Tea for Three (Amos, Leiken)

[Juniper Birdsong]

Juniper watched in amusement as Amos redid Lei's hair, clapping and giggling as he finished. "Oh Lei, you're so pretty!" she told him, kissing his cheek.

Amos spun, she picked dare once more.

"Ewww," she wrinkled her nose. But, she had to do it, and hey, at least it didn't involve French kissing. She went to the fridge and pulled out the bottle, grabbing a spoon before coming back and sitting on the floor. She gave a weary sigh. "If I'm going to do any more kissing today, it's not my fault my breath smells like ketchup," she told them. Then, closing her eyes, she quickly downed the stuff, gagging slightly as she finished. "I hate ketchup," she muttered, setting the bottle to the side.

Juniper was shocked when Amos picked dare, and she gave him a wide-eyed look. What are you doing? she mouthed. She looked over at Lei, and her entire face went slack at the dare. "Noooooo," she moaned, hiding her face in her hands. "I can't watch! Lei, he has a boyfriend! A boyfriend with terrakinesis! He's going to hate you and you're going to die!" Her hands hit the floor and she gave him a sad look. Why couldn't he have, oh, made Amos watch them French kiss or something? This was going to cause all sorts of problems.

She had to look away as it happened. She just couldn't watch it. Juniper quickly spun the bottle after it was over, and it landed on Lei once more. He chose dare, again. "Okay, you know what, I dare you to French kiss me," she told him, her brow furrowed in... Something. She wasn't quite sure what. Maybe it wasn't much of a dare, but she felt the need to close this kissing circle.

[Amos Freeman]

Amos knew she hated ketchup, of course.

"See, it wasn't lame to her," he pointed out, motioning to Juney, who was making an adorably disgusted face.

The neck of the bottle stopped in front of him again.

He didn't know why he picked dare. It was probably some sort of subconscious male dominance thing, and he was trying to assert his strength. Maybe the tea had been full of psychoactives.

Either way, he wasn't looking forward to going home that weekend and telling his mother that she had raised a damn fool.

"You're a f-fucking pervert," he said dryly. "You know that, right?"

He turned to Juniper with a serious look on his face.

"No longer than t-ten seconds. Time it with your ph-phone."

Amos scooted over to the other boy, glowering all the while. He plopped down onto his lap lazily and pursed his lips. He hoped he'd hit a bruise somewhere.

Alto really was going to kill somebody.

Without warning, Amos pressed his lips to the other boy's, inserted his tongue rather forcefully, and then pushed him away.

He rolled out of his lap and stared at the ceiling for a few moments.

"Juney's a better k-kisser," he said matter-of-factly with a smirk.

He wasn't sure how to feel. Unlike sex, he did kind of like kissing. He liked cuddling, too, and holding hands. These had all been things that he had only shared with one person until now, and having that taken away left him feeling kind of....

Well, suffice to say this hadn't been one of his better ideas.

"I am so done with kissing," he mumbled, rubbing his eyes at Juniper's dare to Lei. "Seriously, you g-guys, th-that's enough kissing. We should have just played Spin the Bottle if it was going to end up like th-this."

He chuckled dryly. He picked up his mug of tea, which was now only lukewarm, and sipped it.

[Leiken Chu]

A laugh escaped his lips, "I know right?" he joked with a smile on his face.

Though he grinned a little to her, "Ew? you don't like ketchup? Awh, but it's good! " he added. Though he tilted his head a bit, watching her as she downed the ketchup. He grinned slightly, "that's alright, I'll just have to kiss the flavor away, i won't mind." he assured her.

Leiken laughed as he was called a pervert, "I am aware. You say it as if it is something that is unknown." he teased the other man. Lei winced slightly, as he did hit a bruise, causing him to take in a breath. However, he was far to pleased with the other man on his lap as his fingers raised, sliding over the other male's shoulder, against his neck. He hooked those fingers behind Amos' neck as he spoke softly to him. "Don't worry, It'll be over before you know it, right?" he teased.

"Don't worry Princess, it's only a dare, right?" he told her with a smile. "It's not like it means anything. Right Amos?" he teased the other male.

Though Lei was taken by surprise as the other male pressed those lips to his so suddenly, that tongue forcing into his mouth made a surprised moan pass his lips, drawing his fingers to curl against the back of the other male's neck. His hips raising to press to Amos' rump while his other hand slid up the other man's inner thigh. His tongue met with Amos' in a rather violent respose as he pressed his lips hard to the other man's own. SLiding his tongue over Amos' rather hotly. His body had reacted to that forceful demeanour that had taken him by surprise.

However, as the time was up lei's tongue half rested to his own lower lip, trailing the surfaces as he savoured the sensation of the other male's lips on his own. He smirked sheepishly. "You're right. She is a better kisser than you." he taunted the other man. Though his own body gave no denial that he'd enjoyed it.

