Other notes: Not important and you probably don't need this information but some things in this ficcy are based on my bar -night(I mostly took inspiration from myself to Jared). But only so little, that this is just mostly fiction.

Jared took a sip from his beer bottle and placed it on the table that was next to him. He was surfing on internet on his laptop and listened music through headphones. He had drank couple of beers already and it was 9pm on Friday night.

He moved a little on sound of the music and lip -sync some lyrics. He wasn’t planned anything to do on this night, just being at home by himself. Colin, the guy who he had met at work couple of weeks ago, suddenly chatted to him on his Facebook.

Colin: “hey”

Jared: “Hi you”

C: “What are u doing tonight?”

J: “uh, nothing much”

C: “Well…. Would you want to come at bar with me or something?”

They seemed to go well along at work together, they both worked at one coffee shop. Colin had just started working there two weeks ago, Jared had had this job for a year already.

J:”You know what? I actually knew you’d ask me that, hahah! And yes, I can come”

C:”mmmh okay, hah.  Cool.”

They settled a meeting at one movie theater that was next to a restaurant where they were about to go eat first before going to bar.

There was a night at city center tonight when all the stores had extra hours to be open. It was only once in a year and it was called “Dark business night”. Silly name, but it was cool and it was fun for the citizens in this town.

It was 9:30pm now and Jared hopped up from the chair and started to make himself ready so he could make it to next bus that could take him to city center. He had 10 minutes to make it to bus stop.

Jared put on a nice, design –hoodie, pants and shoes. He started to re-style his hair, he totally wasn’t planning anything on this night. But he could do anything for Colin. Jared had so rarely friends at the moment. His all friends had either left from his life for a reason or another, and some of them lived in another city, miles away. He had had rough year, Jared had suffered from depression and broke up with his last boyfriend Dean.

Jared had a little thought, was he having a crush on Colin. Probably. Now, this night, it could be great to figure it out did he or not. But he thought it was obvious. He just needed to be sure of his feelings.

Normally Jared had great  ‘gay-dar’, but Colin was harder to read. Maybe that was the thing that interested Jared to come closer and figure him out more.

He looked on clock. “Oh my god- Fuck! Oh well… I can walk. Not a biggie, it’s just couple of miles.” Jared thought. He just missed his bus.

 It took about thirty minutes to forty minutes to get to where Jared and Colin were meant to meet. Glad they were supposed to meet 10pm and not any earlier than that. Otherwise he would have been late from meeting.

He stopped walking for a second to light a cigarette and then continued. Jared took a look on clock on phone screen, he counted that he would be at the theater in next fifteen minutes if he walked slower, and in ten if he continued this speed, so he slowed down his rapid walking.

He put his hand in pocket of his hoodie while he finished smoking the cigarette and tossed it away. Some young women who passed him by, looked at him curiously and whispered something to each other. One of them even winked at him but he didn’t give a damn. All he could now think of was Colin and all the possibilities of what could happen tonight with him.

He came closer to theater and saw a man with dark hair standing nearby. He smoked a cigarette like Jared while ago. “Hey, man” Colin greeted him. “Hi” Jared replied and made a little slanted smile. He noticed that Colin returned that smile.

“Shall we ?” Colin lead the way to up the door that leaded to restaurant. Jared followed. “Hello!” A tall blonde haired waitress greeted them. “Hey, uh..table for two, please”, Colin requested.

Waitress leaded Jared and Colin to only table and gave them their menu’s. “What would you like to drink?”, she asked, pen steady to write on notes. “Um… Give me just a large coke” Colin replied glancing up to waitress. “Okey, and you?” she responded and then looked at Jared. “same as he, please”, he said.

“Thank you”, and then she hurried behind counter.

She was back in a minute. She put down their drinks and then she was away again.

Jared glanced to counter and saw a good-looking bartender. A man bartender, to be accurate. “Damn that bartender is hot”, he said to Colin to just start conversation. “Mmmh, she is indeed”, Colin thought it was the blondie that just served them minute ago. “Oh.. No, I mean that guy with short dark hair with sidecut”, Jared blushed a little. “Ohhh”, Colin replied lifting his eyebrows glancing at the man behind the counter.

It was a bit awkward now, at least for Jared, he felt so. So he cut the silence. “You didn’t know I like guys too?” “Well, it doesn’t show on your looks really”, Colin looked at Jared and smiled. “But I don’t mean it bothers, not at all. It’s cool”. And then he glanced away with a smirk. “Did I just came out of closet to him?” Jared thought. “Yup, I did”. He was waiting a different expression like from everyone else, that he had came out to. When Jared didn’t reply anything and he seemed a bit confused, Colin continued; “It’s kinda cute though, suits you”.

They ordered something simple and small meals to eat. They ordered fries with two dips. After Colin and Jared had eaten their fries, they ordered their checks and they were ready to go.

At outside Colin said he needed another smoke and offered Jared one cigarette. He took it and Colin borrowed his lighter to him.

“They do you want to go?”, he asked from Jared. “what ever, you choose” Jared shrugged.

“Well umm.. There’s one bar nearby that has cheap drinks, it’s that way” Colin pondered and pointed to his left. “Mm okay.” And they started walking. Just in a minute and they were at a bar.

They finished their cigarettes and paid few coins to get in the bar to bouncer.

They took way to downstairs where were the main room of the bar and went to counter. They took beers from faucet and went to seek a free table. They found one almost instantly and sat down.

There wasn’t so much people at bar yet. It was 30 minutes past midnight.

They glance around to other people. Jared noticed Colin wasn’t interested in others much. He rather talked to Jared and Jared himself to Colin but at times he took a look if someone passed by. Colin had actually better place to see everyone but he didn’t watch others as much as Jared. Jared tried to look like he was interested in some women around there.

When Colin noticed, he always tried to make up a conversation. A new song started, it was quite danceable, and Colin leaned forward over the table to say something to Jared. “Come, dance with me?” it was actually request than a question. “I don’t know…” Jared tried to make up a reason to not go but Colin insisted. He took a hold on Jareds back and leaded him to dance floor where were like 15 other people also.

They moved along the music a while. Each song lasted at least four to five minutes. It was regular at bar where you had a chance to dance.  

In the middle of dancing they went to sit for a while and ordered more drinks. Few shots also. And then Jared got into dancing more. Colin was pleased that even once Jared asked him back on floor.

During one song, Colin looked straight into Jareds eyes, he leaned towards him more. Jared was so into music and didn’t notice Colin moving closer to him. Colin was cautious but he slowly and carefully placed his hands on Jareds hips while moving to music. When he was sure Jared didn’t try to move away and also Jared himself touched on Colins arms to say through this move, he gave him his permission to keep a hold. They moved together to music. Maybe some of the dancers and people at bar tables were watching but Jared didn’t give a damn. Neither didn’t Colin. Colin moved his head closer to Jared. For his surprise, Jared pressed his lips on Colins before he could do this. It was his plan but Jared was faster.

Shivers went through Jareds body from head to toes.

They got lost in kiss in the middle of dance floor.

 “Wow”, he thought.
