"It Has Always Been You " Chapter 37 - In The Club (Nifty/Gay/Highschool)
It was a quietude casually walked toward the bus stand. They were not in a very awkward position, but more of a blissful silence. Both were grinning while walking side by side without a single word spoken to each other. Once in a while they both would secretly take a glance at one another, noted each other unusual gaiety. They're tempted to hold hands, but as they knew it's a bad idea for any public display of affection on their part, which would gain many unwarranted stares and attractions in their town.
Mikael will be more at ease if they were to hold hands or even kissing in public. Nevertheless, he had to restrain his temptation for the sake of Nick insanity of these gay things Nick had just experienced. Not exactly on the sexual experience, as they had done it lots of times, but more on the emotional experience as Nick had outed himself to Mikael openly but not to the public. Mikael was going to treasure the moment and to enjoy that very night with Nick would be good enough and be acceptable feelings within him.
Nick was undoubtedly sure of his feeling towards Mikael, and he knew that he was doing the right thing to accept what was true to his heart. He did surprise him with his confession by professing his feelings to Mikael. It's totally out of his character as he knew, from the beginning of their friendship, he was absolutely against it and hated in associating himself with sinful feelings towards another boy. However, as the more time he spent with Mikael, and how much of he has been missing him when they were not together, he had somehow begun to develop the love, compassion and affection sentiment towards Mikael.
One thing for sure, he would never ever compare his love to Amy and his love for Mikael. As the days passed by, his love for Mikael had grown to a stage where he would get jealous even for Mikael to spend his time with other people, especially if it was a guy. The time when Mikael was with Drake, his hormonal jealousy was so intense that he nearly had a blowout with Drake. However, for now, he knew he had to do the toughest task at hand, that is to break up with Amy. She was the only hindrance for Mikael and him to have a full-blown romance, and yet he still had to find a concrete reason to break up with her.
In the Club.
Amy had arrived alone as per suggested by Nick and got to enter the club. She was beyond skeptical about why Nick had asked her to come to the club. For as long as she had known Nick, he was not a big fan of doing clubbing. The last time they ever hang out in this club was when they were all there to support Mikael, when he was still a part-time resident disc jockey.
She wondered, if Mikael was doing another gig at the club again, and Nick wanted to be there to support him as he usually did? Did she really care for a slightest reason to be there and support the one person that put her in a whirlwind relationship with Nick? Nevertheless, for the night, her main objectives of motive and focus were to enjoy and spend the night with her boyfriend whom she had missed so much as all of his time spent, was with Mikael. She's not going to let herself be emotionally strained and to let the past be past, for a while, and to have some quality time with Nick.
She started to walk deeper into the club as it was beginning to get crowded with night patrons. Most of them were guys in groupies, drinking and smoking on the crowded floor. She tried to look for some familiar faces among the crowd when she heard her name being called out loud. She scanned the entire floor and got a huge surprised when her eyes met with Drake, and that instantly brought a smile on her face. She just could not believe that Drake would ever care to show his self back here again after the drama that he had caused with Mikael. However, she was ever glad to see him again.
"Hey Drake, what are you doing here?" Amy was genuinely extremely delighted to see Drake once again. "Are you running away from Montana once more?" Amy chided with Drake. For that moment, she had forgotten to all of her worries in regard to Nick and Mikael.
"It is nice to see you again too Amy." Drake was also excited to see her once more, as it is clearly shown on his face. "And no, I am not running away from anything, but rather, I've gotten invited to do a weekend showcase as a guest DJ here, at the club." However, as he was talking nonchalantly with Amy, he did notice one thing, of Nick not being around with her at the club. He could only guess the reason. Nevertheless, he prevented himself from asking Amy of the real situation of her and Nick.
"I am seriously glad to see you again Drake. It had been awhile since you've gone back home to Montana after what had happened between you and Mikael." Amy was sincere with her remark on seeing Drake that night. Over time, they somehow became a good friend due to their love life turmoil with their respective boyfriends, in the past. "Are you going to see or meet with Mikael anytime soon?" She did sound hopeful that he would. Since she knew that if Drake ever got to convince Mikael to love him once again, Nick would be back to be more attentive to her and all.
