Today was a big day according to the rest of the world. Keith didn't think it was a big deal turning 21. It was just another number. His friends refused to let him stay home and told him they were planning something good for him. Keith wasn't sure what that meant but he trusted his friends knew him well enough.
"Hey! You up!" Keith heard a voice call from out his window. He grumbled but walked over to the window and gazed down. His eyes met eyes with his friend Shiro's. Shiro was tall, muscular, and damn hot. Everything Keith had wanted in a guy but sadly Shiro was as straight as they came. That didn't stop him from becoming his best friend. The sun had just started to set and they had told Keith to rest up during the day since it would be a long night.
"Yeah. How can I sleep with you wailing out my window?" Keith snorted down at him after opening the window. Shiro just grinned and held up a bag.
"This is for tonight. You ready?" Keith rolled his eyes and motioned Shiro to just come inside so they didn't have to yell 2 stories at each other. Keith met Shiro downstairs and looked curiously at the bag.
"What's in the bag?" He asked curiously and the smile on Shiro's face made him regret it.
"Oh, you'll see. You ready for tonight?" He said wiggling his eyebrows. Keith rolled his eyes and grabbed the bag from his hand. He peeked inside and reached in pulling out stacks of dollar bills, his eyes wide with disbelief.
"Shiro?! Are you a drug dealer?!" Shiro just laughed and slapped his back playfully.
"No one buys drugs with ones dude. That's for tonight. You have to tip them somehow" Keith looked into the bag then back at Shiro confused. Shiro sighed with a small shake of his head.
"This is what happens when you stay inside every day. You have no idea what's out there. You will soon find out. Matt and Hunk are on their way so go get ready." Keith sat the bag down with one more suspicious look at Shiro before heading upstairs to his room. Keith slipped into some jeans and a t-shirt before hearing a sound behind him. Shiro was leaned against the door shaking his head a bit.
"You'll want to wear something more...breathable dude." He said. Keith looked down at his skinny jeans and chewed his lip in frustration.
"Can you just tell me where we are going?" He huffed before digging through his drawer and instead pulling out a pair of joggers.
"Those will be perfect!" Shiro grinned and left Keith to change. Shiro made his way down the stairs and heard a light tap on the door and opened it revealing Matt and Hunk.
"There you guys are!" Shiro brought em both into one of those manly arm hugs before letting them in.
"Keith will be down shortly." The three men sat on the couch waiting for the birthday boy. Matt was the one to break the silence.
"He has no idea where we are going does he?" He asked looking over at Shiro who looked too smug.
"Nope. No idea. That's why it's so great. He is going to flip."
"A boner maybe" Hunk said earning a burst of laughter from the other two.
"What's so funny?" A grumpy Keith asked coming down the stairs. The laughter died down and they stood up going over to Keith.
"Happy birthday!" Hunk said pulling him into a bear hug. Keith tapped his shoulder unable to breath.
"Sorry." Hunk sat him down quickly with a small smile.
"You ready?" Matt asked with a smirk and Keith sighed not understanding what was so secretive between them.
"Am I missing something?" Keith asked looking between them. They all just shook their heads quickly. Shiro started doling out stacks to everyone giving Keith a couple more.
"Don't lose those now, kid." Shiro smiled and the other two were out the door followed by Shiro and Keith.
"I'm not a kid anymore" Keith grumbled before walking out and locking his house up. Man this was going to suck. They all piled into Matt's car and they were off on their way.
"So, can I know where we are going now?" Keith asked watching out the window trying to guess himself but came up blank.
"It's a strip club." Hunk said excitedly. Keith just gaped at them his cheeks reddening a bit.
"W-what?" He squeaked already embarrassed but the other three just laughed. They all knew Keith's preferences and even Matt was gay but he had never imagined they would take him to a strip club. What had he gotten himself into?
"You guys can't be serious.." He trailed off feeling dumb for not realizing it after the stacks of cash.
"It'll be fun Keith. It's a mix are people for everyone there so just relax and have some fun for once in your life." Shiro said earning a sigh from Kith. He was nervous but kind of excited. He hadn't been out in a while and if he was with his friends it should be fun? Right? Keith complained the whole way but the three wouldn't let him chicken out.
