He was at a party. Why the hell was he at a party?! Surrounded of people, noises and smells. He didn't even know anybody in that damn place. Well, he actually know some people by sight because they shared classes, but he didn't speak with them. What was he thinking when he thought it was a good idea? Oh, of course. It wasn't a what but a who. He was suddenly interested in new ways of socialization when he heard that certain person would be there. At least, he wasn't wrong with that. He already had seen him walking between the people, accompanied with his friends. And, as always, he just watched him from afar. Trying to be invisible. Good thing was that, at least, the place was huge. It was a big house with two floors and dozens of rooms, where was easy to be unnoticed.

Well, since he was already there, he should at least try to have fun. He started to move through the wave of people, in search of something to do. Maybe, if luck was with him, he could even talk with…

Oh. There he was. Sitting on the couch of the living room, laughing with his two friends about who knows what. He got close to them to hear the conversation, taking care of keep himself out of sight. It wasn't really hard for him, because he had years of experience after all.

"This night seems very animated" said a young man with short blonde hair and blue eyes.

"It's true, I see more people than usually. It must be because the year is just starting" answered another blonde, with long hair this time.

"This is the best time! We're starting the year and we don't have any worries" added the third man, who had green hair and big muscles.

"You never have worries, Orga" the second guy teased him and the blonde laughed, while the other one looked at them with an annoyed face "Now that I remember… I have an idea"

"What kind of idea?"

"Since our friend Sting has a reputation to keep this year, let's make a bet"

"A bet?"

"Yes, you know… Things happened and I found out that there would be someone new at this party. One of these people that you never see at this kind of event.

"And how it is related to me?"

"Well, I thought that he would be a good challenge for your ladies man reputation" What was he listening?

" Oh? What is he like?" asked the blonde after a short pause.

"He's about your height, more or less, black hair, he studies something with computers" WHAT!?

"I don't remember seeing someone like that"

"He's not a person that you notice. Also, I have no memory of him at one of these parties" They were talking about him!? Making bets ABOUT HIM!?

"Do you want me to accept without knowing who is him? What if he's hideous?

"Bah, he's not that bad. Also, that makes it more interesting, right?"

"I don't trust you at all, Lohr. But I guess I can stand it, whatever it is"

"So, we have a bet?" said the other one, with a smirk.

"Of course! I never reject a dare!"

He wasn't supposed to be that way! Why he always ended interested on idiots? He seemed nice from a distance. Of course, everyone seemed nice from a distance. It was the first time that he heard him saying more than two words and he already discovered all that he needed to know. He was so upset that he didn't notice when he moved away from them. He ended near the table where was placed all the alcohol that the host had considered necessary to provide to his guests.

He took one the glasses that was there and, without even looking at it, drank it all. For once, he didn't mind the burning sensation running down his throat. Why was he so upset, after all? Yes, of course, it wasn't pleasant to be the aim of a bet, but it wasn't that great. Was he going to get drunk until he forgets? That wasn't something he would do. Bah. He should just leave by now. In the end, he wasn't enjoying the party nor relaxing. With a sigh, he left the cup on its place and turned around to get out of there. He shouldn't have come. Not for a reason so stupid. Not for someone so worthless.

" Hey, are you leaving early? The party is just starting!" His way to the exit was then blocked by the very same person that was on his mind. With his characteristic smile. So, he had already found him…

"I've lost the interest" he answered, trying to avoid him to reach the exit.

"Really? So, let me make it interesting for you again"

Rogue hesitated. I didn't want to get involved with that bet. But, on the other hand… Did it really matter? He always could say that he had been drunk. And he also could… Oh. Of course. Why he never thought of it before?

"Ok"

Probably the alcohol that he drank before had something to do, as well as his annoyance. He doubted that he would have followed his game under any other circumstances. They moved away from the table, to avoid being disturbed. They spoke about trite things for a lot of time and Rogue discovered himself enjoying the conversation. It was a shame that he had already decided that the blonde was an idiot. Otherwise, maybe he would have even liked him.

He wasn't sure how it happened, but somehow they ended up kissing in the middle of a corridor. He had a bitter taste on his tongue. He almost forgot his master plan at some point. Almost. By the time they arrived to one of the bedroom of the second floor, his pride was the only thing stopping him of losing his mind while he locked the door.

And... that. I've never written something like this before. I'm so, so ashamed... I'll update it some day (probably 2 or 3 days after I update the spanish one). Also, I kept the spanish title because it's a hint.

As always, if you find any error please let me know.

Cya!
