DRAFT: Chapter 17: Truth or Dare

[ reminder: this is a draft. again, not planning to finish this any time soon]

Everyone nearby sat down in the circle, including Rider. Pink team was quite enthusiastic, restlessly murmuring amongst themselves about something that no one else seemed to pick up on. Aloha seemed a little more excited than usual. The group finally pulled apart, as the leader, Aloha, cleared his throat. "We are going to be playing... truth or dare!" the pink boy exclaimed, passion in his voice.
There was a unanimous thrill in the crowd. Goggles cheered, clinging onto Rider, who rolled his eyes at this childish game.
"I'll start! We'll go clockwise," Aloha announced. He glanced over at Gloves who sat not too far away from him. "Gloves? Truth, or dare?"
"Truth!" he replied. He looked at the crowd, waiting for something to happen.
The pink inkling paused before he finally came up with something. "Are you crushing on Emperor?" he asked, "You have to be honest."
The neon green inkling sighed defeatedly, knowing that it was too late to get out of this. "Well," he blushed, scratching the back of his neck. "I—I guess."

— break —

Diver scratched the back of his head. "Yeah, I don't know!" he said with a laugh. "I guess I could spice things up a bit?" His eyes circled around the room as he searched for the next victim of this little game, staring back at Aloha afterwards. "Yo, dude, truth or dare?" the inkling asked.
Aloha's eyes widened knowing something exciting was about to happen. "Dare, of course!" He sat up, a hint of curiosity in his eyes as he waited for his dare to be given. His teeth almost glistened with the amused grin on his face.
"I dare you to..." Diver began, wrapping up the last few thoughts in his brain before continuing, "I dare you to make out with Rider."
A few people in the crowd eagerly pulled out their cell phones, ready to capture the moment that could possibly change everyone's perception of the two. Upon hearing his name combined with this request, Rider could feel his face burning, refusing to make eye contact with anyone but Goggles. There were only two options he had at the moment, which were to suddenly open up about his love for the blue boy at his side to avoid the situation, or to not risk his reputation. He chose the second option, of course, at the price of a little session with Aloha. It would be over before he knew it, and he mouthed a quick "sorry" to Goggles as he looked up at the pink inkling who had walked over, and now stood in front of him.
"What? Never been kissed by a guy before?" Aloha asked the other, his head leaning to the side as he placed hand on his hip. "Or do I just make you that nervous?" Laughing it off, the inkling moved down as he took a seat on Rider's lap, straddling it as the other visibly gulped beneath him. They both were directly looking at each other — one with a spark of excitement in his half-lidded, pink eyes, while the other's green ones were hesitant — as the pink inkling made his first move. He pulled Rider closer to him with both arms as they wrapped around his neck, their chests pressing together. Aloha could feel his own heartbeat pounding in his chest, along with Rider's erratically beating one, the rhythms almost syncing up together. The pink inkling's mouth opened with a shaky exhale as he inched closer, his lips finally meeting with the other's. The crowd had been on the edge of their seats, squealing in excitement as they watched the dare finally taking place — all except for Goggles.
He knew it was just a dare, he knew that for sure Rider did not want to do this, yet he still felt upset over something his boyfriend had no say in. He could not stand having to sit there and agonizingly watch the one he loved most with his lips on someone else's. The blue inkling stood up with a red cup in hand, and left to go get another drink — the same kind of drink that he gotten earlier, to be exact. Goggles did not show up again for the rest of the party.
The yellow-green inkling was a little too occupied at the moment to notice that the other had left, his mind now only on the boy in front of him. He was going to get this over with; all he needed to do was to please the crowd for a bit before he could leave. His hands found themselves on Aloha's hips, with Aloha moving them closer to him in response. His pink tongue traced over Rider's lips as he gave in and opened his mouth, his tongue slipping through the opening, the two of them tilting their heads in opposing ways to deepen the kiss. Sharp teeth clashed as the two tongues met inside the yellow-green inkling's mouth, tasting a faint sweetness at the tip of his own. He felt the other swirl his tongue around his own, and, to Aloha's surprise, Rider found himself reciprocating. They pressed their tongues together sloppily, with Aloha slowly sinking into the other's arms.
By this time the pink boy had already claimed Rider's mouth as his, and yet he continued to tease him, discreetly grinding his hips onto the other's until he felt something pushing back up at him. Despite Rider making an attempt to get the situation over with, his body sabotaged the entire effort. It was pressed against Aloha; even if he tried to shift his legs, there was no way he wouldn't notice it. The pink inkling broke the kiss with a short giggle, a string of saliva connecting their mouths. Although he had intended to lead him on, he didn't think he would get Rider's body to physically respond to him. Perhaps he could take advantage of this situation...
"You goddamn pervert," he whispered in a low tone so that only Rider could hear him, "You're fucking disgusting for thinking of me like that while I'm on your lap..." Underneath him, the yellow-green boy could feel his shorts weighing down on him more and more, shaking his head at the mere thought, noticing his grip on Aloha had tightened. He didn't have to do this, he could run home and never talk about it again, yet he felt compelled to, a force drawing him in as if somehow he was being manipulated into wanting more than just a kiss. As much as he hated to admit it, it excited him. Plus, Aloha was downright attractive. It was when he finally became aware of his surroundings again that the other boy pulled him up by his leather jacket, being dragged away from the party as he heard chants of Aloha's name in the distance. They soon arrived at the pink inkling's room, the two of them saying nothing as he locked the door. They both knew the reason they were here.
