----------

Not Like The Other Girls

    Lauri stepped down the short flight of stairs, his eyes adjusting to the dim light of the club.  In one hand, he held his invitation; a simple black card with his name hand-written on one side, and a gold 'S' on the other.  In his other hand he held a half-finished cigarette.
    He pocketed the invitation card, having already flashed it to the guy at the door.  He then finished his cigarette in one long drag, placing it in a nearby ashtray.
    His entire band had been invited, of course, but Pauli and Eero had said they wanted to make an early night of it.  Even Aki had deserted him.  Not only had Aki refused to come along; he had actually tried to talk Lauri out of going himself.
    Wet blankets, all of them.  It was like some terrible conspiracy, the purpose of which seemed to be to make his evening dull.  Out of the four of them, only Lauri had been curious enough to actually attend the party.  Unsolicited invites were always worth checking out.
    The party didn't seem, on the face of things, to be anything special.  It wasn't really a goth crowd, but most of those in attendance were wearing dark colors.  And Lauri was no exception.  He had opted for a simple outfit; black shirt, blank pants, black shoes, not to mention black eye makeup...  And, of course, black feathers in his hair.
    The last detail was the only thing that made him stand out.  As he looked around the place, he determined that this wasn't a collection of musicians.  Nor, indeed, was it a collection of his fans; as no one seemed to recognize him.
    After making the short trip to the bar, and ordering a drink, he took stock of his situation.  Bereft of his band mates, he had no one to talk to.  So, there was nothing for it, he would just have to find someone -a cute someone- to spend his evening with.  And hopefully his night, as well.
    After a few scans of the room, he spotted the perfect thing.  Against the far wall, amongst a small cluster of other people, stood a very pretty young thing.  Short and thin, wearing a cute little black dress, with rather short, black hair.
    *She's perfect.* Lauri thought.
    His quarry was standing with five others, but she didn't seem to be joining in their conversation.  Lauri finished his drink and left the bar, traveling towards the girl's position in an arc, rather than a straight line.  He did his best to keep his eyes on her, while still making sure he didn't make himself look stupid by running into someone.
    Eventually he reached his destination.  He stood against the back wall of the club, only a dozen or so steps away from her.  She had seen him looking at her, as he crossed the room, but she returned her attention back to the conversation her friends were having as soon as he noticed.
    Lauri knew he must be within her peripheral vision, but she stubbornly refused to look in his direction.  But, rather than allow himself to become frustrated, he resolved to wait patiently.  Eventually, she would look in his direction, or else walk off in the other; in which case he would have to find someone else to undress with his eyes.
    His patience paid off a few minutes later, when she finally glanced over at him.  His eyes, which had been down cast, flicked up to meet hers.  As a small, timid, smile crept onto her face, he allowed himself to smile shyly in return.
    When she turned back to her companions, Lauri held his breath, thinking she was going to ignore him again.  But, after exchanging a few quick words with the others, she turned back towards him.  So did one of the men she had been talking to.  He gave Lauri a somewhat less than friendly look, and spoke a few more words in the girl's ear, before she moved away from the small group.
    "Hi." She said, simply, as she reached the spot where Lauri waited.
    *Wow.*  Lauri was struck at once by the nasal quality of her voice.  *Mmm.  Sexy.*
    "Hi." He replied.  "Can I get you a drink?"
    "Sure." She said.  "Bloody Mary."
    "I'll be right back." He said.  He hurried back to the bar, taking the direct path this time.  He ordered her Bloody Mary, and, on a sudden impulse, a Cock Sucking Cowboy for himself.  A horrible conversation piece, perhaps, but he felt daring at that moment.
    He returned to their place by the back wall, and handed the girl her drink.  She thanked him, then proceeded to pull the celery stick out of her drink.  She placed the stick in her mouth, slowly wrapping her lips around it.  She pulled it deep into her mouth, licking it clean.  Then -like a scene from a Leslie Nielson movie- as she pulled the celery stick back out, she suddenly bit the end off of it.
    Feeling a sudden need for it, Lauri swallowed his drink in one go.
    "What was that?" She asked, nodding towards his now empty glass.
    "Cock Sucker-" Lauri began, and quickly spluttered to a stop, coughing.
    "Excuse me?!" The girl said.
    Lauri closed his eyes in sudden embarrassment, his cheeks becoming red.  "Cock Sucking Cowboy." He finally forced himself to say.
