Adam is delighted as the full time whistle goes leaving the final score at Wales 1 Sweden 3. He has got his revenge over Josh for the last couple of defeats and has also won the first game of strip FIFA on a brand new FIFA game.

"Well that was a bust, I had two matches and lost both" A naked Josh says bluntly.

"Yeah not your best FIFA performance if I'm honest," Adam says smartly trying hard not to look and sound smug.

"I'm defo practicing before our next game," Josh replies looking down at his own shaved body upset at having once again lost a strip FIFA game so badly that he has been left fully naked.

"Also you will never say double or quits ever again," Adam grins as finally something has gone right for him after a long losing spell.

"Fuck yeah I won’t," Josh replies before looking up, "Please tell me that was all a bluff and you are not really gonna do it."

Adam almost enjoys shaking his head watching Josh's hopeful expression drop.

"Oh come on man you can't do that to me," Josh wails in protest.

"Yes I can cause you lost Josh, twice," Adam points out and Josh just sighs.

"Fine let’s do it then," Josh grunts trying not to show how scared he is.

Losing his clothes during the game was bad enough but now Josh is going to become a nude model. His whole body is covered in goosebumps just terrified at the thought of Emma finding out or his mum seeing them or the rest of the team mates plastering the pics up on the dressing room wall. Adam picks his camera up off the desk and first thing he does is go into the camera's memory. He is looking for his naked snaps but he cannot find them and that is starting to worry the blonde.

"Hey where are my pics dude?" Adam asks while tapping all the available buttons on the small digital camera.

Josh hangs his head and mumbles, "They are not there Adam."

"Did you copy them onto your computer? What did you do with my pictures Josh?" Adam asks his voice rising in anger

"I deleted them," Josh says softly.

"I don't believe you," The blonde barks angrily now feeling the same kind of helpless rage that Josh has been experiencing all day.

"Dude I deleted them right after I won the camera," Josh pleads, "I had a look to see if you really did it then I wiped them off the camera’s memory."

"Why would you do that?" Adam asks.

"Why would I keep pictures of you naked?" Josh counters, "Just think about it dude I would never be able to explain it if someone found a camera full of your naked pics in my bedroom."

"Well I thought you were," Adam says exasperated, "I've been worrying all week thinking someone like Emma would find the pics."

"I know and I'm sorry I didn't tell you," Josh says sadly.

Adam just lets out a long sigh wondering what to do, by accident Josh has guilt tripped him into thinking about picking a new dare. The blonde knows he needs Josh's naked pictures for Simon but taking the pictures almost feels cruel now knowing that Josh never deliberately kept his naked selfie's. Adam looks at Josh for a second as his completely naked best friend stares at the carpet.

"I should have said something to you I know," The skinny teen says, "It was cruel to tease you and make you sweat it out all week."

"You know I don't think I've ever had a naked man say sorry to me before," Adam teases trying to lighten the mood.

"Adam please this isn’t a joke," Josh whines but Adam just keeps grinning.

A thought has only just gone through the blonde's head, seeing as his mate never really endangered him with his naked pics Adam knows it isn't right to show Josh’s pics off to someone who will try to expose him. The pictures saved on the camera are still going to go to Simon as Adam wants to fulfil his dare to the big defender but he still wants Josh to see his naked pictures sent to someone and now he has the perfect person in mind.

"Come on then man, stand up and let’s get this over with," Adam says raising the camera.

Josh blushes hard again, every second he is sat naked in front of Adam feels like a lifetime. He felt confident the last time he sat nude in front of Adam but that dangerous camera is the thing making Josh feel so uncomfortable. The teen slowly stands up with his arms hanging limply by his side as he just doesn't know where to put them. Adam allows himself a small smirk before lifting the camera up getting ready to complete his best friend’s humiliation.

"Dude my face better not be in these," Josh warns.

Adam rolls his eyes, "Of course not Josh you know I wouldn't do that."

Josh's face momentarily betrays his inner worry for a second before he relaxes. He tries not to look directly at the camera as he hears the click of the shutter. Josh's whole body shivers as the fact he is actually having nude pictures taken starts to sink in. Adam doesn't lower the camera from his face snapping a dozen pics of Josh's naked body ignoring his friend’s obvious discomfort.

"Turn round man," Adam says wanting to make sure he has all of Josh's body on film.

"Oh come on what do you want a picture of my ass for?" Josh asks wondering why Adam has to keep making this more embarrassing for him.

"To remind you not to lose at strip FIFA," Adam says with a grin.

Josh groans but he lost the game in fact he lost both games so he doesn't have a choice. The tall winger slowly turns around facing away from Adam and his camera. The blush on Josh's face only darkens knowing that his best friend is taking pictures of his bare ass.

"Ok you can turn back round now man," Adam says having filled the camera's memory card up with pictures of Josh's naked ass.

"Is it over now?" Josh nervously asks.

Adam shakes his head and Josh lets out another whimper as he doesn't know how much longer Adam is going to torture him by keeping him naked. Adam takes a few more pictures of his naked best friend before finally lowering the camera.

"Well that's part one done with," Adam says happily as he sits back down.

"Oh God," Josh moans, "Why are you enjoying this so much?"

"Because it is fun embarrassing you," Adam replies honestly, "Anyway I know just who I am gonna send your pics too."

Josh's blush somehow grows even darker as he stands at the mercy of his best friend. The blonde swings his chair around and pulls out his laptop and for a few seconds Josh stays standing like a well-trained nude model before he notices that Adam is ignoring him. Josh quickly sits back down on Adam's bed pulling the covers over his exposed manhood.

Loading up his laptop Adam pulls open one of his desk drawers clearly looking for something. A few seconds later Adam pulls out a short black USB connecting wire and attaches one end to his laptop and the other to his camera.

"Please Adam promise me this won't be super embarrassing," Josh pleads.

"Of course not," Adam replies nonchalantly still with his eyes locked on his computer screen.

Josh doesn't like the reply but he can't think of any other way to convince Adam to go easy on him. He knows not doing this task means Adam will show his naked pictures to Karen and that thought scares Josh even more than the thought of Emma or his Mum seeing his naked snaps. He sits still on Adam's bed waiting as the blonde continues to work away on his laptop.

Josh sits for what feels like hours on Adam's bed waiting for the next part of his forfeit. Even though Josh is naked he is not getting the same enjoyable buzz he got last time he was nude in front of someone. Those naked pictures have taken all the fun out of being nude and Josh is now deeply regretting how harsh his last two forfeits were for Adam. Finally Adam spins round on his chair to look directly at his blushing and embarrassed best friend.

"Right I need your contact list," Adam says not bothering to hide his grin.

"Please," Josh whispers softly, "This is too much."

"Contact list or I email all these pics off to that little perv Jason," Adam threatens.

"Ok, Ok, Ok," Josh stammers reaching down towards his discarded jeans.

He pulls out his phone and hands it to Adam who is grin is wide and menacing.

"Don't worry," The blonde says, "I'm only looking for one email address.

Josh nervously starts to think about his contact list wondering who Adam will pick. The skinny teen must have over 30 contacts on his phone and Adam could easily send his pics to anyone. Scrolling through Josh's phone Adam hopes the name he was thinking of is on Josh's contact list. Adam almost punches the air with delight when he not only finds the name but finds an email address attached. Moving back to his computer Adam quickly sets up a disposable email account and starts to type up the contacts email.

"Who are you sending them too?" Josh asks with a lump in his throat.

Every tap of the keyboard makes Josh nervous as his paranoid mind plays tricks on him. Part of him wants to know and yet another part of him never wants to find out who is gonna see his naked pictures. Adam stops typing and attaches half a dozen of Josh's naked snaps to the email. He turns around and looks at Josh who is shaking with nerves and Adam finally decides to stop teasing Josh and tell all.

"Come and look man," The blonde offers sliding away from his laptop.

Josh slowly gets up and moves towards the laptop looking for the name on the email. Adam is smiling as in his opinion this is a stroke of pure genius from him. Josh reads the email address and instantly all the air seems to expel out of his lungs. He gasps for air and looks over at his best friend who is wearing the widest and smuggest grin imaginable.

"No," Josh gasps looking back at the screen just to double check.

"Yes," Adam replies still grinning with delight at his own brilliance.

"No fucking way," Josh repeats, "You can't."

"You lost," Adam counters.

"But why her?" Josh asks looking at Josh wondering why his own friend would be so cruel.

"Because I figured she would really like to see you naked," Adam answers enjoying Josh’s shocked reaction.

Josh lets out a strangled whimper from his throat as he stares at the email of his naked pictures unable to blink. He can't believe Adam would do that to him, posting his nude pics to his friend Lindsey. Adam can't wipe the smile off his face as he looks at the shocked expression on Josh's face.

“Dude,” Josh says slowly still in a state of shock, “You can’t.”

“I already have man,” Adam replies still unable to stop smiling, “The email is already sent, Lindsey has your naked pictures.”

“Oh God,” Josh moans holding his head in his hands trying to process what has just happened.

“I dunno why you are acting like this,” Adam says, “Lindsey fancies you, she will love getting pics of you nude.”

Josh just groans into his palms as Adam really doesn’t get it, he and Lindsey have been really close friends for years and this will no doubt change their friendship forever. Josh is already scared that his phone will ring and an angry Lindsey will be on him for emailing her porn while she is at college. The naked teen can already hear Lindsey yelling at him for sending nude pics of himself to her while he still has a girlfriend. Adam doesn’t notice his friend’s inner torment as he spins around on his chair and picks up his PS4 controller.

