There were a large number of people that Adrian recognised from the group he was hanging out with. Adam and Ashley were by his side, and some of his teammates were also tagging along too. An even stranger thing was that the Eagles who were also there were friendly towards him as they joined the group.

After everything that happened with Sam, the rest of the Eagles seemed to back off from tormenting Adrian. While they weren't going to be friends, they were at least civil with each other as they were now currently in the same circle of friends at The Highway - Caden had even bought him a drink as some sort of an apology. It was weird for Adrian as he felt like the drama was over.

That feeling lasted 20 seconds until he saw Elliot walk in with Kelsey under his arms, as smug as ever as he strutted in like he was above everyone.

"Hey you alright? You look like you've eaten something funny." Brody asked out of concern.

Adrian gritted his teeth when he saw Elliot smile directly at him. "I'm fine."

Brody placed his warm hand on top of Adrian's arm, giving it a reassuring comfort squeeze.

Adrian's eyes moved away from Brody's face and onto his chest region - again. He blushed when he looked at Brody's shirt. "You've missed a button from earlier." Adrian noticed as he pretended to cough.

Brody smirked when he looked down to see he didn't do his shirt properly, torn off from his body when Adrian wanted to sneak in some private time before they left.

Doing his shirt again, Brody deliberately took all of the buttons off, revealing his chiseled body in front of everybody - including a gawking Adrian. He did them all again slowly, dragging the time out, just for the one misplaced button.

Laughing at the wolf whistle behind them, Brody placed a light kiss onto Adrian's lips. Brody then turned around when Elliot had greeted him.

Giving each other a friendly hug, Adrian saw that Elliot's eyes were still on him - watching

him as he seemed close with Brody.

"Nice shirt." Brody laughed.

Elliot looked down and saw that his outfit was similar to Brody's. Laughing as well, "Great minds, great taste as well." He said whilst looking at Adrian from the corner of his eyes.

