Ruby felt hot and nervous, the only secret she had, the only secret that everyone but Skullboy knew...
She knew it would happen eventually, but not like this, this was hardly what she was envisioning every time she played the scene through her head, furthermore, it was switched.
Ruby sat in the tall armchair by the fireplace.
"Breath" She said to herself.
In and out, in and out. Her brows furrowed as she tried to muster up the strength to say it.
"Skullboy I-" she started, but was interrupted.
"Ruby, it's alright, this secret is obviously important to you, why else would you be so stressed about saying it? My point is, you don't need to say a thing, it's fine, I don't mind."
Ruby looked up in shock at the young skeleton in front of her.
"What?"
That was all that managed to escape her throat, which was now dry from heavy breathing.
Skullboy rubbed the back of his turtleneck nervously.
"I could do the dare for you instead...if that would calm you down."
Ruby couldn't believe her ears.
"You would do that for me?"
"Sure Ruby, I'd do anything for you ,I mean, you're always doing things for everyone else." The young skeleton turned a bright hue of red. And cleared his throat."
Ruby blinked and held her breath, the way he said that, was he going to? "Yea" she thought, he is.
Skullboy grabbed one of her hands in his and stroked the back of her hand with his boney thumb.
"Ruby-" Skullboy started, but his sentence was interrupted by a high-pitched yell from an impatient cyclops.
"HEY ARE YOU GUYS DONE MAKING OUT YET? WE'RE GETTING BORED."
