Disclaimer: This is a work of fiction; the recognizable people in the story belong to themselves and have never performed the actions portrayed here. I do not know the actors nor am I associated with them in any way. If you are underage, please do not read this story. I am not making any profit from these stories, nor do I mean any harm.

( Billy knows better than to have agreed to a dare—especially one that he seems doomed to lose, if Cate's enthusiasm is anything to go by—and he'd been surprised to feel himself nodding wordlessly, as if his silence would make up for this later, as if he could remind himself he never really wanted it in the first place. )