"I've already done this morning. Even so, I was rather surprised to see Nick there with his hostility towards me." Drake pulled Amy away from the robust crowd and walked towards an empty table, specially set aside for the guest DJ. As Amy sat comfortably down on the high chair provided, Drake went over to the bar counter and grabbed drinks for them both. He got a beer for himself and a Bloody Mary's for Amy. She was thankful for the drinks, and they sat down, side by side of each other, to talk and to catch up on each other love life progress.
"What? He really did that to you? I wonder why Drake. However, over the time, lately Nick and Mikael had grown closer to each other than ever before. And they had been spending time together, more than I am with Nick." Amy took a deep breath, "Nick had said that he did own Mikael's big time, for the way he had treated Mikael all this while." Amy sounded dejected and Drake did take notice it.
"You do not think that they might be hooking up with each other?" Drake was only assuming for things to happen between Nick and Mikael. And he's just pulling on Amy's leg to lighten up the downward emotional Amy's way of conversing.
"What? Are you kidding with me Drake?" Amy could not believe in what she was hearing from Drake's mouth. " That definitely cannot be happening in a million years, as Nick is straight as an arrow, and he will never ever be going to open himself to love a guy." For that very moment, Amy was speaking rather loudly, as she was fuming mad with Drake. How dare for him to ever, think of Nick that way.
"Well, it's just an assumption Amy, and an arrow are not always straight. By the way, they are with each other constantly; it won't be a surprised, if Nick and Mikael already have se...." Drake was jolted from his seat as he suddenly got cut off midway in his speech.
"Fuck you Drake. Just shut the fuck up will you." Drake laughed when he saw Amy, who was sitting next to him with a looked that could kill. She was really very angry with Drake, to ever, came out with that type of assumption. She definitely did not quite hide the fact that she was furious, with the mad expression portrayed on her face.
"Well, Amy, you do not have to be hostile like they do. Do you?" Drake tried to get Amy to calm down. He practically knew, how sensitive to these types of conversation was with Amy. Silently, he knew that he was just stating the truth, from the way he had looked obvious scenario that was displayed by Nick and Mikael, at the moment. It's no doubt that something was truly going on between them.
"Listen here Drake." Amy stated. "You are the first guy to pop Mikael's cherry, and I do not care if you pop his again repeatedly. Just do not try to get my boyfriend involve in all of this." Amy was giggling when she realized what she had said. Finally, she could see the funny side of the conversation, and Drake was totally relieved. It was not his intention at all to create any friction with Amy.
"Wow Amy that is a good idea for a threesome." Drake was now laughing hysterically. They were enjoying each other a company, talking casually, remembering back of memories they had when Drake was in town, when their attention turned to focusing at the entrance, of the club. Nick and Mikael had just walked in with each other, a boyfriend and an ex-boyfriend. No doubt they looked good with each other and Amy, jointly with Drake had gotten intimidated seeing Nick and Mikael's walking in together.
Amy began to wave her hand frantically and vigorously up high in the direction of Nick and Mikael. She was obviously trying to grab on to their attention. Nick did see her candid action; he spontaneously grabbed on to Mikael's hand, hold it tight and pulled him to move towards Amy. Together, they expertly maneuvered their way through the compact bodies of the club patrons. Nick did not let go off Mikael's hand throughout the impassible route. At least, not until they've reached in front of the table where Amy and Drake were sitting.
Amy did notice the hand-holding of Nick and Mikael, as they were coming nearer to the table. And yet, she could not believe that they had totally ignored her staring sharply and acted normally in front of Drake and her. They casually greet Amy and Drake as though nothing was happening. Drake saw the tension in Amy's face. He quickly grabbed Mikael's waist and pulled him in for a hug and kissed both of Mikael's cheeks as he wanted to defuse the situation from getting overblown. Amy snapped from her dazed and reciprocated Drake's action to Mikael and Nick where Nick and Drake just shook each hand.
For the first hour, everything seems to go on rather smoothly. Everyone was trying to talk with each other over the sound of the club dance music. It was blaring out loud from the surround speaker. Nick had gone over to the bar to get everyone another round of drinks, and to free himself from Amy. He thought that Amy was getting too clingy in order for Nick to feel comfortable. As much as he tried to disengage himself from her, she just tightened her grip whenever he does it.
