*Puts on Glee recap voice*

Last time on....
💜🐺 My Darkest Secret 🐺💜

Maya fell asleep on Xander's shoulder during an extra Science Class, because she studies History, Politics and stuff and not Science.

The two of them watched Some of the LOTR: FOTR, but were interrupted by Cami and Chris, who you find out are Xander's twin siblings.

They play truth or dare and Xander has to drink a glass full of like, sardines and chocolate and cheese and other disgusting stuff that makes him throw up- naturally. Which causes Maya to feel like she threw up which makes her almost realized that something's up.

But then Brody and Mara come in and stop her before she makes the connection. Then they decide They want to play Truth or Dare, but because they're able too, they have to drink beer if they don't wanna answer a question or do a dare.

And that's what you missed on... Gleeee.

*Speaks normally again*

Im joking, that is what you missed on My Darkest Secret. That was fun ok then... To the story.

~~~~~~~~~~~~*°*°*~~~~~~~~~~~~

Brody's POV

"Ok, ok, ok, ok. Who goes first?" I ushered, watching as Maya and Xander stopped laughing with each other and looked at me.

"I'll go first." Mara declared, before looking at all of us intently. She finally zeroed in on Xander,

"Truth or dare." She looked down at her manicured nails, waiting for his response. Xander thought for a moment before responding.

"Dare." He smiled confidently, while Maya watched him intently, smirking at his choice.

"You..... You need to smell Brody's armpit." Mara grinned out, causing me to stifle a laugh before speaking up,

"I have showered in two days.... You, are gonna suffer so much." I chortled.

Maya's POV

"You..... You need to smell Brody's armpit." At this, I cringed slightly before putting on my usual smirk.

Struggling to contain my laughter, I looked over at Brody as he spoke,

"I have showered in two days.... You, are gonna suffer so much." At this, I burst out in laughter, tilting to the side as I continued to laugh, a mixture of sleepiness and happiness taking effect. Falling over, I landed onto Xander's lap, as my laughter died down, I looked up, to find Xander's gaze on mine, smiling down at me. I smiled back, tilting my head to the side, before swinging back upright, in an attempt to hide the blush that was forming on my face.. Brody and Mara were looking at each other, Brody looking slightly concerned, while Mara looked proud about something, causing my brows to furrow.

"Ok, let's just get it over with, Brody get your arse over here." Xander called out, causing Brody to look over at him.

"Nope, your dare, you have to move."

"You are gonna pay for this."

Xander got up, and walked over to Brody gingerly, watching as Brody lifted up his arm dramatically.

"Sniff me."

I giggled uncharacteristically, stopping myself just as fast. Xander took a smell of Brody's armpit before feigning a gag.

Xander plopped back down by my side, before looking at each of us deciding who was to go next. His mesmerizing, deep blue eyes darted to me before settling on Brody,

"Brody, You know the deal, truth or dare?" Xander smirked as if he was about to admit he was some sort of evil villian from a cringy film.

'Hang on hang on hang on... You do realize that you just called Xander's eyes 'mesmerizing', right?' Cora interrupted,

"Shut up." I dismissed, unaware that I had spoken aloud. All eyes were on me as I felt my cheeks turn red, causing me to shuffle behind Xander to hide my face.

"Someone say something!" I squealed eager to move on from my blunder. I could tell that everyone was still looking at me, causing me to squeeze my eyes shut and bury my head into Xander's back.

"You lot are all horrible people." I mumbled, determined to stay like that until someone continued.

"Errm, er, Brody, truth or dare." Xander finally continued, as I stayed behind him.

"Dare? No, truth. No, Dare..... Ok truth." He finalized,

"Ok, when was the last time you cried?"

"Well, I haven't cried in years. The last time I cried was probably when Mara got attacked by a rouge last year." Brody mused, I could tell instantly that he was lying.

"Liar." I mused, my voice barely coherent because of my current position... What can I say, I'm comfy.

"What?"

Sitting upright, and shuffling back to beside Xander, I repeated myself.

"Ho- Why- How... I mean errm, I'm not lying?" Brody stammered in shock.

"Let's try again, the truth this time."

"Last Friday." Brody sighed.

"What! Why?" Mara looked clearly worried, while Xander just looked amused.

"There was no more lasagna left."

Mara looked at him unimpressed, while he decided on who he would ask. Suddenly, his face lit up as he smirked at Xander, then at me. He looked at Mara who began to nod rapidly in aproval.

"Oh Maya." Brody sung out, "Truth, or, Dare."

I raised an eyebrow at him before I replied,

"Dare, I guess." I shrugged.

"You, need to kiss Xander."

"Say what?" Xander had turned a bright red, as he spoke. My eyes widened a fraction, while my heart fluttered. It was a kiss, so why did I become nervous. I forced a sigh, before looking to Xander.

His face was tinted pink, and his eyes were trained on Brody- a look of desperation clear on his face. He looked toward me, and his cheeks flushed more. I smirked. Knowing that he was nervous, made me feel less so. Leaning in toward him slightly, I tilted my head up, the ghost of a smirk on my face. I could hear a heartbeat beating rapidly, wether it was mine or his, I didn't know.

I pressed my lips to his, my hand moving to his neck. And now, it wasn't The four of us, in a game of truth or dare. No, it was just Xander and I, everything else became irrelevant, every creeky floorboard, every leaf rustling in the wind. None of it. I felt his hand move to my cheek, as we finally broke the kiss. My hand dropped from his neck as I sucked in a breath, keepin my eyes shut. I turned to face Brody and Mara, finally opening my eyes to find the two of them grinning madly.

"Done." I whispered, resisting the urge to touch my tingling lips. I didn't dare look at Xander, instead focusing on how my heart had slowed down and was now peaceful.

I knew I messed up the second I stayed at their lunch table on my second day in town. But I had been fooling myself, convincing myself that I wasn't attached, that I didn't care for them. That I could leave them when the time came....

Now, I wasn't so sure.
