Okay I lied I’m posting this now since I can’t sleep.

As soon as Mina drags us into their game of truth or dare, I know there’s going to be trouble. If it had been just the inners, maybe it would have been fine. Fun, even. But they are here. I try to make an excuse. You wave it off. I know they’d never break you, but I’m not that strong.
It’s alright for a few rounds, until Yaten gets that look in their eye. “Michiru. Truth or dare?”
You flip your hair, ready for the challenge. “Dare.”
I really wish you hadn’t said that.
Yaten smiles. “I dare you to kiss the most attractive person in the room who isn’t Haruka.”
“Will you be providing the mirror, or should I summon mine?”
I bite into my hand to keep from screaming. This isn’t going to end well. Seiya shifts forward in her seat. If you choose her, I swear I’ll break something.
“While your narcissism is certainly entertaining, I hardly think that would count.” Yaten puts their hand in their chin. “We’re waiting, Ms. Kaioh.”
“And I suppose I’m right to assume this is to be a full mouth kiss?”
Why did you ask? You could have gotten away with a peck on the cheek if you hadn’t.
“Yes.”
My heart pounds in my chest. Mako would be an alright choice, if it came down to it. Thought maybe I only think so because I trust her; she’s too genuine to take anything from it. Even if you really were attracted to her. Are you?
“Well, there’s one objectively right choice, isn’t there?” You stand up. Choose Mako, I plead in my head. Or Usagi, she’s innocent enough.
But you don’t walk to either of them.
Or Seiya.
Before anyone can process your choice, you’ve dipped Mina from her seat on the couch arm and kissed her. Mina’s eyes are wide even as you walk away.
“Goddess of love and beauty, you know,” you say as you sit down next to me. “The obvious choice.”
“Well,” Mina says, “that’s hard logic to argue with.”
Your eyes harden. I can see revenge forming in your mind. “So, Seiya, truth or dare?”
I groan and bury my face in a couch cushion.
