This one is quite long. Ah, the exhausted "Truth or Dare" theme. I am so sorry.

______________________________________

If I'm alive in 10 years and end up training new recruits, I don't think I'll ever be able to begin to explain the first time I ever played truth or dare. But of course, I don't think instructors tell their recruits about that kind of stuff. Just saying, you know... If I ever found myself in the same situation Levi was in on that fateful night...

*~*~*

"Maybe that isn't such a good idea," Armin piped up.

"Are you kidding me, it's a great idea!" Eren replied.

"What's going on?" asked Mikasa who had re-entered the room after Connie and Sasha had suggested their "brilliant" twist on the game 'truth or dare.'

"Truth or dare," Sasha beamed, "But for every truth or dare you back out of, you have to take off an article of clothing!"

Mikasa looked over at Eren and didn't say anything.

Jean sighed, "That really is stupid, Sasha."

"Well, do you have a better game idea?"

"Yeah," he retorted, grumbling into his pillow, "it's called 'go to sleep because it's already two in the morning and if Captain Levi hears us giggling like a bunch of idiots and taking off our clothes, we're gonna have extra laps at sunrise."

"Lighten up, Jean," Connie said, "What are you, ashamed of your body?"

"No, I'm ashamed you're such a dimwit."

"Settle down, boys," Sasha cut in before an argument would break out, "I say we let G decide."

Water nearly sprayed out of my nose. Taken aback I said, "What?"

"What do you say, G? Shall we play strip truth or dare?" Sasha pressed.

"Uh..." I had to analyze how or where I would end up if I agreed to this. 

"Don't do it, Georgie," Jean warned, sitting up.

Let's see... If I say no, then we all go to sleep or do something else. I wasn't tired at all, though. Quite the opposite because of all the sugary stuff Sasha stole from the kitchens. 

"It'll be super fun!" Sasha sang. She, Connie, and Eren were staring me down excitedly.

"Don't listen to her, Georgie!" Jean said, "She's setting you up for a life of regret!"

But I say yes, then at least I'll get to learn something new. Maybe I'd be able to fit in better. We do run the risk of Levi catching us, though. I don't mind doing extra laps in the morning, but I wasn't sure about the others. And there was the whole 'stripping' part of it all.

"Please, Georgie, I am begging you," Jean pleaded.

I was only wearing a fox kigu. Yes, you heard correctly, I was wearing a big floppy fox onesie that I received from Hanji after the little party she threw for me. I wasn't wearing much underneath, though. 

"Um... Sure. Why not?" I rubbed the back of my head nervously with one hand and clutching my water bottle with the other. I commited myself to any confession or behavior I'd have to do. Nothing like a good challenge... right?

"Yes!" Sasha cheered, "Okay, Armin, truth or dare?"

What happened was that everyone went around doing dares or confessing their secrets, and by the time it was my turn there was a smile pile in the middle of our circle that consisted of socks, a shirt, and Connie's pants. I had not expected these truths and dares to be so harsh. Needless to say, I was mildly terrified.
