Choose Your Own Adventure (Yaoi style!)

[This fic is now complete, but I may rewrite and flesh out part sof it when I get the chance!]

"Hey, cat-ears! Get over here!"

I groaned under my breath as he put several drinks on his tray.

"Those ignorant slobs!" said Trace beside me, as she glared across the bar at the table of overgrown ludites in the corner. "Let me take them their drinks - and accidentally spill them in their stupid laps!"

With a chuckle I shook my head. "It's ok. I'm used to it."

"Ferd, you shouldn't have to get used to stuff like that!"

I shrugged and Trace gave me an exasperated look as I stepped away, carefully balancing the beers on my tray. Why anyone drank the stuff, I'd never know. But more beer meant more tips. I ignored the fact it tended to mean more insults or come-ons as well.

"Here you boys go," I said, setting the drinks before them.

One of the bruisers at the table grinned and elbowed the guy next to him, telling him in a voice way too loud, "You're right, he does have a nice ass!"

Right, 'cause you can see my ass somehow from the front? Ugh. They weren't even being clever with the teasing tonight.

"I didn't say that!" his friend sputtered. His refusal made me take notice of him. He was built like a brickyard the same as the others, but his green eyes and flushed face actually looked embarrassed. Huh. I didn't think any of this lot were capable of shame.

"Yow!" I screeched and nearly jumped a mile as my ass was pinched.

"Definitely a nice ass," said the cretin to my right as he leaned back in his chair.

I glared. Not that it would do any good, but I wasn't going to act complain either. They were walking a fine line now. I had half a mind to report them to the manager.

"Don’t. Touch," I said, flicking his ear. It only made him laugh. It was hard to remember that normal ears didn't have the same sensitivity mine did.

Then they all went back to their conversation and their beers. I turned away—but caught the shame-faced big boy watching me. I narrowed my eyes and turned away.

"How long 'til closing?" I asked Trace as I passed her. She shook her head.

An hour later last call had wrapped up and the bar light blared to life. The last few bodies shuffled out of their chairs and made for the door. Not a moment to soon, either. Tonight was one of the few nights Alister had played until closing and I would have a chance to talk with him. Hopefully more than talk to him, if the kiss I'd gotten last week was anything to go by! I watched him out of the corner of my eye as he packed up his gear. Black, silky hair, ivory skin, and those frost-blue eyes that could see through the dark. I shivered and bit my lip, trying not to spill water as I washed the beer mugs.

"Hey, someone's got his eye on you!"

I startled and Trace laughed. "Don't sneak up on me!"

"You should be able to hear me, cat-boy," she teased with a wink. She never meant it the way the others did, and I gave her a smile. Then her words sunk in. "Wait, what?"

I glanced at Alister, but he was still focused on clearing up the stage.

"Over there." Trace pointed to the back corner and I blinked. The big guy who's flushed so much at his friend's words was loitering there. His eyes looked up, met mine, and flickered away.

"What's he want?"

"One guess," Trace said, waggling her eyebrows.

"Yeah, right." I rolled my eyes at her.

"Hey, I can tell. He's been watching you all-"

"Ferd, you heading out?"

I looked over my shoulder and saw Alister standing there with a come-hither smile.

Trace walked off to wipe down the bar and I stood there, glancing between Alister's sexy grin and the big lug eying me with bashful attention.

I opened my mouth and said....
