I Dare You
Summary: A game that lead them into embarrassing situations, to the hospital and Emma to take a leap of faith for a dare that may or may not include a hot make-out session with a certain dark-haired, blue eyed guy.
Author's note: This Fic is very much inspired from NigaHiga's I Dare You Game; it's very, very fun to watch, guys, go search it in YouTube.
Emma crinkled her nose in disgust as she watches Mary Margaret gulp down the "shake" she and Ruby procured. The said beverage was made out of the first 3 things Mary Margaret found in their refrigerator—which was Mayonnaise, pickle juice and outdated yogurt.
Now, one would think Mary Margaret's insane for drinking straight up that vile thing, but they were playing a game. A game influenced by a certain YouTube videos by a famous YouTuber—Nigahiga, the "I Dare You" Game. Instead of picking up a dare from a hat, they decided to take turns on daring each other the most ridiculous things, then the players make a vote on how many points they will give based on how daring the dare is, and instead of winning with 10 points, they agreed on 50 points, A reason why the game spanned for almost a day now.
Emma has already forgotten when the game started and who suggested it, she does remember that they were so bored to tears yesterday afternoon after checking out their new furnished house. Her, Ruby and Mary Margaret decided to drink it all out and asked Tink, Aurora and Alice to join them. It might have been a drunk decision, she guessed because Emma would never agree on such a game, considering how boring her life is and how Ruby's mind works. She was lucky, so far only Mary Margaret and Aurora were the firsts to dare her, some of the dares were pretty easy—eat a whole jalapeño and clean Ruby's entire closet (Really, MM? though it took her 4 hours to finish).
"Ugh, that's disgusting." Mary Margaret gagged and wiped the excess of the concoction off her face. "That should earn me at least 5 points." They all argued, Ruby with how she acted like a dog in the park which only earned her 3 points, Alice with the "Do you see the white rabbit?" act (which is really funny because her name is Alice) for 4 points. In the end, they agreed on a solid 10, because they saw a wiggling maggot in the glass.
Mary Margaret rushed into the bathroom and from where they are standing, they could hear her retching. For the whole 5 minutes, all of them stood there looking at each other, waiting.
Then they heard Mary Margaret from the bathroom, groaning, "I'll give 10 points to whoever will get me to the hospital! I dare anyone, please, get me to a hospital right now."
"Bloody hell!"
Killian couldn't help but snicker at his friend's demise, but he wasn't the only one. Robin, David and Victor couldn't contain themselves too, behind him.
"This is not funny, this will never be funny." Will glared at each one of them. "And why the bloody hell does no one aiding me here? You!—"he pointed angrily to Victor. "You're a doctor, aren't you? Bloody help me."
Victor put his arms up. "I'm on a day off, buddy."
"That doesn't change the fact that you have your medical certificate and you have the right to assist me! All you've got to do is pull that fucking piece off of my foot!" he pointed the jagged piece of Lego sticking from his right foot. They couldn't help themselves again and laughed their heads off. "This is your fault, Jones. You dared me!" and oh, how embarrassingly funny it was to explain how a Lego got stuck on Will's foot just because of a dare game gone wrong.
"At least I had the consideration to dare you that, instead of sucking Robin's—"David cut him off with, "Whoah, there, we're in the hospital, there are children running around, mate." Which Killian just smirked off. "I was going to say toes, my dear David."
"It would have been worth at least 10 points, I got a dead toenail there," Robin pointed his foot and even tried taking off his shoes to show it but they push him off balance and he bumped into—
"Boys, would you please refrain from your childish antics before I throw your asses out." It was Regina, the director of the hospital they are in—Queen of Hearts Medical Hospital. All of them shut their mouths up, no one dared to cross the Evil Queen, except—
"Oh, 'Gina, you're free to handle my ass, darling." Robin earned the deadliest glare they had ever seen. Regina shrugged him off and proceeds walking out.
