"It Has Always Been You " Chapter 37 - In The Club (Nifty/Gay/Highschool)

It was a quietude casually walked toward the bus stand. They were not in a
very awkward position, but more of a blissful silence. Both were grinning
while walking side by side without a single word spoken to each other. Once
in a while they both would secretly take a glance at one another, noted
each other unusual gaiety. They're tempted to hold hands, but as they knew
it's a bad idea for any public display of affection on their part, which
would gain many unwarranted stares and attractions in their town.



Mikael will be more at ease if they were to hold hands or even kissing in
public. Nevertheless, he had to restrain his temptation for the sake of
Nick insanity of these gay things Nick had just experienced. Not exactly on
the sexual experience, as they had done it lots of times, but more on the
emotional experience as Nick had outed himself to Mikael openly but not to
the public. Mikael was going to treasure the moment and to enjoy that very
night with Nick would be good enough and be acceptable feelings within him.


Nick was undoubtedly sure of his feeling towards Mikael, and he knew that
he was doing the right thing to accept what was true to his heart. He did
surprise him with his confession by professing his feelings to Mikael. It's
totally out of his character as he knew, from the beginning of their
friendship, he was absolutely against it and hated in associating himself
with sinful feelings towards another boy. However, as the more time he
spent with Mikael, and how much of he has been missing him when they were
not together, he had somehow begun to develop the love, compassion and
affection sentiment towards Mikael.



One thing for sure, he would never ever compare his love to Amy and his
love for Mikael. As the days passed by, his love for Mikael had grown to a
stage where he would get jealous even for Mikael to spend his time with
other people, especially if it was a guy. The time when Mikael was with
Drake, his hormonal jealousy was so intense that he nearly had a blowout
with Drake. However, for now, he knew he had to do the toughest task at
hand, that is to break up with Amy. She was the only hindrance for Mikael
and him to have a full-blown romance, and yet he still had to find a
concrete reason to break up with her.



In the Club.


Amy had arrived alone as per suggested by Nick and got to enter the
club. She was beyond skeptical about why Nick had asked her to come to the
club. For as long as she had known Nick, he was not a big fan of doing
clubbing. The last time they ever hang out in this club was when they were
all there to support Mikael, when he was still a part-time resident disc
jockey.


She wondered, if Mikael was doing another gig at the club again, and Nick
wanted to be there to support him as he usually did? Did she really care
for a slightest reason to be there and support the one person that put her
in a whirlwind relationship with Nick? Nevertheless, for the night, her
main objectives of motive and focus were to enjoy and spend the night with
her boyfriend whom she had missed so much as all of his time spent, was
with Mikael. She's not going to let herself be emotionally strained and to
let the past be past, for a while, and to have some quality time with Nick.


She started to walk deeper into the club as it was beginning to get crowded
with night patrons. Most of them were guys in groupies, drinking and
smoking on the crowded floor. She tried to look for some familiar faces
among the crowd when she heard her name being called out loud. She scanned
the entire floor and got a huge surprised when her eyes met with Drake, and
that instantly brought a smile on her face. She just could not believe that
Drake would ever care to show his self back here again after the drama that
he had caused with Mikael. However, she was ever glad to see him again.



"Hey Drake, what are you doing here?" Amy was genuinely extremely delighted
to see Drake once again. "Are you running away from Montana once more?" Amy
chided with Drake. For that moment, she had forgotten to all of her worries
in regard to Nick and Mikael.



"It is nice to see you again too Amy." Drake was also excited to see her
once more, as it is clearly shown on his face. "And no, I am not running
away from anything, but rather, I've gotten invited to do a weekend
showcase as a guest DJ here, at the club." However, as he was talking
nonchalantly with Amy, he did notice one thing, of Nick not being around
with her at the club. He could only guess the reason. Nevertheless, he
prevented himself from asking Amy of the real situation of her and Nick.



"I am seriously glad to see you again Drake. It had been awhile since
you've gone back home to Montana after what had happened between you and
Mikael." Amy was sincere with her remark on seeing Drake that night. Over
time, they somehow became a good friend due to their love life turmoil with
their respective boyfriends, in the past. "Are you going to see or meet
with Mikael anytime soon?" She did sound hopeful that he would. Since she
knew that if Drake ever got to convince Mikael to love him once again, Nick
would be back to be more attentive to her and all.



