"Why don't we have a little bit fun? What about a round of 'Truth or Dare', guys?" Alfie suddenly suggests.
We're currently all sitting in the living room of the big house in Los Angeles, Zoe, Alfie, Joe, Caspar, Marcus and I had rented together after vidcon, but tonight it isn't just us: Sawyer, Joey and Tyler came over from their apartments to join us.
Right now, Tyler is laying on the couch behind me, lazily playing with my hair, and I am sitting in front of him, enjoying his touch. I mean, we all know that Tyler is touchy with everyone, so it's nothing special, but that doesn't mean I can't feel my skin burning and my heart aching every time I feel his hands on me.
To be honest, I've had a little bit of a crush on Tyler since I saw him for the first time, but he doesn't know about it. Not to mention the fact, that he doesn't even know that I'm gay. Or at least, I hope he doesn't know about it, that would be so awkward, because we are kinda flirting all the time. He could never like me back though, I am still a kid compared to him and the others. But playing 'Truth or Dare' with him would be fun.
After we had all agreed with Alfie, we sit down in a circle in the middle of the room, me between Caspar and Zoe and on the opposite of Tyler, who was placed between Sawyer and Marcus. I can't help it, but let my eyes wander over his body. He looks unbelievable sexy tonight, his black button-up shirt fits him perfectly and his skinny jeans hug his thighs in all the right places. When my eyes finally come back to his beautiful face, I see him smirking and mouthing the words "Enjoying the view?" towards me. I blush furiously and hope that the others were too busy discussing the question, who would start our little game, to notice us.
God, Tyler just caught me checking him out. This is so embarrassing, I can't even look at him right now. So you can believe me when I say that I am really relieved when Caspar finally starts the game.
"Alfie", he says, turning to him. "Truth or dare, mate?" "Let's start it easy. Truth." "Uh, okay..so if you had to date anyone in this room, besides Zoe of course, who would you choose?" Alfie blushes slightly and looks around in our circle. "Hm, okayy. Seeing that there aren't any other girls, I think I'd go with Marcus." "Malfie forever!" Marcus shouts and grins at his best friend.
We all laugh and the game goes on and on. There were good truths and dares, we even got a Maspar kiss, but there was nothing special for me until..
"Truth or Dare, Troye?", Tyler asks, looking directly into my eyes. "Truth." I say, because I don't really want to have to kiss any of the others and that's all what the last dares were about. But I regret it as soon as I hear Tyler's question.
"Do you have something like a big secret? Anything you haven't told anyone about?"
Of course my mind jumps straight to probably the only thing - besides my not so little crush on Tyler - they don't know about me: My sexuality.
I was always too scared to admit that I'm gay, even though I know that they'll accept it and that it probably won't make any difference to them or affect our friendship. I always knew that I had to tell them one day, I just didn't really know how to put it into words. But now I have the perfect opportunity.
"Well, yeah" I start slowly, refusing to meet the other's gazes. "There's this one thing I never told you. Just my family knows about it. And I'm sorry that I kept this so long from you, guys, but well - I am gay."
The room goes silent and I slowly lift my head, seeing that they're all smiling at me. Zoe's the first who moves, she leans over and hugs me tightly. "I'm so proud of you, Troye. I understand how hard it must've been to tell us." I gladly smile at her, I'm really realived that I'm honest with them now. Soon, the others are following Zoe's example, every single one of them gets up to hug me and whispers cute things into my ear. "We love you, nothing will ever change that." "It's okay with us, it makes no difference, Troye."
After this little interruption, we want to go back to playing, but I suddenly realize that one of them is still staring at me since the question was asked.
"Tyler?" I ask. It seems a bit like he has zoned out, he's the only one who hasn't said anything yet. "Is it okay for you?" That snaps him out of his thoughts and he looks at me, with an emotion in his eyes I can't really define. "I think it's more than okay with me. Truth or Dare, Troye?" "But wasn't it just his turn?" Zoe asks, lightly confused, but I can see out of the corners of my eyes that Alfie covers her mouth with his hands to shush her. I'm too busy staring at Tyler to care, to be honest.
"Dare."
I don't know what he's going to do, I don't know what he's thinking. I can see that he's biting his lips, that his eyes are shining brightly, and I honestly think he couldn't be more sexy and beautiful than he is right now.
"Kiss me."
