Lafayettes’ POV

“Theos’ been acting weird recently but given that I accidentally figured out he’s gay only two days ago I guess I understand. I wish he’d talk to me though” I thought as we walked into the house where the party was being held. Walking through towards the kitchen with Theo following me, Caroline found me and wrapped her arms around mine as Theo kept walking. I couldn’t see his face but I could somehow knew he was irritated right up until Caroline kissed me, then suddenly a feeling of sadness washed over me but I knew it wasn’t from me which only confused me more. Pushing those feelings aside, I wrapped an arm around Caroline before leading us towards the kitchen where everyone was staring at Theo.

“Why is everyone staring at you?” I asked curiously.

“Nothing, don’t worry about it” he growled taking another drink of his beer and turning away leaving the room. Giving him a few minutes to get himself back together, I socialized for a few minutes before getting invited to play Truth or Dare. Looking at Caroline, I said “I'll be back in a few, I need to go check on Theo since he's not great in crowds.” Kissing me again, she said “Okay baby” before following the group to the living room. Heading out to the back porch, I found Theo right where I thought I would and asked “is this part of what you were dealing with in the car or is this something else?”

“A little of both I guess. How’d you manage to lose your floozie?” he asked still refusing to look at me. Rolling my eyes, I said “okay... I didn’t lose her. I told her I needed to talk to you and we were getting ready to play Truth or Dare if you want to join us” as I leaned my back against the railing.

“Sure, why not. I can’t wait to see what stupid shit people are forced to do” he said not knowing that this simple decision would change our lives forever. As we headed back inside, I stopped by the kitchen to grab a beer before we headed to the living room to join the others.

Joining the circle minutes later, Theo sat to my left and Caroline on my right as the game began. The game slowly progressed through most of the group who either told us all something embarrassing or completed some challenge until it was my turn. Cristian, our host, asked “Fay, Truth or Dare” and me being the brave guy I am answered “Dare” which seemingly made Theo stiffen as his anxiety heightened.

“Oooh brave are we. Alright then, I dare you to kiss Theo in front of Caroline” Cristian snickered as much of the group followed since they didn't know about either of our sexualities. Taking a deep breath, I turned to face Theo only to see something in his eyes I'd never seen before. Meeting his eyes, I asked "you okay with this?"

"No, but let's just get it over with" he answered. Nodding, I leaned in and lightly pressed our lips together before quickly pulling away as Cristian yelled "that's not a kiss! We all know you can kiss like a man, Fay. So, do it!"

“Ca te va?” I asked meeting his eyes again.

"Tengo eleccion? Y no dijimos que nos quedamos con el ingles por ahora?" he said looking away.

"Etes-vous sur parce que vous venez de le dire en espagnol? Tu sais que to peux me parler de n'importe quoi, n'est-ce pas?" I said trying to reassure him before he switched back to English and said "let's just get this over with." Lacing my fingers through his black hair at the base of his neck, I pressed our lips together in a more passionate kiss before swiping my tongue across his bottom lip causing him to gasp allowing me to deepen the kiss. As I did, I suddenly didn't want to kiss anyone else every again causing me to pull back quickly as he blushed and covered his mouth. As I looked at my hands trying to get a grip on my emotions, Theo got up and ran outside.

"Should you go check on him" Caroline asked wrapping her arms around my right bicep.

"Nah, he needs a few minutes to get himself together. It would only cause a fight if I was to try to talk to him right now" I shrugged as she snuggled closer before asking "should we just go on without him?"

"Yeah, let's just give him some time" I said and as the game moved on all I could think about was "why do I feel like I don't want to kiss anyone else for the rest of my life? Why do I suddenly feel like I'm being pulled towards him? Why did kissing him feel so right?"

Theodores' POV

"Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god! I can't believe I just kissed him! Dios mio, por que le deje hacer eso?" I thought having a mental freak out while my emotions were on a roller coaster. As I ran from the house and climbed into my truck, I could feel the tears streaming down my face as I lay against the steering wheel. While I sat there crying and mentally freaking out, mom popped in my head and gently asked "que esta mal mi hijo?"

"Besamos a mama. Era parte de un juego, pero fue un beso de verdad y ahora estoy seguro de que ser mi companero y tengo miedo" I thought back as more tears streamed down my face.

"Como estas segura bebe?" she asked gently.

"Porque no quiero besar a nadie mas. Se sentia tan bien besarlo. Se que el tambien sintio algo porque se aparto primero y vi un destello de algo en su rostro antes de que apartara la mirada que parecia confusion y anhelo" I thought as I wiped my face. Switching to English, mom asked "are you okay? I take it you ran off like you usually do when you're scared. So, where are you because I'm going to send your father to get you."

