Billie noted Logan eyes on her form once she was in her underwear, and she damn near snatched his shirt out of his hand when her eyes fell upon the tattoo on his back. She paused midway through buttoning up his shirt and looked it over. It was intricate and very interesting . “Nice ink.” She said, and when he said that he had drawn it, she smiled. 

Finally she got his pants and pulled them on quickly, curling herself up when she sat down again to regain body heat. The involuntary  giggle that left her at Logan struggling with her pants didn’t go unnoticed by Clary , who was  also laughing. Colette even began to laugh, and that was when Billie noted the hushed conversation  at the other end of the room. Alex’s smile was bright and for a brief moment she could have swore she saw an exchange of a warm, vibrant sea foam light and a complimentary yet familiar flame orange between Jordyn and her brother. She shook her head before levitating the shot glass back from Alex once he downed them. 

Then Logan passed off shot duty to her, and with a wave of her hand the shots began pouring themselves. However, what took her off guard was Logan’s dare to Jordyn. Kiss her? “are you taking notes from Clary, doll?” Billie asked him before she heard two gasps once Jordyn walked over and kissed Billie briefly. Clary had gasped and so had Colette.

“I totally didn’t think she would do it. My word! Jo, you fit right in here!” Clary smiled, and Colette just sort of looked between Billie and Jordyn. Billie’s face said it all. She was shocked, but Colette could see she wasn’t angry or anything. Just in a rather large state of shock.

“What’s the matter, Bill? Cat got your tongue?” Alex chimed, shooting a look over to Jordyn. He placed an arm around her when she moved closer to him. “I do have to say one thing, Jordyn. I have never met anyone that has left Billie that confused. Kind of refreshing.”

He placed a kiss to Jordyn temple before listening to Jordyn and Clary. “Oh, I will definitely take dare.” Clary said, now wanting to get Jordyn more buzzed. However, her dare wasn’t something she was used to. Billie had been the one for pure public humiliation  with a side of just straight up evil, but never anything physical. Clary had to really think about this. Everyone in the room had more than human strength.

Logan was a vampire, and on top of that she wouldn’t put him in that situation , nor would she do it to Alex either. Even though it was a dare both of them would have felt horrible for it and she knew it. Billie was just down right scary, but she also had telekinetic  strength and she had never seen her physical strength. She didn’t know Jo too well, but she had heard of the fae crowd  being a little rough depending on the breed. Then there was Cole. And since Billie was going to get asked the question next she looked to Cole.

“I choose Colette.” She said and Cole gave a look.

“Sorry man, I’m a non violent type.” Cole said, lighting up a new joint, but Clary gave her a look.

“I promise I can take it!” she pled, “It’s either you or Billie.”

Billie finally snapped from her thoughts, her eyes had been trained on Jo and Alex. “Cole, it’s okay. It’s just a game. Clary obviously chose you for a reason.”

Alex spoke again, “Cole doesn’t have to either, Billie.”

Cole, however, got up and Clary stood before her. “Alright, let’s get this over with.” Cole said, and Clary nodded, concentrating on her form.

“Okay, I’m ready.” She said, and with that Cole reared back and hit Clary in the shoulder and Clary stumbled back, but before she could break anything, she broke her concentration and nearly phased through the floor. She came back rubbing her shoulder. “Note to self, next time pick Billie.”

“Are you okay? I’m sorry.” Cole frowned, offering her joint to Clary as she sat beside her.

Clary refused the joint with a polite head shake. “I’m alright, but damn you hit hard.” She said, and after a moment or two, she noted the shot glasses being filled. “Alright Billie,” Clary began turning to Billie who was quiet cute curled up next to Logan. “Truth or dare.”

Billie thought a moment, “Truth.” She said.

Clary had assumed she heard dare, “Alright, I’m going to get you back good this time, I dare you to…” Clary paused  after the comprehension of Billie’s  answer. 

“What?” the tone of surprise came from Alex. “Billie the daredevil picking truth?”

Billie shrugged . “I got to change it up every once in a while. Keep you all on your toes.” 

Clary had not been expecting this and she paused. She now actually had to think. [I]Billie Sanders had [b]picked [/b] truth.[/I] She could essentially get any answer out of Billie if she didn’t opt out so she actually had to choose her question wisely. She’d take the point for this opportunity any day. 

“Umm… okay.” She thought hard for a moment, her eyes seeing how pleased Billie looked at throwing her off. “Alright. I got one. Why is it you won’t go after what you really want?”

Alex looked to Clary and then to Billie who had fixated her with a look. “And I want a good explanation because you know EXACTLY what I’m talking about.” Clary said, and she saw Billie’s  eyes briefly flutter to Logan. Her hand waved and the shot glass she had taken down earlier had come to her hand. “So that’s it, you won’t answer?”

“I’ll answer  you, I just need another drink is all.” Billie said, taking the shot and sighing. “Because I think I know what you are talking about, it would complicate things. Any time I have ever gone after what I really want I either get burned, quite literally, or I end up hurt in the end. So I choose to not let it happen, even if it kills me knowing that there is that small chance it would all work out.”

Clary looked at Billie who levitate the shot to her and Clary took it. Billie was drunk, obviously. Clary was just expecting her to take the shot and be done. Even Alex looked surprised, and Colette broke the silence that had grown.

“New game, people. I call it, like the humans do, puff puff pass.”

-

There was movement in the bed. Billie could feel it once a cool touch came to her face, however, she kept her eyes closed. It was Logan she knew. After the game she had given him back his pants, but hijacked his shirt Alex leaving his friend one of his shirts at the foot of Billie’s  bed for Logan. It was nice to be wrapped up in his arms, but then he was out of her bed. Pretending to be asleep, Billie just curled up more, drawing the fabric of Logan’s shirt closer to her. It smelled just like him and she loved it.

“shh…” a hushed female tone came from the cot that Billie had set out for Cole. Alex had passed out with Jordyn beside him, and Clary had taken off after Logan had fallen asleep. Cole and Clary had talked for a bit before she left too, before Billie had fallen asleep even. So hearing Cole was no surprise. “Billie just fell asleep a few hours ago. I left her a note, wanna walk with me back to our dorms? I was gonna ask Billie, since I have been having issues with some of the crowds around here. Normally don’t care, but I need my Morning Glory before I deal with the shit for the day.”

Billie couldn’t believe it. Cole was sober, and once the door shut, Billie sat up and noticed they were gone before cuddling up more in Logan’s  shirt, smiling at the smell.

(Sorry Alex doesn’t have a major role in this one, but it will change once he and miss Jo wake up.)