"Hello? I'm still in pain here!" Killian notice Will waving his foot. Victor just slapped it, he's a professional he swear. "Ow! You git! How are you a doctor here? You should be terminated! Mistreating me—"
"Instead of wallowing yourself with misery and pain, Willy bear, why don't you get even?" Killian almost laughed at how Victor addresses Will with wiggling eyebrows and silly nickname when it dawn what he had said to him. Get even—that son of a—
"You're right!" Will looked at him, mischievous glint in his eyes. Killian imagines his mind brewing with devious plans for him and he shudders. "I'm thinking in the lines of stabbing yourself with a surgical knife or drinking any acid here—"
"Absolutely not." Thank all the Gods for David. This is why they are the best mates among the group.
Will raise an eyebrow. "No? fine." He pointed the emergency room doors. "I dare you, Jones to kiss whoever the first person to enter through that door." The satisfied smirk in his face makes Killian want to punch him in the guts then Victor's annoying face. "I can only hope they have a contagious disease."
"Oh, sorry, mate. Tough luck." David patted him at the back. Traitor.
"Well, worst case scenario…old man?" Robin gave him a sheepish smile. He flipped him off and stared down at the door, praying to all heavens that—holy shit.
"Holy shit." He heard Victor voicing out his thoughts.
All heavens above, a golden-haired angel with startling green eyes saved him.
They used Ruby's 1975 Camaro, to drive to the Queen of Hearts Medical Hospital, once they've reach their destination, they hurriedly walked towards the Emergency Room.
"Wait—wait!" Ruby stopped in front of them and spread her arms, in order to stop them too, in their tracks. "What's the score?"
"Ruby! We don't have the time! We're not keeping score right no—"
"You're leading with 28 points, Mary Margaret with 24, Alice 20, Aurora 18, I'm the same and Emma's the lowest with 16 points." Tink answered.
Ruby's eyebrows quirked up. "I got an idea for the next dare."
"Ruby, now is not really the time—" Emma tried to explain but she cut her off.
"Wait, Ems, I've got a great feeling about this. 20 points to whoever kisses the first person she bumps into, inside the ER." Ruby gave them her wolfish grin, eyebrow bobbing up and down.
"I have a boyfriend. " Aurora replied.
"Me too." So did Alice.
Mary Margaret groans in answer. So that leaves Tink and her. They both looked at each other the same time.
"I-I don't think I can do it," Tink stuttered.
"Well, I—"
"Oh, c'mon, Emma, live a little. This is an excitement for your boring life; you always play it safe at everything. Take a leap of faith, my friend!"
"Yeah, right. But at a hospital, Ruby?! What if I kiss someone with—" Mary Margaret lurched forward, Ruby rolled her eyes and pushed Emma towards the doors.
She noticed him first, it's funny it was like her eyes know where to look for, him with his blue, blue eyes (she could tell even though he's across the room). He was staring back with the look of awe and wonder and she couldn't take her eyes off of him for a second. Well, she wouldn't mind bumping into him.
It felt like hours, when she started to move her feet across the floor towards him, there was a force pulling them toge—
"Oof! Sorry! Sorry…" Emma balanced herself first before looking at who knocked into her; it was Regina, Mary Margaret's cousin and Tink's best friend. "Sorry, Regina, I didn't see you."
Her lips pursed and her eyes narrowed. "Clearly."
Emma was about to ask forgiveness for the fourth time when she heard gasps behind her. She looked over at her friends, who looked stricken. Emma saw Ruby hiding a grin behind her hand as she look back and forth to Regina and her, then she realized—
"The first person she bumps into…"
Of-fucking-course.
Emma bit her lip, close her eyes, sigh in frustration and face an irritated Regina. "Well? Are you just going to stand there on my way or are you going to step aside and let me out?"
"Regina, I'm really sorry."
"You already apologize, a lot, Miss Swan. Now—"
"Yeah, for that…and for this." She pulled Regina by the arms, closed her eyes and kissed her fully on the mouth. It only lasted for five seconds, but it felt like eternity. She felt her cheeks burn when she heard audible gasps all over the room. She didn't dare yet to open her eyes, but couldn't help it and took a peek on Regina's reaction. She was obviously flustered and loss of words…
"I-I…Miss Swan—"She also stammers. Emma watches how she fixes her hair, straightens her clothes and her back to a perfect posture, chins up and stared down at everyone in the room. She cleared her throat and glance back at Emma before walking out of the room.
