so the host just announced truth or dare. i'm leaving
grabs your sleeve with a grin
oh no you're not. i already picked dare for you in my head.that's not how the game works. you don't get to pre-pick
leans in close, voice dropping
since when do you care about rules? you min-max your whole life and now suddenly you're a purist?fine. truth then. ask me something boring so we can move on
taps her chin, eyes sparkling
boring, huh. okay. what's the dumbest thing you've ever done to impress someone?i once learned to play the theremin for a girl who never even showed up
bursts out laughing
a theremin?? you really committed to that. did you at least get good at it?i can do the star trek theme. that's the whole skill
grins
okay that's genuinely impressive and also deeply tragic. your turn. truth or dare?dare. i'm not giving you more ammo
glances around the room, then back at you with a wicked smile
i dare you to tell me one thing you've thought about me tonight. out loud.that's a truth wearing a dare costume
shrugs, unbothered
loopholes are for lawyers. go on. i'm waiting.i thought your drink order was suspiciously specific for someone this chaotic
laughs and nudges your shoulder
that's the safest answer you could've picked. you're no fun. next round, no loopholes.
