This is a new story that I have been working on. I hope everyone likes it. The song throughout this chapter is Falling Inside the Black by Skillet. I hope you like and please review. Thank you.
Tonight I'm so alone
This sorrow takes a hold
Don't leave me here so cold
Never want to be so cold
From the sidewalk outside the bar he could hear the song playing. The music grew louder each time the door opened and someone left. A drunk guy fumbling with his keys walked passed him, almost running right into him if he had not looked up in time. Laughing, the guy turned and headed across the street. He just watched the guy as he made it to a car, after a few failed attempts at unlocking the door, he finally pulled it open and slid into the driver's seat. He knew he probably should have done something. Wrote down the license number and called the police maybe, but he didn't. He didn't have to because a second later another man bolted from the bar and ran to the car, pushing and yelling at the drunk one before he was able to get him out of the car and stuff him into the back seat.
Your touch used to be so kind
Your touch used to give me life
I've waited all this time,
I've wasted so much time
Finally stealing his gaze away, he looked back at the bar door which had swung closed once again. He knew he should not go in, but what was he really going to lose? It was his birthday, he was legally able to drink. Sure, it could kill him, but he was in a feign city with no family or friends to stop him and he really wanted a drink. Looking at the time on his phone, it was just a little after midnight. He had literally turned 21 just a few minutes ago, but he didn't feel any older. After stuffing his phone back into his back pocket and taking a few quick deep breaths, he grabbed the door handle and yanked it open.
Don't leave me alone
Cause I barely see at all
Don't leave me alone
He was instantly hit with the smell of alcohol, sweat and puke. Not the best smell, but that was not going to stop him from getting his drink. Taking a few steps inside, he found the place was packed full of men dancing around to the loud rock music. He recognized the song as a Skillet song, but he didn't know which one because he was more occupied with looked around at everything.
I'm falling in the black
Slipping through the cracks
Falling to the depths can I ever go back
The bar was just off to the right and there were only two stools open. All the tables were filled with man talking and making out and even fighting. The dance floor looked more like a mosh-pit at a concert then a dance floor. Laughing to himself, he made his way through the crowd around the door to the bar. A few times, he was really sure a man grabbed at his ass, but he was too busy trying to get to the bar, he didn't really care. Once he made it to the bar, he sat down at the stool at the very end, a little away from everyone else. The bartender walked up, a rag in one hand and a glass in the other.
Dreaming of the way it used to be
Can you hear me
Falling in the black
Slipping through the cracks
Falling to the depths can I ever go back
Falling inside the black
Falling inside falling inside the black
"Vodka on the rocks." he yelled over the noise.
The bartender looked at him and he knew the guy was trying to determine if he was really old enough to be there or not, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he went about getting his drink. After setting it in front of him he stalked off, seeing a group trying to flag him down from the other end of the bar. Looking down at the vodka, he ran his finger around the rim of the glass before picking it up and downing the whole thing. After taking an ice cube into his mouth to suck on it, he sat the glass back down and turned his stool around to watch the dancing.
You were my source of strength
I've traded everything
That I love for this one thing
Stranded in the offering
He looked back at the bar when the bartender returned with another glass of vodka for him. He didn't remember ordering, but then the bartender answered his unspoken question, "From the gentleman." and he pointed towards an auburn haired man sitting at the other end of the bar, who wasn't even looking at him. He just nodded at the bartender before taking the glass and downing that one as well. He sat the glass down and turned back towards the bar with his stool so he could have a better look at the man who had bought him a drink.
Don't leave me here like this
Can't hear me scream from the abyss
And now I wish for you my desire
Don't leave me alone 'cause I barely see at all
Don't leave me alone
He was hot, he would give him that. His hair slightly curled and even from across the whole bar, he could tell the older gentleman had piercing blue eyes. The guy had on blue scrubs, so he was a doctor. Finding that he was staring and the guy was looking at him as well, he quickly looked away, shyly. Finally, he spun on the stool and hopped off, making his way onto the dance floor. He was there and the music was good, why not have some fun?
I'm falling in the black
Slipping through the cracks
Falling to the depths can I ever go back
Dreaming of the way it use to be
Can you hear me?
