Chapter 61: Playing the Game, Part 1
Everyone finished their pizza and Kurt showed them the en suite so they could rinse their mouths out before they sat down in a circle on the floor, Puck helping Artie to join in the circle.
"Okay, so," Kurt said, as he pulled a sleep mask out from his bedside table. "Who wants to start us off?"
There was silence as everyone looked at each other.
"Come on, someone has to be blindfolded first." Kurt said, walking back to the group.
"Hand it over, White Boy." Mercedes said, sighing when no one else wanted to take the initiative.
Kurt walked behind her and carefully placed the mask over her eyes.
"Okay, you're covered." Kurt said, walking to his spot on the floor. "Remember, you can't use your hands, only your lips. You can tease the blindfolded person with your lips and teeth, if you want to. But no hands to give it away."
"Okay, Mercedes, you ready?" Sam asked.
"Whoever has my name better pucker up and kiss me already." Mercedes said.
Everyone watched as Tina slowly made her way to the black girl. She carefully leaned forward and pressed her lips to the other girls'. Tina tilted her head, letting her lips slant over Mercedes's lips, and Mercedes kissed back. Tina drew back after a moment before settling back into her spot.
"Okay, M. You can remove the mask." Kurt said.
Mercedes pulled the mask off and looked around.
"Who kissed you?" Sam asked.
Mercedes looked around at the group, touching her lips.
"Well, the lips were soft. Obviously a girl." Mercedes said, removing her fingers from her lips. She looked down for a second and raised an eyebrow before lifting her head. "And she had lipstick. Thanks, Tina."
Mercedes looked at Tina, who facepalmed herself.
"I forgot I was still wearing lipstick." She said.
"Okay, who wants to go next?" Mercedes said, holding the mask.
"I'll go." Rachel said, and Mercedes passed the slep mask over. Rachel secured it over her eyes, and waited.
"I'm ready." She said. As she waited, Brittany crept her way over to the Jewish girl.
Brittany pressed her lips to Rachel's and kissed her briefly, and returning to her spot.
"Can I take this off?" Rachel asked, fingering the eye mask.
"Yes." Sam said.
"Who do you think kissed you?" Mercedes asked.
"Uhmm." Rachel looked around. "I don't know. It's a toss up between Quinn and Kurt."
"Sorry to disappoint, Rachel, but it wasn't me." Kurt said.
"Yeah, and I got someone else as well." Quinn added.
"Well, it wasn't Santana, and Tina just kissed Mercedes..." Rachel trailed off.
"Can we just tell her?" Tina asked.
"It was me." Brittany said, bouncing on the spot.
"Okay, never would have expected that." Rachel said.
"Can we have one of the boys now?" Brittany said.
"Yeah, one of the guys now." Santana agreed.
"Okay, I'll go." Mike shrugged, reaching for the mask.
"Good job, Honey." Tina said, as Mike put the sleep mask on.
"You ready, Mike?" Artie asked.
"Totally. Go for it, whoever you are." Mike said.
Sam moved forward beside Kurt.
"Sorry, Babe." He whispered as he went past Kurt to Mike.
"Oh, this is too easy." Santana said, rolling her head back on her shoulders.
"Satan, would you shut up, please?" Kurt snapped.
Sam shot Kurt a look of apology before lightly pressing his lips to Mike's. Mike welcomed the kiss, even opening his mouth so Sam's tongue could enter. Kurt watched his boyfriend kiss Mike for a minute before Sam pulled back and returned to his place beside Kurt.
"That was hot." Kurt whispered as Sam took his place beside him.
"Okay, mask off." Tina said, and Mike obliged.
"I'm gonna go with...Mercedes?" Mike guessed, looking at the black woman not far from him.
"Sorry, Hun. Wasn't me." She shook her head.
Mike's eyebrows lifted as he looked at her.
"Huh, I thought it would be." Mike said. "Who was it that kissed me?"
"Me." Sam said, his face a bit red.
"Huh. You're not that bad a kisser." Mike said, nodding in approval. "You're lucky, Kurt."
"Thanks, Mike." Kurt said; it was his turn to blush. "Uh, next?"
"I wanna see another boy get kissed." Rachel said. "Finn? How about you?"
Rachel turned to her boyfriend, who looked up at her and the group.
"Uh, I guess so." Mike tossed Finn the sleep mask, and Rachel helped him put it on.
"Can you see anything?" Rachel asked, waving her hand in front of the mask.
"No, nothing." Finn answered.
"He's good to go." Rachel said.
Mercedes got up and made her way to Finn, Puck catcalling as she did. Mercedes shot Puck a glare before leaning in to quickly kiss Finn and heading back to her place.
"Uhmm, that was quick." Finn said, removing the mask. "Quinn?"
"Not me." Quinn shook her head, pursing her lips.
"Seriously?" Mercedes said. "You should know what her lips feel like."
"I'm guessing it was you then?" Finn asked Mercedes sheepishly.
"Of course it was me!" Mercedes threw her hands up in the air before reaching for a wine cooler.
"Sorry." Finn said. "Who wants to go next?"
"Pass it over, man."
Kurt and Sam smiled; Puck had just volunteered.
Time for payback phase one to start.
