Starstruck II: Saruman's Curse

On the Banks of the Red Cedar (College AU)

Kevin liked Professor Castiel's theology class best of all his courses this semester, but it was the Friday before spring break and the students at Michigan State University were winter chapped and spring loaded to be done for awhile. On any other day Kevin would stay after class and assist his professor, but today all he could think about was the party planned for later tonight. Kevin was conflicted: although a very devout man his boyfriend was something of a rogue. Kev's mom said to stay away from that witchcraft-practicing ghoul, but Kevin couldn't wait to hook up with Harry later.

The Rhythm Fusions were loaded into the Aztek, seats full to capacity and the hatch full of weekend bags and a keg. They weren't sure where they'd be crashing later, but figured Steve would offer up his floor to them. Paris, Ashley, Kara, Matt and Gace had no idea of what to expect from a dorm party, but were up for anything. They hooted with laughter when the keg, rolling around in the back hatch, crashed into the side of the car and cracked the plastic door panel.

"Yea! A hundred and sixty pounds of liquid party back there! OW!!"

Dean walked past the Biology building on his way from his last class, figuring to catch up with his brother on their way back to the dorm. He spotted Sam near a magnolia tree in front of the building. Sam wasn't hard to spot, at 6'4" he stood out in a crowd. But what caught Dean's eye was Sam's posture. He was leaning in and slightly over a cute curly-haired girl with multi-hued hair who had her back up against the tree. He was flirting, that was clear from a mile away. A sideways grin split Dean's lips, revealing his pearly white teeth. Sam said goodbye, saw Dean on the sidewalk and walked toward him.

"Who was that?"

"Her name is JJ; she's in my biology class."

"Yea, I got the impression you were discussing biology, but not the class work kind."

"Whatever. I invited her to the party later. If she comes don't poach."

"Sammy, would I do that to you?"

"Yea, you might. So don't."

They took a turn toward Grand River to stop for tacos before heading home.

Brad, aka Fred or sometimes Greg, wasn't leaving anything to chance for tonight. A LOT of people were told about this party; who knew how many would show up? The Resident Assistant, along with most of the students from their dorm floor, were already gone for spring break, so no one in authority was left behind to harsh their freak. Brad walked the hall and unscrewed as many light bulbs as he could reach, replacing them with red ones. Nothing brought the "yea, baby" to a party like red light ambiance. The chicks dig it; they respond to it. Definitely a worthwhile investment. He already got some kegs lined up with Dave Wooderson, (alright alright alright!) and that dude never disappointed. Brad's mom got him a case of red solo cups at Costco and never inquired why he needed so many. Costco: Hell Yes! Last but not least, the bowling pins and the mattress...

Steve hopped up on the top trundle bed and let his long legs dangle over the edge. Jimmy K was on his way over, and they were about to convert this sleep box into a den of get-your-groove-on potential. The Rhythm Fusions were on their way here for the party and they were gonna need a place to crash. Five of them plus him and Jimmy equaled Best Night Ever? Paris, Kara and Ashley were some fierce beasts...even a little scary sometimes, which made them even more exciting. He pictured Paris hoisting the keg up overhead and onto her shoulder, and carrying it up five flights of stairs. He didn't know what was better: her, or all that beer? He smiled, then frowned, wondering if Jimmy K being there was gonna be a problem. Him and Jim had a "thing", but Jimmy was also known as a ladies man and brought his sexy with him everywhere he went. Hmmm, gonna have to see how this goes; two different kinds of jealousy surged through Steve.
