Truth or Dare
At first Myka refused to play.
From what she remembered from her childhood, no good ever came from a seemingly innocent game of Truth or Dare. Especially if that game included Pete, Claudia and the new guy, Jinksy. However, after one look at Claudia's pouty face and Pete's warm, puppy dog eyes, Myka found herself agreeing to play "just for a few minutes".
Like most games of Truth or Dare it started out innocent enough. Silly questions were asked like, "Who was your first crush as a kid?" and "If you could use any artifact, free of consequences, what would you use and why?"
The dares were light hearted and fun. Jinksy was forced to sing "Keep on Loving You" into a soup ladle, Claudia prank called Artie who was wrapped up at the Warehouse and not too pleased with the interruption and Pete was dared to put on some of Lena's jewelry and strut around the front room doing his best impression of Mrs. Fredrickson.
Then, like most games of Truth or Dare, some of the players started getting bored. The popcorn was gone and Pete had already demolished the cookies that Lena had left out for them. Myka was just about to suggest that they start another movie, something silly to keep the mood light and fun, when the game took a hard left turn.
"Truth or Dare, Myka?" Claudia asked, grinning in an unholy way that gave Myka chills.
"Ummm…dare," she said, mostly because it was expected of her since she had stuck with truth for the entirety of the game.
"Alright," Claudia said, taping a finger against her chin in a mock thinking pose, "I dare you to kiss Pete."
Raising her eyebrows, Myka leaned over and pecked her partner of the cheek before anyone had time to react. When she pulled back, Pete stared at her with wide eyes then smiled so wide Myka was worried he'd break his face.
"You didn't even argue," he said, wiggling his eyebrows. "You want me, don't you. Don't deny it."
"You think I'm sexy, you want to date me," Pete sang before yelping loudly as Myka punched him in the arm.
"Right, and who's the one who thinks I'm hot? And pretty," Myka asked, referring to their last case.
Pete just stared at her, mouth gaping like a fish as he searched for a comeback.
"Dude, you said what?" Claudia asked, leaning forward in excitement, "By the way Myka, I meant a real kiss. Not some lame ass peck on the cheek."
Myka shrugged the winked at her friend, "You didn't specify. Guess you'll have to wait for the next time I choose dare."
