All In Due Time

Dare or Dare

After they got up from their cuddle session and played their new songs the boys acted extremely weird as per usual. But she was just as strange and was laughing and currently laying on top of Ashton, parallel with him, wrapped in his arms and her head on his chest. She reveled in the feeling, knowing Ashton wasn't as pro-cuddling as the other three. Michael was currently dirty dancing with Calum and Luke was on the floor falling to his knees with laughter. Winnie could feel Ashton's laughter rumbling in his chest pressed to her cheek. Luke was so adorable, his eyes squinting because his smile pushed the corners of his mouth as if they were reaching for his ears. Michael stuck out his rear and awkwardly shook his butt by bending his knees and Calum gave it a firm slap.
"PUT SOME STANK ON IT." Ashton ordered in a deeper voice that sounded vaguely American.
Luke looked down at her, his eyes sparkling, and joy ignited in her chest at how happy the band made him.
"MI AMOR." Michael shouted and suddenly she felt a heavy weight lay itself on her and heard Ashton grunt.
It rolled off her only to be replaced by another who she realized was Calum when he whispered so close to her ear his lips pressed against her skin and that side of her body prickled with goose bumps.
"Mine." He told her.
"NO SHE'S MINE." Ashton protested and tried to roll Calum off them.
"FORGET YOU." Michael announced sounding very offended. "I HAVE LUKE."
"WHA!" Luke yelped as Michael tackled him.
Winnie felt Calum's arms snake around her waist as Ashton tried to throw him off. He fell to the side but took her down with him so now the three of them were on their sides.
"I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO RIGHT NOW." Winnie informed, her arms squished into her chest.
"YOU'VE BEEN CUDDLING HER, IT'S MY TURN!" Calum argued.
"GET OFF CALUM." Ashton ignored his argument.
"NO. SELFISH." He yelled stubbornly.
"FIGHT ME." Ashton challenged.
"FINE." Calum agreed and they released her and then began rolling around but couldn't stay serious at all and immediately began giggling like school boys and ended up tangled.
"Sorry Winnie, but now we're cuddling." Ashton apologized as Calum burrowed into him.
"Balls." She pouted.
"BABE." Michael screamed and managed to tackled her down and sit on her without smashing her head on the ground and cupping her face in his hands. "Don't pout darling I've got you."
Luke shimmied his way to them on his stomach and got so close to her face his nose poked her cheek and he smiled down at her. She turned her face so she could brush her nosed with his.
"DO IT TO ME TOO." Michael demanded and leaned down.
She gave him an Eskimo kiss and he exhaled and went glossy eyed after cooing how adorable that was.
Luke carefully blinked his lashes against her cheekbone and she froze with a huge smile on her face, now mirroring the same expression Michael had.
"BUTTERFLY KISSES." Michael and her screeched.
Later in the night after Luke's parents went to bed Michael took out their vodka and carefully poured out the line of shots Ashton had laid out. Calum, Luke, and Winnie were leaning on the counter waiting patiently.
"What are you doing?" Luke asked, jumping over the counter and maneuvering her between his legs and setting his chin on her head.
"Making a playlist for us to turn the flip up to when were tipsy." She explained.
"Party music?" Calum inferred.
"Yes, Hood, hardcore party music."
"Ready." Michael announced and spun the cap back on.
Winnie relaxed against Luke's chest and let them go first. Ashton was supposed to go first but he padded his feet in place and cringed, so Calum and Michael beat him to it and threw there's back and Ashton immediately followed their lead.
Their heads turned to them after they gagged and Luke let her go so she could show them how it's done. She tossed it back, feeling the clear fiery liquid leave a trail of fire down her throat and settle in a puddle of warmth in her center. She wiped the corner of her mouth and forced her expression to stay passive.
Ashton gave her an approving whoop while Michael scoffed and called her a show off. Calum was staring at her and smirking making her feel dizzy. Luke took the last shot and he eyes twitched and he stuck his tongue out.
