Note: I literally spent hours listening to cast interviews and rewatching episodes to get these characters down. Plus, I basically researched the 1950's as a whole, even though in this chapter, Sobek is wearing Brendon Urie's clothes from "But It's Better If You Do". So I need a special hashtag or something, just gimme like a lil' #ResearchHelps… Man, I'm tired. I'm bringing back a lot XD. Also, Music used is "Dirty Diana" by Michael Jackson. Shoving the future back to the past.

Sobek combed back his hair with his claws at first, ditching the actual comb for the sharpness of his own. Looking at the mirror as he tried to get the look perfect, canines showing as he bit at his lip. Fixing his vest and his shirt, trying to prepare for the performance.

"Sobek!" The sudden shrill voice struck him hard as he whipped around, tail accidentally hitting his friend, Kenneth. Causing the teen's eyes to go wide as he went over to the other, moving to grab the other's arm.

"God! Kenneth, I am so sorry! But what've I told ya about just bursting in here like that?" Sobek says, helping the guy up from the carpeted floor. Getting a grin out of the other boy as he stood, fixing his leather jacket and looking down at Sobek with that shit-eating smirk.

"Y'know, you tell me not to do it… Which makes me want ta do it more." Sobek frowned, punching the other in the arm. Asshole.

"Ha ha, very funny. Now what do you want? I'm getting ready." The smaller male says, crossing his arms as his tail swished gently behind him, claws extending and retracting as his gold eyes glared at Kenneth's gray ones. While Kenneth just shook his head a bit, moving to his own part of the dressing room. Stripping off his leather jacket and throwing on his own vest without a shirt, grabbing his guitar from off the chair.

"Well, Ms. Bast told me to get ya. We're on in five, Kitty." Kenneth explains, grabbing a pair of fake-claw gloves and those stupid uniform cat ears. Looking back to Sobek as the other teen scoffed.

"Alright, sounds good to me. How many people are out there anyway?" Sobek asked, looking down at his jet black silky, furred legs. Not that he minded the attention, but people just staring at his hind legs and his paws, had a tendency of making him a bit… anxious. Looking back to the door of the room, hearing idle chatter and loud voices.

Kenneth shrugged, looking into the mirror as he picked at his teeth some. "The whole town I think, plus that freak-," "Unique." "-Unique show brought in all their performers. So Ms. Bast is lucky she owns the largest parlor in town, or she couldn't 'ave seated this many people."

Sobek nodded with a grin, though he had to question where his ma was at, at the moment at least? Opening up the door, he looked around the hall, heading over to his mother's dressing room, which was blocked by curtains hung like in the theater box. Gold eyes meeting similar golden ones, smiling as he saw his Ma.

"Ai, I'm about to go on. Just wanted to come in cause-." "Now, sweetiepie. Ya know you ain't gotta explain to me why you come in, baby. It's nice to see your handsome face around here." She interrupts him, standing from the soft cushions of the love seat she had been lying on. Gently grasping his face in her hands, kissing the teen's forehead with a chuckle when he growled.

"Mama, I told ya not to call me that!"

Bast just chuckled once more at her little boy, so impulsive like herself. Yet he had the gaze of his father, and sometimes, that worried her a bit too much for comfort. Her curly, dark brown locks bounced a bit as she pulled away from him with a smile.

"Now, go on and get on the stage with Kenneth and the band. Mama has to go take care of… business, before her performance." Sobek nodded, before waving to his mother on the way out. Tail swishing behind him, before he reminds his mom of one thing before going out on stage.

"Just don't leave the body on the carpets too long! Ellie had to scrub at the bloody floors for hours last time!"

Dandy walked into the cafe, his mother holding him close to her side. Augh, when will the woman ever let him do something on his own. It's as though she plans to keep him forever. Looking around the beautiful parlor, there was so much to be explored, despite his mother's intents.

With curtains and a wide stage, smack-dab in the middle. In all it's glory, it looked like a stage for only the finest actors, actresses, and overall performers! And Dandy thought it was absolutely stunning!

While to the left, it was tiled floors and bright red stool seats, surrounding the bar. Booths for the drinks and food, and all the confectionaries one may want. While the right side of the stage held carpet floors of luxury, and more velvet curtains to spare. Leading to a fine lounging area and an area in which, what Dandy could only assume, was for more of the… well, sensual matters.

The actor wannabe smiled widely, and a dark look came over the male without him knowing. Night-life was so exciting, how could he go bored with all of this?

Dandy allowed his gaze to shift from side to side, seeing as the stage was almost set up for a performance. The band were all dressed like cats in fancy bar wear. Fake ears and clawed gloves, it was quite the interesting style. One could almost say-.

"Dandy, darling, don't stare. Staring isn't civil. Just as this entire hodgepodge, it just isn't a place for people of our charm." Gloria says, and Dandy's grin turned to a frown as he looked to her with narrowed eyes.

"Mother, I like it here. And I'd prefer if you didn't treat it like it was a place for a monster. This is a place for a star." Dandy says wistfully, looking up to the beautiful lights that decorated the entire parlor.

