"Who wants to play truth or dare?" asked Aru, plopping down on the floor of Brynne's penthouse.
"Oooh, me!" exclaimed Rudy. "Wait, what is this 'truth or dare'?"
Aiden rolled his eyes, sitting next to Aru. "Why would you want to play when you don't know what it is?"
Rudy glared at his cousin, "Can't I be curious?"
Aiden glared back, "No."
When all the Potatoes were seated, including Hira, a plastic water bottle was placed in the middle.
"I call spinning first!" said Aru.
The potatoes groaned.
"What?" asked Aru.
"You're not spinning, Shah." said Brynne.
"And why is that?"
"Remember the time you spun the bottle and it went flying, nearly breaking Mini's mom's vase?" said Aiden, smirking.
Aru glared at him, "You're supposed to be on my side!" Aiden smiled and kissed her cheek.
"Betrayal," mumbled Aru, blush taking over her face.
"Enough of the mushy stuff!" exclaimed Brynne, covering her eyes.
"Tell me you and Hira don't have anything going on now." demanded Aru, a smirk on her face. Brynne just gave Aru a thunderous frown, but it didn't match the red blooming on her cheeks.
The Potatoes decided Mini would spin the bottle, as she was the most reasonable.
"Here goes nothing," whispered Mini, spinning the bottle.
The bottle spun quickly, coming to a stop at Hira.
"Truth or dare?" asked Mini.
"Truth," said Hira.
Mini groaned. "What do I ask?"
Aru and Brynne bombarded her with questions like "Who's your secret crush?" or "What's your most embarrassing public moment?" until Mini burst.
"WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CHEATED ON A TEST?" yelled Mini, shutting Aru and Brynne up.
The whole room went quiet.
"Seriously?" asked Aru. "We gave you so many good ones!"
"Sorry," said Mini sheepishly. "I just asked whatever my last thought was."
"Mr. William's chemistry test," whispered Hira.
"You've cheated before?" asked Mini incredulously.
"I'm sorry!" exclaimed Hira.
"Do you know what's gonna happen if mom and dad find out you did that?" asked Mini.
"I know! Please don't tell them," begged Hira.
Mini sighed, "You're lucky I'm not my brother."
"Please don't tell bhai either," said Hira.
"Knowing Mini, it might come out one day," said Brynne.
Mini's cheeks burned. "It's not my fault I'm not a good liar!"
Next, Hira spun the bottle.
It landed on Aru.
"Truth or dare?" asked Hira.
"Dare," said Aru brazenly.
"You think too fast, Shah." said Aiden.
Brynne's eyes sparkled, and whispered something into Hira's ear. Hira brightened quickly, and smirked at Aiden.
"Aru, I dare you to say something that's gonna make Aiden fold."
Aru smirked and Aiden smiled.
"What're you gonna say, Shah?" challenged Aiden.
"I wonder," said Aru, coy.
She leaned over and whispered something into Aiden's ear. Halfway through Aru's comment, Aiden's eyes widened and he let out a gasp.
"What is she saying?" asked Rudy, curious.
"Let her work her magic, snake boy," said Brynne, smirking.
By the time Aru had finished, Aiden had turned red. Like, tomato red.
"I need a breather," he muttered, standing up.
"I think you succeeded Aru," said Mini, smiling.
"I think I did too," said Aru, tilting her chin up proudly.
The game continued for a few more rounds until it was time for Rudy to spin the bottle.
It landed on Mini.
"Truth or dare?" he asked enthusiastically.
"Truth." replied Mini, as always.
"Do you like anyone?"
Mini's eyes widened and she felt her cheeks heat up. "Sorry?"
"Do you like anyone?" he repeated, his eyes big with curiosity.
She stared into Rudy's eyes. Even though the naga was prideful, he didn't realise his own worth sometimes. In short, he's a big, innocent dork and that made Mini smile.
"I do," responded Mini.
"Oh, cool!" said Rudy, giving her a pressed smile.
It's you, she wanted to say. But she didn't. For the sake of her conscience.
AN -- IN MY DEFENSE, I HAVE NO CLUE WHAT ARU WOULD SAY TO AIDEN TO MAKE HIM FOLD. DO U GUYS HAVE IDEAS?
