[ It's an embarrassing question, sure. But as he thinks about it, he can't really remember the last instance of when he had one. All he can think about was the stress he endured when moving to Recolle for the first time, stressing about living situation, stressing about money, stressing about new environment, etc... All of those pop up in his own thought bubble like a fast slideshow and pops out without Daisuke's notice.
[ He'll think back even further just for Naegi, because Naegi looks so disappointed to Daisuke right now. It's kind of crushing after what happened earlier.
Ah, maybe this will work. ]
When I was little, there was a bully hunting girl I met when I was in elementary school. She was nice to me and always challenged me to a swing race...
[ ...
Yeah, that's all he remembers, but Naegi is free to take it and run with it. ]
[ He was afraid that the thing earlier might have tipped Naegi over the edge. You never know!! Except, thinking back on it, that was dumb. Naegi's not that sort of person at all.
He kinda feels bad at having the upper hand here. ]
[ A dare... Dares are equally risky, Naegi! Or at least, they would be, if the other person wasn't Daisuke. He still feels bad, man. Gotta let him off easy this time... ]
I dare you to... pet the head of the next person you see. Except me.
[ This is fair, Daisuke thinks to himself. They're even now! It's what he gets!! He still loathes the idea of having to grace someone's ears with his horrible singing since it's such a disservice on both sides...
[ hmmmm, now naegi has to be really careful here... he just dared daisuke to do something embarrassing so if he gets dare, maybe daisuke will tell him to do something as bad? but if it's truth, he could get some really embarrassing info. this is hard... ]
[ See, the thing about the truth or dare game is that it's mostly an excuse to wrangle the truth out of someone you normally wouldn't get outside of it. There's a certain obligation--a pressure to tell the truth. Well, at least it probably is for people like Naegi and Daisuke. The latter definitely does. ]
Who was your first real kiss?
[ Not even a "did you ever kiss anyone", just. Straight into the assumption that Naegi had done anything like that before. ]
[ why is daisuke going for all these gossipy questions like why is he like this but sorry, if you wanted a disappointing answer, naegi has one for you ]
[ It's not particularly disappointing and he almost feels satisfied except Daisuke's staring at Naegi, looking like he's expecting a more concrete answer (but he isn't).
He's actually hoping that a thought bubble would pop up other than him and Kyouko holding hands.
[ the staring does not help because naegi just nervously leans back, as if that'd stop daisuke from staring or get him away. also, the thought bubble goes from holding hands with kyouko to... what, his sketchbook? ]
... if it makes you feel any better, my last kiss was kissing my sketchbook?
[ It would seem worse, except Daisuke is just getting the feeling that Naegi kissed his sketchbook because he was finally done drawing something for his projects and being relieved that he's finally done and satisfied with his art. That's normal and okay to him.
It gets him to laugh a little. At least he broke away from the staring now. ]
[ close! naegi thought he lost his sketchbook and when he found it, he kissed it because it's his one true love and he would die if he lost all of his work. but he also does kiss his sketchbook after finishing a really hard piece. ]