"I've already done this morning. Even so, I was rather surprised to see
Nick there with his hostility towards me." Drake pulled Amy away from the
robust crowd and walked towards an empty table, specially set aside for the
guest DJ. As Amy sat comfortably down on the high chair provided, Drake
went over to the bar counter and grabbed drinks for them both. He got a
beer for himself and a Bloody Mary's for Amy. She was thankful for the
drinks, and they sat down, side by side of each other, to talk and to catch
up on each other love life progress.


"What? He really did that to you? I wonder why Drake. However, over the
time, lately Nick and Mikael had grown closer to each other than ever
before. And they had been spending time together, more than I am with
Nick." Amy took a deep breath, "Nick had said that he did own Mikael's big
time, for the way he had treated Mikael all this while." Amy sounded
dejected and Drake did take notice it.

"You do not think that they might be hooking up with each other?" Drake was
only assuming for things to happen between Nick and Mikael. And he's just
pulling on Amy's leg to lighten up the downward emotional Amy's way of
conversing.



"What? Are you kidding with me Drake?" Amy could not believe in what she
was hearing from Drake's mouth. " That definitely cannot be happening in a
million years, as Nick is straight as an arrow, and he will never ever be
going to open himself to love a guy." For that very moment, Amy was
speaking rather loudly, as she was fuming mad with Drake. How dare for him
to ever, think of Nick that way.

"Well, it's just an assumption Amy, and an arrow are not always
straight. By the way, they are with each other constantly; it won't be a
surprised, if Nick and Mikael already have se...." Drake was jolted from
his seat as he suddenly got cut off midway in his speech.


"Fuck you Drake. Just shut the fuck up will you." Drake laughed when he saw
Amy, who was sitting next to him with a looked that could kill. She was
really very angry with Drake, to ever, came out with that type of
assumption. She definitely did not quite hide the fact that she was
furious, with the mad expression portrayed on her face.


"Well, Amy, you do not have to be hostile like they do. Do you?" Drake
tried to get Amy to calm down. He practically knew, how sensitive to these
types of conversation was with Amy. Silently, he knew that he was just
stating the truth, from the way he had looked obvious scenario that was
displayed by Nick and Mikael, at the moment. It's no doubt that something
was truly going on between them.

"Listen here Drake." Amy stated. "You are the first guy to pop Mikael's
cherry, and I do not care if you pop his again repeatedly. Just do not try
to get my boyfriend involve in all of this." Amy was giggling when she
realized what she had said. Finally, she could see the funny side of the
conversation, and Drake was totally relieved. It was not his intention at
all to create any friction with Amy.



"Wow Amy that is a good idea for a threesome." Drake was now laughing
hysterically. They were enjoying each other a company, talking casually,
remembering back of memories they had when Drake was in town, when their
attention turned to focusing at the entrance, of the club. Nick and Mikael
had just walked in with each other, a boyfriend and an ex-boyfriend. No
doubt they looked good with each other and Amy, jointly with Drake had
gotten intimidated seeing Nick and Mikael's walking in together.



Amy began to wave her hand frantically and vigorously up high in the
direction of Nick and Mikael. She was obviously trying to grab on to their
attention. Nick did see her candid action; he spontaneously grabbed on to
Mikael's hand, hold it tight and pulled him to move towards Amy. Together,
they expertly maneuvered their way through the compact bodies of the club
patrons. Nick did not let go off Mikael's hand throughout the impassible
route. At least, not until they've reached in front of the table where Amy
and Drake were sitting.


Amy did notice the hand-holding of Nick and Mikael, as they were coming
nearer to the table. And yet, she could not believe that they had totally
ignored her staring sharply and acted normally in front of Drake and
her. They casually greet Amy and Drake as though nothing was
happening. Drake saw the tension in Amy's face. He quickly grabbed Mikael's
waist and pulled him in for a hug and kissed both of Mikael's cheeks as he
wanted to defuse the situation from getting overblown. Amy snapped from her
dazed and reciprocated Drake's action to Mikael and Nick where Nick and
Drake just shook each hand.



For the first hour, everything seems to go on rather smoothly. Everyone was
trying to talk with each other over the sound of the club dance music. It
was blaring out loud from the surround speaker. Nick had gone over to the
bar to get everyone another round of drinks, and to free himself from
Amy. He thought that Amy was getting too clingy in order for Nick to feel
comfortable. As much as he tried to disengage himself from her, she just
tightened her grip whenever he does it.


