Note: The excerpt is from Cherry Lips, a song by Garbage. Not mine at all. It will be better if you listen to the song first, help with the imagination I reckoned. Hehehe….
Warning: I'm not a fashionable person, dunno what's hot and what's not. So, here I am, hopefully describe something of a cool kinda guy. Please R&R.
Part 1: Cherry Lips
Sunday Night: Kainan High School Gym.
It's Kainan Halloween Ball and Maki could have swear he was about to fall asleep. It's not that he didn't enjoy himself, it's just, in his personal opinion, the party lacked the spirit needed to make it alive. Lots of Kainan students just mingled around, none take any initiative dance on, making the dancefloor empty as result. Although they did dressed up in various outfits, some were pretty impressive, while others... I'm suppose to be a Shohoku student... what kind of costume is that??????? At least nobody dress up as Sakuragi with red-hair dye. Maki cringed at that thought.
Anyway, he just couldn't care less about what kind of costume everyone had. It's just a Halloween Ball, something that is not part of Japanese culture, but the management in Kainan High School reckoned it will be fun to have one. Just to show that us Japanese can let our hair down too! Maki reminiscence of the previous conversation he had with his teacher. Then, he saw Jin and Kiyota, his teammates from the basketball team, filling up their glasses with the sweet red punch.
"Guys...careful with the punch. Not too much. We have a game this Friday."
"But captain! It's our chance to let our hair down!" Kiyota, with his long hair down, stressed. He was dressed as a vampire, with pointed teeth, dark purple cape and fake blood trailing on his chin.
"It's true captain! And it's only a practise game against Shohoku." Jin poked in. Jin dressed up as a pirate, complete with an eye-band and fake parrot attached to his torn shirt. Maki didn't like Jin's tone, a game is a game, doesn't matter what kind of game. For him, only victory is good enough.
"Jin.." Kiyota started to say.
"What?"
"You scare me. You look like that rookie Rukawa from Shohoku when he was injured in IH. You know...when he got to wear one eye bandage. ha ha! That pirate rookie. "
"I am NOT!" Jin protested, taking off his eye bandage so he can glare at Kiyota with full effect.
"Well...ha ha! Yea, I mean, no, I mean...whatever. ha ha!" Nobody wants to mess up with the Kainan three-pointer specialist, especially NOT from his teammates. "And captain, who are you suppose to be?"
"A member of a SWAT team." Maki said, confirming the previous assumption when they saw the captain don a blue overall, black cap that printed SWAT and black boot.
"Cool! You will protect us innocent Kainan students who only wanna have FUN!"
"Yea..." Maki had to agree. "And I have a gun to do so." He pointed the water-pistol at Kiyota and mockingly pressed the trigger.
"You cannot kill the undead!"
But his words were cut short when the whole gym fall into a hush. Everyone turned their direction to the main door. There, stood a tall, confident, almost cocky man, who looked like he rather be anywhere on Earth than here. He swept the gym with his eyes and started to walk in. He looked like he doesn't belong in this world, he looked like somebody from Ann Rice's Vampire gothic world, strange and weird, full of mysteries and dangers.
Ravishing.
He walked towards the Kainan trio, slowly, yet, with a sexy confident. His hair was combed to the back, giving a good view of his face. One can also see a strand of purple and blue in his hair. He had a make-up on. His long thick eyelashes were enhanced with a black eyeliner. A dragon was dangling from his left ears. His pouty, lucious lips was refined with dark purple colour. What is he? A Devil in disguised?
You could make grown men gasp when you go walking past
Even a man like Maki. It looked as if the Devil himself had graced them with his presence, and everyone wants a piece of him. They can only murmured, and gaped at that man, for his look alone demanded attention. And they found themselves fallen with every grace he took. It was too late to get out now. They were captives in this man's land.
In your hot pants and high heels
That tight, black, glittering leather pants, perfectly hung on his hips, tight maroon shirt, revealing every contour of his muscle. His five-inches black boot, fit nicely into his feet. He looked seductively innocent. Not a boy, but not yet a man.
They could not believe that such a body was for real
Who could? Long legs that seems never-ending, small waist that just wanted to be hold, muscles that demanded to be explore, with pearly white skin that beg to be touch, long neck that needed the attention, buttock that wanted to be pinch, the shoulder that's just commanded a kiss, or two. It's an epitome of a perfect man.
It seemed like rainbows would appear
Somebody switched on the dance lights. Fusion of colours, green, blue, red, yellow appeared on the dance floor, giving the Devil the spotlight he didn't need.
Whenever you came here the clouds would disappear
It seems he was the one that banished the darkness away, and brought the colours in. The life of the party is here.
Because you look just like a girl
A girl who every other guy in the gym want to take home with. And a girl who every other girl wants to go home with.
Your baby blues would flash and suddenly a spell was cast
He looked at Maki. Maki found himself drowned into the deep blue eyes. The blue eyes that hide his dark intention. The blue eyes that can bend a straight man. The blue eyes that can cast a passionate spell. And Maki knew he lost. Lost in the dark blue eyes. Lost in his dangerous soul. Lost even before he started to play this game.
But somehow...deep down, he was glad he lost. This is one man he didn't mind loosing to. And he felt his heart beat faster every second the man walked nearer to him. It seems like the whole world was forgotten. Gone are the music, the fancy lights, the other people... it was only him and this man exist in this moment of time. He's coming towards me!
"Wanna dance?" he asked in perfect English.
Maki can only nodded.
What a dance it turned out to be.
Go baby go go
He moved gracefully… seductively.
We're right behind ya
He threw away Maki's cap, and ran his fingers through his thick brown hair.
Go baby go go
And his fingers trailed Maki's backbone, penetrating even the thick cloth.
Yea, we're lookin' in ya.
And his blue eyes never leaves Maki's even for one second.
Go baby go go
And the fingers trailed Maki's neck, dancing with the tune.
Aw we're lookin' in ya
And he slyly winked at Maki.
Go baby Go baby…
He moved his hips around, like a snake quietly prepared with a deadly attack.
Yea, we're right behind ya
And the shoulder moved like a graceful feline.
Go baby Go baby…
And the hand roamed all over Maki's body.
Yeah we're lookin at ya
And the head swayed to the music.
Go baby Go baby…
He moved forward, closer and closer to Maki, until they can hear each other's breath. Leaning in for a kiss…
But he stopped. Instead, he put his index finger on Maki's mouth, and smiled…
Aw we're right behind ya
And shook his head while miming with Ms Mason's words. He leaned towards Maki's left ear...
Go baby Go baby…
And whispered the words to his ear
Yeah we're lookin at ya
Jin and Kiyota could only watch. Without a blink.
