what: Clubbing, dancing
when: Few days before New Year's Eve
where: Trixie
warnings: Possible mentions/use of drugs and alcohol; kissing, dancing

[To keep himself sane and for as long as he can hold out, away from liquor and drugs, TJ occupies himself with Friendr and anything that comes from it. It's worked out so far. People have met up with him. They've talked. He's not bored. He manages with what options he has, like usual. If he misses his twin and his grandma and hates the holidays even more, well, that's what keeping busy helps with.

He doesn't have to think about why he hates Christmas time so much when he's picking out what clothes to wear - jeans and a nice button down. Clothes that look good but move. He styles his hair and then bundles up to head to Trixie at the arranged time, stopping when he's inside and has a drink in hand. Coke and only just.

He's where they agreed to meet, so TJ leans against the bar and keeps his eyes open for Nico.]

Ah, there you are.

[Can he hear him over the steady bass of the music? TJ stays where he is, wants to look good when the guy sees him for the first time. He lifts his hand to wave him over.]

[ it's not uncommon for nico to stop and get a drink after coming off his shift. loki has been pretty generous with his hours and his pay, so nico feels comfortable in the club, despite it not typically being a place he'd spend time in. he looks out of place too, as he notices tj waving to him. black skinny jeans, a ramones tshirt, and a heavy bomber jacket cover the scars on his arms and legs from many different battles. the sword on his hip is no plaything and as tj approaches, he might notice the air temperature dip a degree or two. that's the affect nico has on the area, though he does his best to keep from letting that on. he's never been the best with people and making friends is hard for him. he's hoping the flirting that tj had managed through the friendr app will lead to something good, but he won't know until they talk more. ]

Here I am. Gimme a sec to get rid of my gear. I'll just tuck it behind the bar real quick.

[ which he does, shedding his sheath and heavy jacket before nodding to the bartender and returning to tj's side. ]

Got something to drink, did you? Good. Loki makes sure the place is well stocked.

[The guy's got a style TJ can appreciate. The sword is new, but everyone has their quirks. Besides an idle glance he doesn't pay that any more attention, not when he has a person to focus on. He's kinda hoping that this will go somewhere. The bedroom, sure, that's fine, but if it can lead to something with longevity, he'd prefer it. He doesn't have any friends here and he sure as hell didn't have any real ones back home.

Well, here's to hoping he doesn't scare the guy off.]

Alright. [He pushes off the bar and straightens up.] Sure did. Soda only, in case you're wondering.

[That way if Nico picks up a second round, he doesn't have to ask and maybe he won't try to find out why there's no booze in the glass.]

So, do you dance?

Soda only? [ it's not a judgmental question, more out of curiosity. with the drinking age being fourteen, nico's been able to partake quite a bit since he's arrived. his demigod metabolism makes it hard to get drunk, though, but he knows how to have a good time. and judging by this guy's attitude, he probably does too. something about that makes him grin a little. ]

I'm not much of a dancer, but I can try.

[ in truth, he doesn't dance much at all. he'd never had time to learn and the one dance he went to at school, he'd spent far away from the actual dancing to mess with his cards. but that was years ago and after the disaster of things he's experienced in relationships lately, he's willing to give anything a go. ]

Lead the way.

Yep. [He pops the p, but the guy doesn't seem to want to push and he appreciates that. It's not that he wouldn't admit to the millionth attempt at sobriety, he'd just rather not ruin the mood by bringing it up right now.] You don't need to be.

[TJ snags Nico's hand and tugs him along, winds through the people already dancing until they're right in the mix of it. There, it's not quite anonymous, but they're part of a larger group and none of the attention is on them. Which is how he prefers it.]

We're gonna have to get close.

[He drops Nico's hand to hook a finger in his pants' pocket, drawing him near as he starts to move slowly side to side.]

[ the finger in his pocket prompts the arch of a brow, but he goes along with it, as well as with the guy's choice of drink. if he wants to be sober, that's cool with nico. he's never been one for total insobriety anyway. so this is not bad, and clearly this is the kind of thing that tj's used to. nico relaxes into the touch and lifts his arms to drape his wrists over tj's shoulders, the hint of a smirk on his lips. ]

Do you ask out every guy you meet, or just the ones who're eighty-seven years old?

