"Hey, I'm gonna go to bed, my tattoo starting to hurt a bit." Mae says to you, as she walks into her room, leaving only half a slice of pizza.

"Okay. That's fine by me." You say, knowing that the pain was not the thing making her tired. You stare at the blank TV screen, having just finished watching The Corpse Bride/ Nightmare Before Christmas. As you stare, your repressed thoughts come flooding back like a bunch of flying knives.

Why didn't you tell her?

Will Mae ever forgive you?

How long until you do tell her?

What if Dan doesn't like you anymore?

As these thoughts come gushing in, you curl into a ball on the sofa, trying to keep calm as these thoughts rocket around in your head. Slowly, you turn on your phone. You open contacts.

Y/N:

 Dan. We need to talk.

Dan: 

Okay. Where do you wanna go?

Y/N:

 Anywhere.

You walk into the gay bar, completely disoriented by the flashing rainbow lights and the blaring of loud music. You gingerly sit at the circular black bar, And are promptly greeted by a large man with ginormous rainbow nails, not to mention his Seneca Crane like goatee that was dyed a horrendous shade of mauve.

"Hey Boo, What would you like?" He says in a very large New York accent.

"Um, I just-"

"Looking for a hottie? That girl over there just got out of a fierce relationship and is looking back into one! I heard she likes the quiet shy type."

"Oh, I'm not gay." You say, a bit too loudly. Sniggers are heard. Glances are shared. Many flamboyantly coloured eyebrows are raised.

"Well honey, We can soon fix that." The man says, plopping a large tray of differently coloured shots right in front of you.

"Oh I'm not here to drink- Dan!" You say as you see him walk through the doors, another man already leeching onto him.

"You're not here to drink what sweetie?"

"Y/N Hi!" Dan says, sliding away from the man partially pinning him to the wall. " What's with- did you get a tattoo?" He quickly ducks under the mans shoulder and reaches out for your arm. The man spins around, looks at you and gives a disapproved look.

"Ugh. Heteros." He says in a rich regal tone. You both smile at each other and hug. Briefly.

"Yeah I did. Look I wanted to ask you something, Dan. I'm just-"

"Boo, Your sexuality is getting bored!" The bartender cuts you off, pointing at the many shots.

"Did you buy those?" Dan asks, raising an eyebrow, a smile cutting through his face.

"No, I think he bought them for me." Pointing to the bartender who was now eyeing up Dan.

"Well, If they're free." Dan says, stalking over to the bar. You look at Dan with amazement before swiftly following him. You both sit down on a stool and grab a red hued drink.

"What if they're drugged, Dan. What then?" You say, twirling the concoction around in the glass.

"Well, that would just make it extra fun, Y/N. Look, just take a break okay? For me." Dan says, swigging the entire glass. Suddenly his face lights up, and a large smile cracks open on his face.

"Try it." He says, putting the glass to your mouth. You quickly tip it down your throat, the sweet and sour taste of cherry filling your mouth.

"I think I'm going to enjoy tonight." You say with a large grin as you both down the orange flavoured shot.

~*~

"But Dan, you haven't tasted the whole rainbow yet! You can't stop on green!" You whine as you both dance on on the colour shifting tiles.

"Because at least one of us has to be sober enough to say which way we live." He says as he twirls you around, bumping into many people on the dance floor. You quickly grab Dan's green shot and down it in one go. Apple.

"You're getting to good at that." Dan says, laughing. 

"At least one of us has to be good at downing the shots." You mimic Dan's tone, Making him laugh. Quickly, he picks you up to the time of the music, and kisses you softly on the lips. He smiles.

"Don't stop." You mumble under your breath, leaning closer to him.

"Okay." You feel his lips on yours, and a celestial warmth fills you up.

That's the last thing you remember.
