Blaine didn’t like the way that Santana reacted to the bouncer standing at the entrance and worried for a moment that he could be arrested. So much for no regrets or apologies he thought, but quickly got a move on once Santana was able to distract the bouncer. He raced inside, barely glancing at anyone and took a left as instructed, pausing to grip the wall and catch his breath. The wait for Santana to appear around the corner seemed endless, but he was relieved when he spotted the long black tresses and the little red dress coming his way. “Holy crap that was insane. Am I going to get kicked out or something?” Now he was nervous for an entirely different reason.

[lsu-santanarants]

As soon as Santana saw Blaine slip into the club, Santana cut the small talk and got out her ID, "Actually, I think this was a case of mistaken identity. So sorry." She quickly hurried in behind him and turned left inside, finding Blaine gripping onto the wall behind him for dear life. She couldn't help but chuckle at how nervous he looked, there was no doubt in her mind that he'd never done that at any point whatsoever. "He didn't even see you come in, don't worry about it. The hardest part of this evening was getting you into the club in the first place without an ID, the rest is a freaking breeze. Now, to the bar!" her hand grabbed his as she lead him off towards the crowded area, pushing through to the first open gap she saw. "So, this place is Splash, the best gay bar in Baton Rouge. Here you will find everyone aged from eighteen to, well, a hundred and ten. But first, what's your poison for this evening?" She raised her hand and leant on the bar, attracting the attention of the bar woman, "Can I have two shots of tequila and a rum and coke, please? And whatever my friend here wants."

Hell yeah, When I’m working for tips, you best believe I become the most charming motherfucker you’ll ever meet in your life. That’s right you work at Chaos, right? One the owners and one of the body guards were psi kaps, so I definitely used to frequent Chaos a bit. Hell yeah. It was the first game I ever bought of course I’m keepin it…and the stolen console. Shit still works too! If you still got scared, I’d so clown I really would. I’d die laughing at your ass!

[lsu-santanarants]

What other way is there to be? Saying that, sometimes even when I'm having a shitty day at work, I get tipped to smile at a couple guys, so I guess working in whatever mood brings in the dough. Oh for real? I never knew that. How comes you stopped coming in then? I still have my old sega megadrive back at my family's home with all the classic games, so I definitely know how you feel about keeping yours.  Literally, I'm not even sure I can test that. I feel like it still may have it's hold on me.

Blaine looked at her sheepishly. “Sorry, I’m just new to this whole thing.” He cringed when she mentioned thirty drinks. “Let’s just start with one..” Blaine tried his best to appear a bit more sure of himself, smoothing out his jacket before he answered Santana’s next question. “Oh there’s no use in changing my mind. For all I know, you’d drop me off now in the middle of nowhere and force me to find my own way back to campus.” He paused for a moment before revealing the key piece of information, his teeth worrying over his bottom lip. “I’m 20…but I’ll be 21 in February.”

[lsu-santanarants]

She closed her mirror and popped it back into her bag, "No need to apologise. Tonight is not the night for apologies, regrets or doubts. You need to be sure of yourself, that's the key information." The cab was nearing their destination, and after he revealed his age, Santana was praying that the usual bouncer was at the door. It wouldn't be an issue if he wasn't, there was always a way around things, even if she had to use herself as a distraction for him to get past. When the car stopped, she opened the door and stepped out before leaning into the window to pay the driver. Her eyes scanned towards the door to find a new, young bouncer working the door. "Shit, okay. The age isn't a problem, just follow my lead. When I have his eyes on me, you walk past and head inside, taking a left when you get in and I'll meet you there." Santana walked up to the bouncer, grinning, pulling down her dress a little bit more. "Hi, I really recognise you. Don't I know you from somewhere?" She leant against the side of the wall, making the guy face away from the gap at the entrance.

Um, but she is, it’s just that she is also a force on the stage. And if I wanted to, I can be both, I just have to get over all of that first. Second? See, there’s that aiming high. Far be it from me to discourage anyone’s dreams, so good luck with that. I mean, you just have to not care about what people think, really. Part of me thinks you can, but another sees that you probably can’t, to be completely honest.

Yep. Well one because their songs somewhat vary and you can always mess with their voices and tempos, whereas T. Swift has basically the same sound and sounds like a cracked out chipmunk. No offense, she has hits that are catchy, but nah. No mixing the Swiftster with nada. Living the dream in Miami? Hey, can’t hate there. Best wishes and luck on that. Yeah. Well he graduated before I got here, but I basically had some familiarity with it all. It’s cool and I had fun. Plus, I had connections here that kind of made my life a little bit easier. Nice, I’m glad you have that. Complicated? Why so, if I may ask. Oh, my parents and I no longer have a working relationship other than they gave me life. But I’m pretty close to my siblings. Some more than others, but we’re good. That and I have my own little family here, so life is good. Aha. Is there anything in particular you want to know?