Just the ones who're eighty-seven.

[He lifted a brow, daring Nico to challenge that. TJ lets his body pickup the beat of the music, his hands fall to Nico's hips and he pulls him in inch by inch until there's no more space between.]

Honestly, I've asked out a few guys since I showed up. [TJ presses in so that Nico can hear him, breath warm against his ear.] Never really know who you're gonna hit it off with unless you take a chance.

[Which is what this was. Text conversations didn't always show compatibility.]

[ the breath against his ear prompts a light shudder; it's not an unpleasant sensation by far but rather one nico thinks he'd like to experience again. and pressed as close as he is to tj, his hands now draping over his back, nico feels a thrill. the beat of the music is thumping almost in time with his own heart, leading him to grin a little. ]

And am I the only one who took you up on the offer? Because I have to say, anyone who didn't is missing out.

[ murmured into tj's ear and their heads are so close now, he hopes that tj can't feel the heat coming off his cheeks. ]

Met up with a few.

[TJs good with body language. Small, subtle shifts in expression and stance that tell him how someone is feeling or what they're thinking. Some people are harder to read than others. Fortunately, Nico's not making this difficult for him. He can tell by the faint flush to his cheeks, compliment, and the way when TJ shuffles closer he doesn't pull back, that he's into him.

Enough to move forward, at least.]

But none of it turned out like this.

[TJ tips his head and brushes his lips over Nico's temple.]

Oh-

[ despite his usually cool demeanor, the kiss to his temple makes the flush in his cheeks brighter. he barely knows this guy, but there's a draw there that nico cannot deny. one that has him tilting his head just a fraction to watch tj's expressions. his long, callused fingers dance along tj's shoulders, tapping out the rhythm of the music as a smirk blooms on his lips. ]

Is that so? Maybe they weren't open minded enough.

I'm not everyone's cup of tea.

[Too bold, too outrageous and way too much of a flirt. He was an acquired taste. You either liked him or you didn't.]

What'd you say if I asked to kiss you?

[TJs hand slips up Nico's side, slowly making its way to his shoulder then throat, thumb catching under his chin to tip his head back a little further.]

[ all of those traits are the kind nico can handle. when you're constantly around teenage demigods, especially the greek kind ( where polygamy is almost a norm ), you get used to it. nico normally would be adverse to this kind of closeness with someone he barely knows, but since things fell through in other relationships, he's been craving the kind of touch and affection that tj is offering. he considers the question for only a brief moment as he tilts his chin back and watches tj through eyes like oil-slicks. ]

I'd probably say "yes".

[TJ dips down and catches Nico's lips with his own, the kiss light and unassuming. Testing, even. A gentle pressure to see how it feels, if they both like it and want it to continue. He pulls back. His other hand slides down to the small of Nico's back, pushes him closer at the hips.]

Say yes again.

[Because this was nice. It wasn't the Grindr hookups he was used to and it wasn't exactly a date. He liked it, even if the romantic side of him wanted something a little more.]

[ the kiss, as light as it was, has nico's heart pumping even harder. it's not been too long since he's done this, but tj is new, and adventure of sorts and nico is eager to see where this goes. ]

Yes.

[ breathed out slowly and he hasn't opened his eyes yet. he still wants to know more about this boy, get to know him and find out what makes him tick. time for that will come later, he supposes. for now, he wants to kiss him again. ]

[TJ makes a show of it, like he does most things. He pulls Nico's thin frame to his chest and stops moving, angles the guy's body so he has to hold on tight to TJ as he's slowly bent back.

The position gives TJ the room to control how deep the kiss goes and makes it so Nico has no choice but to cling to him.

He slants his head and presses their lips together. This time, though, there's nothing soft about it. TJ goes all in and is curious to find out if Nico will slow it down or try to push the kiss forward. There's almost a dance to first kisses, a learning curve for sure. They had to get to know each other. What they do and don't like and TJ was quick to show Nico how he wanted to be kissed. His lips part, tongue flicking against Nico's lower lip in a silent and playful - open up.]

