Karaoke

Hall of fame

Adam Ortiz sat at the stool, lonely and scared. His first night at a gay bar wasn't what he thought so far. A sigh left his lips before his drink was slid down beside his hand. He took a sip, knowing he wasn't going to drive himself home tonight.

He glanced beside him, a man about the same age as him with dirty blonde hair and a smile that melted Adams heart reared his vision.

Ignoring what his head told him to, he smiled at the blonde after he glanced at him. The boy moved himself from his lonely place at the end of the table to beside Adam. Adam glanced down at his drink to build confidence before he looked up at the beautiful blonde in front of him, denying how awkward he knew this was going to be already.

"Hey." The boy said, slightly too excited. Adam responded with a small head nod. "You don't seem to be having the best time tonight handsom." The brunette smiled at the at just the thought of someone he thought was cute, calling him handsome.
"I had a rough day today." Adam smirked slightly, looking up at the blondes smile.
"James Rallison, nice to meet you." James held out his hand, smiling once again.
"Adam, Ortiz," Adam took his hand and shook it.

"So Adam Ortiz," James said with a bit of a mocking voice,"what do you do? Like for a living or a hobby?" Adam thought for a second.
"Well I pick up some small gigs to pay for rent and stuff so I'm kind of a musician, but I wanna animate one day, I've started a few but haven't posted any of them." James' smile grew wider.
"Is that so, musician animator. I animate too, just on YouTube and stuff. But musician, that sounds fun." Adam smiled more as he looked up at someone singing on stage.

"Yep, you know tonight's karaoke night." Adams voice trailed off as he glanced down and back up at James.
"No, no chance." James denied.
"Come on, don't you want to hear me sing?"
"Yes but I don't want you to hear me sing." Adam gave him a look that looked like he was about to say 'really' before grabbing James' wrist and running up to the stage after the person who was previously on there left.

"Hello my name is Adam Ortiz and this beside me is my friend James Rallison and we're going to be singing 'hall of fame' tonight to all of you handsome men." Adam glanced at James as the music started.

"You could be the greatest you could be the best, you can be the king king banging on his chest." Adam sang and glanced at the crowd but concentrated on James again."You could beat the world, you could beat the war, you could talk to god, go banging on his door."

"You could throw your hands up you can beat the clock." James sang. Adams heart melted at his voice, he just met him not even 15 minutes ago and here he was feeling like he knew him his whole life, like he was remembering someone instead of learning who they were.

Before Adam knew it James was singing the last line of the verse. "Dedicate yourself and you could find yourself." Adam opened his mouth wide to shout the next line before James glanced at him, it melted him, but that just made his voice excel more.
"Standing in the hall of fame!" Adam sang, he could hear the crowd shouting the background voices of the song.
"And the worlds gonna know your name!" Adam melted again.
"'Cause you burn with the brightest flame!"
"And the worlds gonna know your name!" Adam opened his mouth to sing again but was surprised when hands did too. "And you'll be on the walls of the hall of fame!" James smiled at Adam this time instead of the ground and blushed a little after seeing that Adam was staring at him. James continued singing the next verse and Adam just watched in awe.

The song ended and Adam and James bowed before scurrying off stage. Before walking outside to the night sky, illuminating with beautiful stars and a crescent moon.
"Oh my god! You were phenomenal up there! Do you sing lots?" Adam giggles with James as he spoke, still in awe of James' wonderful vocals.
"Nah, just in the shower. But you were amazing up there, did you hear yourself!" James complimented back.
"Well yes I am pretty darn amazing, but did you hear yourself." Adam cooed
"I guess I was pretty good up there, now wasn't I." James smiled, his eyes squinting a little.
"Umm yes!" Adam and James stopped walking and looked at each other before there smiles turned to straight faces.

They started into one another's eyes, James leaning in a little. After about thirty seconds, Adam looked away.
"So ugh, tonight was really fun, I enjoyed it. Maybe we can do it again sometime?" Adam said pulling out his phone already opened on a new contact for James to write down his number. James took the phone and wrote down his number, glancing up at Adam every so often and giggling a little before taking a selfie for the profile photo and giggling again when he handed the phone back.

Adam looked down at the name James put for himself, the phone reads 'cutie' with heart eye emojis on both side. Adam smiled before walking to the side of the road. A taxi pulled up behind Adam as he waved James away and left him in the small parking lot of the lighten up gay bar.
