MissCris: Hello my pretties! Here's my next one shot. I have read so many stories about truth or dare games or variations of the game that I thought, why not write one myself? So for your entertainment here's Dare.

The party is barely getting started. That is evident in the faces of ever person in the crowd, they all look pumped, which really says something seeing as it's already two am.

"Brian you ok?" Liam, my best friend, asks from beside me.

I turn to him, "Yeah, lets go get some drinks."

We head over to the table that looks like it should have the drinks somewhere in the middle of the mess littering it. I reach for a cup and see a drink that looks to be punch with spit in it, nice. I grimace as I put it down and find a clean cup.

I don't know why I keep coming to these stupid parties, they're disgusting and so predictable. You come, you get drunk, do something stupid and wake up with a motherfucking headache.

"Brian, look who's here." Liam exclaims as he hits me repeatedly on the arm, I think he's already a little drunk.

"Liam, quit hitting me!" I yell as I turn to look at who he's talking about.

My heart skips a beat and I look away. Connor McBride. My crush and tormentor. Boy am I messed up.

When I came out to my friends about six months ago about being gay the news spread like wildfire, not that I wasn't expecting it to. But the speed was alarming. As the news began to circulate the taunts began and the tormenting.

Especially from the jocks, mainly Connor. He's the captain of the soccor team and basically the social ruler of the school. No one stands up to him, figuratively and metaphorically, he's like six three and can scortch you with a single glare.

Then why you ask if he torments me do I like him? Well, he wasn't always like that, before I came out he was my friend. We hung out a lot and I got to know the real him, or so I thought. But still, when I came out and he started, for lack of a better word, bullying me I still remembered the boy knew and the feelings I had for him never went away.

But that's worse because the guy you would give anything to be with is the one person to cause you the most pain.

"Bri, your dozing again." Liam says bringing me back to reality.

I take a deep breath and look back over to where Connor is, he's looking at me. Crap. I turn away quickly, not here, please not tonight.

"Why's he looking at you?" Liam asks, his words are slurred, yep definetly drunk, great.

Because it my bad luck night? I think sarcastically.

"He's coming over!" Liam practically yells tugging on my arm.

"Liam, I need my arm!" he lets go.

I can feel him, his presence behind me. I muster up the courage to turn and find him there, really close.

I swallow.

"OKAY EVERYBODY WHO WANTS TO PLAY DARE?" Mimi yells across the room breaking the staring contest Connor and I are having.

The whole rooms erupts into yells of yes and boos. Im a booer myself but I'll do anything at this point to get away from Connor and his taunts that are sure to come.

"EVERYONE WHO WANTS TO PLAY GO OUT TO THE BACK LAWN!" Mimi yells and turns around skipping back outside, her black ringlest bobbing against her shoulders.

I grab Liam's arms and pull him around Connor and head to the back  lawn. When we get there a group of kids are already sitting on the lawn in a circle which Mimi is standing in the middle of holding a hat.

I pull Liam down to sit in the circle, he stumbles and ends up lying down. I look over at the people in the group and see many  my classmates, some friends, some bullies and some who just ignore me.

Mimi is abou to explain the rules when three more people join the cirlce and I almost groan out loud. It's Connor and Mitch and Ted, why does God hate me today?

"Ok guys, the rules are simple," Mimi says in her honey sweet voice, "this is a verson of truth or dare. We're all gonna write our names on a slip of paper and put them in this hat, then we'll each pick a different name from the hat and whoever you get will have to do what you dare them to no matter what."

I can't help a feeling of dread from coming over me as I write my name on a slip of paper and put it in the hat. There are people here, who given the power over me, could cause me a lot of pain. Lord, what have I gotten myself into?

"Ok, now that all the names are in we all pick a new one." Mimi says smiling as she reaches into the hat and pulls out a name, "Ashley. I dare you to.... take off your top!"

