Dare

"Aren't we a little too old to be playing truth or dare?" Kelsi groaned lightly, burrowing her face into the pillow she had clutched to her chest.

"Too old?" Bekah scoffed lightly, waving it off, "You're never too old. Right, Kim?" The petite asian boy glanced up from his score of Beethoven's 9th Symphony at the mention of his name, scratching the back of his neck lazily as he shrugged.

"I guess?" His gaze immediately flitted back to the score and he became immersed again immediately.

Bekah nodded in triumph and her gaze turned eagerly back to the other two in the room, their faces holding matching expressions that vaguely resembled two deer caught in headlights. Ryan leaned a bit towards Kelsi, his elbow bumping into hers.

"Why is your roommate obsessed with, you know, us?" He whispered, and she shrugged in return.

"Beats me. Just always answer truth--it's not like we're going to tell her something we don't already know."

Ryan sighed lightly as he turned his attention back to Bekah, feeling just slightly unnerved as he found her gaze on him.

"So, Ryan..." Bekah started, her lips curling into a smile, "truth or dare?"

The choreographer glanced quickly over at his best friend, relaxing immediately at the sight of her soft smile. The word "dare" had tumbled out of his mouth before he even had the chance to think.

Ryan may not have noticed the excited squeal elicited from Bekah's mouth, but he did notice how Kelsi's eyebrows shot up suddenly in surprise and confusion. He didn't hear Bekah call out his dare, but he hadn't really needed to. Ryan reached out one hand, brushing it over Kelsi's cheek lightly before he pulled her closer and leaned in simultaneously. It was a quick kiss, one that to anybody but the two of them would have seemed platonic, but it still managed to take their breath away.

"Why'd you chose dare?" Kelsi murmured lowly so only the two of them could hear, "You could've said truth." Ryan winked at her, shrugging a shoulder nonchalantly.

"The dare choice seemed more appealing. So Bekah," He tore his gaze quickly to look back at Bekah, raising his voice so that she could hear him too, "truth or dare?"

I was going to try to stay away from Truth or Dare for this one, but alas... here's what happened. Haha, oh well. I still like how it turned out, methinks. This one was 377 words. Oh, and as for Kim--the original purpose was for him to be Ryan's roommate, but I never stated it so... But yeah, he's going to become another recurring character in these drabbles methinks. :)
