(Keefe's POV:)

After a round of dares, it's my turn again.

"I dare Keefe and Tam to spent 20 minutes in the bathroom together."

"LINH!"

Tam flicks Linh in the face.

"What? I didn't say you had to DO anything."

I shrug and stand up, heading for the bathroom. Tam follows me.

"Sorry about her.."

I shrug.

(Tam's POV:)

Keefe leans against the sink, watching me. I lean against the door.

"This is going to be a looooong twenty minutes, huh?"

"Sounds about right."

I shift uncomfortably, remembering the feeling of Keefe's arms wrapped around my neck, biting my lip softly. Despite myself, I can feel my face warming up. Keefe's smirk fades.

"Did anything.. happen?"

I blink.

"What do you..?"

"This morning.."

"Oh, uh.."

"Did I do anything?"

"Huh? No!"

I'm usually pretty good ay lying, but now I'm fumbling under Keefe's steely gaze. He looks about as suspicious as I feel. He straightens up and walks towards me. I take a step back, and realize that the door is blocking my escape.

"Keefe..?"

He pins me to the door, looking dead into my eyes. I suppress a shudder.

"K-Keefe..?"

The echo in my hand stirs in interest.

He flips down my collar, revealing the line of hickeys from this morning. He groans.

"Tam.."

I look at my feet, unable to meet his gaze any longer.

"You were half asleep.."

He lets me go, running his hand through his hair.

"I'm so sorry.. Tam.."

He steps back.

"No.. Keefe.. it was an accident.. that's all it was."

I pull him into a hug, and he collapses into me.

"It's okay.. it isn't your fault.."

We sink to the floor, my arms are around him, and he bites his lips, as if he's trying not to cry. Should I.. I glance at his lips. No.. that would make it worse.. but... Before I can decide anything he stands up, pulling me up with him. His lip is bleeding. I wince.

"Are you.."

He nods.

"...Okay..."

I look down at my feet; not sure what to say. He does the same.

"I'm sorry.. about yesterday.. I shouldn't have.."

I look up. Keefe is blushing, which -of course- makes me blush too. 

"It's fine.. I.. liked it."

Wait- What did I just say?! Did I just say I LIKE making out with him?! Ugh.. things couldn't get any worse than right now.. I cover my face with my hand.

"Uh.."

I risk peeking through my hand, and I see Keefe watching me.

"I didn't mean it like that-"

"Yeah. I know."

I look anywhere but at him.

"Alright guys, your twenty minutes are up!"

Thank GOD. I quickly get out of the bathroom. Linh is waiting for me, already in her pyjamas.

"Huh?"

"It's a sleepover! I brought your sleeping bag."

"Oh."

Keefe appears behind me.

"Uh.. guys.. I don't have a sleeping bag.."

Linh smirks.

"You're sharing with my dear brother."

I stare at her.

"NO WAY!"

We both shout.

"Why not?"

We glare at Linh, who shrinks.

(Keefe's POV:)

I squeeze into the sleeping bag, next to Tam. This couldn't get any more awkward. I lie awake for what feels like hours. I can feel Tam's light breathing beside me, and I shift my head, and I almost jump when I find my face a hair's breath away from Tam's. I really wanna.. I blink. NOT. NOW. KEEFE.
