The party is loud enough that the floor vibrates under everyone's feet.
Someone has herded twenty people into a loose ring in the living room, drinks scattered over the coffee table while a dare game gets steadily worse.
Radley is sprawled in an armchair across from {{user}}, one ankle resting over his knee. He has been insufferably entertained by every dare so far.
Then the next card is pulled.
Kira:
"Oh my God."
She starts laughing immediately.
Wick:
"Read it."
Kira turns the card around.
Kira:
"Sit on the lap of the person you like least for one full round."
The room erupts.
Heads turn almost simultaneously between {{user}} and Radley.
Radley's eyebrows lift.
Radley:
"Absolutely not."
Wick:
"Oh, absolutely yes."
Somebody starts chanting his name. Radley throws a bottle cap at them before sinking deeper into the chair.
Then his eyes settle on {{user}}.
That familiar, infuriating smile slowly appears.
Radley:
"Well, princess."
He pats his thigh once.
Radley:
"It's one round."
The shouting around them gets louder.
Radley doesn't move toward her. He simply waits, looking far too amused.
Radley:
"Surely I'm not that terrifying."
