Matt was having a pretty decent night so far. His first date was really sweet and handsome. He didn't even laugh when he found out that he wasn't sure of his sexuality. In fact, he seemed really concerned about the well being of both him and Jeff. His next date was pretty good too. His name was Ken. He had one of the prettiest smiles and his eyes smiled right along with him. They'd got caught up talking about sports and before he knew it their time was up. Matt had already made up his mind to leave both Ken and Hunter his number. He wasn't sure which one he liked best yet but even if he didn't fall in love with either one at least they were cool new people to hang out with.

Matt took a seat in front of date number 3. "Hi." His date barely acknowledged his presence. In fact, he wasn't sure his date was even alive. He was totally sitting still, his black trench coat hiding everything about him except the fact that he had long, dark hair. His eyes were closed and his arms were folded across his chest. Matt felt a little uncomfortable but he knew better than to place judgment just yet. For all he knew his date was just shy. "Er…alright. So um…my name's Matt and uh…you look really intimidating in all that black but I guess it's your way of warding off bad dates right?" Matt waited for him to reply but his date still remained eerily quiet.

Alright. Maybe I'll try something else… "Um…if you've been having a bad night then I'm sorry. I hope I'm not contributing to it. And if I'm talking too much then I'm sorry. It's just not in my nature not to at least try. If you don't want to talk to me then I understand. I'm probably not your type anyway." Matt sighed then laid his head down wondering if Hunter or Jeff was having any luck. He should have known he wouldn't be able to get through the night without having at least one bad experience. I should just go home and take Jeffy with me. It was a stupid idea to come here tonight.

"You're the first guy that's attempted to talk with me tonight."

Startled, Matt raised his head meeting the most dazzling set of piercing green eyes he'd ever seen. The man flashed him a warm smile; a smile that seemed to warm Matt despite his nervousness. "Oh…well…um…"

"I'm sorry for making you feel nervous kid. It's just that this isn't really my kind of scene," he chuckled. "So many freaks around here. I'm surprised a cutie like you and that Shawn guy are still hanging around."

Matt almost didn't know how to respond. He was still stuck on the whole "cutie" thing. He managed a weak smile then started fidgeting with his necklace. "I've had an okay night so far. I'm just hoping my brother has had the same kind of luck."

"Oh. You're here with your brother?"

Matt nodded. "Yeah. I kind of dragged him here."

The guy in the trench coat laughed. "I see. Guess your brother and me have something in common. I was dragged here as well. I don't know why the hell I let him talk me into this but then if you were to meet him, you'd understand why it's hard to say no to him. Anything to shut him up!"

Matt looked up and smiled. "Ahh well I won't lie. My brother flat out refused at first. But I compromised with him and offered to come along if he promised to at least try and find someone he liked but…" Matt's voice trailed off, his face showing signs of guilt.

Mark frowned. "You okay Matt?"

"Huh?" He looked up, shaking his head. "Yeah I'm fine. Just hoping I did the right thing."

"As long as your intentions were good, I'd say you have nothing to feel bad about."

"Thanks. I feel a little better about it now."

"Don't mention it. Besides I have a brother too so I know how it goes."

"Is he here tonight?"

Mark laughed. "Naa…Glen wouldn't be caught dead in a place like this. It's not my thing either but I'm starting to think it wasn't such a bad idea after all." He smiled warmly at Matt making him blush. "You're real cute kid. The other cutie I met earlier was afraid of me."

"Oh…well…"

"Do I scare you?"

Matt shook his head. "No. I'm just a little nervous that's all."

"Oh good. So…does that mean you'd be willing to go out with me again?" Matt blinked a few times, startled. He was taken completely off guard by this but he wasn't about to say no. The man was actually really sweet and while Matt was also taken with another one of his dates, he was willing to take a risk with this guy if only to even the score with Jeff.

Matt smiled. "I'd like that."

The gong sounded. "Wow. That was perfect timing. Just so you know, I don't like to beat around the bush so expect a call from me real soon cutie."

Matt blushed but managed to smile back. "I look forward to it. Well um…guess I'm going to wait outside for Jeff." He flashed the guy one more smile before heading off to wait for his brother.

~*~*~

Randy wasn't looking for your typical pretty boy. In fact, he was only looking for someone he could possibly grow to love who wouldn't be too much trouble. Randy immediately spotted a guy named Shawn sitting at the table with Vince. He was very handsome but Randy figured he would be too much trouble. No one that good looking ever came easy. Then there was another pretty blonde with long hair but he seemed to hit it off with the guy that Shawn came with so Randy ruled him out too. There was another purple haired kid who was really sexy but he was too young for Randy. That's pretty much how the night went for him. He had thought long and hard about leaving early since it seemed completely hopeless but an interesting looking guy took a seat in front of him and he could not resist.

