Silph had him working like crazy. Which okay, yeah, that's what he signed up for sure, but a break was definitely warranted. Maybe that's why it had been exponentially easier to convince him to show up at this party.[break][break]

His college days were long over (okay, FINE, not that long,) but he had some friends in the grad program yada yada, house party, yada yada, everyone hasn't seen you in so long, it'll be fun, something or other.

And now here he was, dressed up in what could be classified as probably kinda slutty but also in sort of a good way, blinking, bright reindeer antlers fastened to his head...and nary a buddy or pal in sight.[break][break]

Em grumbled as he planted himself by the snack table, shoving pinwheel sandwiches in his mouth while alternative between gulps from a cup of questionably cheap boxed wine. Whatever, at least he could stake out there, indulge his munchy habit and maybe eventually be buzzed enough to lose himself in the sea of body crush that littered the house. All of them dancing to the thump of too loud, somewhat fuzzy house music over speakers that were working overtime.[break][break]

If noodly, drunk flailing could be considered dancing.[break][break]

At least it was warm enough due to the sheer number of people packed in there that he didn't feel all that cold in the tight, crop top he had on. It was sort of wild, this bolder outfit. Maybe he was just acting sullen, maybe a tiny part of him did want to party a little more, after all.[break][break]

And then he spied an all too familiar head of tousled dark hair that could only belong to Sen Hasegawa and did a swift heel turn back to the snacks until his cheeks were stuffed to dedenne level proportions. Nope. He was definitely sullen and sulking for real. And also now panicking.

The smell of body odor and cheap booze aside, Sen loved parties. He didn't even need an excuse to show up. Of course, he hadn't known about the party until the time of and he had floundered to find any appropriately holiday-themed costume to wear to it. Albeit, it was cold enough that he was regretting just wearing a tie without a shirt. "God's greatest gift" was a cheesy costume, but he did not really care.
[break][break]
The intent was really the same regardless. No one was there to look chaste for the holidays and they all had the same thing in mind for it. He was not opposed to skimpy dancing, drinks, and certainly not to free food. However, he'd not expected the red-head to be there. It was barely a glimpse. Maybe his brain was wired to pick him out of a crowd.
[break][break]
The best thing he could've done right then was to keep on walking. There were better things to do and certainly better people. Though, even with that thought, he faltered in his stride and stepped back until he could catch a better look of the little gremlin. Em was hunkered over the snack table, clearly trying to purposefully overlook the glaring headache in the room (that being him, of course).
[break][break]
"Little Red, didn't expect to see you here." His eyes lingered, "And wearing that."

Of course Sen picked him out all but immediately. Because Emerson couldn’t have nice things. If it were any other person, being noticed so quickly might’ve made him preen. With Sen, it only stoked a flicker of irritation as he turned himself back around to face the taller man again (or so he told himself.)[break][break]
If he’d been self-conscious about the tight fitting clothes he’d been wearing before, it doubled as Sen eyed him. His fingers picked absently at the fluffy, white fringe of the red crop top. The thick, reindeer bell collar suddenly felt like a step too far. As did the matching shiny, pleather short shorts and the thigh high socks. All of it too much effort. Except for the antler headband, that was fine.[break][break]
He probably would’ve fuckin’ died if he’d thought to add a fluffed reindeer tail to the back.[break][break]
“What about it?” he huffed, cheeks reddening against his will at the ~~pet name~~ nickname that had been annoyingly assigned to him. The choice had been funny at the time– Rudolph the red-haired reindeer. Now, he wanted to evaporate.[break][break]
“At least I’m wearing something. Real creative of you.” Em’s eyes flickered down, and back up to Sen’s face in what he hoped was a look of judgment. And not just blatant ogling of the other’s shirtlessness which had already been an image that stubbornly refused to be scrubbed from his mind. His arms folded, hip subconsciously popping with his attitude.[break][break]
“Don’t you have other people to inflict your presence on?”[break][break]
It was cheap bait, even if Em didn’t fully realize what he was doing. The inadvertent effort there to goad Sen into an argument, which meant that Sen’s attention was on him, and not somewhere else, as he’d questioned. His chin tipped up defiantly, and the loose, half-hearted braid he’d attempted earlier slid off of his shoulder.