He was not much of a dancer but he was able to move with everyone else, even finding someone that turned to him to dance. It was a little uncomfortable at first with the dance floor so cramped. There was barely any room to move unless you moved with the group around you. But he soon started to relax and closed his eyes. He could feel everyone around him and everything seemed to be find until he felt someone wrap their arm around his waist and pull him flush against their body. He jumped and pulled away, turning to see some random guy, moving closer to him. He took a step back, feeling uncomfortable again. He stumbled a little, but was able to keep his balance. The guy took another step forward but before he could move, a hand slipped into his and pulled him off the dance floor and back to the bar.
Falling in the black
Slipping through the cracks
Falling to the depths can I ever go back
Falling inside the black
Falling inside, falling inside the black, black, black, black
He looked at the guy who had just saved him and smiled, "Thanks."
The doctor smiled back before they both took a seat at the bar again. The older man ordered another beer for himself and another vodka for him. After the bartender walked away, the doctor turned back to him. "You've never been to a gay bar before, have you?"
"No. Where I'm from we're not really crawling with gay men." he stuck out his hand, "I'm Luke."
The doctor shook his hand, "Reid."
Falling in the black
Slipping through the cracks
Falling in the black
Slipping through the cracks
Falling to the depths can I ever go back
Dreaming of the way it use to be
Can you hear me?
Luke smiled as Reid pulled his hand away and looked at his beer. Luke downed his vodka against, taking another ice cube into his mouth. He was already feeling a buzz and knew that he should probably stop now. He finished chewing on the ice cube before pulling another one from the glass and placing it onto his lips. He didn't acknowledge what he was doing until he found Reid watching him like a predator. He then popped the ice cube into his mouth and smiled again. And then Reid had leaned in and was kissing him. Luke moaned into the kiss, his mouth opening and allowing Reid's tongue to slip inside. Reid's tongue was lapping up the water in his mouth and when he finally pulled away, he had the rest of Luke's ice cube between his teeth. He smiled before chewing the rest and swallowing.
Falling in the black
Slipping through the cracks
Falling to the depths can I ever go back
Calling inside the black
Can you hear me?
"Wow." Luke had a dopey smile plastered on his face.
Another four drinks for him and another three beers for Reid and they were leaving the bar, stopping as they walked every ten feet to push each other against a wall, kissing and grinding against each other. Before Luke realized it, they were back in his hotel room and tearing each others clothes off. Before his mind could catch up to his body, he was naked and his back hit the mattress. Reid was also naked and now covering his body with his own, kissing him once again.
Falling inside the black
Can you hear me?
Falling inside the black
Can you hear me?
Luke knew he probably should not be doing this, having a one night stand, but was the harm? It wasn't like he was cheating on someone back home. He didn't have anyone back home anymore. He had broken up with Noah fucking Mayer because the guy had married someone else. Married a woman for Pete's sake. How Noah thought Luke was going to stand by him was just insane. So, that is how he had found himself in Dallas just two months later, having a one night stand with a guy probably ten years older then him, or more.
Falling inside
Falling inside
Falling inside
Falling inside the black
Yeah, he had never had sex before but he wanted this and he knew that if he said anything, Reid was going to leave and that was not something that he wanted. He was surprised to find that his body moved on it's own accord once Reid had entered him after fishing a condom from his wallet and preparing Luke. Something he was not use to, but found that he liked, a lot.
No words were spoken as they fucked and once they both hit their orgasm, Reid collapsed on top of him as they caught their breath. One minute he was breathing in Luke's ear and the next he was in the bathroom, returning with a warm washcloth to clean them both up. He had already discarded the full condom into the trash. Luke then watched him slip back into his boxers.
"It's late and you're drunk, you can stay if you want." Luke mumbled as he slipped back into his own boxers after fishing around on the floor for them.
Reid didn't say anything, he just nodded and climbed back into the bed. Luke was already laying back down, covering himself with the sheet. Reid slipped under the cover as well. Luke didn't really know what to say or do so he laid, facing away from Reid. And that was when he felt Reid's arm drape over his body and pull him closer. He wanted to laugh but instead he just settled in and closed his eyes, letting sleep take him.
