Switching Sweaters:

Shock

Aya and Ken could only stare in horror as they watched a boy in tight neon green short shorts shake his ass on the platform. Ken couldn't see himself ever performing in such a way. This had been the first time he had ever been in a gay bar, and from the shocked expression on Aya's face Ken could tell it was his first time too. The flashing lights and techno music were starting to make Ken nauseous.

They had gone to club Glitter to get an idea of what a gay go-go dancer looked like. Both of them had agreed that checking out the club before they started the mission was a good idea. Now that they were there it was painfully obvious that this was not going to be easy. Ken felt that they both stood out amongst the many fashionably dressed men. He looked down at his loose fitting cargo pants, and baggy t-shirt feeling suddenly self-conscious.

Two dancers on a slightly longer stage were dancing together with a black ribbon connecting their arms. Just like all the other dancers they were scantily clad in short shorts. Ken gulped, he hadn't realized that he would have to dance with other people. This was not good. He was freaked enough about dancing alone with a bunch of hot men ogling him. Hopefully Aya wouldn't notice his sexual preference. It would be hard for him to hide his excitement when he saw a beautiful man.

"Do you think you can do this, because if you can't I'll do it myself. We can't afford your normal screw ups on this mission, Ken."

"Oh, come on, Aya. I'm not a complete screw up, so could you just give me a break. I'm sorry about your sweater, but it wasn't like my mistake caused us to mess up a mission."

Both boys stood quietly by the bar continuing to watch the go-go boys on their platforms. Ken noticed the men would trade sexy looks with each other while they rubbed their hands up and down their well defined chests. Ken smirked as he tried to envision Aya doing those things.

"So, I guess go-go dancers are kind of like strippers. Only they start out dancing in nothing." Ken said as he watched a dancer gyrate his hips.

"Err," was all Aya could say.

"We're going to need a lot of help, aren't we? I don't know why Youji refused to do this mission. He would have made a perfect dancer. Youji is so full of himself he would fit in with the rest of them." Ken said bitterly as he brushed his brown bangs out of his eyes.

"Well, Youji's not on this mission, but I'm sure he'll help us with clothing, and dancing." Aya stated while he looked nervously around the club.

"We should get home and start preparing our auditions."

"Help us." Aya demanded as he gave Youji a icy stare.

"And just how do you think I can help you? I don't know the first thing about gay clubs."

"Trust me, Youji, you know more about sleazy dancing and trashy clothing than we do." Ken stated as he stretched out on the couch.

"Hey I'm not gay, so I can't help you there. You're right though, the two of you do need help with wardrobe, but you needed help before this mission." Youji huffed.

"Youji they really do need help. Plus you're the only one who knows how to dance. I'm sure you could at least teach them the basics, and you're also very good at dressing." Omi said as he batted his large blue eyes at Youji.

"Fine, but I want to have Friday off from the shop, ok?"

Ken sighed in relief. Youji was going to help them. He was glad Omi was there to help convince Youji to work with them. The truth was that without his help he and Aya didn't stand a chance of making it into club Glitter.

"I guess we should start with the dancing. So, show me what you have." Youji said as he walked over to the stereo and turned on some sexy techno music. Aya and Ken looked at each other uncomfortably.

"Oh, I definitely got to see this!" Omi smirked as he took a seat.

"Who wants to go first? I don't have all night," Youji said impatiently.

"I guess I will." Ken just wanted to get the humiliation over with. He was aware of his teammates eyes on him as he stood in the middle of the room. The truth was that he had never really danced except at a few high school dances, but those were always slow songs. He listened to the fast paced music and slowly began shifting side to side.

"Ha, Ha." Ken looked to Omi as the kid burst into a fit of laughter. Soon after Youji joined him in the laughter. Aya on the other hand looked at Ken with contempt. He could tell that Aya was contemplating taking him off the mission. His face began to flush with anger and embarrassment from his teammates' reactions. He couldn't believe that Omi was laughing the hardest at him. Well, he would show them, he thought. He closed his eyes and listened to the beat of the music. The sounds were erotic, and he began to think of his shower times after missions--grinding his hips into Omi's, Omi moaning his name as he came. Suddenly he felt his hips moving to the music. He thrust his hips forward as though he were grinding into someone. He opened his eyes to see that three pairs of eyes were staring at him in surprise.