    "Oh," She said.  "I prefer the Clit Licking Cowgirl, myself."
    Lauri stared at her in amazement for a second, before beginning to laugh, albeit nervously.  It didn't make him feel any more at ease, when he caught sight of the girl's friend once again giving him a nasty look.
    "I don't think your friend approves..." Lauri muttered.
    The girl glanced back at her friends.  "Oh, him?" She said, dismissively.  "That's just Xav.  Don't mind him, he's just been asked to keep an eye on me is all."
    "Asked..." Lauri began, hesitantly.  "By your boyfriend, or something?"
    "Boyfriend?  Oh, no.  Just my husbands."
    It was a good thing Lauri had already finished off his drink, or he would surely have sprayed it all over her.
    "Husbands?" He said, coughing.
    "My two best friends." She explained.  "I just call them that."
    "Oh." Lauri said, recovering slightly.  "Uh..."  He suddenly couldn't think of anything to say.  *Very impressive, Ylonen.  Very impressive, indeed.* He told himself.  *You're not going to be seeing any action tonight, you witless wonder.*
    "Shall we go somewhere more private?" The girl said, breaking his train of thought.
    "Err-Sure." He replied; trying at once to sound both interested, and to not sound desperate.  *A careful balance, not easily maintained.*
    The girl led him along the back wall, in the opposite direction from her friends, until they came to a door.  She opened the door, and pulled him in with her.
    Lauri tried to make his eyes adjust, so that he could see in the darkness; which was much deeper than that of the main part of the club.  But, his eyes didn't seem able to find enough light.  He had no idea where they were, or how large a room it was.  If it was a room; for all he could tell, it might have been a hallway instead.
    Apparently, the girl had better night vision than Lauri.  She pulled him along behind her, as they went ever deeper into whatever part of the building they were in.
    Not being able to see where his feet were, Lauri eventually tripped himself up slightly.  He put out a hand to steady himself, and discovered they were quiet near a wall.  As he righted himself, he felt around in the opposite direction; his hand encountered another wall.  It was now clear to him that they were in a hallway.
    He heard, rather than saw, the girl opening another door.  The room they entered was dimly lit, but at least he could see his surroundings again.  This room appeared to be a dining room.  There were circular tables set up throughout, and a small bar set against the wall just to their right.
    The girl dragged him over to the bar, and perched herself on one of the stools.
    "So?" She said.  "Is this better?"
    "It's certainly private..." He allowed, smiling.
    She reached out one slender arm, and placed her hand on the back of his neck.  Though Lauri did not resist, he was surprised at the strength with which she pulled him closer.  She pressed her lips to his, and soon her tongue found its way into his mouth.
    *Mmm...* He thought.  *An aggressive girl...  Very nice.*
    Deciding it was time he did something himself, he placed one hand on her knee and began moving it slowly upwards.  He placed his other hand at the small of her back, and moved it downwards.
    Just as he was beginning to feel like the aggressor, however, she surprised him again; by slipping her free hand down the front of his pants.  The shock from this sudden move caused Lauri's breath to catch in his throat.
    She seemed to take no notice of his reaction.  She stroked his rapidly hardening cock a few times, then gripped it firmly.
    "Very nice." She commented, in a sultry tone.
    He laughed, sheepishly.  "Thanks..." He muttered.
    "And what's under here?" She asked, fingering his shirt.
    Without waiting for a reply, she attacked each of his shirt buttons in rapid succession until they were all undone.  She ran her hands over his well defined chest.
    "Wow..." She breathed.
    He gave another self conscious smile, though he doubted she could see it all that clearly.
    Without warning, she latched her mouth onto one of his nipples.
    "Oh!" He gasped, clutching at the bar for support.
    She sucked at his chest for many long moments, before switching to his other nipple.
    *Damn she's good!* He thought.
    She pulled off of his chest, gasping slightly.
    "I'm sorry..." She said, slightly out of breath.  "I can't wait any longer..."  She turned around on the bar stool, so that she was facing away from him.  "You're so hot..." She went on.  "Fuck me!  Fuck my ass!"
    He blinked slightly.  It wasn't exactly what he hand been planning, but he wasn't about to argue.  Reaching into his pocket, he pulled out a condom, and tore it open with his teeth.  He supposed it was a good thing he had bought the lubricated ones...
    He unzipped, and put the condom on, while the girl lifted up her dress, and pulled her panties down just enough to give him access.  He put his arms around her; placing one hand on her chest, and the other on her stomach.  As he entered her, she gave a quiet moan of pleasure and pain.