No one had ever noticed that Nick did not talk as much with Amy. He busied
himself by staring sharply at Mikael and Drake. They were, in fact, talking
candidly with each other. Even though their conversation was nothing sexual
or lustful, nonetheless, with the way Drake was padding Mikael's tights,
shoulder and sometimes his chest, had Nick stare's daggers to Drake. Nick
felt angry as he thought that Mikael was ignoring him, and Mikael was
having his time with Drake.


Mikael and Drake sat close with each other while talking casually. They
were asking each other about their being, ever since the day they were not
together anymore. Drake was pushing hard on Mikael for an answer, if he was
dating anyone. However, Mikael just shrugged his shoulder. Of course, he
did not want to shout out loud in the club that Nick, and he was dating.

Mikael took a glance at Nick and got a surprised knowing that Nick was
staring at him intensely. He just gave Nick a sweet smile and padded him on
his leg, but Nick just so stone stared at him with a frown upon his
forehead. Mikael resumed his conversation with Drake. He did take notice
how wrapped up Amy was with Nick during his short glanced, looking at
Nick. Nevertheless, he did not want to overly, reacting as he took a deep
breath to make himself to feel calm and collected.

Suddenly, Nick pushed himself away from the table. By doing so, he was
unknowingly screeching the chair across the floor rather loudly, intending
to leave the table hastily. His drastic actions captured everyone's,
sitting at the table's attention and a few other tables around them that
made them turn around to look in their direction. Nick looked agitated and
was about to leave the table, when Amy tried pulling him to sit back down.

"Where are you going Nick?" Amy was asking Nick in a surprised yet
commanding tone into her voice.

"I need to go into the restroom. Why? Do you still want to keep on clinging
to me while I am taking a piss too?" Nick's felt anger and annoyance at
what was perceived as unfair treatment with the way Amy had spoken to him.

"No. I was just asking Nick. As suddenly as you pushed yourself away from
the table." Amy was shocked and astonished when Nick snapped at her
unexpectedly. She felt unfounded and was totally bewildered and perplexed
by the way Nick was treating her at that moment.


Mikael got to see the agitation and frustration on Nick's face. As Nick
hastily walked away from the table towards the direction of the restroom,
he immediately sprang on to his feet and decided to follow Nick, on the
pretext of him needed to piss too.

"Wait for me Nick, I am going with you as I need to take a piss too."
Mikael had just managed to tap on Nick's shoulder before Nick went further
away. Nick stopped in his tracked as he turned around to face Mikael.

"It is about time." Nick turned back around and hastily walking away from
Mikael. Nick left him in a state of shocked and disbelieved. He was
undoubtedly surprised and simply could not believe that Nick could be
behaving in that way. It was so not Nick at all.

Mikael quickened his steps to catch up with Nick. By then they were walking
side by side. Even so, not once that Nick turned to talking to
Mikael. Nevertheless, as they were nearing the bathroom, Mikael suddenly
grabbed on to Nick's hand and pulled him away to the back to the club,
where it is more private and empty. He had known this club pretty well as
he did ever work here before as a part-time DJ.

"What is wrong with you Nick? Why are you acting like a spoiled child in
front of our friends?" Mikael pushed Nick against the wall, and he stood
rooted in front of Nick, while he was facing him. "Please tell me
Nick. What is actually on your mind?" Mikael spoke in a pleading voice

"It's nothing. Nothing is wrong." Nick's not entirely looked at Mikael
straight in the face, but more on staring the floor of the hallway at the
back inside the club. Ever since he had expressed his true love for Mikael,
he had become such a jealous person. He did not to be or to feel that
way. He wanted to have the kind of relationship that was solely based on
love and trust. He felt so ashamed of himself.



"Do not you ever try to bullshit with me, Nick. Aren't we supposedly being
enjoyed our self-tonight like we planned?" Mikael reminded Nick of what
they had talked earlier back at his house.

"I know; I remember, and I have tried to. Even so, you were ignoring me,
Mikael. You could see that I am sitting beside you and not once you have
talked to me. Instead, you talk more with the ex-boyfriend of yours than
you are to me." There were tears forming in Nick's eyes. "I felt
disappointed and neglected by you, Mikael."


