Truth or stupid things
A/n EXACTLY SHARED HER IDEAS WITH ME AND THIS IS ONE OF THEM. ENJOY OUR STORY!
"Okay so everyone knows the rules, right?" Biff's voice was so excited and when he got the appropriate responses from everyone to leveling degrees of enthusiasm he nodded in glee. Joe had shouted yes; Chet had grumbled fine around a mouth full of chips while holding the bag, which Joe then dug into and Frank said okay with a skeptical look on his face.
"Okay so Frank. What are you most scared of?" Joe's eyes got wide, Biff just grinned, and Chet sputtered spewing a few chip fragments around Joe's room in which they had all gathered. Frank just looked plain confused. "Well Frank are you going to answer the question with a truth, or do you take a dare?" Biff's eyes gleamed and Joe suddenly thought that maybe he shouldn't have told Biff that Frank had never played Truth and Dare. Biff had almost gone ballistic and immediately said that they were going to gather in Joe's room after school and play.
Joe highly doubted he would have been able to dissuade his best friend even if he had tried. Besides al four of them hadn't hung out in a while and honestly Joe missed it. So, he had enthusiastically said yes and went to inform Chet and then as all 4 walked homes together he had told Frank. Frank hadn't seen the sense in the game after Joe explained the rules to it but since everybody else wanted to, he agreed. After all he had sorely missed hanging out with Chet, Biff, and Joe all at the same time too.
Lately they had started to drift apart just the tiniest bit and Frank wanted to close that distance so fast it would someone's eyes spin.
"Frannk?" Frank snapped back to attention at Joe's voice and said with a slight tint of embarrassment coloring his cheeks he said.
"Uh I'll take dare." Biff just grinned at him and Joe was reminded of what happened when Biff grinned like that. Chaos usually ensued. Joe paled a bit but kept his mouth shut curious to see what Biff would dare Frank to do.
"Alrigghty then! Lets see what are some good dares?" Biff mumbled to himself as he scrolled through an online list of questions and dares to do on his phone. Joe got scooted across the room to where Biff was, and Biff held his phone out a little more so his best friend could see too. Frank knew he was in trouble when Joe got Biff's gleam in his eyes and pointed excitedly to something on Biff's phone. Frank paled even more when Chet joined the and got a huge goofy grin on his face before giving Frank a mock sympathetic look and scrambled back to his previous spot.
"What is it?" Frank was almost afraid of the dare cause of how excited both Biff and Joe were. It was almost never good when Biff and Joe got that same look it heir eyes. Chaos always ensued.
"You have to go to each of the people in the room and tell them something that you did to them that they don't know about."
"is it too late to pick truth?" Frank's voice was weak, and Joe almost lost it laughing.
"Yep, its too late. Start confessing old buddy." Biff sounded so cheery, and Frank just groaned before grabbing a pillow and throwing it at Biff and Joe who was still laughing. Biff dodged his lanky frame around the pillow, and it hit Joe square in the face right in the middle of a laugh. He started sputtering for a minute and Biff helped him up smacking his back lightly suddenly afraid he had choked on something.
Joe calmed down though and threw a regular (OH it was a very mischievous grin Frank swears it was) grin at his brother. Frank looked at all three of them meekly before turning to Chet and mumbling something which none of them could hear.
"Ehh what was that Frank? I couldn't hear you?" Chet said while Biff and Joe snickered int eh corner. Frank pulled his head out of the pillow and looking anywhere but Chet's eyes he said.
"I was the one who ate all of your Laffy taffy* trademark* when we were 7 and we had that sleep over at your house." Chet's eyes got huge, and Joe stopped smiling for a minute.
"I knew it. I knew it! I told you Chet it wasn't me! I told you!" Joe had suddenly gotten up and was almost shouting and pointing his finger at Frank accusing him. Frank looked at Joe weird and remarked dryly.
"Joe, chill it happened when we were 7. What's the big deal?" Joe's eyes got even huger, and he said.
"Ask Chet." He then sat back down next to Biff who patted his knee in sympathy and Joe refused to look at Frank. So, naturally Frank turned to Chet with a questioning look on his face and Chet gulped nervously.
"Well-uhh yah see Frank. I kinda thought that Joe at all of them and the next time you all came over I kinda didn't let him have any candy. At all. And I only let him have pretzels while the rest of us tried those new chips my mom had gotten us." Chet cringed in memory and Joe looked sulkily at Frank who in turn stared at Joe guilt stricken.
"I-I- sorry Joe." Frank stammered and finally got the apology out before looking at Joe ruefully. Joe didn't answer him but when Biff whispered something to him, he grinned and looking at Frank said.
