Game Nights

Ch. 4

Lucas' POV

Sadly, it wasn't long before the bottle landed on Ash again and he sat back up. I was kind of hoping he wouldn't be spun on again... or at least not for a longer period of time. It felt comfortable having him closer to me and having contact with me. 

Sigh.

Exactly four truths and three dares later, the bottle finally landed on me again.

I smiled at the senior girl that landed on me, "Dare."

She smirked back and I got a little nervous, "I dare you to lay with your head in pipsqueak's lap like he was doing to you."

I forced myself not to smile like a maniac. 

Thank you!!!

I tried to act not as excited as I felt and I nodded, "Ok, I'll spin first though."

She nodded like the other girl did for Ash and I spun, and it landed on Jack, I smirked, "Truth or dare?"

He looked nervous. 

I knew a lot about him that I could have had him reveal or I could have made him do something embarrassing. It was kind of fun.

"Truth."

I thought for a minute, "I'll let you off on an easy one. When's the last time you got caught doing the deed?"

He rolled his eyes and thought, "Last summer."

I nodded and then casually moved back and laid with my head fully on Ash's lap. He looked shocked for a second but then calmed down.

As the game went on, I felt a hand messing with my hair and I glanced up and saw Asher gazing at my hair. I smiled and went back to paying attention to the game. His playing with my hair gave me butterflies in my stomach and I was praying my face wasn't going to turn red.

Ash's POV (Rewind a little)

I internally smacked myself to calm myself down as I turned to Lucas, "Um, you should scoot back a little."

He nodded and scooted back so knees were in line with where he was once sitting, his legs stretched out. I then scooted towards him and laid down so that my head was just on one of his thighs. A decent way away from... you know what. I was an awkward and innocent child.

I looked over at the girl and she shook her head, "Your head needs to be fully on his lap."

I sighed and scooted up again, so my head was on both of his legs, the top on his left thigh and the bottom on his right. I looked at her again and she smiled triumphantly and the girl that I gave a truth to finally spun. 

My heart was beating way too fast, I needed to calm down. I literally just met Lucas. He was a junior, and I was a sophomore. He was probably straight, and I was gay -- very much closeted at that. It wasn't going to happen. I needed to stop having feelings for him. 

But he was so sweet and cute... ugh why was it so hard?

I poked his hand, and he looked down at me, quirking an eyebrow in question.

"Sorry if this is awkward," I whispered so no one else would hear.

He shrugged and smiled a little, "It's fine."

I couldn't help it... I smiled a little back and felt my face get hotter with a blush. Why did he have to be so sweet?

Sadly, not that long after I laid down, I got spun again so I had to sit back up. I tried to mask my sadness as I accepted the truth question the boy asked me.

Maybe like ten spins later, or maybe less, the bottle landed on Lucas for the first time in a while.

He smiled at the girl, "Dare."

She smirked at him and nodded at me, "I dare you to lay with your head in pipsqueak's lap like he was doing to you."

My eyes went wide but other than that I didn't let my shock and nervousness show. Much.

He hesitated a second but then nodded easily, "Ok, I'll spin first though."

She nodded like the other girl did me, and he spun, and it landed on another boy that was a junior -- I think. 

Lucas smirked at him, "Truth or dare?"

It took everything in me not to try to imagine him staring at me with that smirk close up...

The boy looked nervous as he thought. I was guessing they were friends.

"Truth."

He thought for a minute, "I'll let you off on an easy one. When's the last time you got caught doing the deed?"

The boy rolled his eyes and thought back, "Last summer."

After that, Lucas nodded and before I could comprehend what was happening, he swiftly moved back and laid his head fully on my lap. My eyes widened more, and I knew I looked surprised but how else was I supposed to act? He did that so easily! 

After a second, I calmed down and watched as the game persisted. Trying and failing to not look and eventually stare at the boy in my lap.

After a little bit when he seemed distracted, I let my hand slowly go near his head and play with the end strands of his hair. Just a little. So he wouldn't ask me what I was doing... not right away at least. In the progression of like ten minutes, I was basically full-on playing with his hair. Looping my hands in and out and curling some strands with my fingers. His hair was so soft and dark... it was mesmerizing. God, how did I have that big of a crush on him? I barely knew him...

I suddenly felt eyes on me, so I looked over and saw Sara and Ricky looking at me with their eyebrows raised in question, knowing smiles on their faces. I slightly glared at them and paid attention to the game again, still messing with Lucas' hair. I felt him turn his head slightly and I looked at him, not expecting to see him looking back at me. We just stared into each other's eyes for a few seconds, and I accidentally let my mind wander to how easy it would be to kiss him, and I glanced at his lips. When I looked back into his eyes, he was looking at my lips too and my face flared bright red. I reverted my attention back to my hand in his hair. I saw him smile out of the corner of my eye and he faced back to everyone else.

Oh, God.
