the alcohol is starting to kick in and a pleasant hum now accompanies the lightheadedness as taehyung sways through the throng of swaying bodies, aimlessly wandering towards an open spot on the dance floor.

taehyung manages to slip passed the tightly knit pack of drunken masses, planting his feet onto the ground and letting his body move to the beat and flow of the bass pounding into his ears.

technicolor lights flash from above, music blasting out loud enough to shake the foundations of the building as taehyung slowly loses himself to the atmosphere.

his eyes slip shut of their own accord, adrenaline rushing through his blood stream in a mixture of alcohol and music that drives his pulse to race even faster.

taehyung slowly moves his hips in a rhythmic motion, head rolling back on his shoulders as sweat slicked skin presses in on him from every side, pushing his body to move in unison to the crowds around him until a pair of warm hands gently slide onto his waist.

“wanna dance?” a voice inquires as soft lips press into taehyung’s ear.

curious, taehyung glances over his shoulder to find soft curved eyes and pretty lips smiling back at him.

“sure,” he nods in response, eyes traveling up the graceful slope of the stranger’s nose. “i’m taehyung, by the way.”

“hoseok,” he replies, gummy grin widening just a little bit more. and taehyung can’t help but find himself drawn into the warmth of his smile.

he can feel the heat of hoseok’s hands burning through the fabric of his shirt, guiding him backwards until he’s pressed flush against a hard body that taehyung is certain must be all perfectly cut lines and lean muscle, maybe like something out of a gq magazine.

taehyung gyrates his hips in a circular motion, hoseok moving in sync to the gentle roll of taehyung’s body that flows with the rhythm of the music.

grinding his ass back to press their bodies even closer, taehyung slides his hands over the base of hoseok’s neck to curl his fingers into the soft strands of his hair.

taehyung can feel hoseok’s breath fanning out across the back of his neck, quickly followed by a warm mouth pressing into the crook of his neck as he tilts his head a little bit more to provide better access.

his fingers tighten into a fist, yanking just a little bit too hard in his overexcitement to guide hoseok’s face down and mesh their lips together at an awkward angle.

taehyung can hear the blood rushing in his ears, chest rising and falling in shallow pants as hoseok suddenly spins him around and crashes their open mouths together in a sloppy kiss, all teeth and tongue moving furiously against each other.

he can taste the bitter aftertaste of alcohol on hoseok’s breath, can smell the sharp tang of it in the air all around. and it has his head spinning even more.

the room is starting reel, the floor beneath him attempting to slip away from under his feet.

taehyung wraps his arms around hoseok’s shoulders, just as much to keep the other close as much as to keep himself steady. their bodies continue to sway gently from side to side as hoseok slides his hands around taehyung’s waist, gazing into his eyes and leaning in to press a chaste kiss onto his lips.

“hey, what are you doing after this?” hoseok asks over the music, taehyung resting his cheek on hoseok’s shoulder in an attempt to regain his balance.

“um,” taehyung thinks. “nothing? why?”

“wanna get some breakfast with me?”

“it’s three in the morning,” taehyung replies, eyes still shut against the dizziness.

“they have twenty-four hour pancake houses,” hoseok shrugs. “breakfast is delicious any time of the day. i’ll pay?”

“why not,” taehyung can’t help the smile that stretches across his face. “i’m starved anyways.”
