Dare To Be Yours

Chapter 11: Beam's Birthday

3rd person POV

***copied and edited from the original one shot story***

It's Beam's birthday and the gang is celebrating it at the local bar. Everyone is on their feet, enjoying the night, enjoying the moment. Beam, Pha, Ming, and even Forth were out on the floor dancing the night away. Kit and Yo were immersed in their own world, sitting on their booth enjoying the chilled drinks. Everyone just seems to have fun.

A couple of crates later, the boys decided to slow down and all of them just sat on their booth. Beam, Yo, and Kit sat next to each other, Pha sat beside Ming and Forth while he sat across Beam. They were drinking on their bottles silently, watching all the people dancing on the floor.

Just then, Ming decided to propose a game. They all groaned out at the announcement of the ever present drinking game: Dare or dare (nobody seems to like the idea of spilling out truths anyway and it's more enjoyable having dares than half-assed truths). Ming took an empty bottle and cleared the table of some of their mess. He placed the bottle in the center and started spinning it, opening the game. It landed on Beam.

"Okay birthday boy, dare or dare." Ming asked mischievously and Beam rolled his eyes on him. What's the point of asking the question when you haven't got a choice in it anyway?

"What do you want?" Beam asked Ming.

Yo interrupted, tipsily raising both of his hands in the air and waved them in attention.

"Oh oh, can I give him the dare?" Yo excitedly asked Ming.

Ming shrugged and Beam glared at Yo who was just grinning like a cheshire cat beside him.

"Don't look at me that way Beamie...." Yo told him with a slur.

"What do you want, fat kid?" Beam asked, slightly annoyed.

Yo frowned at him. He quickly slapped Beam at the back of his head.

"I'm not fat!" he retorted. "You're a meanie."

"Fine. Just go ahead with your dare then." Beam replied with a laugh.

Yo smirked and he looked at Beam with his eyes twinkling in mischief.

"I dare you..." he said as he pointed at Ming. "...to kiss him for a full minute."

Kit, Ming, and Forth all spewed out their drinks. Pha laughed aloud at his friends. Beam was glaring at Yo who seemed unaffected and was whistling happily, ignoring the fact that he's digging his grave already.

"What the hell?!" Ming exclaimed at Yo. If he only knew what was running on that kid's head, he wouldn't have let him ask Beam.

Forth was staring at Beam, watching how his emotions changed one after the other. Kit looked at Yo like he had lost his mind. Does he have a death wish?

"What are you going to do now Beam?" Pha asked teasingly.

Beam smacked Yo's head as he stood up, his eyes fixed on Ming.

"You're serious?" Ming asked hesitantly.

"It's just a stupid dare." Beam replied as he stood up and tugged on Ming's shirt by the front.

Yo was sporting a shit-eating grin, Kit was mirroring his. Pha was happily recording on his phone while Forth just gave a sigh. It's not like he owns Beam anymore. They have already broken up. He's just lucky they decided to remain friends.

Ming was gulping as Beam inched his face closer to his. Beam was also looking nervous but he has had too many drinks and it somehow lessen the nervousness he's feeling. When their lips finally touched, Yo and Kit were squealing and bouncing happily on their seat, Pha was chuckling as he enjoyed filming the blackmail material, and Forth was downing the remnants of his beer, uncaring of the scene.