"Come, first round's on me." Brody offered as he bought them all a drink.

~~~~~~~~~~

Adrian didn't feel like he could let loose like everyone else because of Elliot, the guy was very unnerving to be around. Adrian's close friends were having fun, Adam and Ashley were dancing together while Brody became the life of the party around his bunch of friends and teammates.

Nursing his drink down, Adrian was scratching the bottle label off when Brody joined him at the empty booth.

Brody had to cover his hand on top of his to get Adrian's attention. Adrian offered a thin veiled smile that Brody saw through.

"I'm not actually in the mood anymore, you want to just go home or something?" Brody asked.

Adrian had just watched Brody dance like a mad man in the middle of the floor, kicking loose as if he was Kevin Bacon. "Yeah, looks like it with your dance moves." He joked.

Brody smiled, knowing that Adrian was happy enough to joke with him. "There's something going on though, what is it?"

Looking into his eyes, Adrian saw the concern in them. "I think I'm just too sober right now, you mind getting me another drink?"

Brody nodded as he quickly placed a chaste kiss onto Adrian's lips. He was too caring for this world, and that was one of the reasons Adrian truly did love Brody.

As if sensing the eyes on him, Adrian saw Brody smile back at him before he went back to order their drinks at the bar.

Now sensing a different pair of eyes on him, Adrian scouted the club and saw Elliot from afar. He was getting frisky with Kelsey in the corner of the club, sloppily making out as if no one else was watching.

'Call me crazy, but is he deliberately staring at me while snogging Kelsey?' Adrian wondered.

Adrian quickly shook the bizarre question out of his head when Brody joined him again. Clinking their drinks together, Adrian drank from it before Brody passed him a tequila shot.

Smirking at his boyfriend, "You said you were sober, now drink up." Brody said as he placed the salt shaker on the table.

Up for the shot, Adrian let Brody lick a space on his hand, as he then poured the salt onto it. Adrian then used his other hand to grab the shot glass.

Licking the salt on his hand first, Adrian then downed the tequila shot. Once he set his head back down after raising it up to drink, Adrian looked around for the lime.

He turned to ask Brody where it was, when he saw it was hanging out from Brody's mouth. The cheesy grin and cocky smirk on Brody's face painted a beautiful picture, with a little giggle that became embedded into Adrian's mind.

Laughing at his boyfriend, Adrian bit into the lime as he covered Brody's lips with his own, kissing him as the lime acted as a barrier between them.

Adrian quickly sucked onto the lime, biting it out of Brody's mouth so he could then spit it out on the table. Brody had wholeheartedly laughed at Adrian's enthusiasm. Adrian then went back to pull Brody in closer, to kiss him again.

Getting lost within each other, Adrian wrapped his hands around Brody's neck, trying to pull him even closer in the middle of the club.

Brody's arms had slid around Adrian's waist, letting out an involuntary moan from Adrian which made Brody smile.

The playful passion between the pair were soon interrupted when Elliot dropped by the table, knocking into Brody and causing him to accidentally bump his head against Adrian's.

Pulling back from Adrian, Brody apologised as he rubbed Adrian's temple, soothing the mild pain that was brewing.

They turned around to see Elliot apologise with his words, but Adrian saw his eyes were saying the opposite.

"Drink with me Brody!" Elliot exclaimed as he passed him a drink, seemingly intoxicated as well.

Seeing his new friend wasted and enjoying himself made Brody smile. He took the drink that was offered to him, and clinked it with Elliot's before they both drank.

Adam soon joined them on the table as well, all friendly with Elliot too. It was as if Elliot had already weaved his way into Adrian's close circle of friends, seeing how they all liked him.

And Adrian didn't like it at all.

"So Elliot, how is this place comparing to your favourite club back home?" Adam asked to make conversation.

Elliot wore a smile on his face as he praised it. "I love it! Cheap drinks, nothing watered down, and the atmosphere is so alive!"

As if they were just celebrating winning a game, Brody, Adam and Elliot cheered as they drank one of the shots that were just brought over to them.

Elliot noticed that Adrian didn't take one, so he personally passed one to him. "Come on Adrian, drink up. Tonight's only going to get more fun."

Keeping an emotionless expression on his face, Adrian continued to stare Elliot down, who only challenged it with his own smile.

"Aahhh you're taking too long." Adam declared as he took Adrian's drink from him, downing it in the process.

Ashley then came up to the group and sat besides Adam, who placed a sweet kiss on her cheek. "Hey beautiful."

Ashley laughed as she shoved him lightly. "Okay calm down rockstar, you need to ease up a little bit on the alcohol."

Adam ended up snuggling up to her closer, invading her space as he kissed her again whilst getting comfortable.

"Umm Elliot, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but you might want to look over there." Ashley hinted.

As she said that, all pairs of eyes turned to the direction that Ashley was pointing out, and saw that Kelsey was openly snogging Caden in the middle of the dance floor.

"Classy as ever." Adrian said out loud, noticing how her hand was already on Caden's junk.

Elliot waved the concern that everyone except Adrian showed, laughing it off as he wasn't upset by it. "We have this open relationship kind of thing going on."

"What does that mean?" Ashley asked.

"If there's someone we like, we go for them. Simple."

Adrian wormed in his seat when he saw Elliot look him in the eyes after he said those words. The guy just didn't know when to get the hint and stop.

"Okay, less talking and more dancing. Back to the floor, let's go!" Adam decided for the group.

Adam held out his hand for Ashley to hold it, both of them the first ones to get back onto the floor. Elliot was closely followed behind them as Brody then stood up from his seat.

Brody turned around and stretched his hand out for Adrian who was still sitting down. Gladly accepting it, Adrian got up as Brody led them onto the dance floor.

~~~~~~~~~~

Adrian was sweating on the dance floor as Brody helped him loosen up. Finally enjoying himself, Adrian was comfortable as he had Brody by his side, in the middle of an ocean full of warm bodies that were dancing along too the music.

Having to take multiple trips to the bar throughout the evening, Adrian kept bringing them both drinks as they continued enjoying their night.

It got even better when the change of music drifted into R&B, allowing Adrian to slow grind against his boyfriend amongst all of the other people, and under the influence of alcohol.

Moving their hips at the same time, Brody had wrapped himself around Adrian as he let Adrian lead. Their bodies were close as Adrian laughed when Brody kept kissing his neck, tasting the sweat and pheromones that Adrian was giving off.

"This feels so good." Brody whispered into his ear.

Adrian then turned around to kiss Brody properly, in the middle of the dance floor as Brody kept his hold onto Adrian, enjoying every last second of tonight.

After they just finished their drinks, Brody shouted over the loud music, "I'm going to get another one for us."

Adrian nodded as he then gestured towards the bathroom. "I have to go pee."

