This one really turned into something (โธโธเน ฬซ เนโธโธโธ)
I'd love to do the other houses sometime, but this one ended up longer than I expected XD
โHey, Cap~โ Leo approached Alan while the latter was working in the garage. Alan slid out from beneath the car to peer at Leo, blinking from the sharp light after only having the flashlight held in his mouth to see with.ย
โDare you to kiss her.โ Leo crossed his thumb and forefinger to make a heart and inclined his head toward you. You had just arrived to talk to Sho about his new menu design. You werenโt paying attention to Leo or Alan, both of whom harbored a competitive crush on you.ย
โIf youโre too chicken, you have to give up on her for good.โ Leo was too smug with his ploy to knock Alan out of the running. He didnโt know how to curb his own relentless teasing, which bordered on cruel rather than flirting, and had nothing but disdain for Alanโs quiet pining. He was smarter and more charming than the captain, yet Alan was the one you made for eyes at when he reserved one of his rare smiles for you.ย
Alan thought it would be better if he did stop harboring these fantasies about you and move on. He had no idea how, since he rarely caught feelings for anyone.ย
If you shot him down from this, that would force him to move on, although he didnโt relish the idea of Leo swooping in to claim you. He didnโt trust his vice-captain to treat you right.ย
Alan dusted off the oil from his hands, aware he hardly looked presentable.ย
He was in an undershirt and jeans since it was Friday afternoon and he was free for the weekend.ย
He considered his approach a moment, watching you from across the garage.ย
โOh, and donโt tell her itโs a dare. Or do. I donโt care if you fuck this up. In fact, I hope you do.โย
โI wonโt.โ Alan made his way over to you and Sho. He was willing to wait until you were done, hoping he had more time to consider his approach, but Sho turned away from you to jot down some notes for the new design.ย
โHey, Alan.โ You looked up at him, smiling a little wider at his casual attire. You rarely saw him so exposed since he made it clear he didnโt want you near the Pit. It was a shame, youโd have loved to watch his shirtless matches against Sho.ย
โHey.โ He stood by you awkwardly, his mind frozen over what to do next. โCan I kiss you?โย
โWhat?โ You gaped. You were sure you heard him wrong. You wanted to say yes, but you were too stunned by what you heard.ย
โCan I kiss you?โ He repeated. A deep flush crept up his neck and he lowered his gaze to the ground.ย
โYes?โ You said uncertainly, sure there was some sort of trick at play that you were missing.ย
Alan placed his hand on your jaw and bent down to give you a chaste, but lingering kiss. He was all warmth and gentleness, that softness of his lips that was taken away too soon for your liking. You shared a longing look, both wanting more but afraid pushing too much would end up pushing the other away.ย
โThanks.โ His blush had reached his cheeks and he could no longer look you in the eye, but his lips curved up into that almost smile that was just his and it made you even more breathless than feeling his lips against yours. You licked your lips and started leaning forward just from the memory when Leo approached with a jarringly loud slow clap.ย
โWowwww, you actually did it. Good job, I guess. Do you want a treat? Oh, nevermind, you already got one.โ Leo frowned at Alanโs hand still resting on your jaw.ย
โIf you didnโt want to see it happen, you shouldnโt have egged him on.โ Sho had finished his notes and watched from the sidelines. His expression was unreadable until he saw how angry Leo was that Alan didnโt back down. โShouldโve dared yourself to kiss her, has-been.โย
Leo gaped at Sho before collecting himself enough to pout and whip up a retort.ย
โDude, I havenโt even peaked yet. I just told Alan to go first so he wouldnโt have to follow me up and get embarrassed.โย
โHard pass until you fix your attitude problem, Leo.โ You booped his nose, smiling at the way he was flushed with anger and jealousy.ย
โEven if he dared you to kiss him too?โ Sho asked.ย
The repeated use of dares made you realize something. You looked to Alan with hurt written on your face.ย
โIs that why you kissed me? Because he dared you?โย
โLiar. I totally dared you. Filmed it all too.โ Leo turned his phone to you, the video starting when Leo approached Alan under the car. Alan engulfed the whole phone in his massive hand, covering the screen so he could get your attention again.ย
โI kissed you because Iโve wanted to. It happened now because he dared me.โ There was a pleading look to him, or perhaps guilt in case you felt he didnโt want you. That it was all some joke.ย
โI see.โ You crossed your arms. The high Alan gave you was stripped away, and you wished you were anywhere else.ย
โWho do you think is the best kisser of all of us?โ Sho asked, sensing your mood drop. โWe donโt have anyone we can ask, unless youโre willing to be our judge?โ There was a warm twinkle in Shoโs eyes, challenging and playful. You looked to Alan, still feeling how genuine his kiss was and worried he would feel rejected if you accepted the role. Guessing your thoughts, he steeled his expression.ย
โDonโt do it if youโre uncomfortable. But if you arenโt, Iโm not backing down.โ Alan smiled, as if invigorated by the opportunity. His zeal was surprising, but you werenโt about to question him.ย
โDo you dare me to judge you?โ You asked Sho, who smirked.ย
โIf I have to, yeah. Consider it a dare.โย
โThen I want a blindfold,โ you said. โI may be biased.โ
โBandana,โ Alan said.ย
โYeah, yeah, I got it.โ Sho slipped the bandana off his head and approached you. โDonโt complain if it smells like sweat.โย
It didnโt. It smelled like his shampoo and him. Part of you relaxed when darkness settled over you. Stray tickles on the side of your head made you shiver when Sho brushed your hair, careful not to tangle any while he readjusted the knot.ย
โGround rules?โ Sho asked.ย
โNo touching below the shoulders,โ Alan said.ย
โWhat?โ Shoโs fidgeting fingers along the bandana froze. He jerked a little, as if he turned to look at Leo for his suggestion.ย
โGot something in your ears? I said this is a French kissing competition.โย
โYou okay with that?โ Alan asked in a way that let you know he was asking you. Satisfied, Sho stopped fiddling with the bandana and stepped back. The banana didnโt block out the weight of the silence or their expectant gazes on you.
