Author's notes: Thanks to DarkExperience from Fell's Church Fanfiction Site for the idea of continuing this story. It's not beta read, since I didn't want to wait posting it. So please don't be too harsh with critics.I decided to continue this story. Jeremy will have an encounter with every guy of Mystic Falls. I'll try at least. It makes sense without painting Jeremy as a slut or anybody cheating on somebody. It's a challenge I set myself...

Kiss of Dare

.

.

Not long after his history essay Jeremy was invited to a party thrown by someone he didn't really know at all, but since nearly everyone was coming, he was going, too. Elena, her boyfriend and her girlfriends were there as well, and Jeremy first didn't quite know what to do. As a known loner and former druggie he didn't have any friends, but shrugging it off Jeremy took a bottle of beer and sat on a window sill, observing as the party proceeded.

Amused Jeremy watched as Damon crashed the party as well, ensuing tension from Elena and barely concealed annoyance from Stefan. After he got another bottle of beer Jeremy continued to observe the party, having found a new game for himself.

Since his first guy kiss with Alaric – and Jeremy was soo glad that the teacher didn't made any remarks about this – Jeremy had begun to look after guys as well. Of course he took great care so that nobody would be the wiser. Jeremy didn't want to stand out even more as a gay, especially since he wasn't gay, just bi. He was getting better at accepting this side of him, mainly because he thought he would have much more options to chose from than otherwise. At least he could check out many more partygoers than before. He discovered that in a guy he preferred the masculine type. Strong jaws, muscular shoulders and a tight ass was definitely his thing.

After a few hours of slow drinking Jeremy was getting a little tipsy nevertheless and most of the other people dancing on the floor were getting quite drunk as well. Suddenly he heard his sister squealing.

"Yeah, let's do this. But we need another person."

Before he could flee, Elena came straight up to him and dragged him back.

"What's going on, sis?"

"We're going to play truth or dare. It'll be fun, Jere. That's something you desperately need."

Jeremy saw the whole round waiting for them, while Elena babbled a little about the rules they made up. His sister was obviously drunk, but Jeremy was glad that she finally was able to enjoy her life again. He sat down next to Caroline. Naturally there were Bonnie and Stefan, Matt, Damon and another girl with a name he couldn't quite remember.

They laughed a lot as the usual questions like first kiss, loss of virginity and dares like kissing, stripping and singing and so on were played out. Even Stefan, the guy who always seemed so laid back and brooding, was laughing and having fun. Surprised Jeremy couldn't help but watch his face, seeing for the first time why his sister was so enamored with him. When Stefan laughed, his green eyes were sparkling and Jeremy felt the now very familiar heat rush in his veins. In situations like this he cursed his hormone-ridden teenage body.

He was brought back from his contemplations, or more like daydreams, when Damon of all people asked him:

"Truth or dare, Jeremy?"

Looking up into the other brother's face Jeremy wanted to choose truth, always the safer option, when he saw that smirking face with the knowing eyes. He got the feeling that Damon knew more than he would like and thus, he decided on dare.

The smirking got even more pronounced as Damon declared the dare:

"I dare you to kiss my little brother for at least 30 seconds."

Everybody was jeering and laughing, clapping on Stefan's and Jeremy's backs as they were pushed in the middle. Even Elena was smiling, not caring in the slightest in her state that her boyfriend would have to kiss her little brother.

Jeremy gulped nervously, but there was no backing out now. He should laugh it off to make nobody suspicious. Since it was his dare, he gathered all his courage.

"Okay, I'll do it, no biggie."

He kneeled in front of Stefan, grabbing his face gently with one hand. Stefan just looked at him reassuringly and Jeremy leant forwards, catching his lips with his own. Stefan's hand was on his arm, squeezing it as if to say that it was okay.

While the others were loudly counting the seconds, Jeremy got lost in the feel of the cool and soft lips against his. His eyes locked with those green ones and it took all of his control to not deepen the kiss. It was a long half a minute and Jeremy couldn't help but breathing in Stefan's scent. It was manly, for a lack of a better word, a mixture of aftershave and woods.

When the last second was called out, Jeremy let go of Stefan and sat back in the circle. He couldn't help the blush rising in his cheeks while the others catcalled.

"Nice kiss, kid," Damon was leering, while the others smirked and laughed.

Wanting to sink down in the floor Jeremy picked Caroline next, hoping to deflect the attention on him. Glad at the bright smile Caroline gave as she chose truth Jeremy asked her about her biggest embarrassment and was more than glad when Caroline told an elaborate funny story.

Once again back on the sidelines Jeremy thought back to that kiss, wondering how much better it would have been if deepened. He looked up again into Stefan's kind face with that gentle smile and the kissable lips. At least things won't be awkward with him as well. Maybe he should find someone to really experience with. With those thoughts swirling in his head Jeremy was too distracted to notice the pondering smirk on Damon's face.
