Sorry for the long wait. Hope you guys are having a good March!

On with the story!

"Hey," said Serena, walking over to her seat. Darien and Andrew were already there. "Can I ask you two a personal question?"

"Both of us?" asked Darien, raising an eyebrow.

"I'm doing a survey," she said, holding up a textbook. "It's from my ethics book; I'm doing a paper on it so I thought I could do a survey for support."

"Sounds simple enough," said Darien, shrugging. He pulled one of her hair buns. "Anything to get you to do homework." He laughed when she stuck her tongue out at him.

"Dare can go first," said Andrew.

"Sure," said Darien, turning his seat to her. "Lay it on me."

"Awesome!" Serena got out her notebook and pencil. "What's the biggest lie you ever told?"

"Wha—wait, what?" Darien inched back his chair and scratched the back of his head.

Andrew laughed watching his friend squirm. "Yeah, Dare," he said, nodding his head. "Tell us what you're lying about."

The raven haired man glared at his friend's taunts.

"It's only two questions," said Serena, showing him the question sheet. "What's the biggest lie you ever told? and Why did you tell it?"

"Oooh," cooed Andrew, smiling. "There's a why portion. Personally I'd like to know why you're lying, too."

"Wait—you're lying right now?" She looked at him surprised, eyebrows furrowed in confusion. "What're you lying about?"

Darien cheeks pinked. "It's nothing—don't worry about it—"

"No, no," interrupted Andrew. "Do share, Dare. Enough with the lies—tell her the truth."

"Her?" She looked back and forth between the two males. "You're lying about a her?"

"See," said Andrew, leaning in towards Serena, "Dare's lying about—"

"About," interrupted Darien, "whether 'Drew's safe or not at this current moment. Chances are pretty high I'll sock him one." He glared at his friend, an amusing sight with his flushed cheeks.

"Just tell her the truth," pleaded Andrew. "This is the perfect time!"

Darien scoffed at him, trying to hide his blush with his hand. "It's not a lie!"

"Lying by omission is still a lie," said the bartender, folding his arms.

"That's true," she said, flipping through the pages of her textbook to show him the section on it. "See?"

"Case closed," agreed Andrew.

Darien let out a harsh breath and bit his lip.

Serena watched as he nibbled on his bottom lip, gripping her pen tighter.

"Alright," said Darien.

"W-what?" The blonde pulled her eyes away from his lips back up to his face.

"I'll answer the questions," he said, turning to her.

"Oh, okay," she nodded her head.

"Success at last!" cried Andrew. He rubbed his hands together, leaning in closer.

Darien glared at his chipper friend.

"Can I answer the Why? first—the second question?"

"Sure," she said, shrugging. "They don't say we have to go in order."

"Alright." Darien looked at her, pausing to make her look up from her notes into his eyes. Making sure she maintained eye contact. Blue against blue.

Serena licked her lips, feeling nervous all of a sudden. She felt heat crawling into her cheeks.

"W-why?" she asked him.

"Because," he said, "I didn't know what the outcome would be; if the truth made things uncomfortable, then I wanted to continue living the lie. Does that make sense?"

"I.." She let out a breath not knowing she was even holding it. Licking her lips again, she nodded her head. He followed the head movement, his eyes narrowing to her now glistening lips. "Yeah," she said, "that makes sense."

"Mhhmm."

Darien turned his head towards the sound, seeing the blonde bartender nodding his head. There was still a grin on his face, eyes glimmering waiting for Darien to answer the first question.

"The answer to my first question," said the raven haired man, still staring at Andrew, "remind me what it is again, Meatball Head."

"What's the biggest lie you ever told?" she read off her sheet. She looked at the Darien, who looked at Andrew.

"The biggest lie is," he said, glaring at the bartender. "Well, let me think—"

"Just say it!" begged Andrew.

"You want me to say it?" asked Darien. He caught a glance at Serena. She stared up at him.

"Go ahead and say it!" pleaded Andrew.

Taking a deep breath, Darien sighed. He turned toward Serena, pulling at her free hand. Holding within his own larger hands, he gave it a squeeze. She looked up at him.

"My biggest lie is that," he paused to lick his lips. Her eyes followed the action before she glanced back up at him.

"Yes?" she whispered.

Darien gave her a small smile. "Is that I'm going to kill Drew."

"Finally!" cheered the bartender, shooting his arms into the air. "Yes—wait—what?"

Darien leapt over the counter, growling. "You're dead!"

What'd you think? Will Andrew still be alive for future drabbles? XD
