Luminous Nights [Neteyam x Aonung]

Dark Days : Part 20

First they head over to the refreshments and get some much needed hydration, then head for a place to sit. They find an empty table just off the dance floor and happily place themselves there. The Sully boys sit across from the girls, each enjoying their drink.

Niráli- You have a sister right?

Lo'ak- Yeah, her name's Kiri. I have no idea where she is though. She's here with her date.

Tifa- They're probably dancing it up like you two were.

Quin- You were amazing.

Niráli- Yeah she's actually the reason I went back into that circle.

Lo'ak- Those guys in there were boring as hell.

Niráli- You can say that again. Does your brother dance like you?

Lo'ak- No, his style's different from mine.

Tifa- I wanna see!

Lo'ak- I don't think he wants to at the moment.

They glance at him, seeing he's in his own little bubble, not paying them much attention.

Lo'ak- Yeah he's content right now.

Quin- You two are so cute.

Tifa- I know right. They're always together, I've seen them at school.

Quin- Yeah I've seen him beg for his food once.

Lo'ak- A growing boy needs to eat. And said boy's loving older brother should spare him some food from time to time.

They laugh, finding his baby-brother personality amusing.

As Lo'ak entertains the girls, setting his shades aside so they can look him in the eyes, Neteyam simply sips his drink and observes his surroundings, enjoying the music. Despite looking somewhat bored, he's enjoying himself. That is, until he sees the worst couple to ever exist. Aonung and Rotxo.

They're at a table with Haeda, Zanin, and Xenji, looking like they're having a good time. He feels his mood changing so he quickly turns back to his drink, focusing only on it and the music.

While Lo'ak chats it up with the girls, Tifa notices a particularly attractive guy coming towards them from the dance floor. She taps Quin's arm, making her look.

Quin- Damn.

Tifa- Right.

Niráli- Who are you guys looking at?

Both her and Lo'ak look in the same direction, and he immediately recognizes who it is.

Lo'ak- Oh it's Yar.

Tifa- You know him?

Quin- Is he nice?

Lo'ak- Yeah, but I don't think he's here for you two.

They look at him, offended, as Yar reaches the table with a smile, showing a bit of his long canines. He's wearing a black and green loincloth, with some matching accessories. The girls stare a bit, getting offended again when he walks right past them.

He pats Lo'ak's shoulder, greeting him briefly before stepping over to Neteyam. The boy looks up at him, unsure of why he's standing there grinning so widely.

Yar- I know I'm not the cup of tea you were hopin' to sip on, but that doesn't mean I can't ask you to dance, right?

Yar holds his hand out for him, and the girls' mouths drop as they look at Neteyam, who's shocked to say the least. He glances at Lo'ak, but his brother just shrugs.

Lo'ak- Your choice, bro.

Neteyam takes a moment to think.

After glancing over at the couple that's endlessly on his nerves, he takes Yar's hand and stands, allowing himself to be led onto the dance floor. The girls all simultaneously look back at Lo'ak after watching the two attractive boys walk off.

Quin- What . . .

Tifa- The . . .

Quin- Heck?

Tifa- That isn't fair.

Quin- He's so gorgeous, he would make great babies.

Lo'ak bursts into laughter as the girls whine and wish his brother was into them. Niráli shakes her head with a chuckle before turning back to watch them.

Lo'ak- You girls are in for one hell of a show, he doesn't dance with guys often.
