Chapter 4
*Dante's PoV* (Someone new!!)
We all make a sort of circle in the living room, some of us sitting on the couch, others sitting on the floor.
"Are we ready?" Aphmau chirps from her spot on the arm of the couch.
"Oh yeah!" Travis fist bumps the air.
"As I'll ever be," Garroth glares slightly at Aphmau. She ignores it.
"Good! 'Cause you don't get a choice!" she yells.
"Kawaii~Chan will go first!" Kawaii~Chan says cheerily then clearing her throat. "Travis~Kun. Truth or dare?"
"Dare!" the green-eyed boy yells.
"Kawaii~Chan dares you to... hmm... be silent for the next five minutes!"
"Awe what?"
"Ah! Travis!" I say, silencing him and pulling out my phone, "I got the timer!"
"Fine."
"And..." I press the 'Start' button, "Go!"
Travis is obviously trying his best not to say a word. The rest of us are piles of laughing mess. After the five minutes is up, Travis immediately says a bunch of random sentences as if they he has somehow made into all one word. He takes a deep breath before the next truth or dare. He scans the room.
"Lauren," he says, pointing to Laurance's twin, "Truth or dare?"
"Truth," she states simply.
"Do you... have a crush on anyone?"
Lauren blushes bright. "M-maybe..."
"No, sis," Laurance teases, "It has to be a yes or no!"
"Grr fine! Yes."
The entire room fills with 'ooh's. Laurance asks who it is and if he knows him, protective brother mode; activated, but she just answers by saying that that wasn't Travis' question, so she doesn't have to answer. Just as she is about to ask her truth or dare, Aphmau leans over and whispers something in her ear.
"What? No! ....... He's not gonna ........ Ugh! Fine," Lauren says with an eye roll, "Laurance. Truth or dare?"
"Truth!" he yells triumphantly, pointing at his sister, "Ha ha!!"
"Do you have a crush on anyone in this room?"
"Crap!"
*Laurance's PoV*
Evil.
Like you can say anything.
I blush bright red. "M-maybe."
"See Laurance. This just proves we're twins. It has to be a yes or no!"
"I hate you!"
"Hate you too bro. Now answer the question."
I look down so my unkept brunette hair covers my face. I side glance towards Garroth.
"Yes," I say finally.
"Ooh!" Vlyad yells next to me.
"Who?" Katelyn says, leaning so far forward she almost topples over. Well she seems hopeful. Too late, honey! I'm gay!
"I'M NOT ANSWERING THAT!!!" I yell, looking up.
Everyone laughs... except Ren. She stares at me for a moment before pointing to her eyes. I immediately know what she means and try relaxing, putting my head in my hands. I look back up at her and give her a curious look. She nods. I hope that doesn't happen again.
I clear my throat, getting everyone's attention.
"Aphmau," I say. No, I didn't just voice crack. Everything's fine. "Truth or dare?"
"Truth," she says, skinckering slightly.
"What was the last thing you searched for on your phone?" I ask.
She takes out her phone and after a few taps her eyes widen, and she blushes slightly. Ren taps her on the shoulder and Aph shows her the phone. My sister grins before turning away laughing. Aaron asks her what's on the phone and she shows him. He sighs and puts his head in his hands.
"Aph, what is it?" I ask.
"I'm not gonna say it aloud!" she says defensively.
"Well you at least have to show me." I get up and walk towards the other side of the circle where Aphmau is sitting. She tries to hide the phone for a moment, but she eventually shows me. I blush instantly. She searched up a Garrence fan fiction.
"What did she search for?" Dante asks in anticipation.
"I....... am not saying," I say, walking back to my spot, a bright red blush on my face. "Aph your turn."
"Okay... Kim," Aphmau says, "Truth or dare?"
"U-uh... truth," the shy bronde answers.
"Are you straight?"
"A-APHMAU!!" Kim yells, "WHY WOULD YOU EVEN THINK TO ASK THAT??"
"Kim just answer the question," Lucinda says, rather nervously.
"U-uh. No, I'm bi," Kim says.
"Woah really?" Garroth says.
"Yay!" KC fangirls, "Now Kawaii~Chan's ship can happen!"
"K-Kawaii~Chan?" Kim asks astonished and embarrassed, "W-who do you ship me with?"
"Kawaii~Chan," Zane says, calming the meif'wa down, "Kim, your turn."
"Okay, uh... Lucinda. Truth or dare?"
"Uh, truth," the orange-haired witch responds.
"Do Shadow Knights, as in the race, still exist?"
"Why would you ask that question?"
"Well, we all thought ghosts weren't real, and that turned out to be a lie. And you seem to know a lot about this sort of stuff. Also I've been kinda curious lately."
"True, true..."
"Wait? WHAT?!" Travis half screams.
"You had an encounter with a ghost Kim?" I ask curiously.
"Well," Kim begins, but not in her own voice, "I'd say it's more than an encounter, but that works too." After that, she screams slightly.
