A/N: Hello all! Alright so here's the deal. I haven't really been posting too much lately because despite the fact that I've been writing, I just can't stay focused or motivated long enough to complete something. See, I have a lot of ideas and so I start writing them but because I don't like making you guys wait forever for my updates, I've been trying to finish stories and then post the chapters on a schedule so everyone's happy. Only that's not really working for me either and especially without the motivation from my lovely readers, I just can't finish anything. So then I had a burst of inspiration with this plot and I decided it might be good to try posting again without finishing. At least then I'll have something up and I can get some feedback on it while I go. So guys, I'm counting on the last few strangling MxM shippers to stick by me and leave reviews for motivation so I can get some more things posted for you guys to read! So yeah, I hope you enjoy this first chapter here and be sure to tell me what you think.

Who would've ever thunk I'd end up working in a place like this, huh? Yeah, definitely not me. I mean, its not like I wasn't short of options or money or anything, in all honesty, I've just been bored lately. Like, I woke up the other morning and went through my same old routine and just realized how fucking boring my life has become. How did I even let it get to that point?

Maybe with all the damn video games I play, it just provided enough entertainment for me to not realize I was doing shit all with my life. I haven't even gone out drag racing in months! That's how bad this is... And I certainly haven't entertained any erm... guests.. in my shitty ass apartment lately. I think its been like over a year since I've gotten laid! I just can't be bothered.

Once all these sad pathetic little facts seemed to come to light, I decided I needed to do something, more than I was doing. I did a little research and decided I'd found the perfect job, hopefully anyway. I doubted I'd stay there long but at least it was bound to be fun in the mean time, and I'll get paid and meet plenty of ass in the mean time.

It'd also been a while since I last moved. This, I realized, when I discovered how much fucking junk I've accumulated over god knows how long. Whatever, I needed a clean slate. Don't even ask how many garbage bags full of shit there was... I moved to Los Angeles, deciding I needed a completely new start, and this is where the club was located.

I walked in the double doors of The Dragon at seven PM. It definitely looked like a regular strip club. There were little round tables all around with three or four chairs at each. Straight ahead was the stage which at the far end, looked like an actual stage and then it split off into three catwalks with a stripper's pole at the end of each one. The floor was carpeted and nice dark burgundy and the whole place was dark. There were multicoloured lights up above the stage but they weren't on yet.

To the left of the stage, up on another little platform, was a technical setup, my guess is that it'd be where I'd be working as the DJ. On the left hand wall was the bar, currently empty as of now. On the right hand side of the club, there was the small restaurant part of the club. The place was still empty but I knew I was early. The owner had asked me to come at this time to get me started.

I walked to the back, through doors on the right hand side of the stage, and was met with a changing room, filled with walls of mirrors and racks of all sorts of outfits. It was interesting for sure.

"Ah, Matt." I heard a voice from the other side of the room. I paused and glanced over, meeting the sight of... my new boss? I suppose... He stood, slouched over and balanced on one foot, bare feet, by the way, wearing plain clothing, his black hair was a complete mess, and he looked like he hadn't slept in weeks.

"Hey there." I greeted back with a half smile. He returned the sentiment, I think, before he padded over to me and regarded me with a look an owl might have. He blinked slowly before he pulled back and shoved his hands in his pockets.

"I am L." He stated plainly and I gave him a look like he might just have two heads. "I am thrilled to have you joining our team, Matt. Please, let me show you around." He motioned behind himself and I followed obediently to the opposite end of room. Through another door, he showed me to the staff room and then to his office.

Another man was in his office, a much more proper looking male, this one brunette and not even a hair on him was out of place. "Hello, Matt." The man greeted and I returned it. "I'm Light. L and I own this club together." He smiled warmly at me and extended a hand for me to shake. I took it.

"I was just showing him around the place." L said, glancing over at Light before back at me. Light nodded in return.

"I'll leave you to it then." The brunette said. "Its nice to meet you, Matt. And we appreciate you joining our ranks." I thanked him before leaving the office with L.

As we made our way back to the main room, L set to work explaining the place to me. "This isn't exactly a regular strip club," he started. "Though it can be classified as one. We aren't here just for the sole purpose of making money, though it is a bonus, so this is a very relaxed club. We always have dancers performing, but they don't always strip, sometimes they simply get up to dance. Other times, if they're in the mood, they may very well get up and take everything off.

"See, there are really no obligations to working here and its more just for fun than anything else. Our other workers who aren't specifically dancers get up to perform sometimes as well. Even Light does on occasion." The man's lips twitched slightly at this, I noticed. It was a look of amusement, but there was a gleam in his eyes I couldn't place. "Even our customers will get up on the stage sometimes. Its all in good fun, is all."

