Hold
#64 out of 64. (LJ community 64damnprompts)

I am walking away from Kenyako for this one. I think it seems suitable. The theme is hold. This is a Yamaken with a jealous reference to Yamachi.


The only thing Ken could make sense of was the grip of Matt's hand as he pulled him through the crowd. Ken almost lost that grip several times, almost getting pulled into a mosh pit at one point. Everyone was yelling (Matt said they were singing) and thrashing about. Some people were pushing into each other and running into one another. It was a mess. It was hot and humid and he was pretty sure he would not be able to hear in the morning. He's also pretty sure that someone just grabbed his ass.

But it made Matt happy.

And, well, Ken was a tad bit jealous.

Matt usually went with Tai to a concert. Tai was more into beating other people up to the beat of hard rock than Ken would ever be. Tai was the perfect partner to bring to this dingy little club that already broke several code violations, all violations that Ken noticed as soon as he entered. (Yeah, he was looking for an emergency exit.) Matt loved the heat, the feeling of rocking out with other people who shared that same passion as he did. He didn't care that someone was being thrown onto him every five minutes or his heart was beating at a terribly faster rate.

Ken wanted to share that with Matt. He wanted to be that close to him, even if that meant that he had to be uncomfortable for a night.

Fucking jealousy, Ken thought bitterly.

Matt stopped dragging Ken when they were close enough to the stage for his satisfaction. The lead singer was currently on top of a speaker, his pants around his ankles and singing on how he never noticed how someone was so amazing and how their beauty was fading. Matt smiled back at Ken before throwing his hands up into the air. Another song was starting, and it was something Ken recognized as Matt's favorite.

Matt grabbed onto Ken's forearm and pulled Ken in front of him. Ken didn't understand why, but when Matt's arms wrapped around his waist, he got the idea.


The band I used as an example was MSI. I saw them a couple of days ago, and it was flipping wild. Little Jimmy took off his pants on top of a speaker and jumped down from it, still with his pants around his ankles. That's skills ... The song referenced was Straight to Video, which is also good.
