“Fine by us,” Aiden says with a chuckle as he wraps his arm around Leila’s shoulder, since they don’t drink.

“Cheaters,” James murmurs, before he sits back down, beside his husband. “I’ll go first.” He clears his throat, tapping his chin, and then sits up straight. “I once threw a can at an old woman’s head, I once wore my underwear for a week straight, and I like balls.”

Grayson lets out a scoff. “Are any of them a lie?”

“It has to be the first one,” Madeline says, blinking. “Right?”

Lucas laughs, shaking his head. “You’d be surprised,princesa.”

Carter squints at his boyfriend, pursing his lips. “I don’t even know this one.”

Aiden slaps his hand against the table. “The second one,” he says. “I’m calling it.”

“Final answers?” James asks, drumming on the table as we nod. “It was the second one,” he says, which makes a couple of people groan as they pink up their drink and take a sip. “I would never wear my underwear for more than a day, are you kidding?” he says, like he’s actually offended. “I’m not Grayson.”

Grayson narrows his eyes at him. “I’ve never once done that.”

James scoffs. “Sure you haven’t,” he says, throwing him a wink, which makes Grayson shake his head in confusion.

“Wait a minute,” I say. “You threw a can at an old lady?”

He scoffs, nodding. “Hell yes. This old bitch cut in line at the supermarket, and was rude as fuck. I had to put her in her place.”

We all watch him, our mouth dropped open. “James,” Lucas reprimands him, like he would a child.

“She was fine,” he says with an eye roll. “The ambulance showed up right away.”

The air is quiet as we all stare at him, until Aiden clears his throat. “Okay, moving on…” He straightens his back, tapping on the table. “I’ll go next. I can recite the entire script ofHigh School Musicalfrom memory. I got into a fight with a bear, and I won a hot dog eating contest for eating fifty hot dogs in under five minutes.”

“The last one,” Grayson says. “For sure. There’s no way you can finish that many hot dogs.”

Gabi sputters out a cough. “Did you guys forget the second one? He wouldn’t be able to survive.”

“You never know,” Grayson replies. “He has muscles and shit.”

Leila scoffs. “They’re not that big.”

Aiden smirks down at her. “Just say you want to kiss me and stop flirting with me in front of our friends.”

Leila rolls her eyes. “You wish.”

“Pssst.” Gabi whispers, getting Leila’s attention. “You know the answer, don’t you?”

Leila’s lips twitch. “Might do.”

Gabi’s eyes widen. “What is it?” she asks. “Tell me and I’ll give you my first born.”

“I’m good,” Leila replies, amused. “I’ve already got two children.”

Gabi lets out a loud gasp that raises the attention of everyone at this bar, placing a hand on her chest, dramatically. “You’re saying you don’t want my child?”

Leila laughs with a shake of her head at Gabi’s antics.

“It’s definitely the bear,” I pipe up.

“I second that,” James says with a nod. “The bear.”

“Fuck it.” Grayson lets out a sigh. “I change my answer. I say the bear, too.”