By the time we were back in the main hall, there were other people already beginning to arrive. "Misa-Misa is sooo excited to perform tonight," one girl, a blonde in cute, skimpy clothes, was bounding up and down, talking off the ears of the other two people in the room.

L walked up to the three of them and suddenly my mind went spinning. One of the three people, looked near identical to L himself. It was creepy as fuck! "Everyone, I would like you to meet Matt." L said to them as I approached. "Matt, this is Misa, Beyond, and Naomi."

The man that looked like L, Beyond, had the same sort of black, wild hair and bags under his eyes and even the same slouch, though it wasn't as defined as L's. This man was wearing tight dark jeans, however, and a tight black shirt, and his face was a little different. His eyes, in contrast to L's black as coal, were a dark red, and his grin was feral. He gave me the heebie-jeebies. The other woman, Naomi, had long black hair and shining dark blue eyes. She wore a turtleneck shirt and a black leather jacket. She was beautiful, I had to admit.

"Nice to meet you, Matt!" Misa exclaimed, bounding up and down, her boobs bouncing along with the actions.

"Likewise." I gave her a simple smile. The other two greeted me as well before they began moving to the back.

"Don't mind her," another voice sounded from behind me and I spun around. I was met with yet another blonde, this one had long platinum hair and bright gold eyes and wore deep red lipstick. She stood a good few inches above me and the heels she was wearing only added to this. The suit shirt she wore had the top couple buttons undone, showing her bust. She was absolutely stunning, that's for sure.

"She gets far too overly excited, especially with new people around. I'm Halle, by the way." She grinned at me.

"Matt." I smiled back. "And I noticed," I chuckled a little. "Though she doesn't seem so bad." I shrugged and Halle shrugged as well.

"Not yet." She gave me a quick wink before turning around. "Welcome to the club, Red." She added over her shoulder and I smiled before turning back to L.

"This way now, please." He said, padding off towards the equipment next to the stage. "As our new DJ, you will need to know this gear inside and out." He stated, opening the laptop connected to everything and starting it up. "Your resume claimed you are very good with computers and electronics, correct?"

"Yeah, the best you'll ever know." I gave a proud grin and he smiled in return.

"Glad to hear it. I'll leave you be to get acquainted with the equipment. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask. There is a playlist already set up on the laptop for you, after tonight you will be in charge of putting the playlists together yourself. And any requests that are made to you can be played at anytime." The raven finished with that and I gave him a reassuring smile.

"Got it." He nodded and turned to take his leave. I started up the rest of the equipment and began fiddling around with everything, getting to know how this stuff worked and then commencing a few sound tests.

...

The club was absolutely booming by this time. I honestly didn't think it would be this packed, especially after L had told me how its such a casual club. I met a few more of the other employees, the ones working tonight. Gevanni was the other dancer for tonight, but L was right when he said anyone could get up on the stage. There were all sorts of people performing, it was fascinating.

I had met the chef for the restaurant part, Rester, and the waiter, Matsuda. I also met the other bartender. Along with Halle, there was another blonde. Mello was his name. So far he was a snarky little bitch that just kept messing with the DJ shit and fiddling with the lights. Otherwise, everyone so far seemed to be pretty awesome.

I watched, absolutely intrigued as the dancers moved their bodies perfectly in time with the music. At the moment, Misa had my eyes. She was twirling around the pole, dead center, moving like she was fucking fluid and it was gorgeous. She'd also taken to actually stripping and all that was left was her bright pink bra, and a lacy little skirt with the showing of a thong underneath.

She danced away as Body Bounce by Kardinal Offishall blasted through my speakers and all through the club. And she certainly did make her body bounce. She was moving up and down the pole and shaking parts of her like she was born to. She was fucking hot, and that was an understatement.

The song unfortunately soon ended and I was snapped back to my senses - literally - when someone flicked me in the ear. I glanced up, glaring at the blonde who'd decided to make his presence known. He leaned down to speak in my ear, obviously because the music was too damn loud to be heard otherwise!

"I brought you a drink, I thought you could use it to cool off." I could hear the smirk in his voice before he even pulled back and I could see it for sure. I blushed a little against my will but kept my features schooled.

I took the drink from him when he handed it to me and then I crooked my finger at him for him to lean back down. He did so, turning his head to the side so I could speak in his ear and be heard. "Thanks. And what can I say? I have a thing for blondes." I purred and I heard him scoff slightly. When he pulled away, glaring at me, I gave him a wink and he just rolled his eyes and wandered back to the bar. I wore a grin for the next little while.

Working here would definitely be fun.