The moment had passed and he was satisfied he'd taunted the other man to the point that would be far to far. Though he was sure the other male would remember that kiss later when he opened that present.

"Dare~" he would respond. Though her dare surprised him a little to say the least. Had she enjoyed watching him and Amos kiss? Either way it didn't matter to him. He drew a fingertip beneath her chin, lifting her head slightly as he leaned into Jun, bringing his lips to slide ovver hers. his eyes half lidding as his his tongue would flick across her lips. lightly teasing the surfaces before the sight of them was lost, pressed between his own, invaded by his tongue as it slowly eased past her lips and into her mouth. Taking capture of her tongue.

The flavor of ketchup was strong, but he did not mind it. Instead he slid his tongue over hers, captured in a passionate, but gentle embrace. He savoured the taste of her. Drawing lost within that kiss for a few minutes before he would just as gently draw back, leaving a few lingering kisses, then smiling. "I don't know. I rather enjoy kissing." he stated toward Amos' remark.

"There's still time to play that~" He suggested in response to Amos' remark.

[Juniper Birdsong]

Juniper groaned and covered her eyes, although she did sneak a small peak at one point and immediately regretted it. Not only was it wrong, wrong, all wrong, but she felt a spark of jealousy and unfairness. She knew it wasn't right, because it was just a dare, after all, but Lei seemed to be enjoying himself far too much. She hid her face in her knees again.

"Is it over?" she whimpered as the broke apart, peeking up at both of them. Seeing it was, she crossed her arms on her knees and rested her head on them, giving them both a very sad look. "Amos, if Alto finds out..." she trailed off, giving Lei a worried look.

The fact that they both said she was a better kisser did little to alleviate her worries.

"Just once more," she mumbled to Amos, shooting him an apologetic glance as she scooted closer to Lei. It wasn't right that the two people actually mutually interested in this room would be the only ones that hadn't done this, right?

She tilted her head up as he placed his finger underneath, meeting his lips gently with her own. Her eyes closed as she felt his tongue slip into her mouth, and she couldn't help but think it felt a little weird. Nevertheless, she returned to kiss, doing the best she could to keep up with something she had previously never done (Amos's didn't count). She did feel like there was some sort of care behind the kiss, unlike what she had seen with Amos and Leiken, and found herself getting lost in the sensation for what felt like quite some time. Eventually, they pulled apart, though the lingering kisses he gave her made her stomach flutter until they finally broke apart completely.

Juniper was a little out of breath, and gazed at Lei with wide, bright eyes for a few moments before looking away and leaning against his shoulder. "It's... it's pretty fun," she agreed breathlessly.

As Lei suggested that there was still time to play the other game, she decided to draw the line. "I think that was a good way to end it," she said a little sheepishly. "Now that we're, uh, all much closer to each other than I had really planned." She reached up to grab her own mug of tea, taking a long sip as she watched them both. "Uh, what do you think?" Her head was still spinning slightly, and she flopped down lightly on her back, letting out a long sigh.

[Amos Freeman]

Amos closed his eyes against the teasing. He knew he'd promised to behave as long as Leiken treated Juniper right, but he doubted that she had figured in sexual assault.

Man, he was so done.

He was trying to forget the feeling of the other boy's hips against him. That hand on his thigh.

He hadn't felt anything. He never felt anything, of course; that particular arousal that other people claimed to have when they kissed people they liked was lost on him. His lips were just lips, and his thigh was just a thigh.

It did, however, make him want to wretch.

"Good, kiss her, th-then," he mumbled.

He opened one eye to study Juniper.

He wondered what she was feeling.

"I th-think I need to go wrap my presents and do my holiday homework," he said with a small smile. He sipped the last of his tea and placed the mug on the desk after sitting up.

"Thank you for the tea," he said. "And the slippers."

He leaned over and gave her a big hug.

"I'm gonna wear them back to my, um, dorm, actually," he decided. He slid his socked feet into the slippers and grabbed the rest of his things.

"Later," he said with a wave, closing the door behind him.

[Leiken Chu]

Lei watched the other man leave, smirking slightly to him, knowing very well how uncomfortable the kid was. However, when he left, so did those thoughts and all his world focused on Juniper. Though he exhaled a soft sight, bringing his fingertips to her cheek, giving her a soft kiss upon the opposing. "i'd better get back to my room as well. I have an appointment later and i'm afraid to miss anymore." he noted to her with a laugh.

"I think miss Ken would kill me if i did again." he stated shivering a bit at the thought. Though he mostly wanted to flee simply for the fact that the situation had gotten awkward and he was still excited by it.

"Thank you so much for the present. I look forward to spending time with you soon princess " he stated with an affectionate smile. Kissing her forehead softly, "I'm sorry I can't stay longer."
