One Night (boyxboy)

19:00

A flash of bright blue caught his eye.

He searched for it through the crowd but it was gone.

It had been so bright, so clear, unlike anything he had seen before.

He shook his head, disregarding his thought.

Clearly it hadn't been anything.

Just a side effect from the alcohol.

Speaking of which, he took another drink.

The music was loud, almost deafening.

He could focus on what was immediately in front of him.

A group of people he barely knew.

He smiled as they talked, pretending to be interested.

They smiled back.

He moved away.

Into the kitchen to find another drink.

He didn't see the boy stood in the doorway.

They bumped into each other.

They mumbled apologies.

He tried to move around the boy but the alcohol made it hard to move in a straight line.

He saw the boy smile.

Bright white teeth, grinning.

He smiled back.

Then he looked into the boys eyes.

And his breath left him.