With that, he wrenched his arm away from his mother's. Wanting to look for someone less boring… someone like… like Jimmy!

In fact, the rich boy smiled greatly once he saw a familiar pair of mitts. His favorite freak sitting in the lounge area of the parlor, sitting in a large velvet booth that was in front of the stage. So Dandy slowly made his way over there, trying to get the brunette's attention. Who wouldn't want to look at a god after all?

But Dandy's attitude towards it all soon changed as he saw a woman across from dear Jimmy, and she wasn't supposed to be there.

"Jimmy, I've been looking everywhere for you!" Dandy let's out, with an overly wide smile as he hears the piano start to strum out a tune. Watching as Jimmy and his prey turn to look at him, and the girl frowned while Jimmy grinned.

"Ai! If it ain't the next upcoming actor! Whaddaya need, Dollface?"

Dandy refused to blush at Jimmy's sweet talk, instead he pouted like he always would. Tight-lipped as he moved to slide in next to Jimmy in the booth, leaving no room between them.

"Why, I'm here to spend time with you, sweetie." Dandy whispered only loud enough for him, Jimmy, and the girl to hear. Watching as Jimmy turned to him with a look of surprise and confusion, which only made Dandy grin more. He doesn't know why, but he plays further into this performance. To Dandy, this was all too entertaining.

Leaning against Jimmy and slowly bringing his hands to the other's chest. "C'mon honey, I know how you get without your cognac. But,I like it better when you're tipsy." Using the tone that his mother would, that's what flirting sounded like, right?

Jimmy made a startled face, looking to Dandy before quickly turning back to the girl. Waving his mitted hands at her in distress, though his motions were hindered by Dandy basically lying against him.

"Awe, Sweetheart c'mon! It ain't like tha-."

"Augh! I didn't know you were a damn fruit! Go lay around with your pretty boy, queer!" She says with frustration, stomping off to a different part of the lounge area. While Dandy just grinned, happy that his little act had gone his way. He'd make a fine actor.

Except, it didn't go well with Jimmy exactly.

The lobster boy turned to him with a scowl, pushing Dandy back a bit to put some space between them. The power behind the shove made Dandy wonder if Jimmy does more than just sweep.

"What the hell?! What'd ya have to go outta your way to do that for?!" He growls out, causing the smaller to chuckle.

"Simply because she couldn't love you. I was saving you from disappointment." Dandy explains, brushing himself off with a proud posture. Though internally, every instinct in his body was to fully show what was his. This freak was his, simple as that.

Jimmy nearly snarled, clear anger pulsing through his veins. But instead of bursting like Dandy thought he would, like Dandy wanted him to. The larger scooted back over against his own form.

"Ya know what? I don't even like cognac, and I said we didn't have to meet till tomorrow. So move outta my way. Imma go drink somewhere else." The lobster boy orders with a slight frown, and Dandy rolled his eyes. Couldn't his pet be fun? And just do what he wanted?

Then suddenly, as though his wish came true, Jimmy changed. And it shocked Dandy to his core.

Jimmy was now grinning softly, eyes half-lidded. It was as though the lobster boy had taken his entire personality, and shoved it into a trash can. Now before Dandy, sat a flirtatious figure he didn't know the other had.

"C'mon, Dandy. If ya move, we can ditch this place and do something… better." Jimmy offered, husky voice getting the strongest blush Dandy ever had out of him. What the hell was he doing!? This was his joke, not the other way around!

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Jimmy grinned a bit wider at the bright red color that had come out of the smaller. Just the reaction he had wanted.

Look, if Dandy was gonna play him, then he sure as hell was gonna play the other back. Moving closer and sneaking his arm around the other's waist, leaning in as Dandy always did. Teasing the rich heir to want more. To get as desperate as Jimmy had for a reaction, to the point

"C'mon! We could have a blast, baby." He whispers, nudging Dandy a bit more as he gently pulled the smaller closer. Heat growing, and on his own cheeks as well. Something he didn't understand, but wasn't willing to stop.

But Dandy didn't work by Jimmy's rules either. Instead, he roughly shoved the other's chest and backed out of the booth.

"I'm not a damn fruit! AUGH! It's like everyone takes the act too seriously! I hate you, I hate you, I hate you!" Dandy complains out of the tantrum he was starting, arms poised behind his back in emphasis as he nearly shouts. Jimmy frowned at this, moving to get out of the booth and stand head-to-head with the other. Since when did they let brats in places like this?

"Well this is your fault-!" "My fault!" "Yes! You're fault! If ya hadn't of gone and scared off my date-!" "Well, if you had simply-!"

"YO! PRETTY BOY AND RICH KID! SHUT IT!" A shout from the stage called out.

Causing Jimmy and Dandy to look from where they were standing. Which was unusually close to each other. Seeing Sobek standing upon the stage, but he didn't have his crutches?... Or any trousers on for that matter. Jimmy saw the younger's legs, and the paws and claws, and holy hell he had a tail. Be man, he was just like them.

