Truth or dare

(4.216 words)

Technically, every night was a sleepover at the Noceda house, but tonight, a festive mood was in the air. The team had just discovered a lead that could take them to a portal to the demon realm, and it was Friday, so Luz had opted to make tonight a special night and do fun sleepover things. The girls had laid their mattresses down in a circle and they were all dressed in their pyjamas and they were snacking from a bit of candy they bought from leftover odd job money.

''So, what should we talk about?'' Willow asked.

''Maybe we should talk about boys,'' Vee said, ''The girls at the summer camp I went to were all talking about boys during the night.'' Y/N didn't know how she felt about sleeping next to a basilisk every night. It wasn't a comforting thought that Vee could get up and drain Y/N's magic whenever she wanted. Of course, Y/N knew rationally that Vee would never do that. She hadn't done it yet, even though she'd had the chance many times, and it wouldn't be in her favour. Besides, she was too sweet. It was just the thought that Vee could do it that scared her.

''Hm, well, I don't have any boys to talk about,'' Amity said.

''That's fine, we can talk about girls, too,'' Luz said with a wink.

A cheeky smile appeared on Amity's face. ''Yeah, there's this girl in my class,'' she said. Luz's face sank a bit. ''She's really beautiful, and funny, and brave...'' Amity said as she eyed her girlfriend. ''And she has a wonderful sense of fashion.''

Luz gasped. ''Who is this girl?!'' She exclaimed.

''Her name...'' Amity said, ''...Is Luz Noceda!''

Luz let out a big sigh of relief and hugged her girlfriend. ''Oh, Amity, don't scare me like that!'' The girls in the room chuckled. Luz and Amity were so cute together, it made Y/N wonder if she'd ever be in such a relationship with anyone. All her love confessions up until now had been rejected, and she was sad to have realised that Hunter was probably next in line for the revolving door of crushes. Damn him with his handsome face and his funny remarks and his incredible intelligence! Why couldn't he've just let her be miserable, if he hadn't comforted her that night, she wouldn't be in this mess!

''During camp, we played truth or dare- basically the human version of question or challenge- and we got someone to confess to someone else.'' Vee said. ''They were a couple during the rest of the trip, it was so sweet.''

''Confessing during question or challenge is such a fanfiction thing, though.'' Y/N sighed. ''Why is it so difficult for people to confess their love to one another? Why rely on such a shallow game like question or challenge to force you to confess? Why can't you just talk to each other like normal people?''

Willow looked over at Y/N with furrowed brows. ''Have you even had a crush before? Because if you did, you'd know that that's harder than it looks.''

Y/N huffed. ''Of course I've had crushes before! I even have one right now! I just don't talk about them a lot because I find it really embarrassing!''

Everyone in the room gasped and came a little closer. ''Y/N. You have to tell us who your crush is.'' Luz said with the most serious face possible.

''Yeah, I wanna know!'' Willow exclaimed. She gasped. ''Wait, are they like the fictional characters you're always crushing on? Smart and emo?''

Y/N felt her face heating up, as if she was holding it by a fire. Studious was an understatement. ''I'm actually really curious now, as well.'' Amity said.

Vee scooted a little closer. ''Don't worry. I promise not to tell anyone!''

Y/N buried her head in her pillow out of embarrassment. ''No, I can't tell you!'' She murmured. ''I mean, he's in the human realm with us!''
