19 The Night Out

Cody's arm around his shoulders was shaking as Cody laughed gleefully. Stefan was stumbling slightly as he was shaken by him, but he was laughing along with him.

Stefan was slightly buzzed from some rum and coke and Cody's breath smelled sweet like bourbon and cherries. His ball cap was slightly knocked askew as they were half laughing half singing up on stage. They were singing Eye of the Tiger and it was funny how bad Cody's singing voice was. So off key that it kept making Stefan laugh through the song.

Which made them both laugh as Cody decided to do some dance moves through the song, like head banging and giving the rock on hand symbol, just making them both laugh more.

Stefan was having so much fun goofing off with Brick and Cody. They were incognito again. It was like they were just a couple of regular guys hanging out having a blast and getting buzzed.

It was exactly what Stefan needed. To relax and chill with friends.

But then it was his turn to sing with Brick. Brick's breath smelled like Southern Comfort and citrus and caramel.

Brick's ball cap was on backwards and his hoodie was unzipped showing off a muscle shirt and low slung jeans.

Stefan was wearing his letterman jacket and a hoodie underneath with high tops and skinny jeans.

Chuckling as Cody pushed him up on stage with Brick and the small crowd started to clap and laugh ready for more funny singing from this little crew.

But then the first few notes of the song started and Stefan's eyes went wide and he straightened up. It was his own song. Nomad Lover.

Brick's self proclaimed favorite song.

Stefan felt his cheeks go up in blushing heat and he stood there awkwardly as he pushed his hood up more over his face and peeked over at Brick who was beside the mic already.

Brick just smirked over at him and shrugged while nodding him over closer.

Stefan reached out slowly and wrapped his suddenly clammy hand around his mic and held it up. He didn't think anyone would actually realize it was him. They probably didn't even know about him. It would be fine. Everything would be ok.

Brick started off with the intro verse.

His voice was a deep baratone but his voice worked because it was clear and on key.

"Dream of me...

When I dream of you...

In my dream I see...

I see you..." Brick sang with perfect pitch.

Stefan was so surprised that he almost came in on his verse late.

"I can only Dream Dream Dream

Dream of you now that you're gone

Town to town and sea to sea

I have loved you for so long" Stefan sang in his sweet tenor.

Then both of them harmonized.

"Dream of me and I'll dream of you

Nomad lover, day or night

Awake or asleep I'll find my way to you

Won't give up this fight

For what is right

My nomad lover."

Stefan didn't notice the camera phones that were suddenly being held up. He was enjoying the song too much. Smiling as he peeked over to Brick who was smirking through the song as they kept singing. It was one of the better duets of the night.
