And here we finally have the clubbing scene... I have to admit I am not too happy with it :P I'm sorry... I hope you will enjoy nonetheless!

...

The line to get in was incredibly long. At least they had been smart enough to buy tickets beforehand, because at the register it was sold out already. This did mean angry people were preventing from others even getting in, demanding to be let through anyway. It was their own fault to not buy the tickets earlier. And now they were just holding everyone up. Naruto was already a little on edge, heart racing inside his chest at the thought of running into Sasuke here once more. Many scenarios had already run through his mind, every one of them as depressing as they could be. To Naruto there was not even a slim chance that this would end well, even if he was the forever optimist. Even he could not deny that this was a horrible situation.

Slowly the line scooted up. Next to Naruto, Sakura was flipping through her phone, boredom clearly visible on her face. Waiting was annoying. Especially when you could hear the rough beat coming from inside, knowing exactly what was waiting for you. But they now finally reached the bouncer. Quickly Sakura flashed both their tickets and the big brawny man let them through the door, pushing his arm right back after them to prevent some girl from following after them.

Instantly they were overwhelmed with the music blasting around them, the sound almost deafening. The beat was catchy enough though, and Naruto could feel the party mood rising. Sakura was already swaying to the music as she slipped her way through the masses, pushing aside a few people who did not want to make room for her. Some turned around annoyed, but as soon as they saw Naruto behind her, they let them pass through. They always had this easy way of moving through, and as Naruto let his careless smile slip onto his lips, the mood around him seemed to change as well.

How big was the chance of actually running into Sasuke here? It was so crowded and the club was big, really big. Of course they would not see Sasuke or his friends. Naruto hardly recognised any of the people around anyway, and he had seen a lot of cosplayers at the convention. There was really no way they would meet up with Sasuke, and that was a good thing. Really a good thing. Right?

Wrestling their way to the bar, Sakura and Naruto finally got themselves a drink, a very expensive drink, because they did know how to get money out of people. It was still great to finally have a drink. Let the liquid slide down his throat and have the alcohol settle nicely in his stomach. This first drink was soon followed by many more, shots being passed around by other drunken cosplayers who were eager to spend more money. It didn't take long before Naruto had a nice buzz going on, his head filled with this nice fuzzy feeling. Sakura seemed to be in the same state, a goofy smile on her lips as she glanced around the dance floor, her eyebrows wiggling whenever her eyes landed on someone she fancied.

With half lidded eyes Naruto turned his alcohol induced eyes at Sakura and chuckled at her. She was looking great. The lady Sif wig and make-up, together with the little black dress, showing just enough cleavage. It was time to see that dress in action, so Naruto grabbed her by the elbow and dragged her to the dancefloor.

The music instantly took over, the beat making their feet move on their own. The alcohol did wonders as well, making their movements a little bolder than they usually would be. Sasuke was the last thing that was on Naruto's mind right now. Seeing Sakura's hips shake from left to right, catching the attention of a few males around her, was great to see. The best was when some of them dared to approach her, and she sent them right on their way. Sakura was such a tease, always had been. It was always a miracle if a man got close enough to her for something as simple as a kiss. Tonight no one would get so lucky though. Sakura was here to look at everyone she liked, but it would stay with that.

When one guy got a little too pushy, Sakura shifted them around, so Naruto was right between her and the dude. An easy fix for her, and Naruto had a different view of the club. A lot of people weren't even in cosplay tonight. Most just wore a different coloured wig, and just a normal outfit. But everyone was dancing, drinking, generally having a good time. Naruto was happy Sakura pushed him into going out. Clubbing was always something Naruto had enjoyed, and with the tequila buzzing through his brain, this night could not get any better.

After a few more songs Naruto's shirt had gotten damp with sweat, but he would not stop dancing. His feet were still moving on their own accord, and his hands were swaying in the air. Somewhere in the back of his mind he knew he was missing the beat, but he didn't care. It didn't matter. People around him were happy, he was happy. Sakura was waving at some people, and Naruto instantly joined in, because waving at people was always a good thing. It meant they knew people!

And then someone started tugging on his arm. Looking down Naruto vaguely recognised the girl that was now clinging to his arm. The gesture was odd, and Naruto wanted to question her, until she sent him the biggest smile. Should be alright then. The alcohol prevented him from thinking it was odd when she started dragging him along, forcing her way through the crowd. Behind Naruto, Sakura was wearing the biggest grin. She seemed a little more sober than he was, and apparently also understood what was going on here. Naruto really only followed the girl.

To Naruto's pleasant surprise, they had found their way to the bar again. Another drink couldn't do any harm, so he waved at the bartender who happily poured him another glass of something. It didn't really matter anymore what Naruto was drinking anyway. As long as it filled his stomach, then Naruto was happy.

But the girl was not done bothering him yet, and now her face turned a little more annoyed as she tugged on the hem of Naruto's shirt. Letting her drag him along once more, Naruto noticed more girls that looked familiar, and once they laid eyes on him, they let out a screech that could be heard even above the music. What the hell was happening here?

