Lock paused at the door. He knew that after a short free fall he
would land in a green field dotted with roses and other peculiar
smelling flowers. He knew that in the distance, the large red
brick buildings would loom over him like giants and, above all, he
knew he would be attacked my angel maidens wondering if his tail
was real and if he was single. These were the events of his last
visit to Valentines Land, why would this time be any different?
Lock knew that Barrel had endured the same suffering as he during
the last visit as well though he didn't seem to mind as much as
the devil. Shock on the other hand, was thoroughly disgusted at
the passes she received from the towns inhabitants and frequently
shot them her world famous "Touch me and Die" smiles. She seemed
to be especially hostile towards the females that paid so much
attention to Barrel and Lock, but explained that it was because
she didn't trust those "Crusty, underdressed, flying STD's." as
she had so delicately put it.
"What's the holdup? Last time I checked you still turned the handle to open a door." Barrel remarked tapping his foot impatiently. Lock threw a glance over his shoulder and yanked the door open before stepping inside and disappearing. Shock followed suit and finally, when he was sure no one was watching, Barrel slipped into the doorway and pulled it shut.
After the expected free fall, Lock did land, although not very gracefully, on the thick, dark green grass of the field. He hadn't had time to get up before Shock came tumbling down on top of him.
(A/N - as if I would have it any other way ;)
Lock instinctively wrapped his tail around himself and Shock and rolled out of the way. Shock gripped his shoulders and cast him a furious look.
"What the hell are you doing!?"
"Just watch!" Lock retorted holding her wrists so she couldn't punch him. Moments later Barrel came crashing down and landed hard in the spot where Lock and Shock had just been. Lock pushed the witch off him roughly.
"See, I just didn't want to be on the bottom of the pile when thunder thighs over there rained down upon the land." Shock brushed dirt off her pants and lowered her eyes.
"Oh." Barrel did not look impressed.
"Shut your face, Lock. This is pure muscle!" He lifted the front of his black sweater, exposing his muscular stomach and abs.
"Yeah, yeah, He-Man, nobody cares." Lock retorted lifting his own sweater and showing off his firm, flat stomach. Shock blushed furiously at the sight of Lock's bare skin and turned away before the others could notice.
"Well if you two are done your macho-man pissing contest, we have a job to do."
"Yeah, yeah." The boys muttered together quietly. The three turned around in a full circle. It was almost pitch black outside save for the beautiful silver light the moon cast upon everything. They weren't expecting it to be nighttime here too, though were glad for it. There seemed to be less people and they could cover more ground in the dark. Barrel squinted towards the direction of town. The buildings in the distance were illuminated by neon signs and pink and white spotlights.
"Where is everyone?" He asked.
"Shh, listen!" Lock hissed. Loud music was floating up from one of the lager buildings in town. "I guess we should go check it out. Someone has to be playing all that music, right?"
"Stay together, though. We've never seen this place at night and who knows what kinds of freak shows are out tonight." Shock instructed edging closer to Lock. Silently, the three made their way into the center of town and up to town hall. ************* (A/N - this next part can only be enjoyed to its full extent when The Red Hot Chili Peppers "Love Roller-coaster" is playing in the background. Try it out and see what I mean.) *************
The trio was bathed in pink neon light as they approached he doors to Town Hall. The music was definitely coming from inside the building and had regressed to the sound of a guitar screeching and wailing. Shock gave her friends a nod and pulled the heavy door open and stepped inside, letting the doors swing shut behind them. Immediately, the teens were filled with dread.
The building was large and square and filled to the rim with people. It had red walls and a red tile floor. Pink and white lights lit up the insides and twinkled off the silver and gold accents. Directly inside the doors on either side two angels dressed in very little white cloth danced within gold cages suspended from the ceiling. The whole crowd was clapping their hands in unison to the beat of the song that was playing.
::You give me that funny feeling in my tummy::
Lock, Shock, and Barrel stood in the doorway as the crowd began to dance all around them, not particularly noticing their appearance. Couples grinded together and Shock noticed that the woman on the stage at the front of the building wasn't waltzing with the silver pole before her. She pressed her back against the door and shifter her eyes, trying to find Cupid in the crowd. All she could see however, were the multitudes of couples dancing suggestively and it was making her uncomfortable. She put her basket on the floor and wrapped her arms around herself protectively. She wasn't a fan of crowded places.