“Fancy another game?” He asks the distraught Josh.

“You ruined my life,” Josh moans into his hands but Adam just lets out a snort of laughter.

“Oh man you are so blind trust me this wasn’t a punishment, you will end up thanking me for this,” The blonde replies as he quits out of the match and goes into the main FIFA 16 menu.

Josh is put out by how sure Adam sounds as he slowly lifts his head out of his hands. Adam has moved into the Ultimate Team menu and now turns to look at his naked best friend.

“So wanna do one of this new draft things,” The blonde asks and grateful for the distraction Josh nods his head.

“Yeah sure,” Josh says finally turning away from Adam’s computer.

“Oh and you can get dressed again,” Adam smirks watching a fresh blush rise across Josh’s cheeks.

The blonde has successfully humiliated his best friend and can now complete his dare to Simon too. Adam’s camera is still full of nude pics of Josh that he has completely forgotten about and that thought keeps Adam smiling. Josh slowly redresses still thinking about the fallout he might get from one of his best friends as soon as she checks her email. He doesn’t believe Adam for a second, he has known Lindsey for years and she never once showed any interest in him as a guy. Thanks to Adam now she will have seen him naked and Josh now understands that losing at strip FIFA is no longer just losing a simple game because the forfeits are starting to get more serious.
 
Adam is just out of the shower and still dripping wet as he walks into his bedroom. His Sunday has been ruined after a night of heavy rain left his team's game abandoned due to a waterlogged pitch. So the blonde has nothing to do all day and just when he is debating wasting his afternoon watching Netflix his phone buzzes. Adam is surprised to see a text from Simon as the blonde has not had much contact with the big defender since their last game of strip FIFA.

Hey man how u doing? Enjoying our day off lol, Simon's text reads.

Chuckling to himself Adam shoots back a quick text, Doing good man dead bored though.

No sooner has Adam put his phone down than it vibrates into life with Simon's reply.

Yeah really bored here too, fancy coming over for a game of FIFA?

Adam wonders if Simon wants to play strip FIFA and honestly Adam is looking forward to playing another game against him. He knows he can complete his losing dare from their last game and get revenge for losing all in the one trip.

Adam's fingers quickly type, Sure man I'll be right over.

10 minutes later Adam is dressed and walking onto the large estate where Simon lives thankful that the heavy rain has eased off. In his pocket Adam is carrying the digital camera that is full of Josh's naked pictures. Adam is nervous about handing pictures of his best friend over to Simon but it would have been far worse if he had not completed the dare. Walking up to Simon's house Adam starts to feel nervous, the last game he played against Simon saw him winning right up until the last 5 minutes when suddenly Simon pulled back two goals. It was a very impressive display of FIFA skills from Simon but Adam now knows how good Simon is at FIFA so knows he will have to play a perfect game in order to win.

"Hey man," Simon says opening the door the second Adam appears on his driveway.

"Hey," Adam replies walking up to the large defender carefully stepping round a large puddle.

"Is it raining?" Simon asks looking at Adam's still wet hair.

"No it's just stopped," Adam answers before stepping into Simon's house.

The blonde kicks off his shoes before turning round to see Simon looking at him with a nervous expression.

"What's up man?" Adam asks noticing the big defender looking more uncomfortable than normal.

"I honestly didn't think you would come around again after last time," Simon finally admits.

"Why cause I lost?" Adam replies raising his eyebrow suspiciously.

"Yeah and well," Simon lowers his head so he is talking to Adam's feet, "You had to strip right down to your boxers last time."

Adam shrugs his shoulders, "Yeah I guess so but that didn't make me not wanna come back and play again Simon honestly it made me want to come over more and beat you in a rematch."

"Oh," Simon says looking up in surprise, "I thought you were like pissed at me."

Laughing Adam shakes his head, "No the only reason it's been so long man is that I had trouble completing your dare."

"My dare?" Simon replies looking confused, "What dare?"

Adam's face drops, all that effort he put into getting Josh's naked pictures and Simon doesn't even remember the dare. Simon still looks confused and Adam takes a second to wonder if he should even remind the big defender about what he made him do.

"Oh you mean the forfeit," Simon says suddenly in realization.

"Yeah," Adam replies as the inside of his stomach starts to tighten with nerves.

"So you did it?" Simon questions and the blonde nods.

Simon lets out a low whistle impressed that Adam would actually do the forfeit.

"Did Josh mind?" The big centre back questions again wanting to know everything about how Adam got the pictures.

Once again Adam feels the knot in his stomach tighten, he and Simon are just not as close as him and Josh are so every small secret is much harder to express. Adam ponders telling Simon that Josh agreed to the pics but that would be a straight out lie and Adam is sure Simon would try to talk to Josh about it.

"He erm doesn't know," Adam finally admits.

"Holy shit dude," Simon says gasping in shock, "You did it without his permission."

"Well not really I beat him in a game of strip FIFA and his forfeit was to take naked pictures," Adam says quickly but Simon still looks stunned.

The big defender just stares at Adam wondering how deep their strip FIFA games go. Simon has always enjoyed reading online stories about strip games or truth or dare stuff but this is real life and with people he knows. Ever since the first strip FIFA game Simon has been online daily looking around You Tube for more strip FIFA videos. He still almost cannot believe that his own team mates play strip FIFA with each other and Simon also can't believe that he actually played a strip game and won. Adam just shrugs trying to be cool about it even though the guilt about taking Josh's naked pictures and not telling him what they are really for still makes him uncomfortable.

"So you actually have the pics here?" Simon questions and Adam nods in reply.

The blonde slips his hand into the pocket of his jeans pulling out the small digital camera.

"Wow," Simon gasps, "He let you take pics on a proper camera?"

"Well he lost the game so he didn't have a choice," Adam replies handing the camera over.

"Fucking hell man," Simon swears taking the camera, "You two are on another fucking level."

"It keeps FIFA entertaining," Adam replies quickly.

"Even the new one?" Simon asks and Adam answers with a smile.

"Hell yeah I beat Josh every game we played on FIFA 16," Adam proudly replies.

"Good cause I've got the new FIFA too," Simon says, "So I guess you will have no trouble playing it then?"

Adam shakes his head, "None at all man I look forward to scoring a shit ton of goals and getting you as naked as I got Josh."

"You wanna play strip FIFA rules again?" Simon says slightly surprised by Adam's willingness to play strip rules.

"Fuck yeah I am owned a win against you Simon," Adam says determinedly.

"Fine ok then," Simon says not wanting to argue with the more forceful blonde, "Let's go play."

"Hey what about the pictures?" Adam asks pointing to the camera in Simon's hand.

"Oh I'll look at them later I wanna get a game in first," Simon explains before he starts climbing up the stairs.

Adam shrugs and follows the large defender upstairs to his bedroom and the room looks exactly the same as it did on Adam's last visit apart from the large sports bag on Simon's bed.

"So you thought the game today was going ahead?" Adam asks as Simon takes the bag off the bed and dumps it under his desk.

"I was hoping so yeah it's great when the pitch is dead muddy, it slows everyone down to my pace," Simon jokes as he switches on his PS4.

Adam laughs taking a seat down on Simon's bed before the large centre back throws Adam a controller.

"Same rules as last time?" Simon asks as he sits down.

"Pretty much but you can keep hitting random until you find a team you like," Adam explains, "It reduces the chances of being left with a crap team."

"Is that rule you and Josh have?" Simon asks while FIFA 16 loads up.

"All the rules we play are the same ones me and Josh use," Adam quickly counters making Simon laugh.

"So they are official strip FIFA rules then," Simon says still laughing.

"Yeah they are the proper FIFA enforced rules of strip FIFA gaming," Adam laughs joining in with the joke as Simon moves into the game's main menu.

Simon quickly chooses a kick off match but before he goes to pick a side he looks over at Adam with yet another question.

"Does it just have to be Premier League teams?" He asks and Adam stops to think for a second.

Simon hopes he isn't putting Adam off by asking all these questions. The big defender just finds it so nervous actually talking about playing a strip game for real rather than just reading fantasy stories online. Simon has often wondered if he has a fetish for strip games but he senses he enjoys reading about the competition part rather than the possible sexual nature of the game. Much like when he plays football Simon enjoys the challenge of playing well rather than the result. His primary school coach often joked he had the same attitude as a Cruyff or Robson and if he wasn't so damn big he would have made a skillful free playing attacker.

"No it doesn't man pick any team you want," Adam finally says knowing that picking a team from any league will make the challenge even more random and exciting.

"Cool," Simon says hitting the random button to choose his league.

After three crappy picks Simon gives Adam a knowing smirk and goes back to the Premier League.

"I feel like I should stick with what I know for this match," Simon jokes as he hits the random button again and gets Spurs.

"Good pick," Adam says, "I think I wanna go for a German team."

Simon can only nod his head unsurprised that Adam wouldn't be as stupid as to try and randomly pick a league. 5 random presses later and Adam still hasn't found a Bundesliga team he likes.

"Last pick Adam I'm getting bored here," Simon warns and silently Adam agrees hitting the square button one last time.

"Not so bad," Adam lies as he looks at his random choice of team, VFB Stuttgart.

So much for random picks removing the chance of picking crap teams Adam thinks as he wonders just who the hell actually plays for Stuttgart.