"Dude, you have been on this Earth for 21 years and you haven't had one night out. It's time to grow a pair, have some fine, take a cute boy home. It's time to be an adult." Matt said pulling into a packed parking lot. The music was heard from the parking lot and Keith could almost feel the vibrating bass. He felt queasy. Sure he'd had fun and he'd had sex too. He's lived but his friends didn't count a high school boyfriend living. Keith took a deep breath and stepped out o the car trying to control his racing heart. There was no way he could go in there. Too many men, half naked men. He'd die from lack of blood in his brain. He jumped when Shiro laid a hand on his shoulder.
"Here. Take these. They'll help." Shiro held his hand out with 3 little colored pills in his palm.
"Are those..safe?" Keith asked never having done drugs before. Hunk just grinned lopsided having already taken some apparently.
"Dude..they're great" He said nodding slowly. Keith just shook his head.
"I'll be fine without them. Thanks though." Shiro smiled and popped them into his own mouth. Drugs weren't something he would peer pressure him in to. Once the boys were ready they made their way to the line in front of the building. Hunk was gone and already shaking his hips to the music and Matt joined him and the two danced like idiots as they moved up in line.
"ID's." A tall burly man said gruffly. Keith dug through his pants a little intimidated by his appearance and demeanor. The four handed in their ID's and with a nod they were allowed to enter. Keith was getting more excited the closer they had gotten to the doors and as soon as they entered Kith was hit with a wave and his senses were immediately overwhelmed. The music was deafening, the lights made him dizzy, it smelled like a mix of smoke and chemicals, and it was very crowded. Shiro lightly grabbed his arm and lead him through the throngs of people. Keith was too distracted of everyone around him to notice Shiro was leading him to the front stage. Keith stumbled after him and his attention turned to a side room that had a deep red light glowing inside.
"You're not ready to go in there yet." Shiro said and continued leading him to the large stage in front of the room. Four chairs were reserved and they each sat down. Keith couldn't stop looking everywhere. There was just too much going on.
"This place is.."
"Amazing!" It was Matt that exclaimed interrupting Keith. He had met eyes with a guy who came up pulling Matt from his chair and the two melted onto the dance floor. Keith shifted nervously hoping no one would look his way. Shiro chuckled beside him and patted his knee.
"Don't worry. Your gift will be up there." Shiro motioned to the stage. Keith looked at Shiro about to ask a question when the lights dimmed and a man came on stage. The lights rose and Keith couldn't understand how someone could be so attractive. The man had muscles for days and was only wearing short camo shorts and suspenders. Damn. He'd do anything to just touch his abs.
"Hey hey hey!" The man said getting everyone's attention as everyone crowded around for the show.
"I hear we have a birthday?" The man called and the room exploded in cheers causing Keith to shrink down a bit. He hated being the center of attention. Shiro pointed over at Keith and the man jumped off the stage. He came up to Keith and held out his hand.
"Come on kid. " Keith looked around panicked and Shiro gently pushed him up. The crowd cheered again as Keith stepped onto the stage. Keith had to cover his eyes a bit against the bright stage lights.
"This chair is yours tonight." The man said and Keith sat down on the chair in the middle his whole body pulsing due to nerves.
"Let's make tonight one to remember yeah?" The man called earning another roar from the crowd. Even Shiro was whooping and hollering now. The host guy saluted Keith and hopped off stage and he lights went down again. Everyone else seemed to know what was about to happen and Keith had only a second to try and figure out what that was before the lights came up and the music blared again and in a split second he was surrounded by 5 majorly hot guys and all of them barely in anything and already Keith was feeling weak.
Keith was unable to tear his eyes away as the men dance around him grinding on the floor, each other. Anything to get a cheer from the audience. As much as Keith loved muscles his attention had been captivated by one dancer in particular. Long, slender, amazing legs with the hint of abs on his toned abdomen and the best damn ass in only a very short pair of gold shorts which made his mocha skin just glow. He was gorgeous and damn could he move. Kith was almost disappointed when the boys stopped with the music and the crowd was cheering loudly. The man from before came back on stage waving his arms getting the crowd even more riled up.
"How was that?" He called getting a loud approval.
"Now then," He turned towards Keith. "Now that you've had a peek which do you want for the night?" Keith was shocked by the question and just stared at the host confused.
"What?" Everyone seemed to laugh and Keith blushed in embarrassment.
"Seems maybe someone got a little distracted" The man winked before coming and crouching next to Keith.
"Pick one. They'll be yours for the night." Keith wasn't quite sure what that meant and he was about to point out the guy in rainbow shorts but the tan boy looked over at him with a crooked smile and one look into his twinkling blue eyes had him pointing straight at the boy in the gold shorts.