Barrel's eyes grew wide as two angel maidens dressed in matching gold pants and halter tops approached him and pulled him into the crowd. He looked over his shoulder to call for Lock or Shock but they were both preoccupied to notice his abduction.
Lock curled is tail around his leg so tightly it began to cut off the circulation. He didn't care, just as long as no blood got to that certain part of his body, he'd make it out of that place al right. He noticed Shock backing up against the door and moved closer to her. He tapped her on the shoulder and leaned his head in close to her ear so she could hear him.
"I don't think this is the right place! Lets get Barrel and get the hell out of here!"
"Wait until Jack finds out that we stumbled into Valentine Land's burlesque house during a party." Shock glanced down at him. "What's the matter with you, afraid someone's going to pull it off?" She pointed at his tail. Lock uncurled it quickly and felt the blood rush down his leg, a feeling he secretly enjoyed.
"No. Come on, Barrel." He turned his head to only to find that a Barrel had disappeared. "Barrel? Barrel! BARREL!!" Lock called out into the crowd but to no avail. The music was too loud and his friend was nowhere to be found.
::I wanna ride, your roller coaster baby, baby. I wanna ride::
"Shit! Looks like we're not getting out of here. Come on!" Lock grabbed Shock tightly by the hand, a move that surprised them both, and led her through the crowd of angel couples. They didn't notice the angels in their suspended, twinkling cages sprinkle them with golden powder.
Shock pressed her body close to Locks as they carefully made their way through the sea of people. She could smell his skin and his neck, a soft spicy smell, though there were the same traces of sulfur like the ones in his room. Lock felt her breath on his neck and felt the familiar pull of his groin in his jeans. "Shit." He thought. "Not again.well, at least no one will see.and this is kind of what I wanted.right?" His thoughts raced through his head faster than the beat of the music. He wrapped his tail around Shock's back and pulled her a little closer.
Shock felt Lock's tail against her stomach move and curl around her back. She was now pressed dangerously close to him and her breath caught in her throat and came out as whispered gasps. "He didn't have to do that," She thought. "But he did it anyway.does that mean." She shook the thoughts out of her head as him not wanting to lose her in the crowd and end up having to look for her AND Barrel. "Speaking of Barrel, I'll kill him when we find him-" She gasped again as Lock's tail moved higher and pressed her body close again. Shock began t feel dizzy and let her mind sink into the gutter and she laid her head against the taller boys back.
Lock started to abandon all reason and began to let his hard on think for him. Sure, Shock was pressed close to him. Sure, they were in a crowd of people grinding and lap dancing. Sure, they were in a burlesque house in Valentines Land. He didn't need any more reason to let his mind fall into a ditch and move his tail higher so that her breasts would press into his back. Instantly he felt her go ridged, then comply and laid her head on his back. Lock suddenly didn't feel like searching for Barrel anymore. He knew what he was doing, and if all else failed, he would have enough sense, Lock hoped, to wait outside for Shock and he. Lock spotted a dark red pillar aside from the crowded dance floor and turned in that direction. He liked the colour and he seemed to be drawn to it. Shock started to protest, but decided against it as she too was getting sick of looking and wanted to do something else.
He led her to the pillar and released the grip on her back, turning to face her. Shock backed up against the pillar and looked up at him. The music rang in her ears and she suddenly felt very light and very hot, not really caring that she still had Lock's hand firmly in her own. He moved closer and their bodies brushed against each other's. Lock had no idea what the hell he was doing, or why Shock hadn't started beating him yet. She reached up and brushed a stray piece of hair that had fallen out of his 'horns' away from his face and laid her cool small hand on his face. And then, quite suddenly, time stopped for Lock as he felt Shock shudder beneath him. Not in fear, as her eyes said something else. In need. He snapped and with his free hand tilted her head up to look at him, breathing hard and pushing himself up against her so that he could feel her heart thundering within her chest. She let go of his hand and wrapped her fingers around his neck. He curled his arms around her back and ran his tail slowly up the inside of her thigh. She shuddered again and their faces moved agonizingly slowly until their lips brushed ever so slightly together.
"Lock.?" Her voice was nothing more than a whisper. He nodded slowly as his tongue flashed out to wet his lips.
"Yes Shock.?"
"Kiss me...please?"
