HI! I am a really big StarKid fan and meeting the team motivated me to write an RPF fic. I know its suuuuper short, its my first ever fic so bear with me. More chapters on the way!
Team StarKid had all retired back to the tour bus after a kick ass Apocalypto ur show in Los Angeles. Everyone was in a great mood, and Dylan pulled out some champagne and vodka to pass around. "let's celebrate, you guys!" as the bottles were passed around, the alcohol started to go to everyone's head, and soon Jamie held up an empty bottle and called out "were never too old for truth or dare!". Everyone agreed and the bottle began spinning. Throughout the game, Joe kissed Meredith, Darren admitted that he once made out with a fan, Brian told a story about a fan who stalked him, and Joe fessed up that he had been drunk for one of the Los Angeles shows. Finally the bottle landed on Joey Richter and he chose truth. After a little bit if thought, Brosenthal asked him if he had ever had feelings for any of the StarKids who were in the bus right now. "uhm, actually yes" he answered, looking at the bottle in his hands and taking another drink of the liquid inside, trying to give himself something to do besides look at Lauren to gauge her reaction. "ooooooh, who!" Jamie squealed. "nope, you only get one question." Joey said, relieved that he didn't need to provide an answer. She was sitting right next to him, there was no way he was naming names. Of course, just his luck, the bottle landed on Lauren next. She picked truth as well. With the encouragem ent of the alcohol in his system, Joey boldly asked her "who do you think is the most attractive male StarKid in this bus". Joe immediately y turned to Meredith and said "me, obviously" , spurring a heated argument between him and Brolden. Amidst the fighting, Lauren quietly answered, so that no one but Joey could hear her. "um...you. "
Joey froze, in shock. The way she was looking at him...that was Not the way a close friend looks when they admit they think another friend is good looking. No. Those eyes are sparkling in a way that frightened Joey. There was no way she could actually have feelings for him...he couldn't be that lucky. The two starKids had been staring at each other for so long that the rest of the team, quite tipsy, had either fallen asleep or taken their arguing somewhere else (Brian and Joe) "really?" Joey asked, still hesitant to accept how she was looking at him. "Yes" Lauren replied, feeling shy despite the champagne in her system. "I've always been attracted to - I mean...I meant I've always thought you were attractive..." embarrassed at her slip-up, Lauren looked around at her sleeping friends and muttered "so...should we keep playing?" Joey smiled. "yes, I think we should." he spun the bottle, and stopped it when it pointed directly at Lauren. Then he looked into her eyes and said "I dare you to kiss me."
Lauren turned a deep red color and looked down at her hands in her lap. she was so scared to kiss him, after liking him for so long...what If this was just a game to him, a one time thing just for fun? She wouldn't be able to handle that. she said "I- I didn't say dare." Joey placed a finger under her chin and lifted her face up to look at her. "I don't care" he replied, and leaned forward until their lips met.
