The Campus Bar

7:31pm

Wednesday, 5th of August

Lukas didn't really like going out to bars.

Social events weren't a problem for him, he could go out, but there was just something about bars that shook him. Maybe it was the atmosphere. He wasn't too sure.

But tonight, Tino had gotten him somewhat dressed up so they could meet up with Berwald, Tino's boyfriend. Lukas hadn't spoke to him much but the way Tino spoke about him made him sound like the ultimate boyfriend.

I guess everyone spoke about his or her significant other like there was no one else out there. Lukas didn't really care, just as long as they weren't talking about domestic abuse or something of the sort.

"Tino, are you sure this place is okay?" Lukas spoke up after they got into the bustling bar, the place full of students who didn't have classes the next day. It was loud, playing music out the massive speakers, which seemed to line the walls. The floor shook with the dancing and the beat of the song, causing Lukas's stomach to flip. He hated that feeling.

He turned to tell Tino something but was confused to see that he had disappeared. He never usually left his side if they were somewhere so crowded. Lukas just seemed awkward on his own.

Lukas began moving through people to find him but he couldn't see the tiny thing if he tried, especially since everyone here seemed to be sequoia trees compared to Lukas. They stared at him as he pushed through people.

Lukas shook. He was lost in a sea of people, unable to see where he was going. He made a sharp turn, only to run into someone.

He was tall, much taller than Lukas.

His shirt made it clear he was meeting someone, most likely a date. By the beer in his hand, he was either trying to keep off the hard stuff for his date, or he was a total lightweight.

His hair was gelled up, but not so that his hair looked gross and greasy, it actually looked nice.

His eyes were a crystal-clear blue, and just south, light freckles dusted his nose and cheeks.

Clearly he was a catch. But not right now. Not to Lukas, who couldn't breath.

"Sorry, that was my fault."

His voice wasn't rough and husky. It was quite clear, but fast, like he was desperate to say sorry.

"Yeah… Yeah…" Lukas pushed past him. He was lovely, but Lukas couldn't focus.

A hand grabbed his wrist.

"I'm sorry, but are you oka-"

Whack!

He didn't mean it. Lukas had just punched a work of art.

Like honestly.

But his reflex took over and now the taller boy had a massive red mark on the side of his face, and everyone was staring at him.

"Lukas! Lukas, oh my god, I'm so sorry!" Tino was in front of his face, a worried expression plastered onto his face. Berwald was right behind him, showing concern. Lukas couldn't keep focus on one thing. His vision was constantly dashing between the concerned look on his friends' face, to the boy he just punched being checked by who he guessed was his date, to every single pair of eyes staring down at them. His vision was blurred, everything getting too fast for him, and he was forced to lean against Tino, his eyes drooping, but not closing. Berwald came over and lifted the boy off of Tino, clearing the way to carry Lukas out of the crowd to get some fresh air.

Once outside, Berwald leant Lukas against the wall, only for Tino to wrap his arms around his friend.

Lukas just got worse, hugging him back and breaking down. He was so embarrassed and he couldn't breathe.

Lukas just couldn't believe what he had done.
