for Crimson.
The tag team battles were structured in a tourney setup where each team would get one chance to per round to win before all the winners got a chance to face off. The first team to out would be the losers of this round in order to expidite the process so other games could be played.
First up was Cami and Reika--whom were sporting Roy and Peach-- versus Yuu and Evalynn, whom were using ROB and Shulk. Things started out fairly simple, with the teamwork between the to girls easily trouncing the other couple, that was until Yuu started making excellent usage of ROB’s top for attacks and zoning.
“Why does he have your ROB tactics? I fucking hate ROB when played like that!” Cami berated
“He IS me, hun. Only natural he’d use the top like that,” Reika stated
The “strategic” usage of the top began to throw Cami off her game just enough that the other team was able to whittle her stocks down by focusing her despite Reika’s interference. It wasn’t long before the stock deficit had matched with the Roy/Peach team being forced to split stocks so that both teams were at one stock per player. Things would have worked in favor of the two girls if Peach’s turnip pull hadn’t spawned a bob-omb. The hasty throw at close range was reflected by ROB’s side B arm spin and was set off by Roy’s side smash which caught all three--whom were at 70% or higher-- in the blast radius and launched all three off screen. Evalynn capitalized on the moment by having Shulk shout his signature catchphrase as the announcer called the game.
“It’s always the fucking bombs! Every single goddamn time! I fucking can’t win!” Reika shouted
“That is still the weirdest thing...” Cami agreed. She patted her girlfriend on the back and pulled her into a hug. “It’s ok honey. Maybe next time.”
“Stupid, cheating-ass bombs...”
The others laughed at the display while Abby added the marks underneath the loser’s names. The rest of the doubles bracket went by with just as much merriment, with the eventual winners being Yuu and Evalynn due to their bait and counter strategy of play.
The next round of play was the single’s tournament which also held the same loser stipulation of the last round. First up was Lala going against Eclair, with the former picking Jigglypuff and the latter picking Lucina. The pink haired girl’s siblings all leaned forward and looked at her from their positions on the couch.
“Laly. Laly, why?” Yuuko asked
“That’s the worst match up Bell.” Yuu stated
“Ruby, love yourself and pick a better match.” Reika said
“I got this!” Lala said with confidence
She didn’t have it. She didn’t have it at all. Three stocks each, and six minutes of play time. In was all done in three. Lala lost the first stock to a foot stool stealing her last jump when she tried to recover from off stage. The second stock vanished as a result of a misstep when using rest, where she was punished by a forward smash. The last stock, the last stock was the worst as it was the truest attempt at a comeback. She’d managed to get the stock count even at 1-1, but her last stock was at 107% when the last Lucina descended. The damage build up on Eclair was going just fine until the cat started a reversal. A near launch off stage left Lala floating in to recover; she saw a shield breaker being charged at the ledge and went in for an air dodge. Her timing was perfect to catch the ledge, but the invincibility frames fell off right when the shield breaker charge ended, letting the stab easily knock Puff off the screen for a victory.
There were many praises going around for Lala’s attempt at a comeback but she was still pouting about it. This was easily rectified by a rather steamy kiss from the winner--to which the room lit up with cheers, all while the robo maid noted the loss down.
The rest of the single’s bracket passed with similar results, whether the match ups were between siblings, lovers, or friends. The overall winner at the end was Cami, as she was the historical winner on this couch for all time.
After things had calmed down during the snack break intermission, they all sat back down at the Wii to start up some races in Mario Kart. Via Abby’s RNG calculator, it was decided that they would race the Special Cup-- AKA: Rainbow Road.
“Yuunko, isn’t this cup hard?” Eclair questioned
“The lord RNGesus hath proclaimed this be our trail by fire!” Reika responded. “We race this cup.”
As these particular races would take some time, they all agreed that they’d only race this one cup and that the people in the last two places would be considered the losers. They set about picking their racers and proceeded through the cup. Since many of them hadn’t played the game in ages it was a fairly even game, but you could tell who the more experienced racers were by the tricks and tactics they used. At the end of it all, the top three spots belonged to Reika, Cami, and Yuu, while the losers happened to be Evalynn and Yuuko.
After the salt had worn off, the line of losers gathered around Abby to receive their punishment games. Crimson was tasked with performing a handstand for 5 minutes; Yuuko had to drink baby formula; Cami was to be tickled for 5 minutes straight; Lala and Reika had to upload a performance to Youtube; and Evalynn had to get several apple juice body shots sipped off of her. All in all it was a almost a rather tame set of dares.
Once Crimson was propped up against the wall--for balance sake more so than anything-- Eclair and Reika set about tickling Cami, as she would be the time metric for both their punishments. As those two struggled to pin down and tickle the third, Yuuko took up a cross-legged squat in front her partner and began swigging from her cup of baby formula.
“Tastes awful, doesn’t it?” Crimson said with a smirk.
“Meh,” Yuuko responded with a slight grimace. “I’ve had worse before.” And she proceeded to drain the cup near instantly.