"This day couldn't get any better." Her eyes snapped back to the owner of that comment and found herself staring at the blond guy beside blue eyes (yes, she already named him, Blue Eyes). She also took notice of his other companions' reactions but she only focused on his. He was awe-struck at first but he snapped out of it and smirks, looking at her openly now—with interest (was it?) in his eyes. Emma felt herself blushing and turned around hiding it. Instead faced her gaping friends, Aurora look scandalized, Alice stricken, Tink's jaw-dropped (who wouldn't? she kissed her bestfriend!), Mary Margaret looking green (but it might be because she really was sick or because she freaking kissed her cousin) and Ruby, gaping but eventually slowly turned into a grin, into laughing her ass off the floor.
"Oh, God! Oh my God! You did it!" and continue laughing. Emma's going to totally wring her neck for that. She moved towards her.
"Ruby, you little bitc—" Mary Margaret who she didn't notice looking greener than before, puked in front of her.
Great.
Fucking great. Emma groaned into her hand when she found herself situated on Mary Margaret bedside—which is right next to blue eyes' friend Will (she heard the name when the shut him up from whining). She could feel his presence behind her and she does not dare look back. It was embarrassing enough to kiss Regina in front of everyone, now she reeked of Mary Margaret's lunch and the dreadful shake before. She has already set her mind not to speak a word to him neither to look not even a peek at him, that's her plan. Then, she's going to kill Ruby. But a few minutes into settling Mary Margaret into the bed, his friend, Robin (she thinks his name is) popped in front of her and shook her hands.
"Congratulations on your lip-locked with the queen, you are quite lucky, your lips graced upon hers—"
"And that's his greatest ambition for his entire life. Never achieved it." The other blond guy of his group sauntered towards them and offered his hand to her. "I'm David by the way." He looked over her shoulders to where Mary Margaret is lying on the bed. "I hope your friend gets better." His smile was so comforting she smiled back and turned to look at Mary Margaret, whose gaze was fixed on him, smiling oh-so-sweetly, and eyes fluttering slowly. Her friends notice it too, 4 pairs of eyebrows rose.
"And my name's Victor." Ruby almost let out a shriek when he suddenly spoke beside her without a sign he was standing there. "At your service, Milady." He gave Ruby a flirting smile which Ruby mirrored.
"Ruby. And these are my friends," Ruby started to introduce them. "This is Mary Margaret, careful, she might puke on you—"she received a glare from her. Ruby just laughs it off. "Tink, a nickname, because she really do look like the annoying pixie right?"
"Hey!"
"And this is Aurora, already taken; her boyfriend's a real life prince. So does Alice here." Both of them smiled politely, Alice gave a little wave. "And our star player—" Emma rolled her eyes. "—Emma Swan." She nodded at the guys still avoiding blue eyes' well, eyes when she noticed him staring at her.
"I'm Robin, that guy over there whining is our dear friend, Will and boy wonder here is Killian."
"Pleasure to meet you." God, he has an accent! A sexy accent! "Especially, Swan."
That's when she finally looked at him, how her name roll of his lips—sinful, like how he looks at her right now (Don't you dare blush, Emma!). Like before, she felt the pull. He was just so magnetic.
Someone cleared his throat. All of their attention turned to him. He was rather a small man with a white coat on, stethoscope around his neck and Emma thought his name tag read, "Doc?"
"Yes, you can call me that." He pushed his glasses up his nose. "Mr. Scarlet, we will be with you shortly, after we pull the piece of Lego off, we only need to patch it up and you're good to go." Then he faced Mary Margaret. "Miss Blanchard, I will have to ask you to stay for a few hours. It is good to let everything out of your body now. And I highly advise to never drink a…" he read something at his clipboard. "Mayonnaise-pickled-yogurt shake, most especially if the yogurt's already expired. That is all." He nodded and walked off.
There was a bubble of silence surrounding them before an eruption of laughter burst it.
"A Lego? Really?"
"Expired yogurt? Really?"
