Chapter Text
"Truth or dare?" Nino asked him, waggling his eyebrows suggestively at his friend.
The question was a dangerous one, that was something he knew for sure, but he was the one who got himself in this mess in the first place. Adrien was the one who had chosen to come to Kim's party and have fun and... sit in this circle that he hadn't realized involved spilling your secrets or doing some crazy action that would surely embarrass you.
He mulled over his options. He didn't really have anything to hide, so he went with the safe choice.
"Truth," he replied with a smirk.
"If you had to sleep with one girl in this room, who would it be?"
Adrien's smirk vanished. He was not expecting that.
As a newly turned eighteen-year old it wasn't like he'd never been exposed to this concept, but that didn't mean it wasn't embarrassing. He'd never even given much thought to it before... unless he was thinking about his superhero partner. But, that was not the point.
"What kind of question is that?" Adrien blushed crimson, refusing to make eye contact with any of the females in the room.
"Just answer it, buddy," Nino said, while everyone in the room seemed to be laser focused on him and what he was going to say.
“And if I don’t?”
“You’ll hold the title of class coward!” Kim shouted from across the circle. Of course Kim would never fail to remind him of that.
Feeling spurred, Adrien glanced around the room looking at his options. He quickly skipped Alya, there was no way he’d ever do that to Nino. He also glazed over Rose and Juleka because they were involved with each other and he wasn’t gonna mess with that. Even if it was hypothetical.
He looked at Alix, who was currently glaring daggers at him, which seemed to be a clear sign that she was certainly not a choice. So, he ended up being left with Lila and Chloe. They seemed to be staring expectantly at him, like they both truly believed they were going to be picked. The thought of sleeping with either one of them made Adrien feel uneasy.
“Do they have to be in this room?” Adrien asked sheepishly.
“Pretty much everyone’s here,” Nino laughed.
Adrien thought about that, he was pretty sure someone was missing.
“Marinette actually happens to be away on vacation right now,” Alya piped in, much to Adrien’s relief.
It would be much easier to say he’d rather sleep with someone if they weren’t in the room currently.
“So you’d sleep with Marinette?” Nino asked, slowly and deliberately emphasizing her name.
“Yeah!” Adrien chirped back, not really thinking about the question, just glad to get out of an uncomfortable situation. As long as she wasn’t here, he wouldn’t have to say anything like this face to face.
Besides, it’s not like he really wanted to sleep with Marinette.
They were just friends.
