Not As It Seems (Huntbastian) [Discontinued]

"Alright, if we watch one more movie, I'm going to pass out," Thad declared, yawning.

"That means it's game time," Jeff said. He tossed his now-empty coke bottle on the carpet.

Nick sighed. "Truth or dare? Really?"

Jeff just grinned. They settled into a circle around the bottle, knowing they couldn't stop him. Sebastian cautiously sat next to Hunter, confused.

Blaine spun the bottle first, and it landed on Sebastian. "Truth or dare?" he asked.

"Um..." Seeing his look of confusion, Hunter realized something.

"Wait, you've never played truth or dare before, have you?"

Sebastian shook his head.

"How is that possible?" Nick asked.

"Basically, you spin the bottle and ask whoever it lands on 'truth or dare,'" Thad explained. "You can't lie on a truth, you have to truthfully answer the question. Like, I don't know, 'who was your first boyfriend.' A dare you have to do, they dare you to do something. Like 'play the rest of the round without your glasses' or something. Then, after answering it or doing it, that person spins and it repeats."

He nodded, trying to remember that. "Okay."

"Here, let's not start with you, so you can get a feel for it," Jeff said. Blaine nodded, re-spinning the bottle. It landed on Thad.

"Truth or dare?"

"I'll start with truth."

Blaine thought for a minute. "Name three people in this room."

"Um, you, Nick, and Sebastian?" he said, sounding confused.

"Alright, fuck marry kill, me, Nick, and Sebastian."

Thad grew red. "That doesn't seem fair. Um... I'm going with logic here. I apologize in advance. Um, fuck Sebastian, because he wouldn't make it awkward afterwards, marry Blaine, because a household with me and Nick would be too anxious to get anything done, and kill Nick."

"Wow, thanks," Nick said sarcastically.

Thad smiled sheepishly. "Sorry. I mean, blame Blaine. And if it's any consolation, I'd honestly rather die than have to marry myself."

They all laughed, except for Sebastian. He felt distinctly uncomfortable.

Thad spun next, landing it on Wes. "Oh, this is bound to be boring. Truth or dare?"

A faint blush tinted Wes's cheeks. "Dare, I guess. So it won't be too boring."

Thad looked rather impressed. "Alright. Well, kiss whoever you find most attractive in here."

With surprising ease, Wes leaned across the circle and gave David a short kiss. Then they both paused, kissing again, much longer this time. When they broke apart they kissed again, more of a peck than a kiss. They didn't seem able to break apart.

Hunter laughed. "Alright, do we need to forcibly separate you two before you start making out?"

Surprising them all, Wes didn't even blush. He settled back down into his spot, smiling faintly and spinning the bottle.

"Wait, wait, hold up," Jeff said as the bottle landed in him. "Are you two a thing, or did that just happen?"

Wes laughed. "That definitely did not just happen. I mean, we share a dorm. How was I supposed to keep my hands off him?"

"TMI," Blaine said, snickers rippling through the room.

"Truth or dare?"

Jeff thought for a minute. "Dare."