No one had ever noticed that Nick did not talk as much with Amy. He busied himself by staring sharply at Mikael and Drake. They were, in fact, talking candidly with each other. Even though their conversation was nothing sexual or lustful, nonetheless, with the way Drake was padding Mikael's tights, shoulder and sometimes his chest, had Nick stare's daggers to Drake. Nick felt angry as he thought that Mikael was ignoring him, and Mikael was having his time with Drake.
Mikael and Drake sat close with each other while talking casually. They were asking each other about their being, ever since the day they were not together anymore. Drake was pushing hard on Mikael for an answer, if he was dating anyone. However, Mikael just shrugged his shoulder. Of course, he did not want to shout out loud in the club that Nick, and he was dating.
Mikael took a glance at Nick and got a surprised knowing that Nick was staring at him intensely. He just gave Nick a sweet smile and padded him on his leg, but Nick just so stone stared at him with a frown upon his forehead. Mikael resumed his conversation with Drake. He did take notice how wrapped up Amy was with Nick during his short glanced, looking at Nick. Nevertheless, he did not want to overly, reacting as he took a deep breath to make himself to feel calm and collected.
Suddenly, Nick pushed himself away from the table. By doing so, he was unknowingly screeching the chair across the floor rather loudly, intending to leave the table hastily. His drastic actions captured everyone's, sitting at the table's attention and a few other tables around them that made them turn around to look in their direction. Nick looked agitated and was about to leave the table, when Amy tried pulling him to sit back down.
"Where are you going Nick?" Amy was asking Nick in a surprised yet commanding tone into her voice.
"I need to go into the restroom. Why? Do you still want to keep on clinging to me while I am taking a piss too?" Nick's felt anger and annoyance at what was perceived as unfair treatment with the way Amy had spoken to him.
"No. I was just asking Nick. As suddenly as you pushed yourself away from the table." Amy was shocked and astonished when Nick snapped at her unexpectedly. She felt unfounded and was totally bewildered and perplexed by the way Nick was treating her at that moment.
Mikael got to see the agitation and frustration on Nick's face. As Nick hastily walked away from the table towards the direction of the restroom, he immediately sprang on to his feet and decided to follow Nick, on the pretext of him needed to piss too.
"Wait for me Nick, I am going with you as I need to take a piss too." Mikael had just managed to tap on Nick's shoulder before Nick went further away. Nick stopped in his tracked as he turned around to face Mikael.
"It is about time." Nick turned back around and hastily walking away from Mikael. Nick left him in a state of shocked and disbelieved. He was undoubtedly surprised and simply could not believe that Nick could be behaving in that way. It was so not Nick at all.
Mikael quickened his steps to catch up with Nick. By then they were walking side by side. Even so, not once that Nick turned to talking to Mikael. Nevertheless, as they were nearing the bathroom, Mikael suddenly grabbed on to Nick's hand and pulled him away to the back to the club, where it is more private and empty. He had known this club pretty well as he did ever work here before as a part-time DJ.
"What is wrong with you Nick? Why are you acting like a spoiled child in front of our friends?" Mikael pushed Nick against the wall, and he stood rooted in front of Nick, while he was facing him. "Please tell me Nick. What is actually on your mind?" Mikael spoke in a pleading voice
"It's nothing. Nothing is wrong." Nick's not entirely looked at Mikael straight in the face, but more on staring the floor of the hallway at the back inside the club. Ever since he had expressed his true love for Mikael, he had become such a jealous person. He did not to be or to feel that way. He wanted to have the kind of relationship that was solely based on love and trust. He felt so ashamed of himself.
"Do not you ever try to bullshit with me, Nick. Aren't we supposedly being enjoyed our self-tonight like we planned?" Mikael reminded Nick of what they had talked earlier back at his house.
"I know; I remember, and I have tried to. Even so, you were ignoring me, Mikael. You could see that I am sitting beside you and not once you have talked to me. Instead, you talk more with the ex-boyfriend of yours than you are to me." There were tears forming in Nick's eyes. "I felt disappointed and neglected by you, Mikael."