[ where normally nico would be opposed to such handling, he allows tj to kiss him. the passion behind it surprises him, making him tense only a little, but enough to be noticeable. despite this, he soon relaxes, lips parting under the playful insistence. his own tongue brushes against tj's, indicating he's perfectly okay with this and more than ready to reciprocate what tj might do to him, for him.

it's all a little new and strange, especially since he doesn't know tj that well, but part of that is what makes this so enticing. to be wanted and desired. like he hasn't ever truly felt. ]

[The dancing, and any finesse it might have had, melts into something a little more urgent and less elegant. Two bodies pushing up against one another. TJ doesn't take control of that aspect, lets them both find a rhythm they like, but he guides the kiss so he doesn't spin out of control.

He regrets asking Nico to meet him here. There's a lot he's willing to do but none of it really involves anyone else seeing. He prefers his privacy. Maybe they can find it here or somewhere close by. TJ breaks the kiss, nudges Nico's head back.]

You're so goddamn beautiful.

[Which he follows by ghosting a trail down Nico's throat, stepping backward and tugging him along. He won't stop until his back hits a wall.]

[ tugged along, nico goes willingly. the hot mouth on his neck sends a thrill down his spine and really, there's nothing else on his mind. it's good, better than good, and he makes a low noise in the back of his throat. his fingers, meanwhile, drag down tj's chest to brush along the edge of tj's waist, tempted to push the cloth of his shirt aside. but he's still aware of where they're at and in no hurry to strip this guy in loki's club. instead, he shifts his hands back up again, sinking one into tj's hair and the ghosting the fingers of his other down tj's neck. ]

You're not so bad yourself.

[The privacy isn’t much better but he’s less in the spotlight. Away from quite as many eyes watching the two of them. It releases enough of the tension for him to hook his finger in Nico’s collar and pull it down low enough to kiss along his collarbone - open mouthed, obscenely noisy if they were somewhere quieter.]

It’s your cheekbones. [He lifts his gaze, blue eyes darkened by blown pupils.] And your mouth.

[Pink lips and smooth skin, all that dark hair.]

If we were anywhere else right now, I’d be on my knees.

[ as soon as tj's mouth touches his skin, he utters a greek curse. it's barely heard over the music, but likely loud enough for tj to still here. and when what tj says registers, he groans, wanting nothing more than to experience just that. because tj is gods-damned amazing and nico doesn't want to stop. ]

Styx, I want your lips all over me. [ a breathless chuckle, and he slides a hand under tj's shirt to scrape callused fingers along smooth skin. ] I can get us out of here, if you don't mind a bit of magic.

[TJ groans and curls his hand around Nico's wrist, stopping him from going any farther. As much as he likes it, the dancing and the pda, he doesn't want to do anything where other people might see. Light kissing, grinding, fine. But anything more and that old ingrained thought of, front page news, comes rushing in.]

I don't mind.

[He presses a soft kiss to Nico's chin.]

Take us somewhere we can be alone.

[ tilting his head slightly to offer more room, he flashes a smirk at tj, all dark and dangerous while beetle-black eyes glitter like oil slicks. he draws the shadows around them, cloaking them in darkness and in a half of a beat, he's tugging tj through them, emerging into a room on the other side. the sheets on the bed have a definite skeletal theme to them and the walls are soundproof. it's nico's sanctuary, where he can find privacy. enough that he feels no hesitation in tugging tj in for another kiss. ]

[TJs never experienced anything like this. Getting high might feel similar, if he takes a little too much and everything gets black and blurred around the edges. But it's not. This, simply, is a kind of magic that Nico appears to be in complete control of. It's intoxicating in its own way, though not nearly as much as the guy is.

The room is lived in and tells him a lot more about Nico than a handful of questions might. He doesn't have time to look it over. Later. There's something he needs to do. He breaks the kiss, gently shoves Nico back towards his bed until his knees bend and he's sitting.]

Have a seat.

[He understands the irony of the statement he's made. TJ smirks, brow arching as he runs his fingers down Nico's stomach.]

[ settling on the bed's edge with a slight "oomph", nico laughs. he feels a bit light headed and it's not from the shadow traveling. it's from tj, and nico's well aware of this. he shimmies back further onto the bed, trying not to arch when tj's fingers trail down his stomach, and grins up at the other man. ]

Have a plan?