"But—but, Lego!" cue uncontrollable laughing here.
"What? She drank a shake with Mayonnaise!"
"Oh, my God! Wait-wait, wait! Everyone shut up!" Ruby's booming voice shut them all up. "What the hell are you guys even doing? Legos? How old are you?"
Victor piped up and explains. "We were playing the 'I Dare You' game we found on the internet. Will, here, was dared to jump on Legos from 4 steps of stairs—"
"4? I did 6 steps." Alice snorted and crossed her arms, face showing how proud she was to herself.
"We didn't saw there was a broken piece, until Will—wait, 6 steps?" David stopped and looks at the girls with bewilderment. "You're all playing it too?"
"Yes, that's why I'm lying here, ejecting everything. " Mary Margaret answered. "That Mayonnaise-pickled-yogurt earned me 10 points." She grinned at David.
"And Emma got 20 points for kissing Regina, the first one she bumped into here." Tink perked up. Now everyone's attention is back to Emma, she nervously laughed and looked away.
"Well, at least I'm leading now, with 36 points." She sheepishly smiled and shrugs her shoulders.
"How many points needed to win your game?" Killian asked.
"Winner needs 50 points, how about you guys?" Aurora answered and asked back.
"50 too, Killian's leading with 43, Victor's 39, David with 36, Will is actually neck on neck with Killian with 42 points and I acquired 40 points." Robin answered looking over to Will who they just noticed being patched up by the nurses. They were ready to go.
Emma didn't want to know why she was disappointed by the fact. She glances at Killian and saw him already looking at her.
"Well, good luck with your game then." She wasn't aware she whispered that without breaking eye contact.
"Yeah, you too, love." He replied.
"Wait, wait, wait." Victor put his arms over Killian's shoulder and their gazes broke apart when he looked back at his friend, annoyed. "We can't go yet without Jones completing his dare."
"Yeah, mate." Will, now propped up on his bed, said smiling at him. "It's for the win."
"Sorry, we're lost here. What's the dare?" Ruby asked them, hands on her hips.
"I dared him to kiss whoever the first person to enter through the doors." Will points at Emma. "She was the one who did."
Her friends gape, mouth forming an 'o' shape as they watch her and Killian. While Emma's eyes drifted from Will's haughty ones to Killian's blazing ones. And—oh God.
He pulled her with such force that her hands instinctively looped around his neck and he was kissing her. He. Was. Kissing. The. Freak. Out. Of. Her. She felt the erratic beat of her heart, the buzz in her head, his hands tightening the grip on her hips and she gasps, opening her lips for his tongue to dive into hers. She moaned and deepens the kiss. Everyone around them be damned.
It felt like years before they pull apart, gasping for air. She didn't notice her hands gripping tightly on the lapels of his jacket nor how wrecked they both look. She was only aware of his breath against her skin and how she aches to kiss him again fervently.
"That was…" Oh, God, his voice. She would kiss the hell out of him again because of that voice—but they were in a public place, in a freaking hospital, with children most definitely around.
She's the first one to let go and step back, and it didn't make her smile when he unconsciously followed, his blue eyes still fixed on her swollen lips. She stared back at his.
"I give that a perfect 100 points."
"I'll give it 200, that was hot."
"69 points, eyow—ow!"
They finally pulled apart from each other, looking at their friends arguing what score points that kiss was worth. That kiss ruined her. She looks back at Killian, eyes still unfocused. Ruined him too.
"Whatever! Jones wins anyway, and he got to make out with a hot girl!" Victor whined. "Not fair!"
Killian cleared his throat and fixed his hair (Whoah, I ruined his hair too?). "Well, I won, what do I get, then?"
"Well, Killian," Ruby pointedly look at Emma. "I think you get the girl."
Emma almost got flustered, but thought better of it instead roll her eyes, gave Killian a soft, shy smile and her friends a wide grin.
(They exchange numbers with the guys, with a promise to play the game together some other time. Emma grinned at how ecstatic Mary Margaret looked when David asked hers. Emma also beamed when Killian asked for a date. Tonight.)
(She dared Ruby to streak for the win afterwards.)
(She did.)