Michael wanted to take another but Winnie convinced him to wait a little so he waited ten minutes before pouring another round. Michael made her laugh as she took it and she had to keep it in her mouth so she wouldn't choke. Her eyes watered as the taste smothered her tastebuds and she swallowed with difficulty. She poked Michael when he drank his and he coughed and his eyes watered.
They did this around three more times because it became a competition, before they were in fits of giggles, running around the living room and kitchen laughing at each other. Winnie turned on her music and swayed her hips to the beat while Michael did some weird dance with his hands in the air. Calum was getting naked while Ashton was trying to make a video and he had to cover his goodies so the video didn't capture the image.
Michael screamed and covered Winnie's eyes. "UNDERWEAR ON NOW."
Winnie giggled. "Lemme see."
"NO. VIRGIN EYES."
"It's okay there's not much to see, you have to squint really hard." Ashton told her and Luke hooted.
"YOU'RE JUST JEALOUS." Calum's words slurred together.
Luke danced over to Michael and Winnie after she got a peak and then giggled like a twelve year old and then twirling around right after like she already forgot.
"Your cheeks are very pink." Luke's hands felt so big and cold on her cheeks, he pushed them together so her lips were squished. She didn't know if it was because she just saw Calum naked again or because of the alcohol but either way she felt great and she laughed at him and put her hands on his cheeks too.
"Thanks."
"You're welcome."
"DANCE THE TANGO WITH ME POOH BEAR." Michael grabbed her, tearing her away from Luke and pulling her against him.
She fell onto him and it took them a long time to get their hands in the right place and get moving to the music.
After the song ended Ashton, who was now nude, announced that they were playing truth or dare. So they sat in a circle on the floor and stared at each other until Calum dared Luke to put Ashton's underwear back on without using his hands.
"USE YOUR PEARLY WHITES." Winnie suggested.
So Ashton stood up for him and Luke used his feet and elbows to place the briefs so that he could step into them.
"DON'T GET A BONER DON'T GET A BONER." Michael pressured.
Ashton pulled an uncomfortable face but Calum teased. "Don't pretend like you don't love it!"
After Ashton was partially clothed Luke dared Michael to do two cartwheels but then Michael made up a rule where he can pass his dare to someone else so he made Winnie do then for him.
They clapped politely as she almost toppled over and sat down on the couch, her head feeling like it was floating up and would hit the ceiling.
"I can't feel my lips." Luke said.
"Here let me see if I can feel them." She pretend to shoot him with her finger guns.
"SMOOTH MOTHER FUCKER." Ashton leaned back so he could reach and grab her ankle and tug her off the couch and back into the circle so she was now sitting between Luke and Ashton.
"I DARE YOU TO KISS LUKE." Michael dared, the option of truth long forgotten.
"It's my turn you cheat slut." Winnie scowled at him, not even processing what was coming out of her mouth.
"Jeez you wouldn't want to kiss her anyway, her mouth is so dirty." Michael laughed at himself and Winnie had to give him props for being clever so she leaned forward and high-fived him, terribly.
"I dare you, Michael Clifford, to..." She mulled over her options and decided on a cliche. "TO CONNECT THY MOUTH WITH LUKE'S."
"YOU ALREADY USED YOUR PASS YOU IDIOT." Ashton warned and burst into laughter. Luke winked and Calum fell into Ashton from laughing.
"DO THE THING." She egged on.
Michael leaned forward and gave Luke a quick peck on the lips.
"KISS HIM LIKE YOU MEAN IT. THIS IS A ONCE IN A LIFE TIME OPPORTUNITY." Calum reasoned.
"It's okay that'll be my dare for you Calum. You'll get a turn." She grinned devilishly.
"She's trying to make us fall in love." Michael realized and she snorted.
"You're all already in love."
"Fair enough." Luke relented.