[lsu-santanarants]

Trust me, I'm in the habit of not caring what people think of me already. I've had many years of practise with that one. Part of you thinks I can't what?

You make a very valid point, there isn't really much you can do with her songs, and 1D do mix with some decent club tunes. Although yeah, that Shake It Off song has caught me in weak moments where I do find myself dancing to it for all of ten seconds before I realise what I'm doing. Goddamn that woman. It's a valid dream, and to be honest, as long as I keep my shit cool and carry on doing what I do best, anything's possible. Oh sweet, see I wish I had thought of that before choosing, but then again, a lot of the people from my past I kinda hate every single cell in their bodies, so it was probably best to get the fuck away from them. Ugh, it's a long story. Basically my mom and dad spent a lot of time working, and I spent most of my time with my brother and abuela. That's the short of it, anyway. As long as you're happy with the family set up, that's all that counts, right? Erm, nothing that I feel I need to know in case my life was in danger talking to you, but I guess we could start with where abouts in the world are your siblings? And what's the chosen family situation, who's around in that?

He rolled his eyes at Santana’s comment, noticing the way that she dressed for a night on that town. “Pulling what?” he asked, feeling dumb as Santana hopped into the waiting taxi. “Let’s do this while the night is young. Who knows? If you can manage to get some alcohol in me, maybe I might actually let loose for once. I’d be very impressed if you can help me do that.” Sighing, knowing he’d be teased either way, Blaine slid inside the cab and sat next to her and closed the door behind him. When the cab pulled out of the parking lot, he looked around as they passed the streets he was familiar with. “Where exactly are we going Santana?” Curiosity was getting the better of him, and he was feeling a little less nervous although the feeling of wanting to jump out the window and race back to his dorm was still there.

[lsu-santanarants]

She grinned as he got into the cab, "You were looking nervous as hell. Don't be, you'll be fine, I'll make sure of it." She shuffled further into the cab to give him more room and reached for her compact mirror in her bag and checked her hair for strays. "If I've managed to get you this far, I'm pretty sure I'll be able to get a drink in you, or thirty." There was moment of silence as they drove away towards Baton Rouge, she watched the roads speed past her window. It had been a while since she got out the house, and Blaine seemed like a normal, sane, 'not gonna kill me if I leave him in a gay bar' guy. Most people who came with her to these clubs were straight, so whenever she hooked up with anyone, they'd be left on their own. "You'll see, don't worry. It's a little out of the way, but it's one of the best for young, hot guys and girls, so stop stressing about it," she ran her lipstick across her bottom lip, "There's always time to change your mind. Oh yeah, how old are you? Just so I know what I'm working with here."

[lsumarleyrose]

First round of college finals is officially over!

[lsumarleyrose]

Oh, okay. So people are fighting and stuff then. Okay, I won’t worry about it. I hope it all works out with you guys, though. I hope you guys win! That’s still good, though. Keep yourselves well prepared and everything. Is there anyone else that’s going for it?

Yeah, I think so! You can come watch and see what it’s all about. That would be cool. 

[lsu-santanarants]

That's going for captain? Oh god no, I just have a little plan in mind. No-one knows anything about it yet, but they will.

Yeah, I think that'd be good. Let me know when the next meeting is and I'll see if I'm free.

[noahphuckerman]

Yeah, one damn study buddy, but ain’t with a group of folks because if they get to cough I might get to swinging on ‘em I ain’t playing. I’m not about to have to take off work because I’m sick. I got bills to pay. So you mean to tell me that if I just so happened to have an older system with Nemesis on it, you’d still be afraid of the game? I mean I lived alone so I had to get over my fear and that was the only game I could afford for a while so it was either play nothing or face my fears and play it.  

[lsu-santanarants]

Ugh, don't we all. If it weren't for the tips I manage to get off ridiculously drunk, horny males and females, this job wouldn't nearly pay me enough money. Shut the fuck up. Do you actually? Honestly? I'm not sure, it's been nearly ten years since I last saw that shit, but I'm hoping I'm over that scarring image.

