Valentine [Ayano x Budo]

Chapter 5 // Truth or 7 Minutes in Heaven

Ayano's POV
"I don't know what flavour to get..." I scanned across the choices
"Two cookies and cream please." Budo asked. He payed for both and gave one to me
"Oh, Budo you don't have to." I reached for my money
"I know I don't." he smiled
"Well, thanks." I said licking it, "This is really nice." I hadn't realised I had been eating messily until Budo put a piece of hair behind my ear and wiped my lips with his thumb
"You missed a bit." he said differently. I say differently because I really don't know what it was. It was kind of flirtatious..
"So did you." I said smearing some ice cream from my finger to his nose
"Woah rude." he laughed, wiping the ice cream off and licking it. He then took off his hat and put it on me
"Hipster." he hip bumped me so I did it back to him.
Once we all got our ice cream, we started heading back to Kokona's house.
I noticed that Saki and Kokona kept having stare offs with Budo, but I decided not to say anything, since I was probably wrong. Maybe I was jealous... Whatever.
"You like it?" Budo asked
"Yeah! Thank you!" I smiled

Budo's POV
This was hopeless. I don't know how to flirt. I had been flirting with Ayano since we met, and yet, nothing. She just sees me as a friend.
Kokona and Saki kept trying to hint at me to do something, but I didn't know what.
"We're back!" Kokona pointed out the obvious
"Ayano can you help me get some snacks?" Saki asked
"Sure!" Ayano smiled
"Budo I need you to help me get the pump to blow up the airbed."
"Got it." I said, knowing Kokona she just wanted to talk about Ayano.
"We'll wait for you guys in the lounge." Mina said
I walked upstairs with Kokona to her supply closet and we found the pump.
"Why didn't you carry on? You were doing so well!" Kokona whisper shouted
"I was? I don't know how to flirt with Ayano!"
"You do it all the time!"
"Yeah but clearly that doesn't work. I'm out of ideas!"
"Fine. I'll do all the work, you just do as I say. Kapeesh?"
"Kapeesh."
We walked back downstairs with the pump and I began to pump up the airbed. Kokona said it was to make me look stronger in front of Ayano, but I think it was just because she wanted me to do all the work.
"Here we are!" Saki shouted. Ayano and Saki brought in some chips and dips, popcorn, lemonade and some other snacks
"Hey guys, who wants to play truth or dare?"
"Sure!"
"Okay!"
"Are you sure that's a good idea?" Saki asked
"It'll be fun!" Kokona looked at Saki, me and Ayano
"W-Who's going first?" I asked nervously as Ayano sat next to me. Me and Ayano sat on the small couch, Kokona, Saki, Hayato and Haruto sat on the large couch and Sho and Mina sat on the floor
"I actually though we could try something different. You have to write a question on one piece of paper and a dare on the other, and we'll put them in a hat. Then you have to pick one out and do whatever the paper says."
"Sounds good." I grabbed my hat from Ayano's head and put it on the table. Kokona got some paper and handed it to all of us along with some pens.
On mine I wrote, I dare you to blindfold yourself for the rest of the game. And Truth - Do you have a crush on anyone?
"Everyone done?" we all nodded
"I'll go first." Saki picked out one, "Truth, who here of the same gender as you would you consider dating? I have to go with Kokona." she laughed
"My turn!" Kokona reached into the hat and picked one out, "Kiss the person to your left on the cheek." I assumed that one was meant for me since Ayano was sat on my left. Kokona was sat next to Hayato, so she gave him a soft kiss on the cheek and smiled. They both blushed and from what I could tell, I think they like eachother.
"Okay my go," Hayato picked one, "I dare you to blindfold yourself for the rest of the game." Saki was wearing a scarf, so she used that to blindfold Hayato
"Me next!" Mina took one, "Dare - lick the person next to you. Okay what the actual fuck?" after a while of complaining, she finally gave in and licked Sho's face, "If I ever find out who wrote that they're getting their ass kicked." she crossed her arms
"I guess it's my turn." Sho said, "Do you have a crush? Yeah, I do."
"Alright pass it here." I took one out and read it, "Play 7 minutes in heaven with the person next to you. Wait what?" I asked
"You have to go in a closet with Ayano and you get to do whatever you want in there. Nobody tells anyone. What happens in the closet, stays in the closet." Saki smirked
"Isn't that about Vegas?"
"Shut up."
We walked to the closet and they shut us in, leaving me and Ayano alone in a small dark room.
"Sorry Ayano.."
"It's okay, it's not your fault you got that dare." she smiled. God I hated myself for what I was about to do.
"No.. Ayano.. You don't get it.."
"What? It's not like you chose to ge-"
I cut her off by pushing her against the wall gently and kissing her. To my surprise, she didn't pull away, she kissed me back.
She kissed me back

Ayano's POV
I really wished this was for real, but I know Budo kissed me for the dare. I just couldn't believe he actually kissed me. It was the best moment of my life and yet it was the worst, since I knew that it wasn't real. He just kissed me for a dare.
"Kokona I don't know.. Maybe we went too far.." Saki whispered loud enough for us to hear, but that didn't stop us
"Fine." Kokona said opening the door, "Okay, maybe they should have some privacy." she said closing the door again