I groan as Ashley gets up and takes her shirt off, it's a good thing it's seventy degrees outside.

Mimi hands the hat to the next person in the circle and they pick a name and so on and so on. After about six people my name is still not called and the hat is getting closer and closer to Connor.

The next person to get the hat is Chloe, my younger sister, "Brian." she says a devilish look in her eyes. Crap, my sister is the Devil himself. And she also knows about Connor, please don't let her dare me to tell who I like.

"Brian I dare you to...." she pauses dramatically, "kiss..." she wouldn't dare! "Connor." she finishes, if looks could kill my sister would be six feet under!

Connor, who had been checking his phone jerks up and looks directly at me. I gulp. This is bad, this is real bad.

I look over at my sister, "I'm gonna kill you, you liitle brat!" I growl at her.

"Fine, but kill me after you kiss, you put your name in the hat now you have to do what I say."

I can feel my breathe esscelate at the thought of kissing the boy I like, but also at the thought of what will happen to me afterwards.

With my heart beating a million beats per second I get up from where I'm sitting and walk over to Connor. The whole circle is quiet. Everyone here knows I'm gay and that Connor is the main guy to make my life Hell in school because of it.

When I'm standing directly in front of him I kneel down so that I'm face level with him. I look at his eyes and see they're a little glassed over, maybe he's drunk enough that he won't remember any of this, a guy can dream.

I can feel my heart in my throut as I reach up and grab his face with my hands and lean in and touch his lips with mine. It's a gentle brush meant only to fufill the stupid dare but to me it means so much more.

As I pull back I see Connor looking at me with a pained expression and I know he's not drunk enough to forget this. I get up and walk over to where Liam is sprawled on the lawn asleep. Nobody has said anything and I feel like crawlign into a hole, after biting my sisters head of of course. I'm gonna kill her!

My breath is still coming out in fast shot bursts but for a different rerason now, now I'm trying to fight back the tears from the thought of the humiliation this will bring me in school.

I reach Liam but I don't stop and sit down I continue walking, past the cricle, past the house and to my car. Chloe can see that Liam gets home ok, it's her fault this is happening anyway.

I reach my car and unlock it opening the door to get in when a bronzed hand closes it.

"Where do you think your going?" a deep rich voice asks from behind me and I have to supress a shiver at the sound of Connors voice.

"H-Home." I say not turing around, trying to sound braver than I feel.

"After that, your gonna leave like nothing happened?"

"Nothing happened, I have to go." I croak out openign my or again only to have it closed before I can even blink.

"You still haven't figured it out, have you?" he whispers in my ear and this time I do shiver.

"W-w-what?" I gasp.

"The whole school knows at least my friends and apparently your sister." he continues to whisper leaning farther down.

"I don't know what you're talking about." I say confused.

Connor doesn't say anything and the next thing I know I feel his hot lips press against my neck. I gasp at the incredible feeling. I feel him smile and kiss me one more time before turing me around.

"Still don't know?" he asks, I shake my head totally in a daze.

He leans his head down and captures my lips with his. This kiss is completely different from the one I gave him, this one is heat, pure and simple. His mouth lips are demanding and I'm willing to give him anything, I yield to him and feel his hands in my hair making me groan.

We pull back from the kiss breathing hard. I look at him and see a slight smile play on his lips before he leans over ot my ear and whispers, "You gotta do what they dare you to do."

My breathing faulters as his words sink in and I realize why he came over here and kissed me like that. I swallow back the tears that threaten to spill over and turn to leave but I'm grabbed and spun around again.

Connor's hot breath is on my ear again, "You gotta do what they dare you to do, and pretend it's something you hate even when it's your biggest wish." he says and places a soft kiss on my ear.

He lets me go and walks back to the house and the party. I wash him leave stunned, I can still feel the warmth of his lips on ly ear.

A small smile works it's way onto my face as I realize what he said. I turn to my car and get in.

I think I'm starting to like these parties.
