a room with while they were naked. I quickly realized that the situation must have been awkward for Crystal, and I felt a pang of guilt for unintentionally invading her privacy. Hoping to ease the tension, I apologized and assured her that it was an honest mistake. “Vince also wants to travel with us.” Before Vince chose to butt in with, “How about we converse about this while at the bar?” I stared at Crystal, hoping for her response. Before heading to the bar, I noticed Crystal’s ears perking up. As soon as Crystal was out of my line of sight, Vince leaned in close to my ear and said, “Don’t worry, Augustin, I got this.” I felt a mix of relief and curiosity as Vince seemed confident in handling the situation. As we made our way to the bar, I couldn’t help but wonder how he planned to smooth things over with Crystal. “So,” Vince asked, “what do the two of you want to drink?” Even though I wasn’t the biggest fan of hard drinks, I chose to get the same thing after hearing Crystal ask for a glass of fizzler.
The majority of the evening was spent drinking, and I was surprised to find that I actually became drunk. I didn’t drink much, and the last thing I remembered was Vince taking me up to our shared room. When I woke up, I was in bed. Everything appeared normal, save for the fact that I was not wearing a shirt, which provided the slightest hint of a flush to my cheeks. I noticed Vince sleeping on the lower part of the bed, but he had already woken up. I hastily hid my chest to avoid seeming embarrassing. “What happened the previous evening, Vince? Furthermore, what happened to my shirt?” Vince looked at me with a smirk and said, “Well, you had a little too much to drink last night. As for your shirt, let’s just say it got caught in a hilarious dare that you couldn’t resist.” I couldn’t help but feel a mix of curiosity and embarrassment as I wondered what exactly had transpired during my drunken state. “What was the dare?” The ideas that were circling in my head about what the dare might have been had me frazzled by this point. I noticed a smirk play across Vince’s face, causing me to gulp. I nervously shifted in my seat, hoping Vince would spill the details. “Come on, don’t leave me hanging,” I pleaded, my voice tinged with both anticipation and dread. The mischievous glint in his eyes only grew stronger as he leaned in closer, ready to reveal the outrageous dare that had led to my current predicament. I could hear Vince’s mocking tone as he said, “Well, it depends if you want to hear just about the dare or… who dared you to do it and the dare.” My heart raced as I weighed my options. Curiosity got the better of me, and I replied, “Tell me everything. I want to know who dared me and what this outrageous dare entails.” Vince’s smirk widened, knowing he had piqued my interest even further. The more I heard what the dare was, the more flushed I became, and it didn’t help that his tone had a whiff of mockery in it. “It was me who dared you, and I dared you to take your shirt off and dance on the bed.” My mind raced as I processed Vince’s words. The thought of taking my shirt off and dancing on the bed seemed both exhilarating and embarrassing. I couldn’t help but wonder what his true intentions were behind this dare. However, I made the decision to ignore it and start getting ready. I changed into my attire for the day and headed downstairs with Vince to find Crystal all dressed and prepared. “Good morning, Augustin and Vince.” Crystal greeted us with a warm smile, her eyes filled with curiosity about our conversation. I returned the greeting, trying my best to hide any lingering unease from