"You were really hoping to get Bayern weren't you?" Simon says with a knowing smile.

Adam ignores him and goes to set up the rest if the game when Simon speaks up once again.

"Hey why don't we play in the same conditions as outside?" The big defender suggests.

"What heavy rain and a waterlogged pitch?" Adam asks.

"No just the rain and maybe make the pitch wear heavy too so it looks like a proper mud bath," Simon says excitedly.

"You are such a football nerd sometimes," Adam teases knowing Simon is into the challenging aspects of football rather than the winning.

Adam knows Simon really wasn't kidding when he said he would love to play on a water soaked pitch. Simon would almost do anything that challenged his skill level and the thought only just occurs to Adam that this aspect of his character is probably why he agreed to play strip FIFA in the first place. Adam changes the settings to just what Simon asked for, a rainy overcast with the pitch type changed to heavy.

"Happy now?" Adam teases.

"Just giving your crappy team a chance," Simon quickly fires back.

Adam laughs but Simon might be right, the random pick has not been good to him today and he is really going to need to play well in order to beat Simon at strip FIFA.
 
The game starts at White Hart Lane with the weather conditions similar to what is currently outside Simon's bedroom window. It's grey and cold with big spots of rain splashing down from the sky but the pitch somehow looks immaculate.

"So much for a mud bath," Adam says as the teams walk out onto a pitch that looks perfectly normal.

"Yeah I guess FIFA pitches don't have a ploughed up muddy field mode," Simon jokes.

The game kicks off and Adam has to spend the first couple of minutes learning about his Stuttgart team. He carefully passes the ball around between his players but finds that the heavy pitch option has taken some effect on play after all.

"God this pitch is really heavy," Adam says in surprise as his pass to the winger is misplaced and skids all the way out of play.

Simon now has control of the ball and his Spurs team quickly pass the ball upfield before getting the ball into the feet of Harry Kane. He shoots and his shot is well struck enough that it forces the keeper to make a save but then the game stops as the offside flag is raised.

"You are right the pitch is tough," Simon says as Adam takes his free kick.

"Yeah players just miscontrol the ball the second it goes near them," Adam replies just as his centre back sees the ball bounce off his foot and fly almost to the feet of an onrushing Spurs attacker.

"Well then it's an even playing field if the bad pitch is affecting both of us," Simon says smartly, "I can't win just because I have the team with better stats, I gotta play well too."

Adam would have to agree with that but it is still really hard for him to play any type of passing game on such an unpredictable pitch. The blonde has to think carefully about every pass he plays and finally 15 minutes into the game Adam works a good passing move that eventually puts his right back through on goal. The Spurs goalkeeper Lloris has to rush out quickly to close down the angle and just manages to smother the ball before Adam can get his shot away.

"Ahhh so close," Adam exclaims knowing he held onto the shoot button for too long allowing Simon's keeper to claim the ball.

"Yeah that was a very dangerous attack man," Simon says encouragingly wanting the blonde to play well and not blame his poor random choice on losing.

Adam starts to realize that his Stuttgart team aren't very good as Spurs being to take more control over the match. To Adam this feels like an FA Cup game with him desperately defending with all he's got while Simon keeps control of the ball easily passing it around looking for an opening. 18 minutes into the match and the ball is played to Harry Kane just outside the box and the England striker turns quickly and shoots forcing the Stuttgart keeper to tip the ball over the bar.

"Damn that was close," Adam says knowing he can't afford to go a goal down against a good FIFA player like Simon.

The resulting corner is whipped in dangerously and Vertonghen heads just wide forcing another huge sigh of relief from Adam. The pressure is mounting however and just a couple of minutes later Adam plays a poor back pass that allows Kane to race past his defense and get one on one with the keeper. Kane's shot beats the keeper but hits off the post sadly for Adam the ball bounces right back to Kane who squares it for Dembele to fire into an empty net.

"Fuck," Adam cries out trying not to slam his controller down in anger.

"Yeah that was unlucky," Simon replies showing sympathy knowing how lucky he was that the ball bounced off the post straight back to him.

"You know this could end up being a real ass kicking," Adam says glumly as he grabs the bottom of his hoodie and peels it off.

"Whoa how many layers are you wearing today?" Simon asks seeing that Adam is wearing a plain white t shirt underneath his hoodie.

"Probably not enough," Adam replies worried that he is already 1 nil down with just 20 minutes of game play gone.

Adam throws his hoodie next to him on the bed and resumes play this time going all out on attack straight from the kickoff. He manages to get the ball to his lone striker just outside the box but his shot flies at a comfortable height that is easy for Simon's keeper to palm away.

"Dammit Lloris let me score," Adam complains making Simon laugh.

The worry Adam had that the game would become a massacre is unfounded as both players struggle to pass the ball around successfully. Any pass longer than 5 yards tends to bobble and bounce around like an erratic pinball meaning that both Adam and Simon have to resort to very short passes just so their players can actually control the ball.

"You know what I was wrong before the pitch is definitely cutting up now," Adam says as he plays a misplaced pass across the Spurs box.

"Yeah I don't think this was the best idea," Simon responds gaining possession of the ball before being hacked down from behind.

"Yeah fine that's a yellow card all day long, I fucked up," Adam sighs as his creative midfielder Didavi ends up in the referee's book.

Simon chooses not to say anything about Adam's bad tackle and instead tries to quickly launch the free kick upfield but the referee's whistle soon blows signaling half time.

"God this is so hard Stuttgart are rubbish," Adam complains as the half time highlights start to play.

"Still you are only a goal down and with the pitch being shit I can't play as well so you still have a chance," Simon points out.

Adam shrugs as Simon speaks again, "Anyway dunno why you are worried you are probably wearing so many extra layers that I can't get you naked no matter how many I score."

The blonde laughs for a second then replies, "It's not being naked that worries me it's the forfeit afterwards."

"Oh are we still doing a forfeit?" Simon asks.

"Yeah," Adam says nodding his head "There has to be some kind of bonus for just winning the game."

"What if I just use the forfeit to make you get naked?" Simon asks again still so curious about the rules Adam and Josh came up with.

"No you have to be more creative than that," Adam laughs as he switches onto his team selection screen.

While Simon ponders on Adam's words Adam is busy making changes to his side bringing on a new striker and central midfielder hoping that will make the difference.

"So the forfeit can be anything?" Simon asks suddenly breaking the silence.

"Within reason yeah nothing illegal or public like but yeah pretty much anything humiliating you want the loser to do," Adam replies.

"Like taking nude pics on a camera?" Simon quickly says looking over at Adam's digital camera.

The blonde blushes but nods his head before pressing X on his controller to start the second half and get away from the awkward fact that Simon still hasn't looked at the pics on the camera. Adam starts the second half well moving the ball around the greasy pitch much better than he did in the first half until he wins a free kick 40 yards from goal. The blonde takes the free kick quickly passing the ball to the nearest midfielder who just turns his defender and shoots low but Spurs keeper is once again equal to the effort.

"Lloris is going to be impossible to beat today," Adam whines making Simon smirk.

"Are you this upset when you play Josh?" Simon asks curiously.

"No cause I'm usually well beating Josh at this stage," Adam quickly replies with a grin.

Simon laughs again before going back to concentrating on the rain soaked match as Adam wins a corner. The ball is whipped in and cleared but Adam's striker has hit the ground after jumping up to contest the corner and has worrying stayed down. The injury screen pops up showing that Adam's striker has broken his collarbone and will have to be substituted.

"Shit I only just brought him on as well," Adam complains as he is forced into making his 3rd and final substitution.

Bringing on a new player takes away all the early momentum Adam had been building in the second half so now Simon starts to take control. His Spurs team settle back into the groove of passing around Adam's desperately chasing midfielders and the blonde is starting to get annoyed at the fact he can't get a touch of the ball. When Dele Alli picks the ball up 35 yards away from goal Adam loses control and recklessly slides in upending the young England international.

"How do you manage to tackle in the game worse than you tackle in real life?" Simon jokes as Adam picks up his second yellow card of the game.

"I almost won the ball," Adam teases back as the replay shows him clearly sliding into Alli's legs bundling him over in a way that would be a foul even in MMA.

Simon lines up the free kick with Tottenham dead ball specialist Christian Eriksen who hits a rocket of a shot over the wall and Adam's keeper has to pull off an amazing save.

"OHHHHH what a save," Simon yells having convinced he had hit that free kick right into the top corner.

"Yeah amazing save," Adam agrees, "Got away with that," He adds.

Sadly for both men the next ten minutes game play drag as the pitch becomes more and more impossible to play football on. After yet another miscontrolled pass that bobbles harmlessly out for a throw in Adam turns to look at the big defender.

"Ok your idea that this pitch would help me out is bullshit," Adam says firmly.

Simon nods in agreement, "Yeah I think this match should have been called off like ours,"

Adam rolls his eyes but gets back to the game as there are only 10 minutes left and he just has to find some way to get a goal. Slowly Stuttgart work the ball forward, Adam being extra careful not to let the ball bounce or spin away from his control on the soaking wet pitch. He works the ball to the edge of the area then before Simon's defenders can react Adam quickly slides the ball into the box where his third choice striker controls it and takes a shot. The ball bounces off the keeper's hands back into the middle of the box and Adam gasps as his midfielder charges in and heads the rebounded ball towards the goal.

