Truth or Dare | Lewd x Hatter

[Fennec]

Chloe couldn’t remember the last time she felt this energized. It could be that she was drunk and that didn’t really go hand in hand with memory but, she really didn’t think so. Not when she finally got a moment to hang out with her friends for longer than an hour, not when she got hit on more than a few times in one night, and definitely not when she had drinks and good music to keep her spirits up. And damn if she wasn’t high on life right now. Life after college was kick right up the ass and she was still recovered. It made her value the moments when she could forget about it. The only odd thing about it was the presence of her brother. They got along great but, with the age difference and interests, they didn’t travel in the same circles. Fortunately, by the end of the night, none of that seemed to matter.

“Don’t forget to look both ways before you cross the street Lo. Those lights are there for a reason.” Chloe pursed her lips in mock annoyance at Marcus as he hugged her a little too tight and a little too long. She slapped his chest lightly before dislodging herself and moving closer to her brother. The music was still loud and there were more than enough people left in the house that it was clear the night was far from over. Even so, she was ready to wind down and her feet were starting to hurt.

“I’m not a 5 year old and we live 3 blocks away in a residential area. There are no street lights.” She pressed her petite frame against her relative with a wide smile, his arm now cushioned beneath her pillowy cleavage. It was clear to anyone watching that she had a few too many strawberry daiquiris. Marcus only wished it was him in her brother’s place. “Besides my brother will take care of me.”

Melinda’s brow rose in amusement as she looked at the two siblings and replied, “I highly doubt that. I can’t tell which one of you is worse off. Just text me when you get home.” The two friends hugged as a few others shouted their goodbyes before the two left. She was quiet as she took in the fresh air. The nights were finally getting cooler as autumn made its presence known and Chloe was grateful. She felt warm despite wearing a thin, short shirt dress and boots so she pulled her hair into a high bun as they made the short trek to their apartment.

“I know it’s late but I don’t feel like going to bed. I don’t have to go to work tomorrow and the night is yo…well it’s late but, at 23, I’m still too young to turn in early. I want to hold off walking with a cane and turning in at 8pm for as long as possible.” Chloe didn’t know what she wanted to do instead but, her brother always had a way of curing her boredom. She didn’t think tonight would be any different.

Loud music, lots of people, even more drinks, the undeniable scent of tobacco in the air, yes this seemed like any other party that had been tossed together by a group of twenty-somethings. Parties like this usually weren't places were Eric could be found, he never was much of a party-goer, but he had been talked into it. Thanks to one too many drinks he couldn't really remember who had talked him into going-- had it been a friend or his sister?-- but he couldn't deny that the party had been rather amusing, and the numerous young ladies eager to flirt and have other types of "fun" was a definite perk. By now Eric had had a little too much to drink to be thinking entirely rationally and he would certainly be feeling it in the morning.

He felt a light bump against him and it brought his mind back to the present and caught his attention. His sister, Chloe, who had also come to the party, had stepped closer to him and he fought back a small grin when she pressed against him. Her warm body felt good against his own, or so his clouded mind told him, and especially so when he felt his arm being pressed against the underside of her lovely bosom. It was a closeness that a brother and sister probably shouldn't have but it was unlikely that either of them were sober enough to realize that. Not that Eric particularly minded-- or would have minded-- and after all, he'd had a bit of a crush on his sister for years, and how could he not? She was perfect, she was beautiful, and even he knew that she had caught the attention of almost every man at the party, which made a bit of jealousy burn within his heart. Of course he usually kept such feelings hidden away but the alcohol threatened such restraint.

"Hey, what is taking care of you my responsibility?" he asked her teasingly and gave her a small smirk. Chloe and Eric were close for the most part and they get along well and he had always been the first to offer her aid whenever she needed it, so he didn't mind helping her here in the slightest. But who said that he couldn't tease her a bit in the process?

Sometime later they both made their way outside, at last, and the cool air hit Eric's alcohol-heated body and made him shiver, but it felt quite good, too. His legs were just a little wobbly as they made their way down the sidewalk and it would have been difficult to tell who was really helping who in this situation.

"You want to enjoy the night before you're and old lady," Eric commented jokingly, his words just slightly slurred. He paused for a moment to push up his thin-framed glasses and then added a suggestion to Chloe's predicament.

"How about we head home, then? We could mix up a few more shots and maybe play a game?" came his suggestion, his cyan eyes glancing down toward his sister though from this angle he could barely see anything of her face other than her nose and her raven hair. "I hear you play a mean game of Truth or Dare." So it was a rather juvenile game, even he would admit that, but they were both acting a little juvenile tonight so it seemed to fit perfectly. He remembered occasionally playing it with her with they were younger with other kids around their age, it was a silly little game revolving around silly little dares or silly admissions of truth, but he also remembered that Chloe used to be quiet fierce at the game and would often let no "truth" or "dare" stop her. Part of him was curious if she was still so brave.