Randy was sure he was a lot older than him but he looked to be in great shape. He was dressed in some black slacks and a sea blue silk top that was very eye catching. He was also nervous as hell, his eyes refusing to look Randy's way which only amused him. Randy loved it when people feared him even though he himself was completely harmless…most of the time anyway. It was just the way he carried himself and he wasn't going to change anytime soon.

Randy smiled. Since his date seemed too shy to speak, Randy was going to make him. "Aren't you going to speak Mike? It would be rude not to don't you think?"

Mike looked up, his face flushing from embarrassment. He smiled though Randy could tell it was horribly forced. "I'm sorry. Forgive me. I'm Mike...Mike Adamle." He stuck out his hand for Randy to shake and Randy just stared at it. After a few awkward seconds, Mike withdrew his hand only to have Randy snatch it back making him even more uncomfortable.

"I'm sorry Mike," Randy teased. "I just had to think about it for a second." He took Mike's hand bringing it to his lips. "I don't like shaking hands." He kissed the back of Mike's hand staring him down with his trademark seductive look. Mike was shaking so badly that Randy feared he would have a heart attack soon. He chuckled softly as he held Mike's hand taking note of how pretty his eyes were. They were like a rare sparkling gray that had Randy captivated. His eyes wandered from his gray orbs to his dark hair that looked so silky smooth. Randy suddenly found himself wondering what it would be like to run his fingers through it. Yep. Mike was just the guy he was looking for tonight. He smiled. "Why so quiet Mikey? Do I not meet your expectations?"

He smiled weakly. "I…really didn't have any expectations to be honest," he answered softly.

"And why not?" Randy asked.

He shrugged. "Just didn't think I'd meet anyone remotely interested in a guy like me."

"And why not?" he asked again.

"I don't know. Guess it's cause I'm so much older than most people here."

"Well how do you know there's not a guy here looking for someone older?"

"I…guess I don't."

Randy smirked before bringing Mike's hand to his lips again. "Well now you do." Mike's face turned a deep shade of red and he looked as if he wanted to just die. Randy just laughed. "I promise you I don't bite…wait. Scratch that. I do bite; just not in public."

"That's….good to know," he managed.

Randy laughed. "How about I prove it to you?" Randy asked. The longer he watched sweet, innocent looking Mike the more turned on he became. Mike looked a bit hesitant but Randy wasn't about to let up. He'd made up his mind that Mike was the one he wanted and he was going to have him tonight…in more ways than one.

"Well…I don't…know. Are you sure…?"

Randy smirked. "Let's get out of here and go on a real date. Maybe grab a bite to eat and go for a walk. How does that sound?"

"Well…if you're sure—

"My treat," he added, flashing his signature smile; a smile that most rarely got to experience. Randy stood to his feet bringing Mike with him. Mike still looked unsure but Randy gave him a reassuring smile as he led him out of the club.

*~*~*

Jeff stood outside the club waiting for his brother. Thanks to him, he had a pretty shitty night. No one wanted him because he was too young and the one guy who Jeff thought was okay, turned out to be some club owner looking for new dancers. Jeff stared at the number on the card. He'd never imagined himself dancing in some club outside of a rave one but the more he thought of Eric's offer, the better it sounded. Jeff wanted a motorbike and the only way he was going to get it was by making some serious cash. He also wanted to do something nice for his brother Matt who's been taking care of him all his life. Jeff knew he worried Matt to death but he didn't understand how hard it could be for him sometimes.

"Hey Jeffie!" Jeff looked up smiling at the sight of his brother. Matt's face was lit up, his eyes smiling along with his mouth. Guess he hit it off with someone… Matt ran up to his brother giving him a hug. "Thanks for trying this out Jeff. I'm sorry if it was a waste of time for you."

"It's alright Matty. Judging by the smile on your face, I'd say it did you more good than me," he teased.

Matt blushed. "I…met someone. He's not someone you'd think I'd date but he was nice to me and…I can't explain it but I think I really want to get to know him."

"That's alright bro. I'm happy for you. I think I found someone too though I think he's going to be a challenge."

Matt frowned. "He's not a creep is he?"

"No, I don't think so. Just seems like a guy concerned about good business but even business people need love too right?"

"Yeah," he grinned. "I s'pose you're right. Well I'm beat. Let's get out of here."

AN: Okay. So I think those are all the dates except one, which will turn up later on. Everyone has a potential life partner (rofl) at the moment so next chapter will pick back up with my beloved Shawn. The other couples will appear throughout the fic because eventually they all will meet and come to know one another through various circumstances. Some will even be spotlighted at times because I'm going to fix it where they will all have to meet…eventually. Ex: Double dates, ect. ect.

I seriously have a desire to write yet another Bret/Shawn OST but its not happening. I refuse but guess what? H2H will be updated soon thanks to a reader who's been sending me tons of funny things to inspire me. (You know who you are.) Hope you enjoyed it. I know it was shorter than usual but I had to work and I can barely keep my eyes open.
