nothing burns like the cold

" One whiskey, coke on the side " You wave at Ran over the loud music, and he nods as he makes his way to the bar.

You've entered the club around 10 minutes ago, going through the back door as usual into the small secluded area where everyone was already waiting.

Sanzu has yet to speak a word to you, and that ruined the mood. Because you always have the most fun with him at these things.

"Hey Kioko " You turn around to face her, ignoring Rindou and the way he had his arm wrapped tightly around her.

" Mm? " She looks up at you and smiles, and just in time Ran comes back with your drink, which you down in an instant before standing up.

" Dance with me " You smile back at her, and she bows her head slightly.

" I don't really-" She starts but you grab her hand, pulling her after you towards the free space in the middle of the room.

The beat of the old school r&b song starts louder, and you place your hands on her hips - swaying to the music together.

She starts off as stiff, but easily loosens up and gets into it making you giggle, and you turn her around to dance behind her.

The moves get progressively raunchier, and you find yourself smiling at the way Kioko's shyness seemed to disappear after a couple of glasses.

She backs herself up against you, and you place your hand on her waist from behind, encouraging her as she bends over and moves her ass to the beat of the music.

" Oh shit, okay! " You smile when she turns her head slightly and grins at you with a small blush.

Your eyes meet Rindou's for a moment, and when you expected the usual dirty stare you notice him smile ever so slightly, twirling the glass in his hand.

You could faintly hear Kakucho's voice over the music hyping the two of you up.

So you turn your head towards him with a smile, motioning him over.

He nods a quick no and you roll your eyes, which prompts him to laugh and point behind you.

" I'll take it from here"

You turn around to see Ran cockily grinning at you and you smile, squinting your eyes slightly in suspicion.

" I thought you were with-"

Kioko makes her way back to Rindou, taking his hand and pulling him up to dance and you find yourself left with Ran.

" Back it up, and quit talking " He places his hand on your hips from behind, and you raise an eyebrow at his tone but do as you're told.

Dancing with Ran has always been a lot of fun.

Because he knows exactly what he's doing, and it does work as intended - that, however, is something you'd never say out loud.

Your head turns slightly with a smile, slightly fading once your gaze falls on Sanzu from the other side of the room, talking to a blonde girl you recognise from the brothel.

She has her hand on his thigh, and it seemed like things were going somewhere.

But he continues to stare blankly right at you once your eyes meet.

And not in a very subtle way either.

It's not surprising when you see the girl stand up from next to him to walk away, clearly annoyed.

He breaks the eye contact to follow her movement, grabbing a hold of her wrist at the last second and spinning her around.

And you shake your head and focus back on Ran, turning around to face him instead.
