Had the epiphany to return to "I Don't Dance" in High School Musical 2 and good grief. Flirting on the baseball diamond. The fanfic writes itself.

Hello! Could I request a Jacob from the quarry x male reader ? An idea is maybe they get dared to kiss during the truth or dare and decide to go all out to make Emma jealous?? Or anything is good too !! Thank you!!

Of course, though I apologize in advance, I don't have an editor or a beta reader so there may be mistakes. Otherwise, I hope you enjoy!

You could feel the heat of the fire on your face and the crackling of it underneath the laughter of the friends around you. Two months; only two months you had known these dorks, but after tonight you'd have to leave them. It was bittersweet really, especially after growing so attached to one in particular.

When you first met Jacob, you thought he'd be like every other buff, jock Chad you'd encountered, but he was really just a huge dork. It was endearing and you felt for Jacob when Emma stomped all over him. You respected that they were seeing each other all summer and backed off, but it pissed you off that all that time you could've gotten a chance with Jacob was wasted on her when she wasn't even looking for commitment.

You snapped your attention back when you heard your name called quietly. You look to your right to see Ryan looking at you with concern.

"You doing alright? You were spacing out for a sec there," He asked in a whisper. You just nod and flash a quick smile.

"Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine, sorry. Got lost in thought." At this, he gave a look of understanding and turned back to the others. You don't know how long you had zoned out for but from the looks of it, they started to play truth or dare somewhere along the line. It looked like Abi was stumbling over who to pick when Emma decided to chime in.

"Ding, ding, ding. Too late, my turn," She pauses for dramatic effect before her eyes graze over to Ryan. She then sits back with a smirk. "Ryan, truth or dare?" Ryan looks over at you, but you just shrug your shoulders a little.

"Uh, fuck it, dare." Emma's smirk only grows at this.

"Well, well. My dare comes with a choice."

"Can she do that?"

"I can do whatever I want, and I dare you... to kiss... either Kaitlyn," She takes a short pause. "Or Dylan." All you can think is thank God that someone's finally gonna make the first move.

"Wow, I mean, I guess 'both' is off the table?" This makes you snort a laugh out a little, covering it behind your hand.

"Sorry, I don't make the rules," Emma says, putting her hands up in mock defeat.

"I mean you literally just did, but okay, let's do this." He takes a short moment to think before shifting in his seat a little. "Dylan, let's go." You physically watch Dylan brighten up, doing a little shimmy in his seat before getting up, being accompanied by whoops and hollers. Dylan finally makes his way to Ryan and leans down, sealing a sweet kiss. He then backs away to go back to his seat. You give Ryan a sly smirk and nudge him with your elbow a bit, which only makes him roll his eyes at you.

"Alright, Ryan, your turn to pick," Kaitlyn speaks up, looking a bit dishearted but otherwise unbothered. You see a mischievous glint in Ryan's eye as he turns to look at you and you immediately know you're in for it.

"Y/n... Truth or dare, buddy." You sit up a little straighter and give a challenging smirk.

"Dare, do your worst." You decided if you were already in for it, might as well go all in. Ryan's smirk only grows.

"I dare you, to kiss the person you find most attractive here." Several 'oooo's can be heard from around you and you can feel your heart beat a little faster, whether it was anxiety or nerves, it didn't matter. You stood up, brushed your thighs off, and waltz your way over, stopping in front of Jacob. Another round of whoops and hollers sounds as he watches you, almost dumbfounded with surprise. You lean down, placing a hand on the side of his neck, using your thumb to tilt his chin up towards you.

"May I?" You ask, in a low whisper, trying to ignore the loud pounding of blood in your ears. Jacob nods slightly and that's all you need to tilt your head and place your lips on his softly. You feel his lips tremble a bit so you move your hand from his neck to his cheek, rubbing it soothingly. You feel him relax at the touch and fight off the urge to smile into the kiss. You then pull away just enough to whisper-soft enough so that only he could hear.

"Are you alright? I can stop now if you're uncomfortable." He shakes his head ever so slightly at your words when you suddenly feel hands grip your hips, pulling you down to sit on his thighs. You let out a small noise of surprise before his lips are back on yours and his hand on the back of your head and one still resting on your waist. You relish in the feeling of his lips on yours before you suddenly become aware of the fact that you're in front of people and they're probably all waiting for you to finish so they can continue playing the game. You give two short taps to Jacob's bicep, in which he pulls away in response.

You stand back up and clear your throat, feeling your face burn in mild embarrassment. You make your way back to your seat, but not before stealing a quick glance at Emma, who's glaring severe daggers at you. You just pause your walking and flash a sly smirk and a quick wink before continuing.

Once you sit down, Ryan nudges you with his elbow, giving a shit-eating grin. You roll your eyes at him, but can't help but grin. You can't help yourself, stealing a quick glance towards Jacob, who was seeming to already have been looking at you. Your eyes soften and you just smile at him to which he smiles back, only more shaky. It may be the start of something. Maybe.

Hopefully.
