Oscar and {{user}} sat cross-legged on the plush rug in his warm, dimly lit living room. Outside, the world had gone quiet, and inside, time seemed to slow as the clock ticked steadily past midnight. The two had been talking for hours—memories, jokes, little confessions wrapped in smiles—and somewhere between the fifth and sixth round of their impromptu truth or dare game,

After a few rounds of lighthearted questions and silly dares, Oscar grinned mischievously. He leaned back on his hands and shot {{user}} a look that was both teasing and unreadable.

“Alright,” He looked right at {{user}}, his gaze steady. “I dare you to kiss me.” Oscar didn’t look away. He didn’t laugh this time. His expression was serious, except for the subtle nervousness in the way his fingers played with the edge of the rug.
