FILL - Marco POV

[natural_blue_26]

There was no playing 'Truth or Dare' with Rachel; as far as she was concerned the game should just be renamed 'Dare or Dare' and then throw in the towel and call it a day, but even knowing this relatively simple fact of life as he knew it he had pushed his lips shut practically literally bitten his own tongue to stop himself from preventing - well, he wasn't sure what yet but his spider senses screamed that it would be bad - things from continuing when David had, in an arrogantly confident manner Marco had heard the tone of before too often in Rachel's and his own voices (and he would secretly love to coolly master the smoothness of himself), loftily imply that Rachel didn't have the guts to accept any dare David might choose to assign her.

She'd scornfully derided David's implications - interested, but managing to still act like David's opinions were of no more importance to her than the dirt she'd trodden under perfectly sculpted feet on her way in the barn - and with her certain predictable, wicked amount of glee told David to hit her with his best shot; in the face of Rachel's pigheaded excuse for bravery and David's slimy, sure-footed request, how could he be the only one of the three of them not to not step up to the plate and seal the deal?

He may have been ten paces more cautious than her and two strides less publicly selfish than David, but he was no yellow-blooded, lily-liveried coward, either.

Bwahaha, that's so Rachel.

In this context, I'm pretty sure those two mean the same thing.

I adore this explanation of how Marco came to be involved!

:DDD

Huh. Again possibly a regional thing, but I've always heard both listed together as a Step 1 then Step 2 thing? Hmmm... *ponders how silly a language English can be*

Thanks! Marco's a smart cookie, but I can't see him wanting to be implied to be 'chicken' sexually in the room, either.