"Oh for fuck's sake," Adam shouts dropping his head into his hands as the ball flies wide.

"Now that is really unlucky," Simon says sympathizing with his friend.

"I can't believe I didn't score then," Adam complains to no one as time slips away and the young teen becomes convinced that he can't win.

In the 89th minute Simon slides a great through ball across the ripped up turf beating Adam's tired defence. Harry Kane latches onto it and races at goal but his shot is blocked by the keeper. The ball spins across the 6 yard box and to Simon's annoyance no Spurs players are around to tap the ball into the empty net.

"God that was lucky," Adam says amazed that the ball didn't go in his net.

Injury time has started and Adam now completely believes that he can't win this strip FIFA match so when A Spurs defender gets the ball Adam loses it. The red mist has descended and he desperately slides in with Didavi missing the ball completely and upending Danny Rose. Adam groans as the referee rushes over and the blonde knows his fate before the card comes out.

"Bad luck mate," Simon says as the red card comes out and Didavi has to walk.

"Bollocks, that was so stupid," Adam mutters knowing what a mistake he made.

"It's not that bad man," Simon says, "There are only a few seconds of the game left."

"No it's the fucking rules again," Adam moans, "I gotta strip."

"Why?" Simon asks.

"Cause we made the rule that if someone stupid like me got sent off then they would have to take off two items of clothing," Adam sighs sadly.

"Oh that seems harsh," Simon replies wondering just how complex these strip FIFA rules are.

"Well you shouldn't really get someone sent off so it's a deterrent but doesn't seem to be working for me," The blonde glumly jokes.

Adam looks down at his black socks and wonders about taking them off first but it's a cold day so the blonde decides to leave his warm socks on and remove the rest of his clothing. Adam stands up and unzips his jeans before pulling them down revealing his dark red boxers while Simon tries not to watch too hard as one of his team mates strips down in front of him. Adam peels off his plain white t shirt then sits back down on Simon's bed in just his socks and boxer shorts. The blonde sighs feeling embarrassed at once again being left in his underwear in Simon's bedroom and now he is on a losing streak against the big defender.

"This is awkward," Adam announces suddenly making Simon laugh.

"They are your rules man," Simon says, "I wouldn't have made you strip for a red card."

"That doesn't make me feel any bett
 
Everyone's a critic... Those are the kind of unnecessary cruel words which stifle stories and cripple artists. If it isn't for you, then move on elsewhere? What do you gain by trolling?

Why and how did you get to the end of the thread if you weren't intrigued? Either you didn't read it and felt your three belittling words were more important than the obvious effort on exhibition or the story compelled you enough to get here. If you can't say something encouraging or constructive, then why interject knowing it can only frustrate or paralyze a word smith?

Be nice....please. Some of us want to know what happens next...
 
The game starts at White Hart Lane with the weather conditions similar to what is currently outside Simon's bedroom window. It's grey and cold with big spots of rain splashing down from the sky but the pitch somehow looks immaculate.

"So much for a mud bath," Adam says as the teams walk out onto a pitch that looks perfectly normal.

"Yeah I guess FIFA pitches don't have a ploughed up muddy field mode," Simon jokes.

The game kicks off and Adam has to spend the first couple of minutes learning about his Stuttgart team. He carefully passes the ball around between his players but finds that the heavy pitch option has taken some effect on play after all.

"God this pitch is really heavy," Adam says in surprise as his pass to the winger is misplaced and skids all the way out of play.

Simon now has control of the ball and his Spurs team quickly pass the ball upfield before getting the ball into the feet of Harry Kane. He shoots and his shot is well struck enough that it forces the keeper to make a save but then the game stops as the offside flag is raised.

"You are right the pitch is tough," Simon says as Adam takes his free kick.

"Yeah players just miscontrol the ball the second it goes near them," Adam replies just as his centre back sees the ball bounce off his foot and fly almost to the feet of an onrushing Spurs attacker.

"Well then it's an even playing field if the bad pitch is affecting both of us," Simon says smartly, "I can't win just because I have the team with better stats, I gotta play well too."

Adam would have to agree with that but it is still really hard for him to play any type of passing game on such an unpredictable pitch. The blonde has to think carefully about every pass he plays and finally 15 minutes into the game Adam works a good passing move that eventually puts his right back through on goal. The Spurs goalkeeper Lloris has to rush out quickly to close down the angle and just manages to smother the ball before Adam can get his shot away.

"Ahhh so close," Adam exclaims knowing he held onto the shoot button for too long allowing Simon's keeper to claim the ball.

"Yeah that was a very dangerous attack man," Simon says encouragingly wanting the blonde to play well and not blame his poor random choice on losing.

Adam starts to realize that his Stuttgart team aren't very good as Spurs being to take more control over the match. To Adam this feels like an FA Cup game with him desperately defending with all he's got while Simon keeps control of the ball easily passing it around looking for an opening. 18 minutes into the match and the ball is played to Harry Kane just outside the box and the England striker turns quickly and shoots forcing the Stuttgart keeper to tip the ball over the bar.

"Damn that was close," Adam says knowing he can't afford to go a goal down against a good FIFA player like Simon.

The resulting corner is whipped in dangerously and Vertonghen heads just wide forcing another huge sigh of relief from Adam. The pressure is mounting however and just a couple of minutes later Adam plays a poor back pass that allows Kane to race past his defense and get one on one with the keeper. Kane's shot beats the keeper but hits off the post sadly for Adam the ball bounces right back to Kane who squares it for Dembele to fire into an empty net.

"Fuck," Adam cries out trying not to slam his controller down in anger.

"Yeah that was unlucky," Simon replies showing sympathy knowing how lucky he was that the ball bounced off the post straight back to him.

"You know this could end up being a real ass kicking," Adam says glumly as he grabs the bottom of his hoodie and peels it off.

"Whoa how many layers are you wearing today?" Simon asks seeing that Adam is wearing a plain white t shirt underneath his hoodie.

"Probably not enough," Adam replies worried that he is already 1 nil down with just 20 minutes of game play gone.

Adam throws his hoodie next to him on the bed and resumes play this time going all out on attack straight from the kickoff. He manages to get the ball to his lone striker just outside the box but his shot flies at a comfortable height that is easy for Simon's keeper to palm away.

"Dammit Lloris let me score," Adam complains making Simon laugh.

The worry Adam had that the game would become a massacre is unfounded as both players struggle to pass the ball around successfully. Any pass longer than 5 yards tends to bobble and bounce around like an erratic pinball meaning that both Adam and Simon have to resort to very short passes just so their players can actually control the ball.

"You know what I was wrong before the pitch is definitely cutting up now," Adam says as he plays a misplaced pass across the Spurs box.

"Yeah I don't think this was the best idea," Simon responds gaining possession of the ball before being hacked down from behind.

"Yeah fine that's a yellow card all day long, I fucked up," Adam sighs as his creative midfielder Didavi ends up in the referee's book.

Simon chooses not to say anything about Adam's bad tackle and instead tries to quickly launch the free kick upfield but the referee's whistle soon blows signaling half time.

"God this is so hard Stuttgart are rubbish," Adam complains as the half time highlights start to play.

"Still you are only a goal down and with the pitch being shit I can't play as well so you still have a chance," Simon points out.

Adam shrugs as Simon speaks again, "Anyway dunno why you are worried you are probably wearing so many extra layers that I can't get you naked no matter how many I score."

The blonde laughs for a second then replies, "It's not being naked that worries me it's the forfeit afterwards."

"Oh are we still doing a forfeit?" Simon asks.

"Yeah," Adam says nodding his head "There has to be some kind of bonus for just winning the game."

"What if I just use the forfeit to make you get naked?" Simon asks again still so curious about the rules Adam and Josh came up with.

"No you have to be more creative than that," Adam laughs as he switches onto his team selection screen.

While Simon ponders on Adam's words Adam is busy making changes to his side bringing on a new striker and central midfielder hoping that will make the difference.

"So the forfeit can be anything?" Simon asks suddenly breaking the silence.

"Within reason yeah nothing illegal or public like but yeah pretty much anything humiliating you want the loser to do," Adam replies.

"Like taking nude pics on a camera?" Simon quickly says looking over at Adam's digital camera.

The blonde blushes but nods his head before pressing X on his controller to start the second half and get away from the awkward fact that Simon still hasn't looked at the pics on the camera. Adam starts the second half well moving the ball around the greasy pitch much better than he did in the first half until he wins a free kick 40 yards from goal. The blonde takes the free kick quickly passing the ball to the nearest midfielder who just turns his defender and shoots low but Spurs keeper is once again equal to the effort.

"Lloris is going to be impossible to beat today," Adam whines making Simon smirk.

"Are you this upset when you play Josh?" Simon asks curiously.

"No cause I'm usually well beating Josh at this stage," Adam quickly replies with a grin.

Simon laughs again before going back to concentrating on the rain soaked match as Adam wins a corner. The ball is whipped in and cleared but Adam's striker has hit the ground after jumping up to contest the corner and has worrying stayed down. The injury screen pops up showing that Adam's striker has broken his collarbone and will have to be substituted.

"Shit I only just brought him on as well," Adam complains as he is forced into making his 3rd and final substitution.

Bringing on a new player takes away all the early momentum Adam had been building in the second half so now Simon starts to take control. His Spurs team settle back into the groove of passing around Adam's desperately chasing midfielders and the blonde is starting to get annoyed at the fact he can't get a touch of the ball. When Dele Alli picks the ball up 35 yards away from goal Adam loses control and recklessly slides in upending the young England international.

