At the club

HEY!! So this is a romantic fluffy oneshot. (No plot twist because do you know how hard it is to write a romance one, let alone a romance WITH a plot twist one?)
ANYGAYS, tell me if you guys want more of something like this or more of the STABBY STABBY fashion with pseudo-plot twists. OR BOTH. Or neither.

HAVE FUN

The club's lights were flashing. Pop music blasted through the huge speakers, causing what seemed like to be a small earthquake as the beat pumped up and down vigorously.
Will scanned the faces of people on the dance floor, their faces illuminated by hues of purple, blue, red and pink.

Will had been a customer here for once or twice, and even though the club was huge and glamorous,  Will had felt suffocated by the writhing bodies around him.

Retreating to the bar where the people were generally quieter, each trying to drown their own sorrows in shots of liquor, Will took a seat on one of the high chairs.

He rapped his knuckles on the counter gently to signal for the bartender and took out his phone, first noting the time, then pulling out his text thread with Kayla.

WILL
9:11 pm
Im here where are you?

KAYLA
9:13 pm
Waiting for Austin. Be there in 10

Will groaned dramatically which didn't look too much out of place in a gay bar such as this one.

He looked up to see the bartender standing in front of him, dark hair falling over his eyes and gorgeous lips Will wanted to touch with his face.

A tag on his shirt read "Nico" in perfect cursive letters.

He coughed, turning red before propping himself up with his arm and leaning on it, trying to retain some of the dignity he had lost.

The man looked amused as he watched on, "And what would you like today handsome?"

"You" Will blurted out absentmindedly. "UHM- Youurrr favorite drink."

Nico cocked an annoyingly handsome eyebrow at him, and said "Sure."

Will watched with interest as Nico's fingers flew over the varied drinks and mixed them expertly.

At one point, Nico flipped the bottle mixer thingy into the air and caught it without even looking at it. Will could swear he was just showing off at this point but he didn't mind.

He took a moment to admire the more minute details while Nico made his mystery drink, such as the ring on his middle finger shaped like a skull or the kohl expertly applied just above his eyes.

"Done," Nico said, sliding the drink in front of Will with a wink, propping his elbows up onto the counter to watch Will's reaction.

The drink was an alarming shade of red and a ring of salt around the rim, completed with a small umbrella sticking up from the ice.

"This is what you usually drink huh?" Will asked, "didn't take you for an umbrella kinda guy."

  Nico grinned, running his fingers over Will's hand on the counter. "I'm not, but you looked like you were though."

He pulled his hand away from Will's and nudged the drink, "why don't you just try it."

Will's synapses were still firing from the small contact and he irrationally wished for Nico's warmth yet again.

Instead, he drew the drink to his lips, watching as Nico stalked his every move.

The liquid burned as it went down and it left a bitter aftertaste, like the peel of a lime.

Nico was watching him anticipatingly, and Will forced out a grin.

"Tastes good." He said, weakly. Holding up a thumbs up as if trying to convince Nico even more.

Nico studied his expression and chuckled, a low thing which Will wanted to bottle up forever.

"You hate it don't you?"

"Nooooooooo" Will said convincingly.

It was not convincing at all and they both knew it.

Nico rolled his eyes. "I can finish that for you then."

And then he reached out for the glass and brought it to his lips in the exact same place Wills' once were.

It felt strangely intimate somehow. That small gesture which caused fireworks to go off inside Will's stomach.

"I'm Will. You could- I mean- if you want to, maybe you want to grab a drink with me? Later?"

Nico looked at him from over the rim of the glass. Silent.

Will paled and immediately panicked.

"I MEAN- you don't have to go with me or anything. That was stupid. Sorry. Just... ignore it. UHM, how much is it?"

Nico placed the glass down gently, "the drink? Don't worry about it, it's on the house and-"

But he never got to finish because Kayla had decided that it was a good time to walk in with Austin trailing behind her like a lost little puppy.

"WILL!!" She shouted from across the room, her green hair bouncing.

Will turned, his face still hot.

"I'm here" he called back, swiveling back to Nico for an apology for making it awkward.

Nico was still frozen in spot, gazing at him with bright chocolate eyes.

"I would love to." He breathed, his words barely audible.

Will's heart skipped a beat, it felt as if the clouds had parted, letting in rays of sunlight after months of stormy weather.

"Yeah?" He asked. Then immediately regretted it since it made him sound like a sixteen year old cliche in a young adult book.

But Nico took it in stride.

"Yeah." He agreed, and his grin was blinding.


HEY GUYS, tell me if you want a sequel to this, and if yes, I will certainly try to make it entertaining. Thanks for all the reads and comments, they all genuinely really make my day.

ALSO, mad thanks to Astha, who is my biggest inspiration. I love you dude.