"Do you realize what you are saying Nick?" Mikael took a deep breath. "Where is the boisterous Nick, did I get to fall in love with? What have you turned yourself into Nick?"
"I love you Mikael. And I do not want to lose you ever." Nick sniffled as his tear drops came cascading down from his eyes to his cheeks.
"And I love you too. Even so, do you want me to be open about us. What are you going to do about Amy then?" Mikael took his right hand and lifted Nick's chin and looked him in the eyes. "Let us not bicker about trivial things Nick. You, at this moment need to know, that I love you, and we indeed love each other. I promised that I won't go anywhere without you by my side. Let's be, at this moment, enjoy the night alongside our friends and even when we cannot be near to each other." Mikael paused and took his right hand and placed it on Nick's chest, where the heart was situated. "We will always be adjoining at heart."
Mikael leaned into Nick and kissed him gently on the lips. As Nick began to feel the warmth of Mikael's sweet lips; he wrapped his hand around Mikael's waist and pulled Mikael closer to him for a deeper and passionate kissed. They kissed each other for a long time and when they parted, they embraced each other tightly, not wanting to let it go.
"I do really love you Mikael. I should have said it a long time before. I am hoping that it is not too late to say so." Nick was whispering to Mikael's ears.
"I love you too. It is better late, then never." Mikael smiled widely at Nick, reassuring him that he knew it outright to how much they had loved each other. "I am glad that you have finally gotten to realize that I am dead serious in loving you all this time Nick." Mikael got choked with emotion, and yet he was still able to remain calm.
After another few more kisses to each other, together, they went back to the table, where Amy was sitting alone and frowning. Drake already went to the DJ console and started spinning his music. Mikael immediately went to the dance floor to dance with anyone as he knew Nick did not like to dance. Amy, was dancing with her girlfriends whom she had found at the club. And at their table, Nick was smiling as he looked at the way Mikael was enjoying himself on the dance floor. He was so captivated seeing Mikael strong, sexy body, swaying and move to the dance music, blaring from the gigantic speakers all around the club.
After sometimes, Mikael felt tired and made his way through the masses of sweaty bodies on the dance floor, back to the table, where Nick was seated to take a breather and a swap of his drink. He smiled sweetly at Nick, who was grinning like a canary bird, looking at him. He sat himself closely beside Nick and leaned his body on Nick from exhaustion. Nick could feel the heat transmit from Mikael's body. Mikael glistering body of sweat, did not even gross Nick at all. In fact, he felt rather aroused, and it instantaneously created a bulged on his pants.
Nick felt the serenity sensation, of Mikael's warmth, and he was enjoying every second of it. Suddenly, he felt Mikael got yanked away from him. He looked for the guy and noticed that it was Drake. His immediate instinct was to grab Mikael's hand and yet he, himself got dragged to the dance floor.
It's late in the early morning, and the club was about to close its doors right after the last song. It was a slow couple song, and Drake took the opportunity quickly and pulled Mikael closer to his body and to dance with him. Their bodies mashed up, and they were swaying into the music. Nick himself was dancing after Amy had pulled him to her. He would very much prefer it was Mikael though.
As they were swaying their bodies to the music with their partners while holding on to their waist, Nick and Mikael had reached out a hand to each other to hold without anyone noticing while they were dancing rather closely. Their eyes met, and they were looking at each other lovingly.
At the end of the night, Nick went to send Amy straight to her house. Nevertheless, when she asked him to stay over, he rejected, saying that he's kind of tired and gotten a bit drunk. He just wanted to go home to sleep. He hastily left her at the front door of her house, without even giving her a goodbye kiss and went ahead to walk in the direction to his house.
However, when he was totally out of Amy's sight, he quickly made a detour to Mikael's house that was waiting for him on his doorsteps. They hold hands while walking through the house and upstairs to Mikael's room. They immediately shed their clothing's and climbed onto the bed, spooning each other to sleep.
Damn! Oh, what a night it was for Mikael and Nick. It was so bizarre for the both of them too, ever soak in the situation. In the end, they had to leave it in God's hand for a resounding future together
