Nite Club: Part Two

Co-Authored with Bombay Omi

So now it's time to work again. I sigh knowing I can't get out of it again. Aya will kill me. Heck, I think Omi's ready to kill me and that's harsh. I sigh again, going downstairs. He's there already. Damn him for being punctual, and damn myself for always being fashionably late. Ken looked up at me as I entered the shop. Those eyes, they always had had something different since that night. Was he happy I was bisexual? Or was he just mocking me. Whatever the reason, those eyes got to me.
"Oii, Ken." I greeted, apron going on.
"Good Afternoon, Youji." He emphasized the afternoon. "Sleep long enough?" Ken teased, using those legs of his to lift a pile of pots.
"Do I ever?" I found myself answering, watching every movement of Ken's.
"Only you'd know." That smile of his, he gave it to me then. Those feelings from the club just jumped out again, but I resisted the urge to pounce him, and claim him for my own.
"Since the shop is empty for a change we can slack off a little." I nodded.
"I do that when it's busy." Ken only gave a small glare.
"I know." It was his only answer. Ten minutes of silence followed after that. I was leaning back in a chair, feet up on a counter as Ken read the newspaper. My sunglasses hid my never moving eyes, thankfully enough. Though I know he felt like he was being watched, which of course he was.

I felt like breaking the silence and asked, "So, Ken dance with anyone interesting the other night?" He was probably hoping I didn't bring that up. Hell I don't even know why I did. He froze a second then blinked.
"Aa... You?"
"Saa.. You know me better than that, KenKen." I answered, not really answering the question. I paused. "Who was he? Hmmm?" I find myself asking.
"Just a person." Ken smiled, probably thinking back about the man. "Jealous?" He raised an eyebrow at me. Damn. I almost fell from my chair as he said 'jealous'. Youji Kudou didn't get jealous.
"Youji Kudou doesn't get jealous." I smirk, as does he.
"Good because I'm thinking of seeing him again." There was a small blush on Ken's cheeks. He dropped a bombshell. At those words, the chair fell backwards. I felt like I was shot. I was jealous. I was jealous that Ken was attracted to another man, someone besides me. Since when did I have these feelings?
"Saa…" I said as I sat up. Ken was there helping me. His touch felt so good. I wanted more and I couldn't help it. I couldn't stop it. Our faces were only inches away as he tried to help me up. I couldn't move. I just stared into those eyes of his. That's it. I told myself. Then a moment later Ken's lips were on mine in a small sweet kiss. He didn't protest either, which shocked the shit out of me. After the kiss broke, both of us were out of breath. There we sat in silence, neither one of us moving or questioning. Inside I was confused, hell my emotions were running wild. I decided the silence was more torture then anything and spoke up. "Ken... I.." That's where I lost it. He was blushing again. He was looking away from me and down at the floor.
"It.. it was a joke.... Wasn't it." He said quietly, looking and sounding hurt. He was trying to give me a way out, I figured.
"No." I answered quickly and shortly. I mental kicked myself for breaking the silence. I watched as Ken's fingers gently ran across his lips. Was it his first? It can't be Ken was at the nite club, which isn't exactly a lets sit on opposite ends of the table and look at eack other nite club. But I just couldn't imagine Ken being like that. If it was his first, I knew I was going to feel like shit. My mind went back to this other man. I suddenly felt myself feeling very jealous. Pretty funny for some one who didn't get jealous. I pushed those thoughts away, I didn't need them right now. I had Ken to deal with. He was looking at me again. I was the subject of his gaze. It felt as if he was searching my face for a reason or some kinda of clue as to what I was thinking. Yet I felt as though his eyes were looking far beyond the surface. I needed to do something. I was Youji the playboy, yet I couldn't find a single intelligent thing to say. Maybe it was the fall or maybe because it was Ken and I respected him more then that. "Ken." I started. I had to start somewhere and I figured his name was as good a place as any. I moved my hands to cup his face. "It wasn't a joke." I answer, wishing that I could quell all his worries with those few words. It didn't work. I could tell he looked skeptical. But why shouldn't he? I was after all a playboy. I use that excuse a lot don't I. I needed to try something different. I needed to be honest. No that certainly was different. So different I didn't think I could do it. It wasn't as if I lied a lot. I just had this habit of not being honest with myself. I couldn't do that now. Ken knew me better then that. "You're right." I paused releasing the hold I had of his face, but my eyes never left his. "I am jealous." I did it. I could do it. It felt weird, almost alien like to be that opened, to be that raw and exposed. It was small I knew that but it was a first step and first steps are suppose to be small. I hoped he'd understand what I was trying to do. I guess he's the only one I do it for.
"Jealous?" Ken echoed. Okay, so maybe he didn't understand.
"Hai. I'm jealous... of that other man." I tried to make it clearer, hoping that this time he'd know. All I got from him was a nod. A nod. What was I supposed to do with a nod?! I silently cursed myself again for ever breaking the silence. Since he kept silent, I just spoke my mind. "Ken, that night.. when I saw you at that club. It made me realize. I have feelings for you..." Okay, so being truthful was easy, when pouring your heart out to someone dense like Ken. I found it interesting as I talked his blush got deeper. So cute. Ken just nodded again, but this time spoke as well.
"I have to say I was shocked to see you there..." He said shyly, glancing everywhere but at me.
"As was I when I saw you there, but Gods Ken..." I sighed. What was I supposed to say? You looked so... hot, sexy, irresistable?
"Yoji..." He said my name. It sounded so right coming from him that the next question was barely heard. "Next time.. will you dance with me?" Crash and burn. My monorail mind set for destination Ken was derailed. Dance? With Ken. I found myself answering before even thinking.
"Hai, how about tonight?" Fuck. I had a date tonight. But a dance with Ken would be better then some date with cheap bimbo.
"Aa, sounds good." Ken said, smiling.

Then it was settled.

When 9:00PM rolled around Yoji strolled down the hall dressed in his best. Black leather pants when it with light turning a soft blue. Fish net black shirt and hair pulled back. Yes, Kudou was putting on his best for Ken. He waited for the brunette, actually being early. They had decided that they'd go together, Yoji driving. But when Yoji saw Ken it was shock all over again. A shiny blue shirt similar to the leather one I had seen him in before, pants the same type of material but only black. He looked so... so... I couldn't find the word. My mind was a total blank.
"Ready?" He asked, his hair having streaks of blue this time. Most likely using one of those spray on cans.
"Aa. Let me just get my keys." And then Ken and I will be in my car. Together. Alone. I'll be with Ken alone. That thought was what made me move twice as fast getting those keys. "Let's go." I said calmly as we headed to the door. He was following next to me and I could smell that cologne he had put on. It just matched him so well. I didn't know what it was but I was so intoxicated by it that I wanted Ken close to me always smelling this good. It didn't take long to get to my seven. My baby. God's I loved this car but putting Ken in it made me love it even more. My seven and Ken. The two things I cared about most together. I smiled as I got into the driver's seat. He was already fastening his seat belt. Smart kid. I on the other hand tend to forget that little safety device.
"Youji." Ken's voice drew me back into reality. "Seat belt." He said sternly. Who could resist that?
"Hai hai. Didn't know you cared so much." I said the words with humor as I fastened my belt. It felt odd, but as soon as it was on away we went. The car ride was for the most part uncomfortable. Neither of us saying anything but that was for the best, right? As we pulled into the club's parking lot my mind thought of that other man. Was he going to be here? Was Ken just going to use me? Hell, if he was I didn't care at the moment. I just wanted a dance with Ken, and then maybe...

Let's just leave it at that for now.