"How do you manage to tackle in the game worse than you tackle in real life?" Simon jokes as Adam picks up his second yellow card of the game.

"I almost won the ball," Adam teases back as the replay shows him clearly sliding into Alli's legs bundling him over in a way that would be a foul even in MMA.

Simon lines up the free kick with Tottenham dead ball specialist Christian Eriksen who hits a rocket of a shot over the wall and Adam's keeper has to pull off an amazing save.

"OHHHHH what a save," Simon yells having convinced he had hit that free kick right into the top corner.

"Yeah amazing save," Adam agrees, "Got away with that," He adds.

Sadly for both men the next ten minutes game play drag as the pitch becomes more and more impossible to play football on. After yet another miscontrolled pass that bobbles harmlessly out for a throw in Adam turns to look at the big defender.

"Ok your idea that this pitch would help me out is bullshit," Adam says firmly.

Simon nods in agreement, "Yeah I think this match should have been called off like ours,"

Adam rolls his eyes but gets back to the game as there are only 10 minutes left and he just has to find some way to get a goal. Slowly Stuttgart work the ball forward, Adam being extra careful not to let the ball bounce or spin away from his control on the soaking wet pitch. He works the ball to the edge of the area then before Simon's defenders can react Adam quickly slides the ball into the box where his third choice striker controls it and takes a shot. The ball bounces off the keeper's hands back into the middle of the box and Adam gasps as his midfielder charges in and heads the rebounded ball towards the goal.

"Oh for fuck's sake," Adam shouts dropping his head into his hands as the ball flies wide.

"Now that is really unlucky," Simon says sympathizing with his friend.

"I can't believe I didn't score then," Adam complains to no one as time slips away and the young teen becomes convinced that he can't win.

In the 89th minute Simon slides a great through ball across the ripped up turf beating Adam's tired defence. Harry Kane latches onto it and races at goal but his shot is blocked by the keeper. The ball spins across the 6 yard box and to Simon's annoyance no Spurs players are around to tap the ball into the empty net.

"God that was lucky," Adam says amazed that the ball didn't go in his net.

Injury time has started and Adam now completely believes that he can't win this strip FIFA match so when A Spurs defender gets the ball Adam loses it. The red mist has descended and he desperately slides in with Didavi missing the ball completely and upending Danny Rose. Adam groans as the referee rushes over and the blonde knows his fate before the card comes out.

"Bad luck mate," Simon says as the red card comes out and Didavi has to walk.

"Bollocks, that was so stupid," Adam mutters knowing what a mistake he made.

"It's not that bad man," Simon says, "There are only a few seconds of the game left."

"No it's the fucking rules again," Adam moans, "I gotta strip."

"Why?" Simon asks.

"Cause we made the rule that if someone stupid like me got sent off then they would have to take off two items of clothing," Adam sighs sadly.

"Oh that seems harsh," Simon replies wondering just how complex these strip FIFA rules are.

"Well you shouldn't really get someone sent off so it's a deterrent but doesn't seem to be working for me," The blonde glumly jokes.

Adam looks down at his black socks and wonders about taking them off first but it's a cold day so the blonde decides to leave his warm socks on and remove the rest of his clothing. Adam stands up and unzips his jeans before pulling them down revealing his dark red boxers while Simon tries not to watch too hard as one of his team mates strips down in front of him. Adam peels off his plain white t shirt then sits back down on Simon's bed in just his socks and boxer shorts. The blonde sighs feeling embarrassed at once again being left in his underwear in Simon's bedroom and now he is on a losing streak against the big defender.

"This is awkward," Adam announces suddenly making Simon laugh.

"They are your rules man," Simon says, "I wouldn't have made you strip for a red card."

"That doesn't make me feel any bett
Please don’t leave us on a cliff hanger this shit is amazing
 
Sorry it took so long for next part…

"That was a good game you know apart from the pitch," Simon says feeling a little awkward now that Adam is just left in his underwear.

"And the red card and the fact that Stuttgart were rubbish," Adam adds unable to hide his grin even through his embarrassment.

"Yeah that happened too," Simon replies with a smirk, "But still I won."

"Yes you did so what happens now?" Adam asks nervously.

Simon pauses for a second and that only makes Adam even more nervous. The last dare Simon gave him was extremely tough to do and involved him lying to his best friend. The blonde has no idea what Simon is going to make him do this time but there is a feeling of fear itching away in the pit of his stomach.

"Actually you mind if I look at the pictures first before I give you the forfeit?" Simon asks.

Adam nods and watches Simon's large arm reach across his desk to grab the small digital camera. They are not even his naked pics yet Adam is sweating, something about exposing his best friend without his consent naturally feels weird. Simon turns on the camera and looks straight at the view screen and his mouth drops open in shock.

"Holy shit," Simon says softly staring at a nude picture of Josh.

Adam blushes harder knowing he is embarrassing his best friend without him even knowing about it. The shocked look stays on Simon's face as he flicks through the album of naked pics.

"I can't believe Josh did this," Simon says in disbelief.

"Well he didn't have a choice,"Adam replies wondering if a similar fate is about to befall him.

Part of Adam also wonders if Simon will pick up on the different look to Josh's body in the same way he did. No sooner after the thought occurs in Adam's head Simon lets out a gasp and looks up at the blonde.

"Holy fuck does Josh shave his pubes?" The shocked defender asks.

The blonde slowly nods his head, "Yeah he shaves all over."

"Oh that's why he looks completely fucking smooth," Simon exclaims finally understanding why Josh is hairless, "Did you make him do that?"

Adam quickly shakes his head, "No that was his own choice, nothing to do with me."

"Right," Simon says suspiciously.

"Dude fuck I didn't tell Josh to shave alright," A slightly angered Adam replies.

"Ok, Ok, calm down mate," Simon says with a grin, "I believe you,"

Adam shuffles uncomfortably around on Simon's bed as the large defender continues to look through his camera hoping against hope that Josh never finds out about what he has really done with his naked pics. Simon takes a deep breath before finally turning off the camera and places it back on his desk.

"Just wow," Simon says still stunned over seeing one of his teammate's nude pics.

"Yeah," Adam replies not really knowing what to say.

"I just still can't believe you got Josh to do that," Simon repeats amazed by what Adam and Josh have been doing.

"The power of strip FIFA man well you understand now don't you?" Adam grins knowing that this is Simon's second game and he will only get more addicted to playing it just like he and Josh did.

"I guess so but I haven't lost yet so maybe it's different when you lose," Simon says not wanting to tell Adam that playing strip games is something he has always wanted to do.

"Oh you will cause I'm gonna train night and day in order to finally beat you," Adam challenges trying not to feel silly about saying it in just his socks and undies.

"Haha good luck with that," Simon mocks before standing up.

Wearing such little clothing and having the tall defender towering over him leaves Adam feeling a little intimidated. The look Simon is giving him is not a comforting one for the blonde in fact Adam thinks it's the same look the big man had when he decided to play their match on the horrible heavy pitch that gave Adam even less of a chance of winning.

"So do you want your forfeit?" Simon asks and Adam silently nods yes.

"Good so um just remember this forfeit shit is all your idea I wasn't going to do it at all this time," Simon states trying to justify himself.

"Ok now I'm scared," Adam jokes trying to dull the building tension inside him.

Simon takes a deep breath and says, "Well er Adam for your forfeit I want you to shave like Josh has."

Time seems to stop for a few seconds for Adam as he tries to understand Simon's dare. It's one of those times where Adam is sure he mis heard the big defender so he asks for clarity.

"I'm sorry what did you say?" Adam asks slowly dreading the answer.

"Shave yourself just like Josh," Simon repeats enjoying the look of completely and total shock on the blonde's face.

"I can't do that," Adam says quickly stunned by Simon's highly personal request.

"Why?" Simon asks, "I'm not asking you to shave your head just all the hair on your body."

"That's still a pretty big fucking ask man," Adam says amazed that Simon could come up with such a dare.

"What's the big deal? It's just hair it will grow back you know," Simon replies quickly.

"It's a big deal," Adam says firmly, "I don't want to shave my body man it's stupid."

"You wanted a forfeit man and if Josh can shave his body then you can too," Simon argues making a good point.

Adam opens his mouth to speak and then shuts it again as his brain struggles to come up with a reasonable argument. Simon watches the wheels turn inside Adam's head and a small part of him wonders if Adam is just going to get dressed and leave. Desperately thinking of his way out of his predicament Adam has to address his one big worry, if he shaves his body and Josh finds out he will ask why and Adam doesn't think he can lie his way out of that situation. He doesn't want Josh to find out he plays strip FIFA with another teammate and he definitely doesn't want Josh to know that Simon has also seen his naked pics.

"I don't have a razor," Adam spits out but the second Simon starts to smile Adam's stomach sinks.

"That's ok I buy packs of disposable ones you can use one of them," Simon says unable to hide the smirk on his face.

There is no way out of this now Adam thinks as Simon rises from his chair and moves towards his closet. He pulls an open pack of disposable razors down before pulling out a razor which suddenly raises a question in Adam's mind.

"Dude that looks like a matchstick in your hand, why do you even have tiny disposable razors?" The blonde asks.

