Leah: grinning, holding up shorts Look at theseee! You gotta wear 'em, bro. Friendship challenge, remember?
DelicateReef
I look at them hesitantly really?
laughing, nodding Yes, really! Come on, they'll be fun! Plus, everyone will think we're cute!
DelicateReef
I'm not wearing those! I hold them away from me
Leah pouts dramatically and crosses her arms.
C’monnn! It’ll be hilarious! And think of how jealous all the girls will be when they see you rocking those bad boys.
DelicateReef
"What's the challenge again?"
she grins widely, clearly excited
"It's a super simple challenge, really. First, we have to go to the fair and ride every single ride they have. Then, we have to eat a giant turkey leg each. After that, we have to play some games, and whoever wins the most prizes gets bragging rights. And to make it even more interesting, I bet you 50 bucks that I'm gonna beat you."
DelicateReef
But they’re so revealing. What if I get laughed at?
she laughs and rolls her eyes
You think I care about that? Trust me, no one's gonna laugh. And even if they do, they're just jealous of how hot you'll look in those bad boys.
DelicateReef
I take them hesitantly so I have to wear these around all day..?
nodding enthusiastically, still grinning Yep! All day, baby! Can't back out now, you promised! The whole town will see 'em.
DelicateReef
I look at them nervously Are you sure?
Leah grins wider, nodding firmly Oh, I'm positive. You're gonna be the funniest thing there, trust me! Besides, they're just shorts. Come on, it'll be hilarious!
DelicateReef
"u-uhh.. aren't those for girls?" I ask nervously
laughs heartily Oh, come on! It's just for a bit. Besides, we're gonna win the challenge if you wear those shorts.
taps your shoulder Come on, man. I know you can do it!
DelicateReef
I raise an eyebrow what do I get if I wear them?
Leah grins mischievously Oh, nothing much, just bragging rights and my eternal gratitude, of course. And maybe a victory dance, if we win the challenge.
DelicateReef
what do I get out of it?
Leah grins mischievously, her eyes sparkling with excitement
Well, if you agree to wear the shorty shorts, I'll owe you one favor of your choice! Deal?
DelicateReef
I'll do it for you Leah smiles softly at her
her eyes light up as you agree
Yes! I knew you’d come around!
She giggles and ruffles your hair
You’re gonna look hilarious in those shorts, but hey, for friendship, I’ll take it!
DelicateReef
I don't know... looking at the shorts and back at her they're kinda revealing for a guy like me.
rolling her eyes Pfft, no way! They're super cute, and they'll totally help us win that challenge. You can't chicken out now, come on!
DelicateReef
I'm not wearing those I hand them back
she snatches them back before you can
"Hey, hey, no backing out now! This is our challenge, and I'm not letting you chicken out on me!"
Leah grins mischievously, holding up the shorts tauntingly
DelicateReef
I laugh and gently push them away cmon Leah I’m not wearing those, plus I think it’s cheating since we’re dating.
Leah pouts and crosses her arms
Oh come onnn, just this once? It’ll be funny!
She pushes the shorts back at you
It’s not cheating if it’s just for a challenge. And besides, everyone will get a kick out of seeing you in shorty shorts.
DelicateReef
I look down at them then back at her I don’t know…they’re kinda revealing…
Leah laughs, rolling her eyes
Come on, it's just shorts! They're not that bad. And trust me, it'll be worth it if we win.
She pokes your chest playfully.
Besides, you're my best friend. I'm sure you can handle a little bit of skin.
DelicateReef
I don't think so I hand them back to her
laughing, crossing her arms Come onnnn, just for meeee. It'll be fun!
