Tam POV:

Sophie raised her hand, along with Maruca. There were also quite a few audible gasps, making both of them feel the need to explain. They looked between themselves, and Sophie went first.

"When I seven, and still living in with humans, I was playing with a stray dog near my house. I through a stick for it to fetch, which landed on the middle of the road. And just as the dog started crossing, a car came by. Really fast. A-a-and i-it ran over the d-dog." She started crying towards the end, rocking back and forth, and Keefe hugged her and whispered in her ear. A few minutes later, she stopped crying and Maruca explained.

"My mom was originally pregnant with twins, but she wasn't able to support both of us, so she ended up miscarrying my brother or sister." Maruca seemed a bit calm though. "I know that it wasn't anyone's fault, it's just nature. Look at what happened with Silveny. I know it's sad, but it's easier this way than if they were also born and then died."

And with that, it was time for dinner. Keefe took us to the mentor's secret cafe, and we promised to bring back a tray of butterblasts for Elwin. It was actually quite luxurious, and we all sat on the thrones we dragged into a circle. Biana and I exchanged a look and decided it was time to tell them.

Biana POV:

Everyone grabbed a bunch of food and we sat in a circle, in the same order as before. Tam and I shared a tray of lushberry candypuffs, and some cinnacreme. We were all talking, but as soon as I fed Tam the other half of my candypuff, they all fell silent. 

"What was that about?" Marella asked, as though I just punched Iggy. Tam and I leaned in, and we kissed, for like the fourth or fifth time that day. Marella, Stina, Maruca, and Dex all just sat there staring, jaws touching the floor, and the others looked extremely uncomfortable. Fitz even looked a bit angry.

Tam and I made eye contact, and then started laughing at their expressions. 

"You guys already knew. Why do you look so surprised?" I said pointing at Sophie, Keefe, Fitz, Linh and Wylie.

"I guess we didn't expect you guys to kiss yet" Linh said.

"But Keefe and Sophie have already seen us kiss twice, or thrice." Tam said. "Also I literally told you yesterday that we made out."

"And Fitz, you saw us making out" I added, blushing a little. I saw that Tam had a slight pink tinge to his cheeks. After a while, though, conversation started again, and we finished dinner soon. 

We headed back to the Healing Center, and Wylie gave Elwin his butterblasts. We resumed the circle, and this time Elwin was watching us.

"Let's play Truth or Dare" Sophie said. "You are allowed to ask anyone Truth or Dare, and then they answer or do the dare, and then they ask someone else. Also, if you don't want to answer a truth you have to remove one article of clothing, and for a dare, you have to remove two. Dex you start this time."

"Tam Truth or Dare?" he asked.

"Dare" Tam responded.

"I dare you and Biana to make out until Elwin finishes his food and goes back to his office."

That little kelpie. I turned to Tam and we locked lips, hugging each other as well. 

"Well, since Tam obviously can't ask someone, point at who you want Dex to ask" Sophie said. Tam pointed at Sophie, who let Dex go first. 

"Okay. Soph, Truth or Dare?" Dex asked.

"Dare." 

"I dare you to sit on Keefe's lap until Biana and Tam stop making out." Dex said. Sophie made a rude gesture in his direction, then sat on Keefe's lap. Keefe hugged her so she didn't fall. 

"Linh, Truth or Dare?" she asked.

"Truth. I don't trust you guys with dares" she replied.

"Who is your crush?" Sophie said. That made Marella laugh and applaud Sophie.

Linh sighed and said "Dex". Dex looked up in surprise, and blushed crimson.

"I like you too" he mumbled. Marella made kissing noises, so Linh said

"Well, Marella, since you find all this adorable, Truth or Dare?"

"Dare" she responded.

"I dare you to slap your crush as hard as possible, then kiss it better" Linh said snickering. Marella walked over to Fitz, and slapped him so hard, my hair flew up. I was trying my best not to laugh, but my lips still separated from Tam's. I quickly recovered, and we continued making out. 

Marella sat back down and said "Biana, Truth or Dare? If it's truth, then tap the floor once, and for dare vanish. I decided dare would be safer, since her options would be limited, so I vanished momentarily.

Warning- Smut. I'll demarcate it using the purple hearts again.

"I dare you and Tam to make out, but more spicy. And if it isn't, then you two both have to remove two articles of clothing." Marella said. I made several obscene gestures towards her, then Tam and I started continuing with the dare.

Tam POV:

I almost regret telling everyone that Biana and I are dating, since we both now have to make out, in a spicier way, with all of them and Elwin watching. Unfortunately, I only had three layers of clothing on, so I couldn't afford not to do the dare. 

💜We both lay down like yesterday,with Biana on top straddling me, but then Marella said "That's barely anything", so I started kissing a bit further down, around her collarbone and jawline, and Biana started rocking back and forth on my hips. And Biana quickly pointed at Keefe for Marella to ask him questions. They made a smaller circle, excluding me and Biana, and we tuned them all out. I put my hands inside Biana's tunic and traced circles around her waist and back, making her moan and shiver. She rocked harder on my special spot, and I moved my hands further up. 💜

Someone tapped us and said that Elwin had gone back to his office and Biana and I separated. I looked right next to me and saw Keefe and Sophie hugging with Sophie still on his lap, and when they saw that we had rejoined the circle,Sophie sat back down on the floor. 

We set up our sleeping mat in groups of 2. Me and Biana, Sophie and Stina, Linh and Dex, Fitz and Marella and that left Wylie and Maruca [not incest. i did this since they're cousins]. Biana and I were closest to the sectioned off area (for more private examinations), Linh and Dex where right next to us, then Fitz and Marella, Sophie and Stina, and Sophie was closest to Keefe's cot (Elwin made him sleep there).

We were all in our sleeping bags in ten minutes, and Elwin turned off the lights [let's assume they have lights, since it isn't specified in the books]. Biana and I were facing each other the whole time, and I saw her eyes before the lights went out.

The next chapter is gonna be a part of this one, but that one is only smut, so you can skip it and read the chapter after it ~ Nat
