-you friends

-being like most other cliche fanfics

-decided to drag you to a club

-against your will

-which is bad as it is

-anyway

-you were wearing skinny jeans and some random t-shirt

-not wanting to put effort in when you didn't wanna go anyway

-but as most friends do

-in fanfics

-they ditched you to go dance

-so you were stuck chilling at the bar

-listening to the pounding of the music

-watching the bodies on the dance floor grind on each other

-of course you knew how to dance

-and were rather good at it too

-but you didn't really like showing people that you didn't know

-so you were not about to go out to the dance floor

-and show off what you have

-partially because you don't want to get involved in a dance battle

-and then you also didn't want random people touching you

-because you were not drunk

-and you'd like to keep it that way

-partially because you were in charge of taking care of your friends

-if you wanted to or not

-but we all know they'd drink till they couldn't even stand anymore

-so someone had to do it

-plus even if you didn't have to take care of your friends

-you had no interest in getting drunk

-because as stated earlier

-you might start dancing

-and end up in a situation you don't want to be in

-butttttt

-it was a club

-so that'd happen if you want it to or not

-and that's exactly what happened

-some person walked up to you

-obviously checking you out

-which you ignored at first because why add fuel to the fire

-but you took notice to them when they wrapped their arm around your shoulder

-you gave them a look of disgust and tried prying their arm off of you

-but sadly life doesn't always work like that

-and they stayed there

-trying pick up lines

-which failed

-trying to pull you close to them

-which you tried shoving them away again

-but they'd just move back

-and then they tried dragging you to the dance floor

-which is when you felt another arm wrap around you

-"Hey what's up? Sorry for ditching you earlier"

-you looked at them confused

-because you didn't know the man

-he seemed like he was pretty sober though

-and then he gave you a wink to hint at what he was doing

-in your head you went "ohhhhhh"

-because you had then realized he was trying to save your butt

-"It's fine, at least you came back, unlike our other friends."

-the conversation went on until the other person got off you and walked away

-which then caused you to let out a sigh of relief

-"I pretended to be your friend because you seemed pretty uncomfortable," he said

-"Thanks so much, you saved me."

-"No problem. Anyway even though we've been talking for a good while now, it's nice to meet you, I'm Jackson."

-"Nice to meet you too, and thanks for saving me. I'm (Y/N)."

-"Did you friends really leave you though?"

-"They all got drunk the moment we walked in. And then made their way to the dance floor, so yes I'm now alone."

-you then pointed out your friends

-"I guess that worked out because your friends are grinding on mine."

-the two of you laughed

-"So even if I wasn't uncomfortable, I would have met you one way or another?"

-"Probably. Anyway, not to be that guy, but can I get your number?"

-"Of course, you saved my butt, so I might as well take you out sometime. Is that fine? Plus my friends might want to meet yours again. And they're all probably too drunk to remember any of this."

-he laughs

-"I'll let you take me out, but I'm paying."

-you shake your head

-"I'm only going if you let me pay."

-"Fine. Can we go out again after that and let me treat you?"

-"Depends. I barely know you."

-"At least I'm nice enough to save you from some random person. So bonus points towards date-able factor?"

-you snort

-"Fine I guess. Nothing fancy though, or I might have to fight you."

-"Am I not able to take out a nice looking human? Can't say you aren't hot, but that's not the whole point of this. I'd like to get to know the person that I saved."

-"Am I supposed to be the damsel in distress falling for the handsome prince that saves her?"

-"Kind of, and is that your way of calling me handsome?"

-"Maybe."

-"Just be prepared for some really bad pickup lines."

-"Can't be any worse than the ones I heard tonight. So don't worry, it'll be fine. Plus I know you aren't doing this just to get into my pants."

-"True. Thanks for giving me a chance."

-"And thanks for saving me, it's the last I could do to pay you back."
