A little oneshot of Lonny and Dennis (There aren't enough of these in the world) told from Sherrie's POV. Implied Slash. Set after the Z-Guyeez show (Did I spell that right?) but before the Arsenal and Von Colt concert.
Enjoy!
Drew and I got our old jobs at the Bourbon back. Stacee got back together with Arsenal and is pretty eager to go on tour with Von Colt, surprisingly. Until then, it's back to being a barmaid.
Still, at least Dennis was nice enough to actually give us our old jobs back, but he's been in a pretty good mood lately. And it doesn't take a genius to see why. Take last night for example.
Drew and I showed up for work at the usual time. Apart from Lonny and Dennis, we were the first workers there since I hate being late. When we got there Lonny was sitting cross-legged on top of the bar, whispering something into Dennis' ear that had them laughing their heads off.
For the rest of the night, every time they walked past each other, they held hands for a split second before walking on. When Lonny was at the bar, Dennis talked to him for ages and didn't notice when I told him there'd been a mishap with the beer delivery. He noticed hours later and asked me why I didn't say anything.
At ten thirty, Lonny gets an hour long break. Most workers go to the Record shop down the street or go home to get a change of clothes. Some workers even go to the Venus Club where I used to dance, But not Lonny. Lonny's never left the Bourbon on his break. At ten thirty on the dot, Lonny went over to Dennis and said something, I'm not sure what, and they both retreated to the office. Lonny never gets back from his break on time.
At around twelve, when the club was slowly winding down, Lonny and Dennis got a lot more affectionate. It's almost like they forgot everyone could see them. Too much drink probably. It's Dennis who started it, funnily enough. He leaned against the bar and kissed Lonny whenever he walked past and Dennis was sure nobody was watching. They're never discreet, although they like to think they are. By now, everyone's guessed about they're relationship.
At two AM, the club closed and Lonny and Dennis headed back up to the office. Dennis is determined never to get behind on taxes again.
By four AM, Drew and I clocked off and headed up to the office to say goodbye. We had the same conversation we've had with Dennis every night at the Bourbon since I started working here.
"Bye Dennis. Don't stay up too late ok?"
Dennis smiled.
"Yeah. I should probably get this one home anyway." He motioned to Lonny, who was asleep on the couch with half a gummy worm in his hand.
Lonny has always been one of those rare people who can sleep (or maybe pass out, I can never be sure) just about anywhere. When I first started working at the Bourbon, I found him backstage, where the music was so loud I had to cover my ears, snoring his head off.
"Poor Lonny." I said.
Dennis rolled his eyes.
"Yeah. Doing nothing all night must be exhausting." He said with a grin.
So there you have it. I don't know how, and I don't know when, but at some point after Drew and I left the Bourbon, Lonny and Dennis got together. Of course, I think it's fantastic. Lonny's done wonders for Dennis' mood, plus everyone agrees it's a match made in heaven.