Brody left Adrian to go the bar, while Adrian went to go relieve himself in the bathroom. It took a while to get there, as he was slightly unstable walking through the waves of bodies that were blocking his path.

After doing his deed, Adrian was making his way through the dimly lit corridor when he felt someone pull him along and away from the dance floor.

With his back thrown against the wall, they were in a similar position again as Elliot pressed himself against Adrian, holding him in place.

"Elliot get the fuck off me!" Adrian yelled.

Elliot laughed off the aggressiveness that was coming out of Adrian. "Not until I get what I want."

"And what's that exactly?" Adrian didn't know why he even asked, he knew, but he thought it could buy time for Elliot to come to his senses.

"I want one night with you, Adrian." Elliot seductively whispered into Adrian's ear.

A bad set of chills went down Adrian's spine, uncomfortable about even entertaining that idea.

"How can I put it any more clearer that I don't want you Elliot, you deranged fucktard!"

Elliot delicately ran his fingers against Adrian's arm, enjoying the touch underneath. "I'm really liking this cat and mouse game we've got going on, it's so, exhilarating, don't you think?"

Elliot went to kiss him but Adrian dodged him, moving his head out the way despite the fact that his body was still heavily pinned by Elliot, out strengthened by him.

"You say you don't want me, but I saw you on the dance floor." Elliot then used his hand to slide it against Adrian's thigh. "The way your hips moved, god, I wish I was behind you when you moved like that."

Adrian managed to get one arm out of Elliot's grip and wailed his arm all over the place, attempting to fend Elliot off him. "You disgusting pervert!"

The music was still too loud as it barely came across as a whisper against the heavy bass of the music. Elliot used his hands to pin Adrian's arm back up the wall.

"There's this innocence and purity in you, it's kind of why I was first drawn to you. And then the way you moved just now, you must be a freak in the sheets, a sex demon that I must conquer." Elliot moaned. "And this thrill of chasing you, with you luring me in like a siren, it's intoxicating. So thrilling, so sexy."

Adrian tried to jostle himself even harder, attempting to get out of Elliot's grip. "Elliot, you are seriously crossing a line that you can't come back from anymore. The elevator was one thing, but this is way too far."

Elliot laughed manically after that. "Are you kidding me? We both know that I'm just playing with my food before I ravage it. I mean, if it was too far, then why haven't you told Brody about us? It still seems he's my friend."

"Because I don't want to get him into trouble for kicking your pathetic, squirmy ass back to Greece! There is no us, and I don't need Brody fighting my battles when I can do it myself! That's all I've ever done, and it's what I will continue to do against pathetic wastes of space like you!" Adrian ranted as he began to rage more with anger.

"One night..."

"What?" Adrian shouted confused.

"Not even one night, 10 minutes in the bathroom, right now." Elliot whispered, kissing Adrian's cheek before he could move it away. "10 minutes and then you'll be wanting me for a whole hour." Elliot smirked.

Adrian was looking around to see if anyone heard the insanity that was coming out of Elliot's mouth.

'Why the fuck has no one gone to the bathroom in the past 10 minutes?!' Adrian screamed inside his head.

Elliot aggressively slapped Adrian across the face to get his attention, his face now red because of the assault. "How about it then?"

Adrian's shoulders sagged as he became relaxed when he overtly peered past Elliot's shoulder. "Thank god you're here!"

When Elliot looked behind him, his hold on Adrian slipped. With no one actually around, Adrian managed to wriggle his other arm out because of the distraction.

Grabbing the nearest object by him, Adrian swung the bottle right onto Elliot's head, watching it shatter against his head in the process.

All of Elliot's grip on Adrian was let go when he paced back from Adrian, shocked to see a patch of blood appear on his hands.

He looked at Adrian horrified and shocked, as Adrian then grabbed the nearest table and threw it at Elliot, knocking him back because of the impact of the hit.

Watching Elliot stumble onto the floor gave Adrian the satisfaction he never knew he wanted. Adrian stood over the repulsive creature on the floor, and forced Elliot to look at him as he grabbed him by the jaw.

"Read. My. Lips. I will never, EVER, sleep with you."

Dropping his hold on him, he let Elliot's head fall as Adrian walked away from him, leaving him on the ground.

Adrian's adrenaline began to wear down as he was left thinking about what he was forced to do, to defend himself from that predator.