He wouldn't bother pretending that Em was somehow pleased to see him. That wasn't the manner of their convoluted relationship, if that word could even be extended that far. They were generally messy, but at least they were never boring. As loathed as Em was to see him, Sen was pleased to say the least. His night would not be boring.
[break][break]
"Nothing, it's hot." He shrugged, admitting quickly. Sen wasn't the type to mince words unless there were simpler ones to get to the intended point. "A trash hermit like you... just wasn't expecting it is all." Dressing skimpy wasn't something he expected, but he was pleasantly surprised.
[break][break]
Sen smiled at that, "It's done the job and had the intended affect clearly." As long as Em continued to stare at him like that, it felt worth degrading himself a little. Not that he would feel even slightly degraded regardless of what he did or didn't wear that night.
[break][break]
"Wow okay, if that's the case then I'll go inflict myself on others. Since you're not interested at all, not in the least, not even a little?"

He nearly balked at the blunt response. His eyes went found, and if he hadn’t already been flushed, he certainly was now. “I know how to dress!” he squawked back at him, and because life hated him, the bell on his neck jingled merrily as he shifted forward.[break][break]
There was some truth to Sen’s claim, though. Emerson didn’t typically dress in such flaunting ways. He was more apt to be found in loose clothing that swallowed him up and hid him away. Normally this sort of attention made him uncomfortable, but when it came from Sen, it was provoked a confusing mingle of haughtiness and satisfaction.[break][break]
Em’s face scrunched up in a defiant pout, and he pointedly looked away when he was caught staring. Not that it was all that difficult to catch him in the act, blatant as he was being. “Yeah, I’m sure you like to think so,” he grumbled, arms folding tighter across his chest.[break][break]
And then the situation threatened to tilt out of his favor. The idea of Sen leaving his bubble was both appealing and unpleasant. Finding someone else to spend his time with was inevitable, but it made something ugly coil up in Emerson’s belly. Green-tinged, though he wouldn’t give Sen the satisfaction of admitting it.[break][break]
He stepped closer, almost toe to toe with the taller boy. His chin tilted up, bottom lip puffing as amber eyes narrowed at blue ones. He was not sloshed enough for this. To blame any decision on drunken indiscretion. What he wanted was to be unbothered, and apathetic. Let Sen wander off into the party like he’d just insisted.[break][break]
“Not even the tiniest bit.” But the firm retort wavered. A wobble in his voice that told on him, edging toward coyness rather than coldness.[break][break]
Stupidly, he wanted the attention. The heat of a stare on him, even as he attempted to rebuff Sen. How far would he go in a bid to pull Em’s favor? He had to wonder.

The bell jingled on Emerson's throat. The sound shouldn't have evoked thoughts that were entirely to filthy to repeat. It was simple, innocent even and yet his mind drifted to places. The cadence of that bell making a dirty rhythm in his head.
[break][break]
"Really? Only seen you in hoodies and sweaters so far." He shrugged, "Either way, its a nice surprise. Take the fucking compliment, shit." Whether or not it was an actual compliment was unknown. Sen was usually barbed with most sentiments.
[break][break]
Sen watched him, seeking out even the slightest indication that the want was returned. He was being awfully fucking nice to someone who had proved to be nothing but prickly. If he wanted to find entertainment there, he could easily do so with whoever he wanted. Yet, for some inexplicable reason, he was entertaining Em. It was pathetic and questionable.
[break][break]
A wolfish grin broke out, he stepped forward and lingered close to Em's ear. It was an effort, of course, the guy was like 4 foot tall. "Well if you change your mind, be sure to find me before its too late." He stepped past him then, seeming to seek out better company in the crowd.