Not really.

[He nudges Nico's legs together and climbs up to straddle his lap, pressing down just enough that the guy can feel the outline of his ass.]

Tell me what you want and it's yours. A blowjob. [TJ kisses Nico's jaw.] I can suck you off while fingering you. If you've got the time, you can fuck me.

[ that prompts nico to suck in a breath, harsh and a little ragged. the feel of tj on his lap, his ass pressing against his growing arousal is good, but the thought of fucking him? his thoughts focus on that, almost singlemindedly, and he pulls tj into a brief but deep kiss.

his already dark eyes are darker still, pupils blown as he slides his hands under tj's shirt. ]

Really? I mean, we hardly know each other. But... I'd definitely like to know what it feels like being inside you.

[TJ sits up a little straighter, rests his hands on his hips as he looks down at Nico. Blown pupils, already dark but darker still. Fingers brushing down his sides and stomach.]

Well, if you're not into it we don't have to.

[He cocks his head to the side, a brow shooting up. The expression is purposeful, smooth, but for a reason - to hide how much he likes being fucked. He doesn't let many people do that. He wants to right now. Needs it.]

But I want you to.

[ this is a level of intimacy nico's never truly experienced before. sure, he's been around, tried a few things, but fucking someone... he'd always thought he'd be the one to experience being taken first, but the more he thinks about it, the more he realizes this is exactly what he wants too. the way that tj sits up on his lap adds just enough pressure to make him shudder pleasantly and he licks his lips. tj is smooth, not just under his shirt, but also with his words and nico looks forward to exploring more of him. ]

Lube and condoms are in the top drawer. [ he jerks his head towards a bedside table. then, dragging his palms down tj's chest. ] I want to.

[TJ rolls to the side and off of Nico, pulling open the drawer to take out what they need. A few condoms. The lube. He drops them back on the bed and then stands to finish undressing.]

I'm not trying to be an ass but have you done this before? Fucked a guy. Worked him open. [Boxers halfway down his thighs, he pauses and glances up.] Just wanna know if this is something that has to go slow. If I need to be focused.

Or if I can let you take over.

[ swallowing hard as more of tj is revealed, nico has to take a deep breath to settle himself. just watching has him aroused and he can't help but want to continue, nerves or no. yes, this is the first time he's fucked anyone, but given how experienced tj seems to be, he's almost ashamed of admitting it. he doesn't want to let on that he's only fooled around a few times. not when he wants to impress. so he grabs the lube and lifts a hand, crooking a finger to implore tj closer. ]

I got this. Just leave it to me. [ his ears are a bit red, but nico has a good poker face. ] I'll have you begging before you know it.

[He assumes they'll talk about it later. What they have or haven't done. Experience levels. All of that. TJ won't kill the mood by pushing for answers or blow it with Nico by saying that well, he's the kind of guy who would sleep with anything attractive. He hates that guy. But it's part of him.

TJ smirks and shoves his boxers down, kicking them off. He crosses back to the bed and leans down to kiss the tip of Nico's nose.]

Alright then.

[He runs his thumb over Nico's lower lip.]

Make me beg.

[ as that thumb brushes over his lips, nico sucks it into his mouth. he laps at it a few times, a suggestion of other things before reaching out for tj's hips. when he has a good grip, and if tj allows it, he pushes the other man onto the bed and crawls over him. he has to pause to kick off the rest of his clothes, but soon enough he's pushing tj's legs apart so he can slot himself in between. with the lube still in his hand, he debates using it right away or kissing tj first. they're both aroused enough, but nico did say he'd make tj beg. so he uncaps the lube and adds a good amount to his fingers to brush against tj, but doesn't dip his fingers in yet, instead catching tj's mouth in a kiss. ]

[TJ falls back to the bed with a soft huff, propping up on his elbows to watch Nico take the rest of his clothes off. He's lean, all dark hair and smooth skin. He's beautiful, still young, and every bit as attractive as TJ would want in a partner. There's more to it, even now he can tell that much.

Breathing slowly, he drops the rest of the way back so that he can reach up and run his palms down Nico's back. When the kiss ends, he turns his head to the side so he can readjust his legs and give Nico more room.]

I like it slow.
