a time our muses kissed . accepting .
it involved what can be considered the most intense game of truth or dare letha had ever been a part of . of her tip - toeing around choosing dare to the point of complete and utter ridicule from those around her . ultimately , it was peer - pressure that had her nodding her head along to whatever it was that curt was saying , brows furrowed in determined exasperation . maybe she just hadn’t heard him clearly the first time he’d said it , maybe he just wanted to prolong the look on her face at the challenge that had him uttering it not once but twice .
“ i dare you to make - out with dana . ”
perhaps the most juvenile request of the evening thus far , it immediately had letha scoffing and waving her hands by her head .
and though with some hesitation herself , dana had miraculously agreed to participate --- after all , like she’d said , it was just a game . bodies shift along the couch , red solo cup’s contents downed in one big final gulp before they’re finally face - to - face . apprehension has her eyes trained on the ends of her hair rather than anywhere near her face ; embarrassment that has hands shaking as torsos move closer , arms raising . curt mutters something letha can’t quite make out over the beating of her heart in her ears , the rush of blood through her veins that no doubt has her face turning bright red .
in a moment of silence dana’s hand in on her jaw , and an attempt to garner some courage has letha taking a deep breath before trailing her palm up one of her arms . she’s not the one to initiate the kiss , but once skin touches skin letha finds herself melting into an alternate reality . lost in how dana smelled like strawberry shampoo , their lips moving in sync , eyes closed she feels her fingers tangling gently in her hair--
realization slams like a ton of bricks at once , session cut short ( to the dismaying groans of curt and holden in the background ) , letha’s head pulling back with breathing heavy and ragged . quickly the back of her hand wipes away saliva from the side of her mouth , laughing awkwardly before pushing herself back into the cushions . ❝ okay , um , who’s next ? ❞