"I did, I'm outside in my truck. I don't think I can face him again yet. So, go ahead and send dad to come get me. Thanks mom" I thought as I looked up to see Caroline coming towards my truck. Turning the key just enough to turn on the electronics, I rolled down the window slightly as she stopped next to it and asked "I know he said it was better to leave you alone right now but I just wanted to make sure you're okay to drive if you're planning to leave."

"I'm not but my dad is coming to get me. I assume you can take care of Fay for the night. If not just use his left thumb to unlock his phone and call Estaban, that's my dad. He'll take care of picking him up and getting him home" I explained as a taxi pulled up in behind my truck and my dad got out. Walking up to the drivers door, he asked "you okay kiddo?"

"Yeah dad, Caroline was just checking to make sure I was safe to drive. I told her you were coming for me and that if she can't take care of Fay to call you and you'd come get him" I told him sliding across the bench seat into the passenger seat. Nodding, he turned back to Caroline and asked "did he tell you how to get a hold of me?"

"Yes sir. I just have to use Fays' own hand to unlock his phone and call the person named Estaban in his contacts" she smiled at him making me want to puke.

"That's right. Don't hesitate to call if he gets too out of hand, okay. Try to have fun but be safe still" he said climbing in the drivers seat.

"Okay Mr. Draven, you guys have a good night too" she called as dad backed my truck out of the driveway. We were quiet for the first half the drive before he asked "are you okay bud?"

"Did mom tell you anything?" I asked looking out the window as another tear slid down my face.

"She told me that you were upset because something happened with Fay and that you were too drunk to drive home safely before sending me to get you" he said.

"Well she's half right. Something did happen with Fay but I wouldn't say I was too drunk to drive home. I only had one and a half beers but because of what happened I'm not in a safe head space to drive home" I explained before a sob escaped.

"What happened bud? You know it's better for you to talk about it than to keep it in" he gently coaxed. Taking a deep shuttering breath, I said "we we're playing Truth or Dare and Cristian, the host of that party, dared Fay to kiss me in front of Caroline, the girl you were just talking to and Fays' current girlfriend. He did a simple peck on the lips which didn't cause anything odd to happen then Cristian threw a fit saying it wasn't a real kiss and goated Fay into a more romantic kiss. He asked if I was okay with it in French, I answered in spanish asking if I had a choice and to get it over with. He said something like are you sure and all i did was nod. Then he kissed me, licked my bottom lip making me gasp and slid his tongue in my mouth which is when things went weird for me. It felt so right to kiss him like his lips were the only ones I was ever meant to kiss making me sure he had to be my mate then he suddenly pulled away and I caught a glimpse of what looked like confusion and longing on his face before he looked away hiding his emotions. Then of course I did what I always do when I get freaked out, I ran out to my truck and cried which must've sent something to Kora because mom popped in my head asking what was wrong. I told her everything I just told you and kept crying until Caroline came out and you showed up." We were silent for the last few blocks as we approached the house while I cried. As soon as the truck was parked in the driveway, the front door opened and all three girls came running out towards the truck. The second I was outside the truck, they wrapped me in a group hug that only made me cry more as they gently guided me towards the house. Pulling me into the living room, the sat me on the couch and surrounded me trying to comfort me as I cried more out of pure fear.

I must've cried myself to sleep because the next morning I woke up in my room in a t-shirt and the sweat pants I'd left on my chair with no memory of coming to bed. Just as that thought crossed my mind as I sat on the edge of my bed, a knock sounded on my door and dad popped his head in before opening the door and coming in with a glass of water and some pills. Sitting down next to me, he said "I carried you to bed after you cried yourself to sleep and yes, I changed you out of your jeans too. Here, take these for the headache. You should also know, Fay is home safe. Caroline did call me to get him last night and he was a real mess. I wouldn't expect to hear from him until at least this evening if at all for a few days."

"Thanks dad, I'm sorry everything is such a mess" I said taking the pills and drinking all the water.

"No worries kiddo, that's what parents are for. You should also check in with your sisters since they've been worried about you all day" he chuckled pulling me into a side hug.

"I'll do that" I chuckled back as my door creaked open again and both girls popped their heads in one above the other. Laughing, I said "they must've been summoned by the mere mention of them." Nodding, dad laughed too before saying "or they were in the hall the entire time. By the way, mom says breakfast is ready. I know you probably don't want to eat but you need to given how much you cried last night."

"And we won't take no for an answer either" the girls said coming to stand in front of eme. Sighing, I gave them each a hand and said "I'm your prisoner, do with me as you will" which made everyone laugh before Teia said "at least he's still got his twisted sense of humor."

"Hey, you like my odd sense of humor so don't act like you don't" I said as Teia froze for a second before her expression shifted and she said "he's here." No one had to explain who they were talking about because we all knew she meant Fay.
