A/N: Okay, here it is. My first TorD Flash Fiction submission. Neener, neener!
Flash Fiction Challenge
Truth or Dare
Is That a Jelly Bean on Your Tongue or Are You Just Happy to See Me?
"Think it'll work?" Jennifer asked John as they entered the rec room. The others were already there.
"Trust me." John told her with confidence. "He thrives on challenge."
Though she was skeptical, Jennifer agreed to the plan. "Hope you're right. Nothing I've done so far has worked."
An Hour Later
Give or Take
"Again? I've already gone twice!" Rodney complained.
"Too bad, Meredith." John said with glee. "Truth or Dare?"
Rodney rolled his eyes and huffed. "Okay. Um…truth." It was a silly game but Teyla wouldn't be dissuaded and it was her turn to choose. She'd tried to get them to play Who Would You Rather but was voted down unanimously.
"You can't choose truth because you've already done that twice." Evan reminded him.
"Who made up that rule?"
Teyla shifted in her seat. "I did."
"Oh. Dare."
John flashed Jennifer a thumbs up behind his back. "Okay, here's the dare…Rodney, you have to eat a jelly bean…"
The physicist was shocked. He'd expected something much more embarrassing. "That's not so bad…"
"…off Keller's tongue."
Now Rodney gulped. "Wh-what?" John started to repeat what he'd said but stopped when Rodney's hand came up. "Never mind. I heard you."
Jennifer took a jelly bean and placed it on her tongue. Rodney stood in front of her, hands on her shoulders. He leaned close and as he did, she rolled it farther into her mouth. Her eyes flashed him a challenge knowing he would not be able to resist.
Without hesitating, he covered her mouth with his, swirling his tongue inside her mouth until he got the bean and kept kissing her until John tapped him on the shoulder.
"Show us the proof."
Rodney showed them he now had the bean and applause erupted. But he didn't care. He'd kissed Jennifer and it was so worth the humiliation.
