[ 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. ]
[ Daisuke has that face of extreme pondering again. He hasn't exactly kept things a secret from Naegi, it's just that he hasn't told him yet. Or he thought that Naegi didn't need to know. Nothing secretive... It feels like a burden to do anyway. Feels nice, but he'd hate to be called an open book. ]
... Can you pick something else? I can't think of anything. It's so broad and I tell you stuff you need to know anyway.
[ Hm... He thinks long and hard again. Maybe all the stress he got from Recolle just shoved a lot of things out of his head. ]
There was this one time in middle school, school was over so I was getting into my parents' car. Except it wasn't my parents' car... so I opened a stranger's car door and they looked at me funny...
[ It's the only thing that's worthy of being talked about anyway... Most of his embarrassments seem to come from other people, not himself. Maybe that was a good thing. ]

[ Does this even work?? ]
no subject
Even if they're a stranger?
no subject
[ Even strangers.
Better hope neighbors suddenly don't pop out of the woodwork there. ]
I don't think it's that bad though...?
no subject
[ DO YOU HEAR HOW SALTY AND EMBARRASSED HE IS also that thought bubble is still there just because ]
But okay, your turn. Truth or dare?
no subject
It's time to step it up a bit?! Or maybe he's just getting too confident... ]
Dare!
no subject
... call someone and only sing at them.
[ that's kind of tame too, isn't it?? ]
You can do it after the game.
no subject
But I can't sing!
[ He's already embarrassed. rip ]
no subject
[ look at this smile. he knows he's possibly even with daisuke now ]
no subject
He pouts a little, but in full resignation. ]
Fine... I'll do it when we're back inside.
Truth or dare?
no subject
... truth.

no subject
There was this one time in middle school, school was over so I was getting into my parents' car. Except it wasn't my parents' car... so I opened a stranger's car door and they looked at me funny...
... The cars looked the same.
no subject
... at least you didn't get into the car before you realized your mistake, right?
no subject
... I almost did. That would have ended badly...
Truth or dare?
no subject
Dare.

I dare you to hug Kyouko and you can't let go until you say nice things to her while hugging her.
