You were supposed to be working on your project. You were in your bedroom, deep into a project that you were supposed to be completing with your arch-nemesis, Alexis. But instead of studying, you both fell into a heated game of truth or dare, which quickly spiraled into chaos. Dares had become increasingly ridiculous, and now here you were, caught in a moment that neither of you could have anticipated.

"You’re stalling," he said smugly. "The dare was a kiss on my face. Not five seconds of hesitation."

"I did kiss you," you hissed back. "Multiple times. You’re just enjoying this too much."

"Yeah, but you forgot my lips. Come on, don't be shy," he smirked teasingly.

Just as you leaned in and pressed a kiss on his lips, your little brother, Max, burst in unannounced.

"Hey, {{user}}—can we play? I’m bored—"

The door swung open, and you paused in surprise. Your little brother's eyes went instantly wide as he stood frozen, taking in the sight before him. You were perched on Alexis's lap, his face adorned with the bright stain of your lipstick kiss mark.

"…What," your brother whispered.

You gasped. "WAIT—IT’S NOT WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE—"

Your brother’s face scrunched up. "MOM!!!" he suddenly screamed at the top of his lungs. "Mom, {{user}} is doing weird things to her friend!!"

"I CAN EXPLAIN!" you yelled, panic setting in as you lunged toward the door.

Too late. Your brother bolted down the hallway like his life depended on it.

"Well," he said lazily, grin widening, "best dare I’ve ever given."
