punz and sapnap are already six shots (and a line of... something ) deep when they join the queue for abra, giggling at who knows what. it was just after midnight and punz was lucky enough to get a parking space just opposite the club so they could get fucked-up without having to walk a load.

the line was busy, groups of people all crowded together to try and get in, and punz and sapnap were both aware of the fact that people were cutting in front of them but they didn't really care all that much, just enjoying the time together. if they were sober it might be frustrating to wait for so long but, for the moment, they really aren't bothered.

they are nearly at the front now anyway, after a good ten minutes of standing about, so punz gets his phone out in preparation to pay the entry fee.

they turn to the till and the lady asks, "how many are you paying for?"

punz thoughtlessly answers, "two," and it earns him a thankful smile from sapnap before the ravenette looks over at where the bouncer is standing just off to the side.

punz taps his apple pay just as sapnap says, "hey ven!"

the blond man looks over, smiling when he sees sapnap standing there and replies, "hello sapnap. who's your friend?"

punz pockets his phone once the payment has gone through, moving to stand by sapnap's side. he instinctively holds his hand to the small of the ravenette's back, almost protectively (not protectively though, because why would he feel protective over sapnap?).

"my friend, punz," sapnap answers the bouncer, "he's been staying with me."

the bouncer nods, observing punz with a long stare, sort of as if he is appraising him, but then maybe he's just doing his job. he hums, replying with a small, "interesting," before focusing his attention back on sapnap and saying, "have a nice night. you both know where to find me if you need anything."

"thanks venii, see you later," sapnap chirps in response, stepping past the bouncer and heading off towards the benched area. punz follows quickly behind after flashing the blond man a smile, trailing behind sapnap as the ravenette leads them over to the outside bar (a window which led inside that they passed drinks out of).

"you know the bouncer?" punz asks conversationally as he takes his place beside sapnap once more, this time resisting the urge to reach out and touch the ravenette again.

"yeah. i told you, i come here a lot, i know most of the staff," sapnap shrugs, both of them shuffling forward in the line. "thank you for paying for my entry by the way," sapnap says with a sweet smile before leaning up and giving punz a quick, thankful, peck to the lips.

this isn't the first time today that they've kissed with no real sexual intent (except in the shower this morning) but something about this one feels different. maybe it's cause they're drunk and high, or maybe it's because it's cold outside, but the kiss leaves punz's lips feeling warm -tingly, almost- and it has a weirdly similar effect on the organ beating in his chest.

punz can't put a name to the feeling, and if he can then he doesn't want to, but what he does know is that he enjoyed the kiss far more than he should've; far too much for a hook-up.