With a confused look Naruto glanced back at the bar. Following this girl had been a big mistake. Right there, leaning back against the long sleek black bar, was a particularly annoyed looking Loki cosplayer. The dark eyes slipped up and down Naruto's body, taking his form in completely. Sasuke's stance did say he was as drunk as Naruto was. The hazy look in his eyes, the way his elbows heavily leaned on the bar to keep him upright, and then the hair that was perfectly slicked back anymore, but instead standing up in weird peeks. But even looking like this, Sasuke was incredibly hot, and Naruto still wanted him badly.

Unfortunately this whole ordeal had sobered Naruto up a little bit, the comfortable fuzziness having disappeared from his brain. The girls were still screeching, eagerly pushing Naruto towards Sasuke. The Loki cosplayer's friends had already made room for him, two of them standing by Sakura now as they wore pleased grins on their lips. Why was this fun for everyone, except for Naruto, and probably Sasuke? This really was not fun, and Naruto didn't want to be here, and this should just all be over right now. Too bad these stupid girls wouldn't let Naruto get away, forcing him right next to Sasuke.

Their arms brushed for a split second, and it was Naruto jumping out of the way, awkwardly rubbing the skin where they had touched. Sasuke only shot Naruto a look, but didn't move out of the way at all. Possibly because he couldn't, his limps too heavy from the drinks he's had. Not that Sasuke cared as another drink was brought to his lips, the clear liquid quickly being shot back, emptying the glass in a fluid motion.

A camera flashed, blinding Naruto for a while, but the girls were not done yet. They were screaming things at the two males, but Naruto couldn't understand a word they were saying, and Sasuke was just pulling up a lip in annoyance. It was best to just ignore them, but with their little group of friends next to them, Naruto had no opportunity to escape.

Glancing back at Sasuke, Naruto could see he was being ignored, which was reasonable. He really had behaved like a complete dick before. Maybe apologising for all that would be better. It was worth a shot.

Turning his body towards Sasuke, Naruto stumbled a little, his chest coming in contact with Sasuke's arms in the process. God, he was making a fool of himself. This would certainly not improve the situation, but Naruto would just push on. Naruto brought his lips to right beside Sasuke's ear, which was something Sasuke eyed suspiciously, and then started his apology. 'I'm sorry!' he screamed, trying to get his voice to reach above the music. 'I was behaving like a jerk, and should've kept my mouth shut, and I know you don't want to get into my pants. They are great pants though, but that's not the point. I really just want to get into your pants, and I was trying to see if you would feel the same way. I really am a nice guy, but often talk too much. It's a bad habit. And I've also been told I'm a little dumb, so maybe that has to do with it too. But you are really an awesome cosplayer, and I hope you can forgive me.' As Naruto retreated back again, he could see the confused and uncomfortable expression on Sasuke's face. Naruto had obviously said too much, and inevitably screwed up even more.

But then Sasuke leaned towards Naruto as well, and did his best to scream at Naruto. 'I have no idea what you just said!'

Well, that went well. Probably for the best that Sasuke didn't hear what Naruto had said though, because his speech was not that great either. Too many confessions in there, and Sasuke was already creeped out by him. 'Not important!' Naruto screamed back again, receiving a nod from Sasuke in acknowledgement as he settled back. Somehow Sasuke's stance had gotten a little more relaxed after Naruto had spoken to him, even if he hadn't caught a word. It made Naruto feel better as well, so now they were just two idiots leaning back against the bar, occasionally brushing arms as the stood side by side.

The girls were still frantically trying to capture great pics, even though the lighting must be crap inside the club. They didn't care and still happily showed one another what kind of great picture they had snapped now. But then a new idea hit the girls. Something Naruto should've expected, but somehow had forgotten about. The chant started softly, but soon grew in volume. Even their friends joined in, cheering Sasuke and Naruto on.

'Kiss, kiss, kiss!'

And the awkward feeling was right back. Naruto instantly felt like fleeing the scene, because now all he could remember was the previous kiss they shared. The one where Naruto had made a fool out of himself, and had embarrassed Sasuke. So it came as a surprise when Sasuke nudged him in the side, trying to get his attention.

Slowly Naruto turned towards Sasuke, expecting to be slapped in the face for some reason. It got him an eye roll first, but then a pale hand reached up and grabbed him by the chin. Before Naruto really knew what was happening, a soft pair of lips found his, and a sloppy kiss ensued. What, how, why? All these questions lingered through Naruto's brain, right until a tongue wriggled its way between Naruto's lips and forced its way inside his mouth.

More and more cameras flashed around them, but Naruto disregarded them. The kiss was where his attention was now. Focused on those soft thin lips, and that tongue that was doing amazing things with his tongue.

But Naruto's mind really went blank when he was able to slip his hand right under Sasuke's shirt, and could feel the groan vibrate down his throat.
