The Powers We Have

I Kissed A Boy (on a dare): An Adam One-Shot

Mumbo's Perspective-

I smiled as me, Scar, and Adam sat in a circle.

We were playing truth or dare in order to pass the time until we go to our movie in about an hour.

Scar smirked and turned to Adam.

"Adam! Truth or dare?"

"Dare."

"Hmmm...I dare you to..." Scar looked at me and smirked, "Kiss Mumbo!"

...

"...I'm sorry?"

"You heard me." Scar smirked, folding his arms.

Adam turned to me, and we both looked taken aback by Scar's dare.

Adam shrugged, smiling sheepishly and I blushed.

"Come onnnn." Scar said, smirking as he shoved Adam forward.

"I'm sorry, this is going to be so awkward." Adam whispered.

He slowly leaned in and kissed me quickly before leaning back, his face flushed red.

My face was equally as red, and we both looked away.

Scar burst out laughing.

"ALRIGHT SHUT UP!" Adam shouted, tickling Scar.

The rest of the noise was blocked out and all I could hear was my beating heart.

That...just happened. He just kissed me...

I looked down, confused at why I felt this way.

I always assumed I was straight, but then why was I feeling this way?

Am I supposed to be feeling something? I don't think I am.

Adam's my friend! Just that!

But then...

"Mumbo?"

I snapped back and saw Scar looking at me with a raised eyebrow.

"You alright?" He asked.

"Huh? Oh...yeah..." I said, not making eye contact.

I went home later on feeling confused.

Was I...gay?

Is that why I felt that way when Adam quickly kissed me?

I groaned and banged my head against the wall.

My younger sister, Melody, looked confused.

"Er- Mumbo? What are you doing?" She asked.

I sighed and turned towards my nine-year-old sister.

"Nothing, Mel."

Melody grumbled and narrowed her eyes.

"Sus." She whispered and I chuckled lightly.

I sat down on the floor and hugged my knees.

Melody sat down next to me.

"Hey Mel?"

She looked up at me.

"You know how confusing feelings are?" I asked.

Melody nods and then gasps.

"Oooh, you like someone!" She giggled, "Who is it?"

I smiled softly and blushed, looking down.

"...I think I like a guy."