Back on the couch, Evalynn was flat on her back with her shirt hiked up and a nervous blush that nearly as dark as her freckles. Her boyfriend doled out a generous amount of juice on her abdomen before he bent down slurped it off. A process repeated a number of times until he felt the challenge had been satisfied. By this point everyone had finished their own punishments--except the oldest Nebras siblings, as they opted to do theirs to round out the night-- and the festivities switched over to Uno.
As Yuu shuffled the cards, Reika went over the specific playing rules of the night.
“House rules are as follows: Normal rules of play are intact. Specialty rules include triples, doubles, and follow suit. If you don’t call Uno in three seconds then you have to draw four cards instead of two. We all good?”
“How exactly does follow suit work?” Evalynn asked as she gathered her dealt hand.
“Mostly a numbers thing in this case, Lynn.” Lala pitched in. “We play in ascending order so that it’s more fair. So if you have cards for 1-3 you can play them all at once, regardless of color, with one at the bottom and three on top. If the next player in the rotation can build off it then they are allowed to. Specialty cards aren’t allowed in this particular game because someone with a handful of skips or draw cards can easily win the game. Got it, hun?”
“More or less.”
And so they set about the three round set. Eclair flubbed an Uno call during the first game, which let Crimson narrowly escape the clutches of punishment once more. Yuu finally met his misfortune when constant draws and skips left his hand ludicrously stacked and he was the last one out. And Reika was once again on the losing side when a sneaky Draw 4 from her brother let him steal victory.
“Well that was a thing.” Reika lamented
“Yep.” Yuu said
Once again the robot maid handed down the punishment slips, with great chagrin from Eclair as her punishment was to spend the rest of the night in a pair of tight jeans. On the other hand, Yuu was subject to a slow rub down--via Evalynn-- and Reika added another performance to her list of tasks.
The look of malicious glee that supplanted Cami’s otherwise innocent face was the biggest indication that she was the one to suggest what had become Eclair’s punishment. Despite the cat’s reluctance and struggles, she was forced into a very form fitting pair of jeans that showed off the curves of her lower body, much to the delight of her girlfriend.
“You’re so mean, Master!”
“You’ve had this coming for a long time!” Cami stated. “Always wlaking around with no bottoms on. I don’t even know how Lala got you to wear panties tonight...”
“Sex.” The two replied flatly in unison.
While those three were preoccupied, Yuu had taken up a seat on the couch once more and Evalynn had straddled his lap to begin his “punishment”. Given the girl’s love of physical contact, her boyfriend relaxed and let her hands sensually roam his body over the cloth. As they continued she was more and more visibly entranced by the action, so much so that she began to draw the eyes of the others.
“Get a room you two!” Crimson shouted in a mocking tone.
“We are techinically in one...” Yuu responded flatly
“I-It’s not like we’re doing anything!” Evalynn said nervously
Embarrassment sullied the elation she had been feeling and she made to move from her perch, that is until she was firmly held in place by her partner.
Yuu glanced over to Crimson before saying, “Nothing to be ashamed of Lynn. At least we know how to control ourselves in public.”
The room went wild with “oh’s” and “burns” as everyone responded to the clapback. Crimson looked to Yuuko for support but the other girl just shook her head in resigned agreement.
“He’s got a point, Red. We do get into some heated situations.”
Crimson sat a spell and had to concede the point herself. “Ok, you win...”
Now the shoe was on the other foot, as the the attacked couple struck the best flamboyant pose they could while seated and entangled, before saying, “[ ] never loses!”
The rest of the room either laughed or groaned at the anime reference as they all settled in to watch the elder sibling’s singing punishments.
The two had settled on a duet to a cover of a Fire Emblem theme and opted to do a partial cosplay of characters from the corresponding game. Via her brand of transformation magic, Lala combed out her hair which turned her normally bubblegum pink locks purple; she then did the same to her sister, turning the other girl’s hair blue. Returning the favor, Reika transformed their clothes into casual facsimiles of Camilla and Aqua.
Abby assisted the two by setting the mood lighting and starting the music, all the while recording them via her internal cameras. The two gracefully fell into their roles, singing in tandem when necessary and tagging off via verse composition based on character. They were met with many cheers and applause when they finally finished, but whereas Lala was free, her elder sister still had another song to perform.
Gracefully she spun until her clothing was now a facsimile of one Pyrrha Nikos. This confused most of the room until the music of Dream Come True started playing and they all figured out the connection. The song and dance really began to amp up when Reika started flirting with Cami in time to the song’s lyrics. Her overt and over the top gestures served to make the girl more than embarrassed enough to regret becoming the second point of attention. Luckily enough, the song wasn’t nearly as long as the former, but the icing on the flirtation cake was when Reika sat upon Cami’s lap and gave her the steamiest kiss she could muster at the moment--much to the cheers of the others.
After all was said and done, everyone began to relax with snacks and small talk and they all gathered back around the screen as everyone chipped in to play the co-op version of the Babel stages in Catherine. It was a pretty relaxing evening.