    It crossed Lauri's mind, briefly, that she was rather flat chested.  But what did that matter, she was a wild sexy thing.  As he bucked his hips forward, she pressed her ass backwards.  After a short while, she allowed his thrusts to push her almost all the way off the bar stool.
    Having apparently gotten as far forward as she wanted to be, she put out a hand to brace herself against the bar.  Her other hand moved down to her crotch, to finger herself.
    As her moans became higher in pitch and volume, he sped up his rhythm.  Finally, she reached the point of climax, and let out a scream so loud, Lauri was surprised no one came to investigate.  With one last thrust, Lauri also came.
    He slumped forward, resting on the girl's back for a moment.  Once he had caught his breath, he pulled out of her.  He peeled the condom off, and threw it into the trash behind the bar.  He came back and sat on the stool next to hers.
    "That was awesome..." He said, quietly.  He felt beads of sweat all over his face.  He suddenly felt, as if for the first time, just how stuffy the room was.  Clearly, the air conditioning wasn't running in this part of the building.
    "I liked it too..." She said, smiling at him.
    "I don't think I've ever met a girl quite like you..." Lauri muttered, half to himself.  "You...  You're not like the other girls..."
    He could just barely make out her face.  She raised her eyebrows at him.  Lauri suddenly realized something.  *Shit!* He thought.  *You moron!*
    "I'm so sorry," He said to her.  "I totally forgot to ask you your name..."
    She smiled, and offered him her hand.  "I'm Brian." She said, watching his face go slack with shock.  "Brian Molko."
    Brian sat across from Lauri, sucking slowly at another bloody mary.  He eyed the other man with slight concern.  Lauri hadn't spoken hardly at all, as Brian led him back to the populated areas of the club.
    They were seated at a small two person table, on the balcony area; which over looked the main floor.  The balcony wasn't empty, but it offered a certain degree of privacy.
    "How..." Lauri muttered, still looking only at the table.  "How could I have not recognized you..."
    If this was truly a question, it was a question Lauri was asking himself.  That much was clear to Brian.  Nevertheless, Brian felt compelled to offer an answer.
    "Maybe..." Brian began, hesitantly.  "You only saw what you wanted to see, what you were expecting to see..."
    Lauri made no audible response.
    Brian felt uneasy.  He examined his polished finger nails.
    "I..." Lauri began, but instantly trailed off into silence.
    Brian decided if the conversation was going to survive, he would be the one who had to give it the kiss of life.
    "Look..." Brian began.  "I understand you're upset...  I've had guys fuck me before, and not realize I wasn't a girl.  Though it hasn't happened for a while..."  Brian wasn't sure if Lauri was actually paying attention to him.
    "Some of them freaked out..." Brian continued.  "I'm really glad you haven't tried to kill me..."  He forced a smile onto his face.  "I'm sorry that I'm such a twat; always dressing to confuse and all that...
    "But if people would just be more open minded, this kind of stuff wouldn't be a problem..." Brian said, and suddenly realized he was stepping up onto his soap box.
    Lauri abruptly looked up, meeting Brian's eyes for the first time in nearly fifteen minutes.  Brian held his breath, worried that he might have provoked a reaction he wasn't looking for.
    "It's not that." Lauri stated, simply.
    Brian wasn't sure what to make of the statement, so he waited.
    "I've slept with guys before..." Lauri continued.  "I don't have a problem with that."
    "Oh." Brian said, surprised.  Clearly, he had misread the situation.
    "I just can't believe I was that blind..." Lauri said.  "I've..."  Lauri broke off, his cheeks flushing slightly.  "I've actually admired you from afar..."
    Brian felt his own cheeks becoming warm.
    "I guess," Lauri said.  "In a way, it's good I didn't recognized you...  I would have made a total prat of myself, if I'd known it was you."
    Brian smiled.  "Really...?  That's...  Sweet."
    Lauri returned Brian's smile.
    "So...?" Brian said, at length.  "Wanna come back to mine?"
    Lauri's smile broadened.  "Sure." He said, shyly.
    They got up from the table, and started making their way out of the club.  Brian mentioned that he had to make a quick stop, to tell Xav he was off.
    "I just have one question..." Lauri said, as they headed down the stairs.  "What does this 'S' on the back of the invite card stand for?"
    "Slash." Brian replied.  "This is a slash club."

THE END.