"Huh?" Dante says, confused.
"Woah, woah, wait..." Katelyn says, "That wasn't your own voice."
"Yeah... about that..." Aaron says.
"Something may have happened when we went to the lodge on Bunny Hill a year ago," Garroth finishes.
"Awe cool!" my twin and I exclaim in unison.
"Anyways, to answer your question, Kim," Lucinda starts, "No. Shadow Knights have been known to be extinct for years, and most of their bloodlines have been cut off or have lost their power. If there are any Shadow Knights left, they'd either be underground by now, or hiding in plain sight. I don't know of any situations like that however, so, no I don't think any still exist."
"They're supposed to be evil, aren't they?" Aaron asks Lucinda.
"Yeah, that's what they were described as. If I met one, they'd better give me a good reason as to why I shouldn't kill them though. I do not trust them"
Ren and I share a look. Shit... if we're found... we're screwed.
"Heh, while that's all interesting Lucinda," I start.
"We kinda have a game to finish," Ren finishes for me.
"Wow," Aph says before gasping dramatically, "Wait. Can you two do that thing where you can read each other's minds?"
"Sometimes," we both answer.
"Back to the game now," Travis interrupts, "Luci, go."
Lucinda rolls her eyes before asking. "Laurance. Truth or dare?"
"Uh... dare," I state. What could go wrong? It's not like she knows anything.
"I dare you... to... kiss Garroth."
"Wait WHAT??"
I blush hard. Glancing over at Garroth, I can see he is too. Lucinda why??
I told you this game was a bad idea.
And you thought Ren was evil.
THEY'RE BOTH EVIL!!
And you're not?
... Fair point.
Shut up.
"I-I, uh..." Garroth stutters. My Irene, he's adorable when he stutters! Wait... no! Bad Laurance! Act straight!
Bit late for that!
I look at the other side of the circle to see Aphmau and Ren sharing a look. Then looking at us. Then turning back to each other giggling. Okay. They're evil. You were right.
I turn back to Garroth, who's red as a tomato. I guess I am too. Lucinda. I. Hate. You. I must have said that aloud because she just laughs and says;
"Awe, so you don't wanna kiss Garroth?"
This causes the two of us to blush more. Damn it Lucinda!!
*Garroth's PoV*
She dared Laurance to WHAT? OhmyIreneohmyIreneohmyIrene! I don't know if I'm fanboying, or panicking. Probably the later. He leans in slightly.
"U-u-uh. N-no!" I stutter, "Y-you don't h-have to!" Damn it! Why'd I have to stutter?
"N-no," Laurance says. I thought I was the stutter king. "I-I don't have to."
I sigh and turn away, but before I could do much, Laurance turns my head towards him and kisses me. My eyes widen in shock. Is he kissing me? Am I kissing back? I MUST BE DREAMING!!!!!
He pulls away, blushing beet red. So am I.
"I-I want to," he whispers so only I can hear. Wait... he said what now?
The rest of the group is staring at us, wide-eyed and shocked. Well, except Aphmau, Katelyn, Kawaii~Chan and Ren. They're a giggling mess. Wait... does Ren know? GR! APHMAU!!
"I-I..." I stutter, "U-uh... GOTTA GO uh FEED MY CAT!!" I sprint out of the house through the empty door frame and down the porch. I run to the side of the house and sit there. I start crying softly.
That... did not just happen.
*Laurance's PoV*
Garroth just leaves, his eyes were filled with tears. I could see them. I glare at Lucinda before instinctively getting up and following him. I walk through the doorway, calling out for him. No answer.
I eventually find him next to the house, crying. He obviously doesn't notice me. He's talking to himself.
"No, he didn't say that," he rants, "There's no way he'd like you back. You're just some blonde, gay lunatic who no one will ever love."
"Heh," I say aloud accidently, causing him to jump. "Amazing. Everything you just said, is completely wrong."
"L-Laurance! You heard that?"
"Heh, maybe," I blush as I walk over and sit next to him. "Garroth, I've got something to tell you."
"H-huh?"
"Garroth, we've been friends since I got adopted. That's a long time. I... I never thought of you as anything more than a great friend but... now... I want to be something more..."
Huh, Laurance... WHAT ARE YOU DOING? HE'S GONNA SAY NO!!!
SHUT IT!!
"L-Laurance?" Garroth stutters, "W-what are you saying?"
"G-Garroth," damn, I'm stuttering now too. It's contagious! "I-I... I like you... as more than a friend."
He gasps, more tears forming in his eyes. He's blushing super red. He puts his head in his hands. He probably doesn't like me back...
"L-Laurance," he says finally.
"I-I get it if you don't feel the same... Sorry for bothering y—" He cuts me off with a kiss. My eyes widen at first, by they flutter shut and I kiss back, wrapping my arms around his neck. We pull away. So maybe he does...
"Laurance," he says it more confidently now, "Don't think that. I... I like you back."
