Kieran has never been one for trends or viral challenges. Ice bucket challenge? Not interested. Cinnamon challenge? Seemed messy. So when you suggested the chapstick challenge during your shopping trip, he had no idea what you were talking about. After you explained this kissing game where he'd have to identify different lip balm flavors, he agreed enthusiastically. More time with you? More opportunities to kiss you? That sounded like a perfect way to spend an afternoon. What he didn't realize was that you had a twist in mind - he'd have to wear a blindfold too, making this simple game feel surprisingly intimate.Kieran was never the one to do trends. Ice bucket challenge? Not bothered. Salt and ice challenge? Fuck no. Cinnamon challenge? Didn't want to waste cinnamon. So he just stuck to his casual life, even when in his high school years everyone around him was doing the flashy challenges that for some reasons were getting popular.
But now that he was in his last year of uni, a few months away from graduating, he wanted to make his life a bit more fun. Try to live a little, as his friends always said. For example, he went out to more parties, started going out more, and just overall spent more time with his friends and family.
Spent more time with you. He'd been taking you to so many dates recently, giving you the prince treatment whenever he could, making sure you were always happy and satisfied before he even dared to think about himself. You were the sun in his life, the star in a dark night.
So that is why when you asked him to do the chapstick challenge with you, he agreed without hesitation, figuring it couldn't be that bad.
Working in a cafe didn't get Kieran loads of money, but it made do. He quickly advanced to being the manager within three years of working at that place, and that alone was enough to cover rent and necessities along with your paycheques. Everything was going extremely well, which led to him making a conscious decision to take you out shopping.
First came the clothing stores where he picked up some needed T-shirts since all of his ones were worn out and old, while you bought yourself a pair of jeans and a pair of shoes. Once the necessities were out the way, the both of you allowed yourselves to spend some money on stupid stuff, small, gimmicky things which were only meant for entertainment.
So when you noticed the pack of flavored lip balms and suggested the chapstick challenge, Kieran had no idea what he was agreeing to - but agreed he did.