Emerson’s face twisted up in annoyance, heat further reddening his cheeks. “Because I don’t always like to sacrifice comfort,” he huffed. And okay, yeah, he had a tendency to wear clothing that engulfed him. It only added to the overall image of his tiny stature, but that also made him easy to miss too. He only went out of his way to draw attention when he wanted to (which was almost never.)[break][break]
But of course Sen had shown up on one of those rare occasions.[break][break]
Take the fucking compliment, shit. His petulant stare cut away, fixating on the crush of people moving in uneven motion on the makeshift dance floor. “Thanks.” He would’ve preferred to sound bored, rather than flustered. But there he was. Being flustered and annoyed. Warring with himself over the fact that he wanted Sen’s attention on him.[break][break]
Just him.[break][break]
And so naturally, when he pushed the envelope and bluffed, the asshole didn’t take the bait. Emerson froze in place, the merry jingle of his bell ringing once as his posture went rigid. The heat of Sen’s breath tickled at his ear. Words rushing through him as Sen not only refused the bait, but raised the challenge as well.[break][break]
The plastic cup in his hand crinkled furiously as his fingers squeezed it mercilessly. Amber eyes narrowed, and he refused to look at him, lips set stubbornly in a thin line. The fucking nerve–[break][break]
He wasn’t going to be the one to chase Sen.[break][break]
A shiver wormed its way down his spine as the warning looped its way through his head. Twisted with a pang of envy (ugh) at the idea of spotting him grinning down at someone else.[break][break]
He wasn’t–[break][break]
A grumble rose in his throat as Emerson whirled back to the table, lite-brite antlers wobbling on his head. Grabbing the open bottle of tequila he poured more into his stupid cup and slammed it back. Then he discarded it and stomped back into the crowd. Pushing his way through taller bodies in search of the hot idiot himself.

"I'm not saying it doesn't work for you." He said back. Admittedly, more so, to uproot him with an unexpected compliment. Anything to snap that temper, maybe twist it up a little bit. Sen might not always be so bright, but he knew how to play with people well enough. It was a rich pleasure, one he used to be able to afford (less so recently).
[break][break]
That murmured thanks was received with a lot of smarminess, less grace or mercy than he probably should have. Yet it went well with his retreat back into the crowd. He had every hope and expectation that he'd be pursued. If not, well hell he could find someone else, even if that didn't seem nearly as fun as the tiny spit-fire.
[break][break]
It required timing, of course. Even then, he tried not to feel too disappointed when he grew impatient and wasn't immediately rewarded. So, Em didn't want to play, that was fine. Whatever.

Em stammered, jaw slackening as his eyes whipped up to Sen’s. Color that rivaled his hair baking itself under his skin. Uprooting him had been easily accomplished, and the redhead clutched at his cup as he just stared. Words failed him, and all he could feel was anger and a distinct sense of being flattered. Which made him more angry, really.[break][break]
All the more reason to not chase after Sen. And yet he’d done that anyway.[break][break]
Even though he’d followed, Emerson didn’t immediately approach King Dickhead again. Amber brown eyes watched him from a short distance, in a way that he wanted to be cool and unaffected, but was clearly not. No, his infuriated little glare was fiery at the very least.[break][break]
And then his eyes caught sight of someone approaching—a girl probably their age, making her way through the crowd with clear intent as she eyed Sen.[break][break]
Oh. Oh no. That would not be a game Em was about to entertain, and he knew Sen would play it. He coasted in from his hiding spot, sliding up in front of him before the girl could even get close.[break][break]
“You’re the worst, you know that right?” Of course Sen knew that. He made it his job to be the worst. He pressed closer, leaning up against him as he cast a short glance over his shoulder at the would-be interceptor that said “Back off.” They steered clear, looping a swift u-turn away—brows raised and eyes rolling.[break][break]
His usual, stammering meekness had ebbed away. Replaced the cattier confidence that he usually only found behind the shield of a computer screen. Maybe it was the cheap booze. It had to be. Mainly because Em didn’t want to accept that it might’ve been the way Sen’s gaze had raked over him earlier, or the things he’d said.[break][break]
Either way, he was disgruntled by the fact that he’d fallen for it. Thin fingers wound around Sen’s with a surprising steeliness despite his darting eyes and burning cheeks. “C’mon,” he huffed as he adamantly tugged at his hand. Though whether to the dance floor or somewhere less…crowded, he wasn’t exactly sure. He was just operating on auto-pilot and pent up emotion.
