Watch Me

Summary: Dan and Phil's prom dates have both ditched them, so they decide to show them what they're missing. ;) •kinda stole this from Tumblr•

Dan hadn't wanted to come here in the first place. He was much more content with the idea of staying home and binge watching Breaking Bad on Netflix all night, but apparently, Alex Mason had different plans.

Alex wasn't what most people would consider attractive, or all together interesting. He was shy and somewhat of a nerd, but he was nice. And Dan didn't want to look like an asshole by rejecting his invitation to the prom.

So here he was was, on a Saturday night in the most uncomfortable suit and the deepest regret. He tugged at the collar nervously, looking around at all the gyrating bodies underneath the canopy of flashing lights. His "date" had gone to get them some drinks. That was an hour ago.

What the hell was he thinking, agreeing to come here? He should have known it was going to end up like this, him standing in some lonesome corner while his date went off somewhere without him. He'd thought that maybe Alex wouldn't be that way, he seemed so sweet, but here they were.

Dan sighed, loosening his tie to try and get some much needed air into the confinement of this stupid suit. It was way too hot in here for him, and all the bodies packed in weren't helping the situation. He'd actually really been looking forward to that drink, but it looked like it wasn't coming. It looked like he was on his own, because his parents had gone out, and he didn't have a key so he'd have to wait till they got home.

Dan pushed his hair back from his face, and could feel it starting to go curly from sweat. Damn, it had taken him an hour to straighten it. Why the fuck was it so hot in here?

He swallowed, feeling his throat start to go dry, and decided to go ahead and get his own drink. It seemed Alex wasn't coming back.

He pushed his way through the crowd, not caring about the dirty looks he got and the rude comments thrown his way. There was a huge bowl that was full of fruity red liquid, just like in the cliche stories, and Dan gratefully grabbed a cup. It was way too sweet, but it helped to cool him down some, and so he kept drinking.

Someone sidled up next to him, grabbing their own drink. Dan glanced over, and had to physically restrain himself from looking over and staring.

Because damn, this guy was hot. From the corner of his eye, Dan could see he had inky black hair that seemed sort of purple under the lights, and his skin was very pale, almost vampire worthy. He had on a suit like most of the guys here, but his jacket had gone and his tie was lazily undone. As if he had grown tired of wearing it. Dan couldn't blame him.

They stood there awkwardly next to each other, Dan staring away from this stranger and cautiously drinking from his almost empty cup. He didn't want to leave, because that would mean retreating back to his dark corner, but he didn't know if he should stay, lest this stranger think he was interested. Even though he was.

"Hey." the guy suddenly said, and Dan looked up in surprise. He was smiling slightly, and now Dan could see that he had blue eyes that were twinkling from all the lights, an probably just because that's what they did.

"Uh, hey." he replied, feeling kind of stupid for flushing slightly. He didn't have any reason to be nervous, even if the guy was attractive.

"You look kind of lonely." the guy continued, his smile growing wider, and Dan thought it was because he'd actually responded instead of ignoring him. Dan chuckled.

"I-I guess." he said. "I mean, my date kind of ditched me, so." he shrugged, trying to play it off like it didn't bother him. And it didn't really. he just didn't like being here at all. He took another sip of his drink, until the cup was empty, and set it on the table beside him.
