Truth or Dare - random

"Why would I want to do something that cliché?" Lloyd argued earlier that night.

"Oh, come on buddy! This'll be your chance to find out if he likes you!" Nya chuckled.

"So? Even if I do, I'll still be embarrassed by someone in the end!"

"So I can't convince you?"

"Absolutely not!"

And yet, against all odds, Lloyd was here.

Well, maybe it was the candy Nya bribed him with, in an attempt to make the blonde play this odd game. And though it worked, the more sensible answer was because he'd have and excuse to see him for at least another hour.

The 'him' in question was the blonde's year-long crush; Kai Smith. For ages, Lloyd's tried his best to suppress his feelings for the spiky-haired boy. And it worked...at least for Kai. Though it didn't take long for the others to notice. They've tried multiple times to help Lloyd confess, but it didn't work.

As he popped another gumball into his mouth, the game started. The game may have been fun if Lloyd was actually paying attention. The only thing he was 'worried' about was whatever sinister dare or question would be asked of him on his turn.

And that turn came quicker than he excpected; Nya turning to him with an evil smile. "Truth or dare?"

"...dare." he said with as much confidence he could.

"That didn't sound confident." Cole chuckled. Welp. He tried.

"Well no but anyways...bro, you're gonna have to leave for this one." She laughed. Rolling his eyes, the brunt left the room for the balcony as the others laughed.

Walking to the railing, Kai propped himself up in between two of the posts, and started to think.

Truth be told, he didn't care much for the game to begin with. What's on Kai's mind is his sexuality, and that of a certain blonde's.

It only seems that his sister knows, but Kai has had a crush on Lloyd since he grew up. Since then, they've only grown closer. For months, he's tried denying it, but he just can't seem to do so.

"Okay, so what's the dare?" Lloyd started to get worried about what the question may be.

"Well," Nya began scooting closer to the blonde. "You...have to confess."

"W-What?!"

"It's on the paper, dude." Cole chuckled. Lloyd snatched said paper out of his hand and quickly read it. Indeed, the slip read; 'confess to crush'. 'Who the fuck wrote this-'

"I mean, it can't be that hard. Kai already likes you so it should go well." Jay stated.

"Indeed, I'm sure everything will be okay!" Zane nodded.

Lloyd was about to shoot it down, and leave the room to go sulk in his room. But... he's been waiting to confess for far too long. And with his friends, by his side, this gave the blonde the confidence to do it.

(I got lazy with the confession part so here's a lazy version;)

"H-Hey."

"Why are you out here? 'She dare you to leave?"

"N-no."

"Oh. Wait, why are you stuttering-"

"Kai, I have to tell you something."

"Uh...okay?"

"I've...liked you for...a-a while now. And I knew that if i waited any longer to come clean, I never would. So I'm telling you now but, please don't let this ruin our friend ship. I-I love you. Like-more than a friend."

"..."

"I knew I shouldn't have told you-Kai I'm so sorry I just-"

"...you really like me?"

"Well yeah but-"

"Lloyd...I love you too."

"R-Really?!"

"Of course! I always thought you were straight!"

"Me too! So...are we like...an item now?"

"If...you want to be."

"I'd like that."

The two were about to kiss when-

"Mission accomplished!"

The flustered couple turned to see their friends happily clapping, as if this was planned.

"The hell?" Kai asked as Lloyd began to laugh from embarrassment.

"Sorry bro, but it was planned!" Nya snorted. Jay and Cole nodded and went back inside to play video games.

"The whole point of this was to get you to confess to Lloyd." Zane added.

"Wait, Really? I thought-"

"I'm gonna whoop your ass." Kai interrupted the blonde, giving the droid a death glare.

"I suppose you could, but I think Lloyd would appreciate it if that was done to him instead." Zane gave a smug smirk.

Lloyd stayed there speechless with a red-stained face. Nya stood next to him laughing as well but with jer camera, recording his reaction as Kai angrily chased Zane around the Bounty.
