Music pulsed through the club as Nino danced on the stage his body firmly pressed against the woman who had dragged him up. Her skin smelt of spiced apples, vodka, and body sweat from dancing. It wasn’t completely nice, more so when her body continuously rubbed her lower half against his. The English music buzzed through his veins as he listened to the English lyrics that came through the speakers close to where they were.

Seven days of Saturday Is all that I need, got no use for Sunday 'cause I don't rest in peace Don't need no Mondays Or the rest of the week I spend a lot of time in bed But baby I don't like to sleep no…

“Want a drink?” The girl asked with her lips against his ear, her voice was low and husky with an almost purr, obviously hoping for a lot more than a dance and Nino almost laughed wondering what she would think if she knew that she was barking up the wrong tree. Most of his friends were around him enjoying the music and the alcohol, none of them really caring that they had to be up in the morning for college.

“Yeah sure…Come on…” Nino agreed making sure his voice carried over the sound of the speakers sad that he was going to have to leave the floor while his song was on but his disappointment was softened when he looked through the crowds of near underage youths to the bar and the man that was propping it up. His expression was completely unreadable from this distance but just the sight of him was enough to cause his heart to race a little and his body to have a lot of the reactions the girl he had been dancing with had tried to give him.

Matsumoto Jun, was a complete and utter nerd…Thin to the point where it wasn’t attractive with spots decorating his forehead and chin and thick milk bottle like glasses on his nose but Nino had had a crush on him since his second day at their college and he had ever heard him talking to their mutual friend about an elephant, a budgie, and a digeridoo. Nino doubted that he could ever be happier than when Jun finally asked him to play dungeons and dragons with him and their group of friends. Of course Jun had no idea of the feelings that he caused within him and Nino was almost thankful for that not knowing how he would react if Jun rejected him or, much worse, actually agreed to date him.
“Having fun?” He asked his hand brushing down Jun’s back when they reached the bar and the man’s entire face screwed up as he swallowed down the drink that he had been drinking.

“I should be at home studying…I have that mock exam next week!” He whined and Nino rolled his eyes sitting himself down onto the stool knowing that there was little point trying to get a hold of one of the bar tenders for a while at least.

“Shut up and let me have some of your drink?” Nino said already reaching out for the glass that was only half full. Condensation still clung to the glass but there were also the tell-tale marks of grease that came from the copious amounts of spot removal cream Jun used in a failed attempt to try and remove the spots from around his face. Jun gave him a smile motioning for him to drink. An irritated huff from his side reminded him that he had an unwanted plus one and a frown very nearly formed on his lips but he pushed it aside to form a smile asking “Want some?”

“Cheap ass!” The girl snapped stalking away with a flounce of her hips and Nino shrugged turning back to Jun and flashing another smile happy when Jun smiled back.