"Sobek?" Jimmy questioned, looking at the other with raised brows. Getting a roll of the other's eyes. "In the flesh, stupid. Now sit down with your sweetheart and quit interrupting the show. It's bad for business." Unbelieveable! Growling a bit to himself, he moved to sit back in the booth, and to his surprise, Dandy joined him.

They didn't look at each other for a bit, listening closely as the music started. A guitar revving up before Jimmy looked up to the stage, a blue light focused entirely on Sobek and a couple other band members. *Music Start Peeps*

"You'll never make me stay, so take your weight off of me. I know your every move, so won't you just let me be." The music got louder, and Jimmy watched as Sobek moved. Gracefully crossing the stage like a panther, tail swiftly moving behind him. Feet moving along to the beat.

"I've been here times before, but I was too blind to see." The brunette turned towards Dandy, seeing as the other was already looking at him. One could see that the smaller was pouting, and the lobster boy could only guess it was from the other not getting what he wanted. But, he could… maybe…

"That you seduce every man, but this time, you won't seduce me." This was wrong. They weren't fruit, at least Jimmy wasn't to his knowledge. Why did things go this way? It was pointless for things to happen in such a matter. But Dandy only scooted closer.

"She's saying that's okay, hey baby do what you please." No, he couldn't. "I have the stuff that you want, I have the thing that you need."

"Dandy, we ain't fruits. Come on, us dudes gotta dig that." Jimmy says, leaning back against the booth to put some space in between them. Though Dandy didn't seem content with this, moving closer for reasons even the god did not understand. Hands finding their favorite place on Jimmy's chest. "So? You're the only thing that doesn't bore me."

"She looked me deep in the eyes, she's touching me so to start!" Closer. Farther. He couldn't tell what he wanted. But that certainly didn't stop Dandy, who only moved in even closer, hands searching for more despite Jimmy's want for it to stop. "She says there's no turning back! She trapped me in her arms!"

"Come on. You're my freak…"

No. "Dirty Diana! No!" Jimmy took the other's wrists into his mitted hands, and moved them out of his way. "Dirty Diana! No!" Making a path for him to get out of the booth, not giving a damn about what the other wanted. "Dirty Diana! No!" Sliding out as best he could, despite the angry face that Dandy now had present. "Where are you going?"

Jimmy swivelled his body back and stood tall and proud, gazes falling upon him as he spoke.

"Don't call me that… Don't call anyone that! We aren't freaks! WE'RE PEOPLE! Just as much as anyone else in this joint!"

Jimmy nearly shouted as anger racked his body, slamming his fist against the booth table. Dandy glaring at the brunette, as much as Jimmy was glaring at the rich boy. The music pounding and getting the town worked up around them as people stood to dance. Jimmy hardly had time to move out of the way when Dandy pushed him back, the rich boy standing from the booth as well.

"She likes the boys in the band, she knows when they come to town. Every musician's fan, after the curtain comes down." The music was getting louder, and urging him to…

"She waits at backstage doors, for those who have prestige. Who promise fortune and fame, a life so carefree." There was a hard pounding in his head, and a push in his gut. Whether it be the alcohol or the adrenaline, he didn't know or care. They were people! And he was sick of people calling the anything other than just that!

As the darker-haired male moved to leave, Jimmy grabbed Dandy by the waist, shoving him against a wall to their left as men and women stood to dance and swarm the open floors.

"You don't get to call us that. I sure as hell won't let you."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"She's saying that's okay!" The music was louder, the crowd was wild. And Dandy was utterly turned on. It had to be because of Jimmy's anger, not because of Jimmy. The anger radiating off of the larger male made Dandy keen, arms going to the lobster boy's neck. "Hey baby do what you want!"

"You can't control me." Dandy whispers. He could choke Jimmy… choke him right now, and make him suffer for the heat that was threatening to burn him… "I'll be your night-loving thing! I'll be the freak you can taunt!"

But… He didn't want to. "I don't care what you say! I wanna go too far!" He only wanted Jimmy closer… Close enough to burn him alive. Tugging the other closer, mitted hands firmly holding his waist back against the wall. Dandy could feel the burning grow as he pulled Jimmy flush against him

"I'll be your everything! If you make me a star!" Roughly and messily, Dandy pressed his soft lips to Jimmy's firm mouth. Letting out a whimper into those lips when he felt the hands on his waist tighten, bodies shifting to thrust against each other. Leaving no space in between the two forms, nothing left but want and desire. The soft but firm lips moved against his in tandem, so passionate and intense that it left Dandy lusting for more.

But then Jimmy was gone… the hands on his waist were gone… the lips on his were gone… All there was… was music… "Dirty Diana! No! Dirty Diaaannnaaa!"

Note: BAM! The relationship has started! More mystery has been added! Sobek's father will be revealed next chpater! Dandy/Jimmy to the max next chapter! Kenneth is a dick! Bast is mysteriously murderous! WOO!
