A/N: I fuckin' love this game oh yeah. Набито в 7 утра на сотик.

It all starts with a game...It all starts with a game, a seemingly innocent one that probably everyone has tried playing in their college days.

Well, actually it starts when Katie, Angel, Bradley and Colin get an evening off set. After a week’s hard work on one of the Merlin episodes and so little sleep, what should four young people do on their free evening? Right, get as much beer as they can carry from the local supermarket without breaking their spines, and organize a little private party in Katie’s hotel room.

Unsurprisingly, it takes much less effort to consume the beer than to carry it. By the time they are (un)kindly asked by the hotel administration to turn down the music volume, they are all drunk as hell. Even Katie, who’d usually be the most sober, is lying on the floor, giggling sheepishly at Colin who has his hand buried in someone’s hat, claiming he “sure as hell will get that goddamn rabbit outa there” cuz he is “fucking Merlin the fucking warlock”.

In the end, somebody offers to play Truth or Dare, and since there is nothing else left to do, the four of them gather around an empty bottle (which isn’t difficult to find, since the room is practically covered by a carpet of empty bottles scattered all around).

First come innocent questions, like the first time either of them kissed, and innocent dares, like stick a “King having sex, DND” sign to Anthony’s door. They have to bury their faces in pillows most of the time to keep themselves from laughing out loud and getting another angry notice from the administration. All is well and funny till Angel gets that damn spin on Colin.

- So, Colin. – She smiles. - Truth or dare?

- Truth, - he answers certainly. It’s always best to get over it with a truth than do something that’ll come up to the spinner’s drunken head.

Angel bites on her lip, clearly trying to find the craziest question to ask. She smiles again, somehow wildly this time, as she looks up to him:

- If you were to kiss one person in this room, who’d that be?

Colin chokes on his beer and stares at Angel, desperately fighting the alcohol taking control of his brain, because he is really not sure whether he wants anyone to hear the immediate answer from the tip of his tongue. He doesn’t feel like lying, either – despite being an actor, he is a horrible liar and he knows that. Therefore…

- Dare.

- Oh come on! – Bradley smirks. – Just spit it out, Angel or Katie?

- Yeh, noone will be offended, promise! – exclaims Angel, looking at him with extreme enthusiasm and curiosity in her eyes.

- Angie, rules are rules! – Katie laughs, giving her a light slap on the knee. – He chose dare, so think of one.

Angel shrugs her shoulders and pauses to think, short before another dangerous smile comes to her lips, causing an uneasy feeling inside Colin’s chest.

- Well, if you don’t wanna say it, dare to do it.

- Do what? – Colin blinks, confused. Angel giggles, rolling her eyes - although without annoyance:

- Colin Morgan, do you dare to kiss one person of your choice in this room?

Colin freezes as he feels a cold shiver run down his spine, a sharp contrast with his body warmed up and relaxed by alcohol. He shifts gaze from Angel to Katie and finally fixing it at Bradley, who looks absolutely amused by the situation his co-star has been put into. Colin closes his eyes for just a second, taking a gulp from the bottle, and then gets up uneasily:

- Sorry. Need to... bathroom...

He slams the door behind himself and leans against the wall, letting out a deep sigh of relief. But he knows he cannot stay in the bathroom forever. Eventually he needs to get out and do that dare.

Maybe just get over it and give Angel a friendly kiss? But then again... He knows it would be wrong. And it would further complicate his attempts to do something about that stupid crush on Bradley.

A loud knock on the door nearly makes him jump, returning from his thoughts to reality. Bradley’s head appears in the doorway opening, and, having made sure he is not interrupting anything, the guy enters, closing the door behind him and facing Colin, who is struggling to fix his blurred eyesight at him. James comes so close he can speak quietly without anyone outside being able to overhear, and leans to Colin, placing one hand on the wall behind his co-star:

- Well, come on now, between us, Morgan. What’s going on? Why can’t you just go out there and kiss someone?

Colin doesn’t respond. He is too busy calming himself down as he drowns in those blue eyes just a few inches away from his, and as his head spins around from the smell of Bradley’s cologne. James sighs.

- Come on, it’s not that difficult. Stop being a coward and go kiss Angel, or Katie, whoever of them you like, you are a man, after all!

It’s pure frustration that forces Colin to answer this time:

- Who the hell told you it’s about Angel or Katie?!

Colin notices a puzzled look on Bradley’s face before leaning closer – without another thought – and lightly pressing his lips to the other guy’s. Simply touching at first, he waits for mere seconds to be pushed away – and is not, so he starts gently kissing the blonde’s lips, tasting them, feeling his pulse speed up, his heart beating like crazy, probably trying to pump some fresh non-alcoholic blood to his head to stop this madness.

Of course, Colin does not hear a pair of quite gasps coming from the now open bathroom door, because the moment his brain is about to order him to pull back he feels a slight – could’ve been called shy if coming from someone else – flip of the other guy’s tongue on his lower lip. Next thing he knows is Bradley returning the kiss, gently, licking Colin’s lips with his tongue, his fingers suddenly buried in the dark locks at the back of Morgan’s head – pulling closer, deepening the kiss which grows more and more passionate.

Of course, both of them also fail to notice how Katie, having overcome the initial shock, pokes Angel lightly with her elbow, and the girls nod at each other – and get out, quietly closing the bathroom door behind them.

Colin’s head is spinning wildly to the rhythm of the hot and sweet tongue tasting his mouth, circling around his own in a breathtaking dance. Eventually, the lack of air in the burning lungs forces them both to pull back – and, trying to catch some fresh air, Colin stares at the floor. He so did not want this awkward moment to come. He cannot make himself look up – until a strong hand taking hold of his chin forces him to.

And Morgan does not regret. Because he doubts if he ever caught sight of anything more beautiful and hot than Bradley, with cheeks flushed, slowly licking his lips that are red from his, Colin’s, kiss... And his eyes; if deep blue water could burn up and become fire - that would be similar to how Bradley’s eyes look this moment. He pants as loud as Colin, looking into his eyes with both lust and confusion – and for the first time since Morgan met him, speechless.

Speechless Bradley James. Such a paradox could make Colin laugh his ears off if he weren’t its very cause; still, he can’t help smiling. And this helps better than any words – because James lets out a relaxed laugh, breaking the uncomfortable silence:

- So, what was wrong with doing that in the room? Now we have to repeat it, for Angel to perform her dare.

- Would it be that horrible? – still smiling, Colin tilts his head to the side, a gesture which always makes him look beyond adorable without even recognizing that.

- Considering I was not lying to Katie’s question about fancying anyone from the cast, no, I don’t suppose it would.

- I though you meant... – Colin’s eyes widened.

- Katie? Oh come on Colin, not that I don’t like her, as a person, but she can get even the most peaceful creature annoyed within seconds if she wants to.

Colin can’t help laughing:

- Look who’s talking, Bradley James.

- What, so I am annoying now? – The blonde raises his eyebrows, putting on a ridiculously innocent face.

- Not to an extent I cannot stand, - Colin laughs again as he pulls Bradley into another kiss.
