Under the Shining Lights

Shameless Smut (Optional)

"Are you sure it's alright for me to use the private room?" Leo asked, carefully applying his makeup, "I mean, it's not like he's a client,"

"Honey, when have we ever worried about money?" Muriel asked in reply, dusting a subtle blush over Leo's cheek, "And I've given you the same answer as the last twenty times you asked: yes! It's alright for you to use a private room!"

"I just want to make sure!" Leo examined his make-up, checking for imperfections, "Do I look good? Do you think he'll like it?"

"That guy thinks you're sexy when you wear that stupid unicorn onesie," Aurora butt in, grabbing the setting spray, "You look great, now close your eyes,"

"Yes, it's not hard for you to impress him," Muriel giggled, bringing Leo the fluffy jacket he requested. She leaned close to his ear, "I left some lube and towels in there-"

"Muriel!" Leo spluttered, face burning, "I-it, that's not- Is that what you think of me-!"

"Haha! Don't deny it!" She laughed, slapping Leo's shell, "I know what you kids are like!"

"Don't mind her, she's mean like that," Aurora chuckled, turning Leo to the mirror, lowering their voice, "Lay the towel out on the seat before you get started, so we don't have to do as much cleaning up-"

"Neither of you are allowed to talk to me!" Leo huffed, pushing Aurora away, "I'm just gonna dance!"

"Yes, you're surprising your boyfriend on his birthday with just a dance," Muriel rolled her eyes, handing Leo the knee-high, fluffy blue leg warmers he wanted, "I knew what I was getting into when I said yes, darling,"

Leo rolled his eyes, pulling on the leg warmers and slipping on the jacket. He chose this outfit carefully, a fluffy cut-off jacket covering a tight-fitting blue crop top, matching leg warmers, and a pair of high-waisted black shorts that dipped down about mid-thigh with blue stripes tracing up the outside of his thighs. This was probably the most covered he had been in the club, but that was the idea. The outfit was the allure, not his skin.

"Do you think this looks better zipped up or open?" Leo asked, adjusting the jacket. Aurora grabbed his arm and zipped it halfway.

"Are you gonna be alright?" Aurora asked lowly, brushing down some fur on his jacket, "You've been avoiding the private room. I know this is different, but..."

"That's part of why I'm doing this," Leo said, staring at the floor, "I want to get back in there, but...Anyway, I trust Yuichi. I think it'll be easier to be in that room with him. You know, he's safe,"

"I see," Aurora hummed, handing Leo a water bottle, "That's pretty smart. It's okay to take your time, though, there's no rush,"

"I know," Leo grinned, "I really want to surprise Yuichi, though!"

"Yuichi's in the room!" Muriel giggled, "Good luck, Aoi!"

"Yeah, have fun!" Aurora patted Leo's back, before pulling him close and whispering, "There should be condoms in there too-"

"I'm going!" Leo huffed, fanning his heated face. He made his way through the back hallway, creeping up to the private room. Peaking through the curtains, he saw Yuichi seated on the plush bench in his casual wear, looking a bit confused. As promised, there were towels, lube, and condoms sitting in the corner. He didn't know whether to cuss out Muriel or hope she was right.

He quickly tiptoed over to the control panel, dimming the lights and starting the music, a soft and slow song, New Side of Me by Blake Roman. He stepped up to the curtains, spreading them open and stepping through. Yuichi gasped, Leo silently giggling as he watched the fur fluff up on his boyfriend's face.