โFine by me. Bring it on.โย
โCalm down, itโs not a boxing match,โ Sho chuckled.ย
โNot until Cap goes in swinging because he doesnโt know what to do.โย
โI wouldnโt-โ Alan was shushed and their conversation devolved to whispers as they discussed who would go first.ย
โReady, Honor Roll?โย
Silence followed, your nerves and excitement swirled in a whirlpool. A hand rested on your shoulder, then touched your chin to angle your face up. His lips descended on yours, exploring and teasing.ย
He felt like home. Inviting, irresistible. Exactly what you needed at the end of the day. His hands were no longer touching you, except when his arm brushed past your hair, like he was bracing himself against the wall you leaned on.ย
His kisses coaxed your mouth open and his tongue slipped past your lips. That delicious tangle of tongues made your knees weak. You slipped your arms under his and pulled him closer, so he was flush against you. He froze, then you felt him smile. If it was against the rules, competition be damned. You were completely lost in him until an alarm chimed and he pulled away. You leaned forward, wanting to follow one of the best kisses of your life, but he caught you by the shoulder and kept you in place.ย
You composed yourself, wiping your lips and entered another purgatorial limbo while the next one came forward.ย
You knew who it was the moment he touched you. That strong, rough hand covered nearly half of your face, touching you as if you were a priceless treasure made of glass. But his kiss wasnโt like the last one, and that gentleness ended when his lips touched yours. It was all hot breaths and hunger, claiming your lips like they were his salvation. His hand came to rest on the back of your neck, and your head was angled sharply up when he forgot why he bent down in the first place. He was focused on showing you the words he never dared speak, how much he needed you. The frustration of restraint that shattered when it was having you that was at stake.ย
When his tongue met yours, you had to brace yourself, wrapping your arms around his strong back to stay on your feet. He was inexperienced, but far from unskilled. His kiss was like the tide, roiling low and high, making you sway until you were adrift in an ocean of raw desire.ย
That infernal beeping came again and you almost didnโt let go. You nipped his lip as he pulled away and heard the hint of a chuckle carried on his sigh.ย
Isolation returned as soon as all contact was broken. It was jarring, especially when you were trying not to lose your balance to the airy feeling stirring in you. It must have been the blindfold, combined with the knowledge of just who these men were, even if you werenโt supposed to be able to tell them apart.ย
A thumb swiped your bottom lip. That was all you felt for several moments after his hand came to rest along your jaw. He seemed to enjoy the sight of your parted lips. So much so that you heard a camera shutter from nearby.ย
โOops,โ a familiar impish voice said, close to your ear. You didnโt have time to tease him, or speculate that he made himself known on purpose. He kissed you like he knew he was the best and was out to prove it. He did as much as he could in that short time, capturing your bottom lip between his and pulling back until it slipped with a wet pop. He dove back in, all tongue and skill. His chest brushed against yours, as if he was begging you to hold him. And as eager as he was, you did. His hoodie was soft, cushioning the lean body underneath. He took that as permission to lean against you, pressing you between himself and the wall. He kissed you straight through the alarm, and you felt him reach into his pocket to silence it without breaking contact. There was nowhere for you to move away if you wanted to, but he was pulled away by his hood, yelping when it dug into his throat.ย
โTimeโs up.โ Alanโs gruff answer carried a warning.ย
โYou can take the blindfold off now, senpai.โย
You did, blinking at the brightness of the garage. They all looked at you like eager puppies, except Leo who also had the audacity to look smug.ย
โYou donโt have to say it. We all know who won,โ Leo said.ย
โYou sure about that?โ You asked. โIt was a lot closer than you think. I honestly canโt decide.โ You shot him a toothy grin, eating up his pout when you didnโt jump in to tell him he was the best.ย
โNot another, โeveryoneโs a winner,โโ Sho groaned. He was being good-natured about it, like part of him didnโt really want to know.ย
โOkay, fine. The winnerโฆ Is me.โ You gave them a cheeky wave and strolled out of the garage. You honestly had no idea who to choose. Your heart broke a little at the idea of letting any of them down by choosing someone over them. You could be convinced to answer it honestly, but it would take a few more tries.ย