The question takes Simon back a second before he answers honestly, "Well I don't grow a lot of facial hair so the little I do get is easier taken off with one of this little things rather than me wasting my money on a proper razor."

"Pity" Adam says standing up, "You would look even more intimating if you had a massive beard."

Simon resists the urge to throw the razor at a laughing Adam but in the end he giggles at the idea of him having a huge mountain man beard. He hands the underwear clad blonde the razor and Adam nervously looks up at him.

"Do I really have to do this?" The blonde asks softly.

"No but as the only other dare I can think of is making you call Josh and bringing him over for a game you are stuck doing this," Simon grins as Adam's face drops even further.

"You are fucking evil," The blonde teases knowing Simon is 100% right, he would rather shave his whole body than bring Josh over.

"Nope not evil just better than you at FIFA," Simon mocks showing a rare moment of ego.

Adam wonders what is it with shy people and getting confidence after playing strip FIFA, he also wonders why he is the one who has to deal with the consequences of the new found self belief of his friends. Staring down at the razor in his hands Adam knows there is no going back from this and starts to head out of Simon's bedroom.

"Good luck," Simon says still grinning at Adam's visible discomfort.

The blonde walks off to the bathroom in Simon's house mentally preparing himself for something that he honestly never thought he would do. The big mirror hanging over the sink doesn't help the blonde as it shows him standing there stupidly in just his socks and boxers. The embarrassment Adam feels is mounting as he grabs a half full can of shaving foam from off the shelf. The hair on his chest and arms might be minimal but he still wants some protection from the razor.

Slowly Adam sprays out a handful of the shaving foam then starts to rub it all over his chest before going up and down his arms until his whole upper body is caked in shaving foam. Adam nervously looks at the disposable razor in his hand, he has never used a razor like this before and is deeply worried about cutting himself but he lost the game so has to complete the forfeit. Taking a deep breath Adam slides the razor down his chest feeling the sharp blade tickle his heavily foamed chest before looking down to see the foam and some of his chest hairs gathered on the razor.

Feeling a little more relaxed Adam moves the razor down across his chest again cutting away at the hair on his body. Adam runs the razor up and down his cheat and very quickly the blonde finds himself smooth chested. Cleaning off the razor under the tap Adam starts to work on his arms. The disposable razor works remarkably well in removing the hairs from his strong forearms quickly making them as smooth as his chest. Adam makes quick work of the few hairs around his washboard stomach before taking care to roll the razor up the underside of his arms making sure his armpits is smooth too.

Once his upper body is completely shaved Adam gets a towel and wipes the last few drops of shaving cream off his body before looking in the mirror at his bare torso. It looks weird for Adam to see his chest devoid of any hair making him look like a 12 year old again. Taking a seat on Simon's toilet Adam now looks at his hairy legs and sighs knowing it will take a lot more shaving to get his legs as bare as his chest. An ex coach once told him that the best footballers do shave their legs so it almost doesn't feel as weird to Adam as shaving his chest did. Putting the foam on his legs Adam quickly shaves his legs bare and now the teen really does feel weird.

His legs look all pink and smooth leaving an embarrassed Adam enduring the sensation of feeling the cold air tickling across his skin. Cleaning up the mess on the floor and dumping it onto the toilet Adam steps back in front of the mirror with just one part of his body left to shave. Adam slips his fingers into his boxer shorts and pulls them down to his knees. The fabric of his boxers brushes uncomfortably against his shaved legs as Adam looks down at his patch of pubic hair.

"Oh fuck this is so stupid," Adam mutters to himself.

He sprays his crotch with shaving foam before he takes another deep breath putting his hand on his cock to move it out of the way of the sharp razor. The blonde shaves away at his pubes making himself as bare skinned as Josh. Adam gently rubs the sharp razor over his balls just to make sure they are smooth. The blonde is grateful that he isn't that hairy otherwise this would have been a much more painful ordeal before turning on the cold tap so he can clear away all the evidence of his full body shaving. He washes the razor off before dumping it in the nearby bin then he grabs a towel to wipe down his incredibly smooth body.

Adam feels strangle as he pulls his boxers back up and looks in the mirror at his hairless physique. The blonde can understand why Emma might not like rubbing body hair but he has no idea why Josh finds it so appealing. Adam feels cold and somehow more naked than he would with body hair in fact it feels like he has just taken off a heavy sweater. Flushing the toilet Adam takes one last check around the plain white bathroom just to double check that he has cleaned up after himself before going back to Simon.

"Wow well done," Simon says as a hairless Adam walks back into the room.

"This feels so fucking weird," Adam announces looking down at his baby smooth chest.

"You will probably end up actually getting a girlfriend now you are all shaved," Simon teases.

"Yeah, yeah laugh it up fucker next time I am taking you down," Adam says strongly.

"We could rematch now?" Simon offers but Adam shakes his head.

"Naw man it's late and I gotta be home before my mum gets back," Adam says as he walks towards his pile of clothes.

"Ok cool but one thing first," Simon says making Adam stop in his tracks, "I need to check that you shaved everything."

"What do you mean?" Adam asks.

"Did you shave your pubes?" Simon questions.

"Yes I did," Adam says slightly annoyed at being questioned.

"Prove it," The large defender says.

Adam thinks about telling Simon to fuck off but instead decides to get it over with. He turns around and pulls down the front of his boxers revealing his completely shaved pelvic area.

"Holy shit," Simon says as Adam pulls his boxers back up.

"Happy now?" Adam asks and Simon nods so the blonde turns to his pile of clothes and starts to redress.

Stunned that Adam actually went through with all of his forfeit Simon moves back to his desk where he sees Adam's camera.

"Hey don't forget this," Simon says holding up the small red camera.

"No you keep it," Adam says before his head disappears inside his hoodie, "I gotta win it back off you now."

"Oh ok," Simon says wondering just where he is going to keep a camera with pictures of a naked teammate.

Adam redresses and starts to shift around trying to get used to the new sensation of feeling his clothing brushing off his freshly shaved skin.

"Fuck if I start itching cause of this dare I am gonna kill you," Adam moans rubbing his skin through his clothing.

"Don't be such a baby," Simon teases, "If Josh can handle it then you can too."

Adam grins despite of the embarrassment he still feels having been forced to shave his body bare. He gives Simon a friendly pat on the shoulder before walking out of the big defender's bedroom. The blonde is already thinking about spending all night playing FIFA online to improve his skills so that the next time he faces off against Simon he can be the one giving out the humiliating forfeit.
 
The last few weeks of college have been tough for Adam as he struggled through a mountain of coursework and extra football training. He is so thankful that today is not only a Friday but that he is on a two week break for half term. The blonde is walking home with a spring in his step at the thought of two weeks of free time which Adam plans to use his to train religiously at FIFA 16 in order to beat Simon.

Two straight defeats to the big defender has made Adam wonder if he is really as good at FIFA as he thought. The other thing that has been weighting on Adam's mind is the behavior of his best friend Josh. At first Adam was convinced he had totally ruined his friendship with the skinny winger after their last strip FIFA forfeit.

Adam doesn't have any regrets about sending Josh's nude pictures to Lindsey because only Josh seems blind to the fact that Lindsey has a huge crush on him. Josh's reaction to it however did upset the blonde as Josh didn't speak to him for nearly a week and when he did get back in touch Adam noticed just how happy his best friend was. It's like there are now two different Josh's, one who was so angry and upset at him for sending out those nude pics then a Josh who is happier than Adam can ever remember him being.

The worst part is Adam has no idea what sparked Josh's 180 degree personality switch. Adam wonders if Lindsey has contacted him about the pictures but he is too afraid of getting Josh upset to ask him. The blonde has even wondered if Josh is cheating on Emma with Lindsey but quickly dismisses that thought because he has never seen Josh so attached to his girlfriend as he has been over the past week. Josh's attitude change remains a complete mystery but it's not something Adam desperately wants to solve because he is just happy Josh is still talking to him.

"Hey man wait up," A voice behind him shouts so Adam slows down until Josh walks up next to him.

"You going to Baxter's party tomorrow night?" The shaven headed teen asks.

The blonde shakes his head, "No way I remember her last party when the cops got called."

Josh smiles, "Yeah that was awesome and they thought she was the hooker we hired for the party that was boss."

Adam laughs too remembering Sarah Baxter's horrified expression when the policeman tried to arrest her for being a prostitute at her own 18th birthday party.

"In fairness though she was dressed really slutty," Adam says once both men have stopped laughing.

"That's why I thought you'd be going," Josh says with a cheeky grin, "The chance to perv over Sarah in another slutty outfit."

Adam lets out a bark of laughter, "Fuck man I'm single but not desperate enough to just go over to a party to look at some slutty dressed girls."

"You've changed," Josh teases, "So what are you doing tonight?"

"Dunno," Adam says with a shrug, "Was just thinking of chilling out maybe play some FIFA online."

"Sounds good," Josh replies, "Though now I've got FIFA 16 and had a change to practice on it I'm good for a rematch with you."

Adam swings his head around to look at his friend surprised at him for offering to play FIFA again.

"Well ok I guess if you are not out with Emma tonight," The blonde says cautiously.

"Yeah Emma is out with her mate's so I got nothing to do tonight either," Josh says with a smile.

"Cool so a few games of FIFA round mine then," Adam says happy to be spending some time with his best friend.

"Unless you wanna do a strip FIFA rematch instead?" Josh offers.

"Really? Even after the last one?" Adam says in surprise.

