the raven haired man took a deep breath, letting it out slowly, as he was let into the party that a friend had invited him to. he was beyond exhausted, muscles aching with every movement he made. dustin wanted nothing more than to soak in a tub full of hot water with his favorite musical soundtracks playing the background, eyes closed and relaxing for once. but, between the show that he’d recently joined and the fact that he’d already agreed to attend this stupid party, he had no choice but to skip out on the bath and put in an appearance.
feeling more than a little grumpy, he put on a show for his friend, all wide smiles and playful banter as he subtly edged away from them and started towards the bar. if he was going to get through this, he definitely needed a stiff drink. barely repressing a yawn, he leaned against the bar and put in his order, a part of his mind wondering if he should have just said fuck it and given an excuse not to come.
“I swear I know you from somewhere,” Blaine sat at the bar rocking a glass back and forth in his hand. Eyes were narrowed into the contents. A light tan mixed with ice and the smell of wooden barrels and liquor came from it as the ice cubes clinked together. Whiskey that he’s been nursing way too long but even though high school and Ohio were a couple years away? Time had done nothing to help him build up any sort of admirable tolerance for the stuff.
In other words? He was still a bumbling lightweight that only needed maybe two of these and he’d be stumbling out to a cab way past the borderline of buzzed and heading straight to Drunk Town.
Recognition finally lit his face up and he turned on the stool, heels of brown leather dress shoes hooked into the rung of his chair tucking back in place. “Golds–Goolsby..,” he hummed when he nailed the name, “You were the Vocal Adrenaline coach. How long’ve you been here? New York, I mean?” If Blaine could wager a guess, the reason they were both at the party was because of one thing. The stage had to be it. Blaine had barely gotten his shoes scuffed by it (better than saying feet wet) yet but with the small part in the play he nabbed? He might be on his way?
