Chapter 5:

The Dare

The rest of the week passed in a blur and before I knew it, it was Friday.

Since the movie night, things had been...different between Su-san and I. For one, he was a lot more affectionate towards me. Instead of only holding my hand when I was in need of help, he seemed to hold my hand for none other than the plain and simple fact that he wanted to. It baffled, yet excited me.

We never talked about our almost kiss, but every night when we would say goodnight to each other he would still kiss my forehead. Leaving me confused with a red face and a frantically beating heart. On one of these such occasions my mom was watching (spying) from the living room window. When I walked inside she just smiled at me and gave me a "Are you sure there is nothing going on between you two?" look. Even I couldn't deny there was definitely something between us.

On Friday, Lukas stole me from Su-san's car again, claiming to need my help setting up for the party and that we would see him at 7. Once inside, he dragged me up to his room and closed the door.

"You didn't really need me to set up for that party did you?" I asked tentatively, sitting on Lukas's bed.

"No. I didn't," said Lukas, "I brought you here to make you look fabulous for the party tonight, cause heaven knows you'll need my help."

"Thanks." I grumbled sarcastically. Lukas walked over to his closet and started pulling out things and tossing them over to the bed where I sat.

"Here. Put these on." Lukas said, pushing me towards the bathroom.

Once I closed the bathroom door behind me I looked at the clothing Lukas had picked out for me. There was a pair of black skinny jeans paired with a black tank top and a light blue plaid short-sleeved button up. He had also given me a pair of light blue converse and a white beret to go with it. I pulled on the clothes, deciding the leave the button up open. Finished, I checked myself out in the mirror. I have to say, I looked damn good. The jeans fit me like a glove and the shirt accented my eyes surprisingly well. The hat also gave me an air of adorableness that made me blush.

After I finished checking myself in the mirror, I gathered my clothes and went back into Lukas's room. When I entered he gave me a once over before nodding in approval.

"Here." Lukas threw something at me, that I caught clumsily. I looked down at the object and found it a thick, white, cross necklace that was almost a choker.

"Think of it as an early birthday present." Lukas said, winking before fastening his own cross-shaped barrette in his hair, pinning back his bangs.

"Thanks." I said blushing, clasping the necklace around my neck.


"I dare you to give us a show of your favorite Justin Bieber song."

Mathias looked at Li with a challenging look in his eyes before getting up on the nearest table and started swinging his hips while singing horribly off-key.

"You know you love me, I know you care. Just shout whenever, and I'll be there. You are my love, you are my heart. And we will never, ever, ever be apart."

I died laughing at watching Mathias's ridiculous display. Despite all my earlier worries, the game had gone off without a hitch and everyone seemed at ease with one another. The game had also proven interesting. So far, we've found out that Emil prefers briefs to boxers and had that fact confirmed after he paraded around the living room in nothing but a red pair of briefs decorated in miniature puffins, Li cat-calling him the entire time. We also learned Lukas believed in and apparently dabbled with black magic. That thought reminded me of that British kid with the huge eyebrows at our school who was constantly muttering stuff about the spells and incantations he would use against the loud American that hung from him all the time.

" And I was like baby, baby, baby, oh! Like baby, baby, baby, no! Like baby, baby, baby, oh! Thought you'd always be mine, mine!"

We'd also found out that Mathias's favorite guilty pleasure was listening to Justin Bieber, which had let to his current predicament. He had gotten off the table after being scolded by Lukas and had, much to Lukas's displeasure, turned to serenading him instead. Mathias was dancing around Lukas, throwing him winks and kisses and would occasionally stop and grind on him. Even though Lukas was scowling, I could still see a light blush dusting his cheeks from the attention.

"When I was thirteen, I had my first love. There was nobody that compared to my baby. And nobody came between us, no one could ever come above."

I turned discreetly in my spot to look at the silent Swede beside me. So far, he had escaped being picked by the bottle and I was wondering what kinds of things he would have to do for us once chosen. I smiled at the thought of Su-san being made to break out of his normally quiet shell and actually cut loose.

"Now I'm all gone, gone, gone, gone. I'm gone."

Everyone whooped and hollered as Mathias finished his song. He made a show of bowing deeply and planting a kiss on Lukas's cheek before plopping down in the spot beside him. I didn't miss the blush on Lukas's cheeks darkening substantially.

"Okay! My turn!" The Dane smiled wickedly and spinned the bottle hard.

We all watched as the bottle made several revelations around the group before finally stopping of Su-san. Berwald looked slightly mortified about being on the other end of the bottle, only imagining the horrible things Mathias could draw out of him.

"Sweet! I got Waldy! Hmmm, what should I ask." The Dane muttered to himself, stroking his chin thoughtfully. "Oh! I got it! Have you ever kissed anyone before?"

Su-san visibly paled at the question, and avoided his gaze. I could have sworn I saw his eyes briefly flicker towards me, an action that did not go unnoticed by a certain Norwegian, before muttering something under his breath.

" What was that Berwald? I don't think we all caught that." Lukas said, eyes gleaming with mischief.

"No. Ah hav'nt k'ssed 'nyone." Su-san muttered, now blushing slightly while still avoiding everyone's gaze, including mine. I also blushed at his admittance thinking to a few nights before and our almost kiss. That would have been Su-san's first kiss? Granted it also would have been mine, but he wanted to give me his first kiss? I blushed deeper at the thought.

"Really now?" Mathias shouted excitedly, grabbing the bottle again and poised to spin it again.

"Well then. I dare you to kiss..." and with that he spun the bottle with a lot less gusto than last time. We all watched on bated breath as the bottle made slow revelations around the circle. Each spin seeming to take longer than the last. After what seemed like hours but was most likely only minutes the bottle came to a crawl. In, what felt like, slow-motion the bottle came to its final resting place. I felt my breath catch in my throat.

I looked around the circle to gauge everyone else's reaction. Lukas was smirking, Emil seemed uninterested, and Li and Mathias were both hollering with laughter. I slowly brought my gaze over to Su-san, who was still staring at the bottle, seemingly frozen in place. Slowly, he brings his gaze up and locks eyes with me. We both just stared at each other, hardly registering what Mathias said next.

"TINO!"

I glanced at the bottle and noticed that it had in fact not moved since I last saw it...pointing directly at me.
