Dancing around

Matt closed the apartment door with a sigh. While the dinner could’ve been worse, a lot worse, it certainly could’ve gone better. T.K. had spent half the night elbowing his dad, trying to get him to talk to his mom more while she, meanwhile, hung off of Matt like he was the long lost son she had thought was dead. Matt had grit his teeth and bore it, knowing that she was somewhat trying to make up for lost time but he had wanted nothing more than to tell her to mind her own fucking business and that it was too late to suddenly want to be a mother to her eldest son.

Then there was the one random piece of bad sushi that had banished his dad to the bathroom all through presents. T.K. was apparently saving his for the ‘friend’ party tomorrow, which left his parents.

His mother had gotten him a sweater, ironic considering it was summer, and it was the ugliest fucking shade of brown he had ever seen. Even T.K. had been smothering a giggle. His dad had given him some cash claiming that Matt was old enough to pick his own present, something he’d been doing for years so that held no surprise.

The whole thing had been unbelievably awkward and Matt was just glad to be home.

He let out another loud sigh as he collapsed gratefully on the couch. He noted absently the sound of Tai’s door opening and closing and so didn’t even flinch when the brunette placed his tan hands over already closed blue eyes.

“Guess who Matt?” his room mate whispered, hot breath ghosting across his ear, making him shudder and swallow a moan.

God, sometimes Tai made it unbelievably hard… er… difficult to control himself. Matt let out a heavy sigh to cover the bit back sounds and felt along the arms and hands, as if trying to decipher who it was.

“Hmmm… Mimi? When did Tai let you in?” He smirked at Tai’s burst of laughter followed by a playful punch to his arm.

“Very funny, princess,” Tai quipped back, ruffling Matt’s hair, a wide smile on his face as he leaned his arms against the back of the couch. “So, how was dinner?”

“Touché,” Matt offered before sighing… he seemed to be doing that a lot lately. “Awkward at best. But, it could’ve been worse… I guess.”

“That sucks,” Tai offered, sounding genuinely sympathetic before he was again grinning like an idiot. “Maybe this’ll cheer you up.”

Just then a square box wrapped in metallic blue paper was dropped in his lap, causing Matt’s head to snap up off the back of the couch. It was about the size of a clothing box and wrapped in the same paper as his earlier present from Tai had been.

“Happy Birthday… again!” the brunette behind him said enthusiastically, a decidedly mischievous glint in his eyes. Matt eyed the box warily and then fixed Tai, who he could just see over him, with a suspicious look.

“What?” Tai asked, looking almost hurt.

“You already gave me a present, Tai.”

“Oh, yeah. That was only part one of your present…” the brunette explained, doing his best to look innocent. He chuckled slightly as the blonde continued to eye the box like it might bite him. “C’mon Matt… it’s not a bomb, I promise. I save those for Joe’s birthday.”

That earned a startled laugh and Matt finally moved to open the wrapped box as Tai walked into the small kitchen.

Matt didn’t know what he had been expecting, but the, he had to admit, sexy outfit that he discovered was far from it. Clothing was quiet possibly the last thing he ever expected Tai to buy for him. He fingered the material of the blue short-sleeved button up, wondering at the soft, almost silk but not quiet material that had to have been expensive. He examined the jeans next, raising an eyebrow at the size, nearly two too small for him. He could fit, but it would be an unbelievably tight squeeze.

“Tai…” The blonde began in a stern voice, not bothering to look back at his room mate who was still mucking around in the kitchen. “What are these?”

“Clothes, Matt…” The brunette chuckled, getting a glass of water. “What do they look like?”

“They look like something specifically picked for a certain event,” Matt droned, finally standing and turning to look at Tai. No sooner had he looked his best friend over, that Matt found himself fighting off a nosebleed.

Tai’s hair didn’t look much different than usual, maybe a bit more gel in it to keep the ‘out-of-control’ spikes looking just as wild as ever, but it somehow seemed sexier than normal… holding an almost adorable ‘just tumbled out of bed’ look. There was a burnished silver choker about his neck holding a pendant just above the hollow of Tai’s throat. The pendant had been custom made in the same darkened silver to resemble Tai’s crest of Courage, the sun shape accented nicely by the dark skin it lay against.

The red cotton muscle shirt Tai wore was so tight it fit him like a second skin, showing off every defined line of his torso, nipples and six-pack abs. The deep blood-red complimented his sun-kissed skin perfectly, but the black pants the brunette wore made Matt nearly forget how to breathe.

They were leather and so tight they should be illegal. Every defined curve of Tai’s thighs and calves were visible, the pants so low that it seemed his hips were barely holding them up. There was a visible span of toned stomach just above the waistline, flat and hard that led the eye directly towards Tai’s groin.

Matt didn’t dare follow that line, knowing it would end him if he had to see the almost perfectly outlined package tucked tightly into the leather. As it was he had moved the jeans in his grip to hide a growing problem in his own pants.

Matt shook himself as he realized Tai was saying something to him and blushed slightly at his own distraction.

“Sorry, what?” a soft chuckle met his ears as Tai placed his hand on a leather clad hip, the other holding the glass of water.

“I said ‘that’s because I’m taking you out tonight.’” Tai smirked, secretly gloating at Matt’s reaction to his very, well thought out ‘fuck-me’ look. ‘By the end of tonight… you’re mine, Yama,’ he plotted inwardly, noting a rather adorable blush had tinted Matt’s pale face.

“I’m not letting you sit at home for the remainder of your birthday,” he continued, acting as if he hadn’t noticed Matt practically drooling over him.

That seemed to get Matt’s attention.

“And where exactly are we going?” ‘With you dressed like sex on a stick…’ his mind mentally added, not helping his current problem one bit.

“I just told you… out,” Tai said, knowing it offered no real answer, and knowing that would irritate the blonde to no end.

“‘Out’ as in where?” Matt pushed again, glaring lightly at his grinning room mate.

“Well, no where yet… first you have to change,” Tai started, turning to put his glass on the counter.

If Matt hadn’t been turned on before, being given a full view of Tai’s leather-clad ass had him hard and aching in ten seconds flat. Dear God, how had Tai gotten those pants on?!

The blonde wrenched his gaze back up to brown eyes as Tai turned back around. The brunette walked swiftly over to him, and grabbing his shoulders, steered him towards his bedroom.

“Now, get going!” Tai commanded with a friendly slap on the ass as he dumped a very confused Matt into his room and shut the door.

This was going to be so much fun!

The two friends made their way down the mostly deserted street towards wherever it was that Tai was taking them. The brunette had stubbornly refused the entire way to divulge the mystery destination and Matt had resigned himself to waiting.

After several awkward blocks with both boys sneaking peeks at the other and trying to keep themselves comfortable in their jeans, they came upon a long line of young men, all clothed in similar manners to the room mates.

The square building didn’t seem that impressive really, but Matt supposed it was usually what the inside was like that mattered. He studied the plain brick building not really paying attention to anything. It wasn’t until Tai had lead him nearly all the way to the door that Matt finally read the neon sign above his head.

“Token…” He read out loud, looking over the sign several times as he felt something in his gut tighten. He turned to look at Tai who was talking to one of the mountains guarding the door. “Tai…”

Tai looked back at the sound of his name, feigning innocence as to why Matt looked shocked and a little scared.

“Yeah, Matt?”

“Why are we at a gay club?”
