After getting out of the shower and doing his hair up in a nice little faux-hawk, Leon walked out of the bathroom in nothing but a towel. He started rummaging through his closet for something decent to wear to the party.
“Hey gorgeous, what’s up?” Avery said, who must have finally woken up. Leon didn’t even bother turning around- he was too preoccupied with what to wear.
“We’re going to a party tonight. You’re husky friend Sebastian invited us.” Leon told him, looking at a variety of different shirts.
“You met him?” Avery asked, shocked. Leon finally decided on a green and black striped v-neck and a pair of skinny shorts.
“Yeah, dude,” Leon said, walking over to his dresser to grab a pair of underwear. “I went to the fitness center and shot some hoops with him. He’s a pretty chill dude.” He put on his clothes, not bothering to cover himself- Avery had seen him naked before, and he honestly didn’t care.
“Oh, that’s cool,” Avery replied, staring up at the ceiling. “What all did he have to say?”
“Oh, nothing much. We just bull shitted, talked about school and everything,” Leon told him. “And he also told me that you’re really cute and he hopes to see you there.” Leon said to him with a smile.
“Seriously? “ Avery said in disbelief. “I thought for sure he would be pissed that I had to leave early.”
“He wasn’t pissed, just a little disappointed. “ Leon said. “And on that note, why did you have leave early?” He asked, seriously wanting to know. Why Avery would leave a hot guy like Sebastian, Leon would never understand.
“It was my mom. She called about some bullshit going on with my dad. Don’t worry about it.” Avery told him.
“Oh, okay. “ Leon said, knowing that when Avery didn’t want to talk about something he didn’t. “So, we’re going to this party. Get up and get ready.” Leon told Avery, smiling at the other. Avery obeyed, getting up out of bed, and changing his clothes. Avery had decided on a purple tank top and a pair of jean shorts.
“How do I look?” Avery asked. “I want to look good for Sebastian.” He laughed a little bit.
“You look great, dude. Just do something with your hair. It’s all over the fucking place.” Leon grabbed his cell phone, and put it in his pocket.
Avery grabbed a brush from the bathroom, and quickly combed through his hair. “Better?” Avery asked.
“Yeah, much better.” Leon told him. He felt his phone vibrate in his pocket. “Oh, I bet that’s Sebastian texting me.” He took out his phone, and read the text.
It’s time for the party; I’m outside of your dorm.
“Seriously?” Leon said.
“Yes, seriously.” Came Sebastian’s voice from outside the door. “You going to let me in?”
Leon chuckled, and opened the door. There stood Sebastian in a plain black t-shirt and a pair of jeans.
“Looking good, Leon.” Sebastian told him with a wink. Avery walked out of the bathroom, and waved at the husky.
“You too, Avery.” Sebastian winked at Avery, causing him to turn a little red, and the husky walked into the dorm. “So, you guys ready to go?”
“Hell yeah, dude. I love parties.” Leon said, excited to go out and mingle.
“Yeah, I’m ready. This party seems like it will be pretty rad.” Avery said.
“You and your fucking hipster lingo,” Sebastian said with a laugh. “It’s cute, really.” He smiled, and Avery blushed a little bit.
“So, let’s bounce.” Leon said. And with that, they all got up and headed towards the party. Leon was more than excited to mingle and drink a little- he was planning on having a great time.
“There’s where the party will be at.” Sebastian said, pointing at a large fraternity. Leon eyed the building up and down. There were Greek letters on them, but, unfortunately, Leon didn’t know any of the Greek letters.
“Here we are: Alpha Beta Zeta.” Sebastian told him, and Leon was relieved that he had discovered what the name of the frat was rather quickly.
“Awesome.” Was all Leon said, excited to mingle with some of his peers.
“Looks like a pretty big party.” Avery said. The music could be heard from outside; it was blaring so loudly they could probably here it across campus. The three walked in, and looked around. People of all species, sizes, and sex were all around. Leon had never been in such a diverse place before.
“Well, let’s go get hammered!” Sebastian yelled, running over to the keg and pouring all of them a drink.
“Is there any PBR?” Avery asked.
“Like I fucking know, just drink the damn beer.” Sebastian said with a smile, chugging his down quickly. He wiped his mouth. “It tastes delicious either way.” Leon chugged his, and poured himself another drink.
‘Well, might as well enjoy myself.’ Leon thought, walking around the party, trying to find some interesting people to talk to. It wasn’t too hard to find interesting people; they all were. But they were all in groups, and he didn’t want to just barge in on a group.
He finished off his second cup of beer, and saw people doing shots in the kitchen. And, deciding to join them, walks in and introduces himself to the hoard of drunk people.
“Hey there, Leon. What’s up?” An otter asked him, wrapping an arm around his shoulders. The stench of alcohol was fierce on his breath, and Leon replied casually.
“Not much, just wondering if I could join you guys in some shots.” Leon said. The otter vigorously shook his head- it was rather obvious that he had had way too much, but that he had no intention of stopping anytime soon.
“How about a drinking contest?” He heard Sebastian say from across the room.
“Oh hey, dude.” Leon said, not even noticing him beforehand. “And fuck yeah! I’ll drink your ass under the table.” He said, getting more comfortable with the situation. Ten shots were poured for each of them, and Leon looked at the clear liquid in the shot glasses.
“Vodka?” Leon asked.
“Fuck yeah.” The otter said, who had poured the drinks. Leon and Sebastian both grabbed a glass, and drank it with one quick gulp.
“One for one!” The otter said, getting overly excited. They did again and again, until all ten shots were gone.
Leon’s mind was cloudy, he couldn’t stand in one place with swaying all over the place, and his thoughts were anything but normal.
‘Look at Sebastian over there. God damn is he fucking sexy.’ Leon thought. But he quickly snapped out of that train of thought. Or, at least he tried to.
“Whoa, looks like we have a tie.” The otter said. “Unless you two want to keep going.”
“I’m good.” Sebastian said, holding up his hand and letting out a large belch.
“Me too.” Leon agreed. “I’m going to go outside and get some fresh air.” He headed towards the back door, and onto the porch.
“Hold up, I’m coming, too.” Sebastian said. The two of them walked out the door, stumbling the whole way.
“Dude, you can fucking drink.” Leon said, looking at the other dead in the eyes.
“So can you.” Sebastian said looking back. The two of them stared awkwardly at each other before Leon moved in a little bit. Sebastian did the same. They continued to stare at each other.
‘I like his eyes. They’re such a pretty blue.’ Leon thought. Sebastian moved in a little closer. Leon did, too.
This continued until their faces were a mere few inches from each other. And they just stood there like for what seemed like an eternity to Leon, but that was probably the alcohol. The smell of vodka was strong on Sebastian’s breath, and Leon could only imagine what his smelled like.
‘Holy fuck, I want to kiss him.’ Leon thought. But he couldn’t work up the nerve- even the alcohol couldn’t help him get passed his anxiety.
‘Fuck me, I’m such a pussy.’ Leon thought, laughing at himself because, as a panther, he literally pussy.
“What’s so funny?” Sebastian asked.
“Oh, no-” Leon started to say, but he was cut off by Sebastian capturing his muzzle in a kiss. Leon didn’t fight it though. He kissed the other back, and his arms wrapped around the others neck as his tail wrapped around Sebastian’s waist.
Leon was in ecstasy.
He was so into the kiss he didn’t even notice Avery standing at the door with tears starting to well up in his eyes. The hurt little lion boy quickly turned away and stormed off to his dorm room.
