"Popcorn ready?" Green asked as he held up a list and pen in front of himself.
Red nodded. Two bowls were placed next to each other on the countertops. Four bags of popcorn were piled neatly next to the bowls.
Green checked off Popcorn on his list and looked over the rest of it. "Everything else is ready…now where are they?" He grumbled as he glanced up at the clock that hung above the stove in the kitchen.
They happened to be none other than Gold and Silver. And as per usual they were late. The four boys had set up a long night of hanging out a few weeks ago. Green grudgingly called it a sleep over. He had no intention of letting that cock block in his house for a single night. But Red wanted to hang out with them.
Green sighed and leaned back against the countertop. He set the pen and piece of paper behind himself as he wiped his face free of any look of anger or anxiety. He had no idea of what the following night was going to hold in store for the four of them. Nor was he too excited to find out. The least he could was humor Red and let him have his fun and suffer the night over.
Little did Green know the night was going to be one hell of a ride.
A familiar knocking noise echoed through the house and Green sighed again. Before he could even get out of the kitchen Red grabbed his hand and walked him into the living room and shoved him on the couch and held out one finger. Almost like he was ordering a puppy to 'stay'.
Once Red knew Green was going to comply he turned on his heel and walked out of the living room to welcome their guests in.
"Red!" Green heard Gold's familiar, yet annoying voice and he imagined him patting Red on the shoulder. "It's been a while!"
A few seconds later Green saw a familiar blur of red as Silver walked into the living room, Gold on his heels. Luckily he hadn't moved from the position of how he landed after Red had pushed him onto the couch. Green had a sneaky suspicion if he weren't sprawled out on the couch Gold would have sat down next to him. He grinned; he had stayed like a good boy now that he thought about.
Instead Gold and Silver sat down in the Love Seat nearby. The gym leader couldn't help but feel the irony when they sat down. They had been dating for quite a few months now.
A few seconds later Green sat up when Red entered the room. He positioned himself in the middle of the couch. Red sat down and leaned against the arm of the couch, throwing his legs over Green's thighs and faced the two newcomers in the room. It was quiet for a few minutes and the sound of the clock ticking in the kitchen behind Green could be heard.
"So." Gold leaned back in the love seat. "How's it been?"
And just like that the four of them hit off the beginning of the night. They talked for a good thirty minutes before Greene excused himself to go make the popcorn. Red followed and grabbed a few cans of soda for the four of them to drink. They watched a movie and included their own commentary majority of the time. Then they quickly found it boring and sat in silence again.
"I've got something we could do." Green thought out loud as he started aimlessly at an empty can that sat in front of him on the table.
"What's that?" Silver questioned. He sat with his leg crossing his other and arms crossed, leaning against the back of the love seat.
"We could play Truth or Dare." Green suggested his idea and glanced up at the other three who stared at him blankly.
"That's a kid's game-" Silver began.
"That sounds like fun!" Gold quickly cut off his boyfriend.
Red just merely shrugged.
"Alright. I'll start it off then!" Gold chimed. "Red!" He pointed at his senior. "Truth or dare!" He grinned mischievously.
Red stared at him and thought about it for a second. "Dare."
"Uhhh…" Gold was taken back. He wasn't expecting Red to pick Dare. He sat back, leaving a bigger impression in the couch then he did before. Finally his eyes lit up with an idea and he grinned. "I dare you to say something in a sexy voice in Green's ear."
Green's face flushed slightly as he jumped in surprise. "Wait, what!" Of course he wasn't about to say he was against the idea. In fact he couldn't help but thank Gold for the dare but he didn't want Red to say anything provocative in front of them. As he sat there confused he felt the weight on the couch to his left shift slightly and turned to see Red on his hands and knees crawling over to him.
The former champion leaned in closer, his breath slipping coolly passed Green's ear, giving him chills of anticipation. "Oh baby, oh baby." He whispered in a low raspy tone in the gym leader's sensitive ear.
A red hue consumed Green's face even more so than it had earlier.
Satisfied with himself, Red sat down next to Green and buried his face in the crook of the gym leader's neck. He blinked and looked out at Gold and Silver. Silver had a tint of red on his face. Gold, however, was confused.
"I didn't hear it!" Gold pouted. "Do it again."
Red shook his head. "You never specified how loud I had to be."
"Is that what he says to you?" Silver asked.
Finally catching his bearings, Green coughed. "Sometimes. Usually he just moans and makes noises. I'm lucky to get a few words out of him."
Silver blushed hysterically and held a repulsive look on his face. "That…that wasn't what I meant…" He closed his eyes. Trying to forget what Green had just said.
Green felt the pressure of Red disappear off his chest and glanced down at the raven head. Red's mouth was slightly agape and his face was completely flushed. Yet somehow Red had made it look like Green had double crossed him. Green couldn't help but snicker a little. "So, Red." Green attempted to control his laughter. "You get to pick the next victim. Whose it gonna be?"
Red plopped his face down against Green's collar bone and sighed. After a few seconds of thought he pointed at Silver.
"…me?" Silver pointed his own finger at himself. Red nodded.
A grin crossed over the gym leader's face. "Truth or dare dude."
Silver huffed and looked off to the side. "Dare." He answered almost immediately.
"This is boring." Gold yawned. "It's no fun if we are all just going to choose Dare." He kicked off his shoes and pulled his knees up against his chest and hugged them.
"True…" Green sighed. He wrapped his arm around Red's shoulders and sighed. Gold was right if he knew them all like he did they'd all choose dare. Of course there was nothing wrong in that aspect, it made the game more fun. But there was no point in including truth unless… "Have you guys ever heard of Double Growlithe Dare?"
"Double Growlithe Dare?" Silver questioned. "No. I can't say that I have." He looked over at Gold and the boy just shrugged. And in turn both boys looked at Red who shook his head. "What is it?"
"Basically Double Growlithe Dare is where you dare the extreme things. And if the person you choose doesn't do the dare you picked for them they have to do something like shave their head." Green narrowed his eyes trying to think if that was the right way to explain it then nodded to himself. He rested his chin on Red's head.
Gold made a face. "I don't want to shave my head though." He pouted as he pursed his lips.
"We could always come up with something different." Silver suggested as Gold pulled down his hat.
"I suppose that could work." Green thought out loud. He glanced over at the younger couple. "Although what do you suggest we do?"
"Joey"
"Huh?" Green, Gold and Silver all said at the same time as they stared at Red who had been fairly silent until now. A glint of light shimmered in Gold's eye as he pounded a fist on his palm.
"I got it! Whoever doesn't do their dare has to train a rattata for a month and call Joey every day to tell him of its progress!" Suddenly the smile disappeared from his face almost as face as the glint in his eyes appeared a few seconds ago.
"Not a bad idea." Green grinned sheepishly. None of them liked the idea but it was a good one nonetheless. "Red you choose since we left off with you in Truth or Dare." He nudged the teen that leaned against him.
Red thought for a moment as he glanced at all the individual's in the room until finally his scarlet red eyes lingered on someone, Silver. He pointed at the red head with his index finger. "Silver."
Silver hesitated, obviously taken aback at being the first one to be chosen. "Me?" He asked still unsure.
Red nodded.
"This is gonna be good." Gold snickered as he laced his fingers behind his head and leaned back onto the couch.