"You're not half bad Ken, but you'll need to get used to dancing in front of people." Youji said looking at Ken in awe. "Well, you're up next, Aya." Youji grinned as Ken took a seat next to Omi. Aya stood in the middle of the room awkwardly. It was refreshing to be able to see their leader unconfident.

"What happens in this room stays in this room, ok, or I will kill you." With that Aya began to dance.

Ken held his stomach and tears were trailing down his face from laughing so hard. Omi was laughing so hard Ken was sure he was going to wet himself. Youji's face was turning red from the lack of oxygen because he couldn't stop laughing. Aya was dancing stiffly in the middle of the room trying his hardest to look sexy, but instead he looked more like the tin man.

"I don't even know if I can work with this." Youji said when he finally caught his breath. He came up behind Aya and grabbed his hips. Aya immediately stiffened at the human contact. "You need to move your hips, Aya." Youji explained while he moved their hips together. Aya began to move with Youji's hands, and Ken could tell that Aya was starting to pick up on it.

"There you go. See, you're doing better already." Youji said encouragingly to Aya. Ken had to admit with Youji's help Aya was getting better. He knew that Aya would do anything to complete a mission. This is what made him the leader. He was willing to endure any kind of humiliation even asking for Youji's help. Youji finally backed off Aya when the song ended.

"Well, I suggest you two get some sleep. I'm going out. Tomorrow we'll work on some more of your... moves. I'll also go shopping for the two of you for some club clothing." Youji said as he slapped Aya on the butt and went out the door.

"Youji!" Ay growled, but it was to late Youji was already out the door.

"I'm going to look up information about the three men who were killed at club Glitter. If you need anything I'll be in the mission room." Omi said as he headed out of the living room.

"I guess I'll head to bed then." Ken stated not knowing exactly why he felt the need to tell Aya. After all it wasn't like Aya could care less what he did.

"Wait." Aya said coldly looking Ken up and down.

"What?"

"We need more practice, Ken."

"I think you mean you need more practice. At least I have potential." Ken huffed. He hated it when Aya couldn't admit he was bad at something.

"Ok, so I need help, but we'll have to get used to dancing together. You saw those two guys dancing on the center platform. You know we're both good looking, and I imagine we are going to be dancing together a lot. Our looks compliment each other." Aya said thoughtfully.

"Err, Yeah, I guess." Ken could feel his face flush at Aya's comment.

"Well, lets get started." Aya began removing his shirt and then his hand flew to the zipper of his jeans.

"What the hell are you doing?" Ken asked as his eyes widening in shock.

"We're going to be dancing in nothing, so we might as well get used to it. Now are you going to strip or just stand there?" Ken shrugged, it made sense when Aya put it like that. He slid his shirt over his head and pulled off his pants. He blushed when he remembered that he had put on briefs that day. Aya was wearing a pair of simple black boxers. Figures Ken thought the man never had any color in his life.

"Briefs… interesting." Aya said as he stared blankly at Ken. Aya always had been a man of few words.

"Who cares what underwear I like. Lets just get this over with" Ken growled. He hated the way Aya could so easily make him fell inadequate. He looked at Aya who was trying to dance, but still having trouble moving his hips. Ken swayed over to Aya and slowly moved his hands to Aya's hips.

"Remember you need to move your hips." Ken breathed as he turned Aya so that they were facing each other. He flushed as he felt himself start to harden. He knew that if Aya looked down he would notice his arousal since his white briefs didn't cover much. Lucky for Ken, Aya was solely focused on trying to move his hips.

"You're doing much better, Aya." He said encouragingly.

"Yea, you're right. We should try dancing closer together."

"Ok." Ken said nervously he knew if he and Aya danced close together Aya would notice the bulge in his underwear. Youji was most likely going to find him bleeding to death from a Katana slash when he got home. Aya pulled Ken to him making sure they weren't touching yet. Ken felt Aya's leg sliding slightly between his legs. He understood that Aya was trying to mimic what he had seen the two men do on the center platform at the club. Ken could feel his breath coming faster as a leg inched up his thigh. Aya was only a few inches from finding that Ken was excited by him. The redhead began moving stiffly again causing his and Ken's legs to lock together. Both boys fell to the floor as their limbs tangled together.

"Aya, how many times do I have to tell you to move your hips." Ken groaned from under Aya.

"We'll continue this tomorrow," Aya mumbled as he got off of Ken and grabbed his clothes before he headed toward his room. Ken waited until he heard the lock on Aya's door before he removed himself from the floor.
