The Dare

Al looked at his brother with bleary eyes. “You what?”

“I dare you. You keep talking about ...kissing. Keep bugging me, what’s it like, what’s it like. You have lips now, try it,” Ed said, too drunk to realize what was coming out of his mouth.

“Who?” Al didn’t notice his pony tail was dragging in his whiskey glass.

“The first person through that door. Dare you,” Ed said pointing at the door...well mostly the ceiling but he was trying.

“S’okay,” Al replied, only now learning that alcohol and brains didn’t mix well. “Winry! Paninya!” He called loudly to the girls they were sharing a house with.

Ed took up the call. The brother’s caterwauled until the door opened.

“What is it with all this noise?” Roy snarled. “I’m trying to...talk to Riza.”

“Yeah talk.” Ed snorted.

Al got up and crossed over to Roy.

“Whatcha doing, brother?” Ed asked.