"I dare you." Michael pointed at Winnie. "To give Ashton a lap dance!!!!!"
"Alright. Get ready Irwin, I'm about to rock your world-" she was getting up when Michael shrieked at her to stop.
"NEVERMIND."
"I should've used my skip and made you do it." She cackled evilly.
"Come here big boy!" Ashton patted his lap.
"Kiss his cheek!" Michael yelped.
"Which cheek?" She asked before dying of laughter at herself.
"LEFT BUTT CHEEK."
"Take off your panties." She told Ashton, unaffected, and having little limits of uncomfortableness and humility so she was great at this game. Especially five shots in.
"SHOULD I GIVE HIM A BUTT HICKIE?"
There was a chorus of "no"s and "yes"s so she just bit his butt making him squeal and then kissed it.
"You're a real kiss ass." Luke said and he flipped out and stuck her foot out for him to tap with his own but he just bopped his head on it instead.
"That works." She shrugged.
"CALUM HOOD." Ashton dared. "I DARE YOU TO KISS WINNIE!"
"ON THE FOREHEAD!" Michael added protectively.
"Have you had your first kiss before?" Luke asked.
"Of course." She scoffed.
"I haven't." Luke said simply like he was saying he's never seen a tv show.
"Would you be okay with it being a dare?" She wondered, intrigued.
"Well it depends on who." He reasoned and they began conversing seriously.
"True."
"Like I'd kiss y-"
"NO!"
Calum had crawled over and put his hand on Winnie's cheek and pressed his lips to hers for a solid three seconds before Michael tackled him into Ashton.
Winnie's lips tingled again and she could feel her face warm up but she prayed to god her face wasn't getting red.
"AW WAS THIS YOUR FIRST KISS?? YOURE BLUSHING LIKE CRAZY." Ashton observed from underneath two boys.
Her first kiss had been in eighth grade with none other than Michael Clifford when they were sitting on his roof at two in the morning planning to stay up all night to watch the sun rise. They'd brought snacks and pillows and blankets and it was late and they were tired and talking and they decided why the hell not.
She locked eyes with Michael who was sprawled on top of Calum and a wide smile spread across his face, thinking of the same memory.
She blinked and then defended. "I WAS CAUGHT OFF GUARD!"
Ashton giggled and it made Winnie's heart smile it was so adorable and happy.
"Surprise attack!" Calum explained proudly.
"YOU JUST GAVE HER COOTIES." Michael screamed in horror.
"Michael I dare you to kiss Winnie." Calum ordered. "And get off me!"
Michael crawled over to Winnie until he was nose to nose to her. She puffed her cheeks and winked so he mirrored her actions, tapping their lips together awkwardly, the two of them bursting into laughter into each others' mouths.
"A REAL ONE!" Ashton scolded.
Michael gave her a knowing smile. If they weren't busy laughing at each other they could really kiss.
"Shall we put on a good show, my good fellow?" She suggested in a posh accent.
"The people want, what the people want." He shook his head but he was smiling.
"Come here hot stuff."
Michael put one hand on her cheek and the other behind her neck to get leverage. Michael was a great kisser and everything but, especially with the alcohol in her system, she couldn't focus. Winnie was on autopilot and went through the fan fiction list of things to do- the whole open mouth, dancing tongues, biting lips jazz. She was falling asleep it was such a natural and simple thing for them to do. No sparks what so ever.

Michael's head dipped and fell on her chest limply and she laid down from the weight before he struggled to roll onto the carpet.
She curled into his side. "I'm sleepy."
"Wait, I want to kiss Michael like that." Luke protested.
She opened her eyes with difficulty and smirked at him.
"In your dreams." She teased.

Calum Hood
Calum stared at her cuddled into Michael's side and felt an unfamiliar feeling whirl in his stomach. He didn't realize he was glaring lightly until Ashton shot him a strange look.
Calum wasn't jealous. It was just the alcohol swishing in his stomach.
