"Did you mess with the pieces?"
Will looked up at Kevin. "Sorry?"
Kevin took his seat across the table from Will, and frowned at the checkerboard. "I swear I had four pieces in this row."
"Huh. That's weird."
"And three in this one." Kevin chewed on his bottom lip for a moment, then raised his eyes to Will. "What did you do?"
Will's mouth opened in a poor attempt at looking shocked by the question. "What are you implying?"
"I'm implying you switched the pieces around."
"Why would I do that?"
Kevin scratched his forehead and bit back a smile. "Well, we're playing strip checkers, right?"
"Right."
"I'm fully clothed."
"You are."
"You're one item away from being completely naked."
"And?"
"I think you're tired of losing."
"Or, I want to see a little skin," Will said.
"You just gave motive."
"For what?"
"Cheating."
"What makes you think I'm cheating?"
"When I got up to go to the bathroom, you were losing pretty badly. Now, I sit down to resume playing and suddenly you'll be able to clear the board in your next move."
His lips pressed together to stifle a laugh, Will shrugged.
"Call it my keen investigative mind, but I think you had something to do with this, Porter."
Will blew a quick breath through his lips, making them buzz, then hung his head. "You caught me."
"You realize that you've defaulted, right? That means I win."
Sighing dramatically, Will stood up and pushed down his boxer briefs. "All I wanted was to try and get you naked, too."
"Guess that didn't work out for you. Cheaters never win, you know."
Will finally had to laugh as he took a seat on Kevin's lap. "That's a lesson I'll take to the grave," he said, putting his arms around Kevin's neck and giving him a kiss. "Though, to be honest, I really don't mind losing."