Josh looks down for a second and just shrugs his shoulders, "Well I do owe you a punishment from that last dare."

Adam starts to feel uncomfortable knowing that what he did to Josh wasn't fair but he doesn't want Josh to punish him for it.

"I don't think I like the sound of that," The blonde admits.

"Good," Josh says with a grin, "So what do you think?"

"About playing strip FIFA?" Adam says slowly unsure if he should rush into a decision.

Josh has clearly been thinking about this a lot in fact Adam doesn't think Josh has ever been the first to suggest a game of strip FIFA. Adam worries that Josh might have some elaborate setup in mind in order to get payback on him. That might be the reason he has been so happy lately, Josh might have a plan that totally humiliates him.

"I dunno Josh I've not been on FIFA in a week so I'll be rusty," Adam explains.

"You beat me last time when I hadn't even played the game before," Josh counters quickly.

"That was the same for me too," Adam says sensing that Josh won't take no for an answer.

"Are you actually scared of a challenge?" Josh asks with a smirk looking over at his beat friend.

"Fuck you," Adam snaps back taking Josh's taunt personally.

"Hey don't get mad I just never thought you would turn down a game of strip FIFA," Josh says with a smile, "Hell the whole game was your idea in the first place."

"Yeah it was but I'm just not feeling in the zone today that's all," Adam says defensively.

"Can't beat me unless you are in the zone?" Josh asks curiously.

"Maybe," Adam replies knowing Josh is trying to wind him up.

"I like that," Josh says happily, "I must be a pretty good FIFA player if you can only beat me at your best."

Adam stops walking and just stares at his best friend. A cocky almost arrogant attitude from Josh is something Adam has never seen before in his best friend. Something big has definitely happened in Josh's life lately to bring about this new attitude. Adam wonders if the naked pictures he sent to Lindsey helped make these changes in Josh.

"I never said you weren't good at FIFA mate," Adam says trying to defuse the situation, "I always just seem to raise my game against you in strip FIFA."

"Well you won't have any problem doing it again then will you?," Josh teases.

"Man you really want to be beaten and stripped naked again don't you?" Adam fires back but Josh just laughs.

"I don't think that will happen man cause I've been practicing," Josh says proudly and Adam just rolls his eyes.

"Yeah sure you have man," Adam says sarcastically, "What with college work, training and having a girlfriend I bet you have put loads of hours into a video game."

"Think whatever you like," Josh says with a smile," "But the truth is I'm fully prepared and could easily kick your arse in a game of strip FIFA."

Adam pauses for a second thinking about the challenge Josh just laid down. His best friend certainly wants some payback for the stunt Adam pulled with the last forfeit. Adam is worried about what kind of dare a revenge driven Josh might have up his sleeves but he is more worried about the confidence Josh is showing.

Josh has never sounded so assured before and even as his best friend Adam can't tell if Josh is lying about his extra FIFA practice. The challenge has been laid down however and Adam doesn't think he can turn it down. Josh might be getting him into a trap but Adam still feels confident that his FIFA skills are better than Josh's.

"Ok then your on," Adam says turning to face his friend, "A game of strip FIFA but don't get all bitchy when you lose."

Josh laughs, "Ok then I won't but I'm not gonna lose today."

"What do you always say about me being overconfident?" Adam smirks.

"This isn't overconfident mate I know I can win and I know you have more than earned a nasty forfeit thanks to all the crap you pulled on me," Josh explains.

"You gonna email naked pics of me to the whole squad?" Adam curiously asks.

"No way," Josh replies shaking his head, "No naked pics mate but what I have in mind is something more painful."

"Sounds like you have been giving this a lot of thought," Adam says feeling nervous wondering what Josh's forfeit might be.

"Nearly everytime I practiced on FIFA 16 I was thinking about what punishment I could give to you," Josh says honestly.

"Now I am worried," Adam laughs as he turns towards his house.

"Good," Josh says with a smile feeling like he is in Adam's head right now.

Both teens are silent now thinking about the strip FIFA match ahead of them. The last game was super tense all thanks to the naked pictures forfeit and Josh knows he lost that game to Adam because he was too worried about losing and having his naked body exposed. Now Josh has turned the tables and has Adam worrying about the forfeit hopefully distracting him from playing the game at his best.

Josh has been spending a few hours before bed each night playing FIFA 16 trying to get better and he now feels that his skills are good enough to be able to challenge Adam. Of course Josh has only been practicing against the computer and not against human players so it is possible that all the tricks he picked up might be useless against a real person.

Adam honestly never expected to play another strip FIFA game with Josh. He thought that sending Josh's naked pictures to Lindsey was the last straw for the tall winger so for Josh to even bring up the subject of strip FIFA again has Adam on the back foot. Adam doesn't even have a forfeit in mind for when he beats Josh as all his plans for FIFA practice have gone out the window.

"We gonna pick random teams again?" Josh asks breaking the silence as they walk up to Adam's house.

"Yeah don't see why not but be better to pick which league we wanna get random teams from," Adam explains, "So we don't spend all day getting through all the crappy leagues."

Josh nods as Adam pulls his keys out of his jeans and unlocks his front door. He still can't quite believe Josh has forgiven him for the last strip FIFA forfeit and in the back of the blonde's mind he still wonders did this whole thing is an elaborate setup. Would the new confident Josh actually set him up then try and screw him over during a game of strip FIFA, the fact that Adam doesn't know Josh's true intentions worries the blonde.
 
"Here you go," Adam says as he walks into his bedroom handing Josh a bottle of Powerade.

"Cheers mate," Josh replies popping the cap open and taking a quick sip.

Adam puts his own drink down and looks over at his TV to see that Josh has already booted up FIFA 16 and is going through the play match screen.

"So what league are we going for?" Josh asks as Adam picks up his controller.

"Dunno maybe Spain?" Adam wonders aloud.

"You know your addiction to wanting to be Barcelona is gonna cost you one day," Josh teases.

"Maybe but I have a good feeling about getting a great pick from Spain today," Adam says with a grin as he hits the random team button.

"Not bad," The blonde remarks looking at his random pick, Deportivo La Coruna.

"Do you know anyone who plays for Deportivo?" Josh asks curiously.

"No," Adam replies shaking his head, "But they are Spanish so can't be that bad."

Josh simply shrugs his shoulders and sighs, he can't be bothered telling Adam that Deportivo are a team that regularly struggle near the bottom of La Liga.

"Go on then pick your team," Adam says ignoring Josh's shrug feeling confident that he can beat Josh with any team on FIFA.

"Fuck yes," Josh says unable to hide his grin as Atletico Madrid pop up on screen.

"Ok I will admit that's a really good team," Adam says with a hint of nerves.

Atletico won the Spanish league a season ago and were narrowly beaten in the Champions League final so it is a fantastic pick for Josh.

"Well I'm more than happy with my pick," Josh says still grinning, "Sure you don't want to change yours."

Adam shakes his head, "No I don't believe that you have practiced any so I'm still gonna win not matter what boss team you pick."

"Ok then," Josh says enjoying the show of conference from his best friend, "Lets play."

Adam gets through the gameplay menu fast picking both a random stadium and random weather conditions. There is something about Josh's calm confidence that is still bothering Adam, he really does have no clue why his tall best friend has had such a change in personality. The game loads up and it's at the Camp Nou Barcelona's home ground where the game will be played and the weather settings has given them a foggy evening game. Adam kicks off with his team in blue and white stripes against the team in red and white stripes and almost instantly Josh's player races in and tackles the ball off him.

Quickly Adam can tell that Josh wasn't lying, he has been practicing and he's gotten good as Madrid's slick one touch passes spray the ball around the field leaving Adam's players chasing shadows. Even when Adam gets the ball back he almost instantly loses it and has to go back to chasing the clearly faster and better Atletico players. After the first 15 minutes Josh has already had three shots at goal all coming from Madrid's star striker Fernando Torres. Two flash just wide and the third forces a fine save out of Deportivo's keeper. Adam is being overwhelmed and finds himself trying to slow the play down to give him time to adjust to Josh's new skill level.

"Fuck you really have been training haven't you?" Adam says sounding impressed before gasping as Torres hits a curling shot from outside the area that whistles just over the bar.

"Told you," Josh says with a smirk, "Don't forget I owe you a nasty forfeit once I win."

A confident assured sounding Josh is starting to freak Adam out. He has always known that Josh was better than he thought he was and just lacked the self belief to bring that across. Now that he is leaving Adam worried and the threat of a nasty forfeit isn't helping the young blonde relax either. After 25 minutes Adam finally gets his team playing some football winning a corner then narrowly missing the goal the resulting header. Adam's biggest problem however is that not only aren't Deportivo as good as Atletico and their lone striker system isn't helping Adam get any momentum in the game.

Every time he plays the ball up to his striker he has to hold the ball up wait for support and that allows the faster Madrid players to surround him and win the ball back. Adam is starting to get more and more frustrated with his virtual team as passes are misplaced and none of them can seemingly tackle any Madrid player. Finally after losing the ball once again and allowing Torres to hit another shot which is thankfully right at his keeper Adam can't take it any more.

"Balls to this," Adam grumbles hitting pause, "I'm changing tactics."

