Dare Me (Henry Bowers x Reader)

Dare Me

I walk in through the door and instantly feel eyes on me. I smile and make my way deeper into the crowd of people dancing and swaying drunkenly. I pass the entrance of the kitchen and see Julie and Carly wave at me quickly. Carly is the first to make it over to me. "You look amazing!" Julie comes over slowly grinning like an idiot. She giggles and comes closer to me and says "Come outside (y/n)." I look at Carly confused and tickled. She just shakes her head as we follow our friend to the backyard where a fire pit is raging.

Julie goes far to the last line of trees and pulls out a blunt. I grab it and look at it closely, narrowing my eyes as I look at her. "Who rolled this? Because I just got here, and you can't roll." The three of us laugh pushing each other's buttons.

I look at Julie as she's staring off into space. "So are you going to light that thing up or not?" She asks wantingly. I laugh and pull my lighter out of my bra lighting the blunt. "I think you've had enough Julie Bean." Carly states the obvious.

We walk over to a swinging bench and continue to smoke and talk. "Really who rolled this?" I look at the weed tightly rolled into the brown paper surprised. "Pretty good right?" I look to my right to see Belch walking up alone. I take another puff and pass it to Carly. "Not bad Belch. When did you learn how to roll? Thought Bowers did everything for you guys." Belch rolls his eyes and pushes me over onto a Julie laughing.

"You know for how strong your hatred of Bowers is you would think you'd shut up about him for five minutes." Carly states sassily.

I raise my eyebrows at her and grab the blunt inhaling the hot herbs. "What are you talking about?" Julie winks at Belch and they both bust out in laughter. "Woah, woah, woah! Hey now! What is so funny?"

Belch shrugs and crosses his arms. "I don't know (y/n). Got a little twinkle in your eyes everytime you look at Henry." I shake my head and chuckle lightly blowing smoke out of my mouth. "You're almost as crazy as your sister." Julie hits me in the arm after my comment.

"He is the most vile, lowlife, hillbilly, dangerous, evil, and annoying thing in Derry, Maine. Check my eyes again Belch!" He does as he is told and grabs my face between his hands examining my eyes playfully. He motions for the girls to take a look as well. "Hmm. Nope. Still see that twinkle."

I pull my face away and roll my eyes. "He's one frog I will not kiss. No chance of him turning into a prince." Julie, Belch, and Carly look at each other and smirk. "You don't think you could ever love him?" Julie asks dramatically. I roll my eyes shaking my head. Belch "Not just no... But HELL FUCKING NO!" they all burst out laughing. "I still don't believe it. Not until you prove it!"

I roll my eyes. "And how do you expect me to do that?" Belch and Julie look at eachother smirking. "I want you to walk right over there next to Bowers and lay one on him!" "You want me to kiss that thing?!" All three of my friends nodded holding in their laughter.

I stand up and ruffle my skirt out. "Fine. If it will get you children to shut the fuck up." I walk to the other side of the yard where the other 3 assholes sit. The first to catch my upcoming arrival was Patrick. He looked me up and down smirking. Creep.

Victor did the same, but without smirking. He simply just elbowed Henry who was lost in his own mind. Most likely due to the amount of alcohol in his system tonight.

Henry's eyes meet my own as I stand in front of him. "Can I help you Tozier?" He spits the name like it's acid in his mouth. I shrug it off and stand even closer to him. "You know what, maybe you can! You see I've got this tiny problem that you can only fix Bowers." Henry raises his eyebrows in confusion. "What could I help you with?" I smirk and swiftly move myself to sit on his right knee. I peek near my bundle of friends (and Belch) to see them all waiting with anticipation.

Henry's eyes are wanduring my face for an explanation. His hands are by his sides fidgeting, and his face is a light shade of pink. I take notice of his stance and jump right for the kill. "You nervous Bowers? Never seemed like the type to get cold feet." He sits silent for a moment until he places his hands on my waist. "In your dreams." I roll my eyes giggling. I waste no time and smash my lips on his in a quick heated mess.

His grip tightens slightly and he pulls me into him closer. As our lips move together my mind is flooded with thoughts of warmth. My mind becomes fuzzy, and I forget where I am and more importantly who I'm with.

As he runs his tongue over my bottom lip for entrance I pull away leaving him speechless. I stand up wiping my now plump lips smirking. "Looks like the cat's got your tongue Bowers." I turn away from them and sway my hips as I make my way to my friends.

"So are you in love?" Belch asks in a sing song voice. "HA! In his dreams. Someone pass me the blunt! I need to get the taste of beer, cigarettes, and flat Mountain Dew out of my mouth!" They laugh and pass me the blunt. I inhale the smoke feeling my tension go away, but not the jiggers or fuzziness in me head. It's got to be the weed. I laugh to myself shaking my head. My eyes scan the crowd until they land on Bowers. His eyes lock with mine in a heat. His gaze feels warm and inviting.

I revert my eyes to my own group again. "Well see you laddies later." Belch says making his way to his group. I touch my lips slightly feeling the numbness of them. What the hell just happened? Less than 12 hours ago he threatened my little brother, and hated me.

"I thought you two were done with each other?" Carly whispers to me. I sigh composing myself and pushing the truth far away. "There was nothing to begin with. He's just some toy. Plus I think we've got someone who really likes him." I spat annoyed at the sight of Julie hugging Henry. He looks at Belch and looks like he's begging to get her off.

"You need a drink hon." Carly pulls me away and back inside.