"Do you realize what you are saying Nick?" Mikael took a deep
breath. "Where is the boisterous Nick, did I get to fall in love with? What
have you turned yourself into Nick?"

"I love you Mikael. And I do not want to lose you ever." Nick sniffled as
his tear drops came cascading down from his eyes to his cheeks.

"And I love you too. Even so, do you want me to be open about us. What are
you going to do about Amy then?" Mikael took his right hand and lifted
Nick's chin and looked him in the eyes. "Let us not bicker about trivial
things Nick. You, at this moment need to know, that I love you, and we
indeed love each other. I promised that I won't go anywhere without you by
my side. Let's be, at this moment, enjoy the night alongside our friends
and even when we cannot be near to each other." Mikael paused and took his
right hand and placed it on Nick's chest, where the heart was situated. "We
will always be adjoining at heart."

Mikael leaned into Nick and kissed him gently on the lips. As Nick began to
feel the warmth of Mikael's sweet lips; he wrapped his hand around Mikael's
waist and pulled Mikael closer to him for a deeper and passionate
kissed. They kissed each other for a long time and when they parted, they
embraced each other tightly, not wanting to let it go.

"I do really love you Mikael. I should have said it a long time before. I
am hoping that it is not too late to say so." Nick was whispering to
Mikael's ears.

"I love you too. It is better late, then never." Mikael smiled widely at
Nick, reassuring him that he knew it outright to how much they had loved
each other. "I am glad that you have finally gotten to realize that I am
dead serious in loving you all this time Nick." Mikael got choked with
emotion, and yet he was still able to remain calm.

After another few more kisses to each other, together, they went back to
the table, where Amy was sitting alone and frowning. Drake already went to
the DJ console and started spinning his music. Mikael immediately went to
the dance floor to dance with anyone as he knew Nick did not like to
dance. Amy, was dancing with her girlfriends whom she had found at the
club. And at their table, Nick was smiling as he looked at the way Mikael
was enjoying himself on the dance floor. He was so captivated seeing Mikael
strong, sexy body, swaying and move to the dance music, blaring from the
gigantic speakers all around the club.

After sometimes, Mikael felt tired and made his way through the masses of
sweaty bodies on the dance floor, back to the table, where Nick was seated
to take a breather and a swap of his drink. He smiled sweetly at Nick, who
was grinning like a canary bird, looking at him. He sat himself closely
beside Nick and leaned his body on Nick from exhaustion. Nick could feel
the heat transmit from Mikael's body. Mikael glistering body of sweat, did
not even gross Nick at all. In fact, he felt rather aroused, and it
instantaneously created a bulged on his pants.


Nick felt the serenity sensation, of Mikael's warmth, and he was enjoying
every second of it. Suddenly, he felt Mikael got yanked away from him. He
looked for the guy and noticed that it was Drake. His immediate instinct
was to grab Mikael's hand and yet he, himself got dragged to the dance
floor.

It's late in the early morning, and the club was about to close its doors
right after the last song. It was a slow couple song, and Drake took the
opportunity quickly and pulled Mikael closer to his body and to dance with
him. Their bodies mashed up, and they were swaying into the music. Nick
himself was dancing after Amy had pulled him to her. He would very much
prefer it was Mikael though.


As they were swaying their bodies to the music with their partners while
holding on to their waist, Nick and Mikael had reached out a hand to each
other to hold without anyone noticing while they were dancing rather
closely. Their eyes met, and they were looking at each other lovingly.

At the end of the night, Nick went to send Amy straight to her
house. Nevertheless, when she asked him to stay over, he rejected, saying
that he's kind of tired and gotten a bit drunk. He just wanted to go home
to sleep. He hastily left her at the front door of her house, without even
giving her a goodbye kiss and went ahead to walk in the direction to his
house.

However, when he was totally out of Amy's sight, he quickly made a detour
to Mikael's house that was waiting for him on his doorsteps. They hold
hands while walking through the house and upstairs to Mikael's room. They
immediately shed their clothing's and climbed onto the bed, spooning each
other to sleep.

Damn! Oh, what a night it was for Mikael and Nick. It was so bizarre for
the both of them too, ever soak in the situation. In the end, they had to
leave it in God's hand for a resounding future together