Josh watches on in amusement as an annoyed Adam switches from Deportivo's defensive 4-5-1 and makes it an attacking 4-3-3. Adam instantly feels more confident playing with the same system he uses in Ultimate Team and with 37 minutes gone Deportivo playing much better and the game has become more even. Suddenly Adam wins the ball off Josh in the Atletico half and Luis Alberto is the Deportivo player who picks the ball up on the right hand side quickly cutting infield and getting into the penalty area. Adam shoots and the ball bounces up in the air looping over the top of the goalkeeper but unluckily for Adam the ball also loops over the crossbar landing harmlessly on the roof of the net.

"Oh unlucky," Josh says taking the chance to exhale, "I though you had me beat then."

Adam merely nods too focused to trade verbal blows with his best friend, Josh's training and Adam's lack of FIFA play recently means that they are about as similarly skilled at FIFA as they have ever been. Half time is fast approaching but there is still time left to get the opening goal of this strip FIFA match. Koke slides in for a tackle and wins the ball off the Deportivo right back, Adam wants to shout and claim foul but the Madrid captain is already racing down the wing. The cross comes in before Adam can do anything as Torres breaks to the near post and gets his head on the ball.

"Dammit so close," Josh groans as the Torres header bounces a foot wide of the post.

"This whole game has been close," Adam replies taking the goal kick just as the whistle goes for half time.

Both men use the small break in gameplay to take a drink, the nervous energy that comes with a strip FIFA game is starting to build up inside them.

"I reckon this will go to extra time and then a shoot out," Adam says suddenly breaking the silence.

"No way," Josh instantly responds, "There are goals in this game and I will be the one scoring them."

Adam can't help but laugh, A trash talking Josh is not the same Josh that has played the last few games of strip FIFA. The blonde still doesn't know if Josh is doing it to unnerve him or if he actually believes he can win. The game restarts and follows the same pattern as the first half, Josh's better players keep the ball while Adam tries to keep his defensive shape and look to win the ball then set up a counter attack.

The problem with Adam's strategy is that no matter how hard he tries to press the ball he just can't win it back off the more skillful Atletico players. Griezmann manages to get the ball on the edge of the area right in front of the Deportivo defence but his shot is weak and easily saved by Adam's keeper.

"You know what I'm starting to think you are right," Josh says as the match clock ticks down, "This match is going all the way to pens."

Adam nods but in the back of his mind he doesn't know if he can hold out for that long. 70 minutes of the match have gone and all Adam feels like he's been doing in the second half is defending in fact he can't even remember the last time he can possession of the ball in Josh's half of the pitch. Atletico slowly move the ball around once again eventually passing out to the left wing where Vietto uses his pace to beat two defenders then instead of crossing it he simply passes the ball into the area. Koke runs onto the pass taking one touch to set himself up before rifling a shot past the Deportivo keeper for the first goal.

"GET IN," Josh roars punching the air in delight.

Adam is disappointed but if he is honest with himself he knows the goal had been coming. There had been so much possession and pressure from Atletico that Adam knew he couldn't keep them out forever. A deep sigh comes from the blonde as he leans down grabbing the soles of his dark blue socks before peeling them off his feet.

"Hey that's cheating," Josh exclaims as Adam removes his socks only to be wearing another pair underneath them.

"What? I was wearing them cause it's getting cold outside," Adam says trying to defend himself, "I didn't know we would be playing strip FIFA today."

"It's still cheating," Josh replies, "You can't wear double socks to a strip FIFA game."

"I wasn't wearing double socks to cheat at strip FIFA," Adam answers back, "I was wearing double socks cause my feet get cold not because I'm trying to cheat."

Josh wants to argue more but the game has already restarted and Deportivo have the ball, "Fine keep your stupid socks on then cheater."

Adam laughs at how annoyed Josh sounds but for once Adam is telling the truth, he completely forgot he was wearing two pairs of socks until he started taking them off. It was almost worth it however just to see how worked up Josh got over it, Adam also wonders if that was a key blow in the mental battle. Josh's newly well trained skills at FIFA will suffer if he plays angry and to Adam's delight that is just what happens as Filipe Luis is booked for Atletico after a mistimed tackle.

Sensing the advantage has swung back to him Adam makes all three of his substitutions and looks to pile on the pressure to a frustrated and annoyed Josh. Now Adam is seeing more of the ball and forcing Josh to defend deep then when Adam tries to play a through ball behind Josh's centre back to his onrushing striker Josh panics and boots the ball out for a corner. Trying not to smirk or rub it in Adam lines up the corner and lifts it perfectly into the middle of the Atletico penalty area.

Rieva, Deportivo's centre back jumps up and meets the corner with a powerful header that forces the Atletico keeper to throw his body across goal to save it. He pushes the ball away with his gloves but much to Josh's horror the ball hits his defender in the back and rolls perfectly across a now unguarded goal where Cani for Deportivo has a simple tap it.

"YES GOAL," Adam shouts with delight but Josh is shaking his head.

Adam looks at the TV and groans as he sees the goal has been waved off for offside.

"No way I can't be offside," Adam moans, "It hit one of your players last."

Josh doesn't say anything instead choosing to wait for the replay which shows Cani just stepping past the last defender when Rieva heads the ball.

"Shit," Adam says punching his bed in frustration.

"Yeah that was unlucky," Josh sympathies, "I thought he was onside too."

There are now only 10 minutes left and Adam keeps pushing forward looking to get an equalizer as Josh hangs back looking to catch Deportivo on the break. Adam tries a long range thirty yard blaster but it flies harmlessly over the bar for a goal kick and now with the ball back Josh launches the goal kick up to the halfway line. Vietto picks the ball up and races away down the wing then before the Deportivo right back to can get to him the Madrid winger launches a deep cross into the area.

Torres jumps up for the header and knocks it backwards falling almost perfectly into the path of a onrushing Griezmann. Adam knows what is going happen before it does as one of the best strikers in Europe powerfully smashes the ball into the bottom left hand corner to give Atletico a 2 nil lead.

"Yes," Josh celebrates before turning quickly to Adam, "Those extra socks can't help you now."

Rolling his eyes Adam reaches down and peels off his small black socks leaving him barefoot. Adam is now running out of time to get back in the game as he tries to get the ball upfield but Josh's defence stands firm. In desperation Adam tries a long ball forward but Madrid easily cut it out and go straight on the counter attack. Koke races down the left with the ball as Adam desperately tries to get defenders back. to cover as Josh whips in a near post cross and it's Vietto who meets the ball with a diving header.

The Deportivo keeper stands firm pushing the header up and over the bar conceding the corner saving Adam another item of clothing. The game clock ticks down to the 89th minute as Josh swings in the corner but it is comfortably caught by the keeper. Thinking quickly Adam rolls the ball out of the keeper's hands and tries to break upfield. Neves is the furthest Porto player forward and he runs hard into the Atletico half collecting the ball just in front of an Atletico player.

Two defenders try and close him down but Adam knocks the ball in front of him and races through on goal. Adam outpaced the last defender and ignoring Josh's moan of despair tucks the ball underneath the keeper. He was almost ready to throw his controller down and give up on the whole match but now Adam finds himself only a goal down with the score now at 2 vs 1.

"Wish I'd thought to wear extra socks today," Josh complains pulling off his white athletic socks.

Both teenagers are now barefoot as the match goes into 3 minutes of added time. Josh kicks off and tries to play passing football in order to run the clock down while Adam's players race around trying to win a tackle. Adam finally makes a successful sliding tackle to win the ball but before he can launch an attack the final whistle goes.

"Shit," Adam says as the virtual Atletico players celebrate what turned out to be a hard fought victory.

"Yep practice makes perfect," Josh responds with a big grin on his face.

It's been a while since Josh actually won a strip FIFA match and he just takes a second to savior his victory. Adam is staring at the floor clearly deep in thought but Josh doesn't care.

"C'mon mate it's forfeit time," The tall winger proclaims still grinning.

"Is it really a nasty dare?" Adam asks as he slowly lifts his head.

Josh nods, "Oh yeah you will hate it but it will make me forget about those naked pictures and we can be even again."

Adam still feels slightly guilty for doing a forfeit that was something against his best friend's limits and a part of him almost feels Josh is justified in giving him a horrible forfeit.

"How about double or quits?" Adam offers suddenly.

"No fucking way," Josh replies, "I remember what happened last time."

"Fine erm how about best of three?" Adam offers again.

The blonde might have lost fair and square but the threat of a nasty forfeit has him clutching at straws. He might feel guilty about the naked pictures but he doesn't feel guilty enough to let Josh dare him something that even Josh thinks is nasty.

"Adam why when I won the match would I give you two more chances?" Josh asks curiously.

Pausing for a second Adam thinks hard wondering what he can offer to get Josh to agree to a rematch. Pressing the end match option Josh looks across and sees that his best friend is still thinking.

"Tell you what," Josh says breaking the silence, "If I win best of three then I get to do my forfeit three times."

Now Adam really is confused, what kind of forfeit can be done repeatedly?

"I dunno Josh I don't really wanna do any nasty dare once let alone three times," Adam says slowly.

"Well tough I won so either do the forfeit cause you lost or try and win two other matches and get out of doing it," Josh replies firmly.

Adam feels trapped, either option he takes doesn't sound good. He either takes one nasty dare or plays two more matches against a well trained FIFA 16 player and unless he can win both he will take 3 of the nasty unknown dare.

"Ok I'm in best of three games it is," Adam suddenly says deciding to take the risk that Josh can't beat him twice in one day.

"Brave choice," Josh replies grinning at the blonde.
