John couldn't believe it, but his first month at Camp Revolutionary was slowly drawing to a close. Soon, the 4th of July celebration would be coming up! Alex informed him that it was DEFINITELY something to look forward to.

"It's great!" Alex told John. "There's a barbecue, and a football game some of the students participate in, and a huge game of "Never Have I Ever" between all the students, AND THEN the fireworks! It's a night to remember, trust me."

John, Alex, Herc, and Laf were excited for the celebration, but there was still a week left in June. One night, the four boys decided to play Truth or Dare again. Laf reminded John about something.

"Don't forget, you HAVE to have a boyfriend by the end of the summer!" he said. "It's an official dare!"

John rolled his eyes.

"No one at this camp is going to want to be my boyfriend," he said.

"I would be so sure about that," winked Herc.

What the heck? thought John. What's that supposed to mean?

As they were getting changed into their bed clothes, Herc blurted something out.

"Alex thinks you're cute!"

John froze as he was pulling on his bed shirt.

"What?" said Alex angrily. "I did NOT say that!" Then he turned to John, thinking he may have offended him. "It's not that you're NOT cute or anything, it's just...I...um...."

John chuckled and pulled on the rest of his shirt.

"Thanks, Alex."

Alex blushed and turned on his phone flashlight.

Once all the lights were in order, the boys got into their places on the floor-Herc and Laf across from Alex and John.

"Herc, you first. Truth or dare?" John asked him.

"Truth."

"How old were you when you and Laf started dating?"

"Let's see...I was...15 years old," Herc answered.

"Nice! Two years!" John commented.

"Yeah," blushed Herc. "John, truth or dare?"

"Um...dare!"

The others stared at him.

"WHAT?" They all burst into chaos at once. Shouting, shock, excitement. John sat through it all, smiling and laughing to himself.

"First time picking dare EVER!" Laf yelled.

"Make it a good one!" Alex encouraged.

"Oh, I will!" Herc ensured.

John braced himself. Herc's dared could be pretty intense, and, judging by the grin on his face, this was no exception.

"I dare you to sit on Alex's lap for the rest of the game!"

John sighed. "Not as bad as I thought, at least."

But Herc wasn't done. "...in nothing but your boxers!"

John turned bright red as Alex, Herc, and Laf started cracking up.

"Do I have to?" he asked quietly.

"Aw, come on, John! I'm not poisonous!" Alex said, still laughing.

Well, though John, he IS cute. No, stop thinking that stuff! He's probably straight anyway.

"Fiinneee," John agreed unwillingly.

The boys cheered as John stripped down to his socks. Well, technically his boxers.

Cringing, John walked over and seated himself on Alex.

"John, so FORWARD!" Alex said, grinning. John blushed furiously.

"Oh, there's more where THAT came from," said Laf. "Alex, your turn. Truth or dare?"

"Just because you'll probably torture me, TRUTH!" said Alex, laughing.

Laf smiled wickedly. "Oh, I've got a GREAT truth...."

"Oh no. What?"

"Did you say that John is cute?"

AN: Sorry, kind of a short one! More coming later tonight!