"If you buy me a bag of the chips which I didn't get to have all is forgiven" Frank sighed in relief and said.
"Sure, what type was it again?"
"Sour cream and onion" Came Biff's reply and Frank nodded mentally noting the name and to buy Joe a bag tomorrow. "Okay, now then do me next Frank!" Biff just grinned at him while Frank desperately tried to think of what he could have done to Biff about which he didn't know already. Frank was horrible at pranks so that was out. Frank hummed out loud as he thought hard about it.
"Oh, you brought 2 pencils to school and I forgot mine, so I took one of them." Frank's face showed a hint of pride at being able to remember something. Biff's face looked confused at best. Joe switched between his brother and Biff before slinging an arm around Biff's shoulders and saying.
"Hey, it happens to the best of us dude. Frank's got ninja like skills when it comes to stealthily stealing school supplies like the dangerous number 2 pencils." Chet snorted in an attempt to curb his laughter and Biff smiled at Joe then turned to frank and asked.
"When was this?" Frank grin turned sheepish, and he muttered.
"This morning in English class." Biff's jaw dropped and Chet and Joe looked at them both then at each other and started snickering quietly. Again. Not quite looking at Biff since he now was kind of embarrassed but the look vanished when Biff started laughing aloud before wiping his eyes and slinging an arm around Joe's shoulders looked at Frank and remarked cheerfully.
"Guess I got Franked huh?" Frank stared at him before he got the pun and he and Chet groaned simultaneously while Joe grinned bigger and high-fived his and Biff's free hands together. their arms still around each other's shoulders Joe stared at Frank smiling and said.
"Hit me with it Frank."
"I used your hairbrush."
"…eh? Come again?" anyone could understand Joe's confusion, and everyone did well except for Frank.
"I said I used your hairbrush a while ago. You put yours in my place and i was too sleepy to notice the difference so I used your hairbrush to brush my hair, okay." Frank huffed painfully and was stunned when Joe said slowly.
"That's it? You used my hairbrush? WHAT! Ugghhh and here I was thinking it was going to be something good." Joe whined leaned his head against Biff's shoulder pretending to be hurt. Biff who was just as crazy as Joe (Again Frank's words not mine) was patted his head I a soothing manner and glared at Frank in mock anger.
Frank just stared at them looked helplessly at Chet who shrugged his shoulders. Frank let out an exasperated sigh and said.
"Well, I'm sorry I didn't do something more drastic Joe. Gosh, who named this game Truth or Dare? Its more like Truth or Stupid things." They glanced at each other before all exploding into laughter that lasted quite a while.
They eventually calmed down though and got back to the game at the end of it. Joe was sitting in Biff's lap and was not allowed to break physical contact 2 hours. They of course make exceptions for the bathroom cause that would have been awkward. When Frank had argued that Joe didn't have to sit in Biff's lap Joe just shrugged and said he wanted to have the full experience. Chet had just laughed uproariously, and Biff seemed simply fine where he was so Frank threw his hands up in the air in defeat.
When Biff chose to dare and had to hold hands with someone in the room for the rest of night and tomorrow, he immediately chose Joe who had gotten off his lap a half an hour ago. Joe had then climbed back on Biff and argued with Frank that it actually was quite comfortable. Frank chose Dare and so did Chet so by the time that they were supposed to go to bed found Joe curled up next to Biff who had his arm wrapped round his best friend in a protective manner.
Frank smiled glad that if something ever happened when he wasn't there to protect his brother that Biff would be. So, Frank couldn't speak all day tomorrow and Chet had to wear a ridiculous hat all tomorrow too. The only hard part at the end of all this chaos was what they were going to tell their parents tomorrow when Frank had suddenly become mute, Chet wouldn't take off a huge floppy sombrero even though it flopped in front of his eyes, and Joe and Biff wouldn't let go of each other.
Yep, it definitely would have been called Truth or Stupid things. But the drift was repaired, and the bond was even stronger than ever so Frank couldn't really complain. Except when he had to communicate with his mom that he wasn't sick or coming down with something which made Chet, Joe, and Biff laugh at the kitchen table while Fenton looked on amused and Aunt Gertrude stared suspiciously at all 4 of the boys and her eyes went wide when she saw Biff and Joe's intertwined hands. She gasped and said.
"Goodness gracious you boys didn't accidentally glue your hands, together did you?" After a minute in which they all wondered where Aunt Gertrude got her wacky but fond ideas from then promptly burst out laughing. Around the laughter and Aunt Gertrude's slightly irritated, confused but fond expression they all took turns explaining the game of Truth or Dare to her.
