the party

Rob was sitting on the couch, no doubt waiting on me. He casually looked my way, exhaling a long stream of smoke.
'I thought we decided no smoking in the house.' I said, staring back at him.
'Except in my room.'
'You're not in your room.'
'Considering how long I've been waiting on you, I decided I could.'
'Don't make it a habit.'
'Of course not.'
'Well?'
'Hot.'
'Seriously.' I said, crossing my arms.
'Very hot. Very... I need some dick, and I need it bad.'
I didn't respond, so he continued.
'Honest. I would think that even if I didn't know you and how badly-'
'Okay. Fine. You ready?'
He stood, tossing me a black mask. The kind that only covers your eyes. He put on one that matched mine, but red. I put mine on, and smiled.
'Nice.' He said.
'Very. It's like we're the gay duo.'
He pulled his off, dropping it to the floor. I started to laugh as he headed for the door. I grabbed his mask from the floor, following after him.
'I was just joking.' I hit him in the chest with his mask, and he took it from me. 'You have to wear it anyway. Costume party.'
He put it on, so it was resting on his forehead. We got into his car, and headed out.
After enough silence, I turned to look at him.
'Are you nervous or something?'
He shrugged.
'So you are.'
'Just be careful tonight, okay?'
'Okay...'
'You never know who'll show up is all.'
'What are you trying to say?' I said, and looked out the window.
'You know, Brad. You like to aggravate them, and I don't think that's too smart.'
I continued looking out the window.
'I didn't want to upset you. But you know what I mean, and I don't want to kick anyone's ass tonight.'
I knew he was looking at me, and it didn't take long for me to break and look at him. He was smiling at me.
'You'd rather be tappin' that ass.' I said, finally returning the smile.
He laughed, and the rest of the ride was spent making bad jokes.
We headed into the house, despite my best efforts, not hand in hand. Rob said he didn't think it would be as amusing as I thought it would.
'See you around?'
I nodded to him, and he was off to find one of the fours girls he was 'seeing'. Leaving me to sniff out the horny guys. Preferably not straight. It's harder than you think at a costume party. Not all gay men go in pretty dresses at the chance. It's mostly the straight one's who do.