Blaine was completely out of his comfort zone agreeing to go out with Santana to a gay bar of all places. He had no clue what to expect to happen expect that going to a club somehow involved flirting with strangers, drinking way too much and having sex, not necessarily in that order. Yeah, he was in way over his head. Blaine threw on a plaid shirt and tight maroon pants to match, adjusting his hair carefully before he closed the door of his dorm and locked it behind him. Exiting the building quickly, Blaine checked his watch as he stood outside the front of the building, his hands shaking nervously as he looked around, hoping to run into Santana before he changed his mind and raced back inside.

[lsu-santanarants]

This may have been Santana's weirdest thought to date. She barely knew Blaine and yet, she somehow decided to break her 'I don't hang out with people who can't hold their own' rule. He even mentioned that he rarely drinks, but she needed to get out the house and unwind. Finals kinda took it out of her more than she'd ever let on, and all she needed to do was get wasted, dance and hook up. Dressed up in her short red dress and heels, Santana sprayed a couple of short bursts of hairspray onto her hair and make up, just to double secure her face didn't melt in the club, and hurried out the door. She'd called a taxi to pick them up on the dot; the club she was planning to take him to was a little out of the way, but she didn't know if he was 21 or not, so she took the safe bet and went to one where she knew the bouncer rarely checked IDs. She ran down the stairs and saw Blaine standing in front of the building looking nervous. "Blaine, if you're going to look like someone's out to kill you, there's no hope of you pulling," she smirked as she walked past him towards the curb, the taxi pulled up in front of her. "Are you ready to step out of your comfort zone, Mr Anderson?" Santana opened the door to the cab and climbed all the way to the other side, waiting for Blaine to get in. "If you don't get in, I'm leaving without you anyway, so it's your choice."

[lsu-blaine-deactivated20150113]

Fine, I’ll shut up. Are you that desperate to get laid? Forget I asked that. You know what? It’s time I seized the day and just did something impulsively. Why don’t we do something tonight.

[lsu-santanarants]

Hey, desperation is not an attractive word. I just haven't got my drink on in like, a week, and I'm starting to feel bitchier than usual. The sex is a bonus, but flirting, free drinks and hooking up with complete strangers is a necessity for tonight.

Fuck yes, I really didn't think you had it in you! I'm just getting my shit together, but I'll meet you outside in say, an hour?

[lsumarleyrose]

First round of college finals is officially over!

[lsumarleyrose]

Wow, that’s a lot of practice. I couldn’t imagine doing that. Internal, like in their bodies internal? Or am I missing something that should be obvious?

That stinks. How many do you usually do a year? Wow. That’s good that you’re really determined and stuff. I hope you become captain! That would be really cool. 

So far we haven’t had any competitions and it’s mostly just been for fun. I’m pretty sure we have some coming up next semester, but none yet. 

[lsu-santanarants]

No I mean as in 'in the squad' internal. It's a hella long story, so don't worry about what the issue is. There's a lot of competitions, but our main focus is winning regionals and nationals. Sometimes we compete in the other ones just to keep us on our toes, but they're smaller, irrelevant ones. I'm planning on it, don't you worry.

Oh sweet, that sounds cool. Is it an open thing? Could I just like... pop in for like, a one time thing? Just to see, I guess...

[lsu-santanarants]

First video is finally complete.

[lsu-blaine-deactivated20150113]

I agree. But I couldn’t ask you to take a night off just to take me to a gay bar. We can always reschedule to make it work better for your schedule. I’ve got nothing to lose, right?

[lsu-santanarants]

Blaine, shut up, it's a chance for both me and you to get laid. I would take the week off work for this. We're doing this tomorrow night, or tonight if you prefer?

[lsu-santanarants]

[ultra4wilde]

Yeah I’ve always just kinda lived to write. Yeah I don’t think I’ve seen you either. I’ll look out for you though. I’m kinda into music, I’m in the musical but I never hunk I’m amazing.

[lsu-santanarants]

Yeah, do that. I'll say hi next time I see you. Oh, you're in Rent? Who'd you get casted as?

[lsu-santanarants]

First video is finally complete.

[lsu-blaine-deactivated20150113]

Yeah, I’d rather not know how you know who has STDs. What are you doing say, tomorrow night? I need to change it up a bit and try something new…who knows? It could spice up my virtually nonexistent dating life.

Sometimes it is, yes.

[lsu-santanarants]

Good, it's a question that should never be asked. Tomorrow night? I'm actually working, but if it means helping a fellow... friend, and also myself at the same time, then I can definitely make time for that. Trust me, it'll do wonders for your life.

[lsu-santanarants]

First video is finally complete.

[noahphuckerman]

I mean, this time of year, I don’t wanna be huddled up with no damn body studying. I don’t even do study groups. I’m like nah fam. I got it on my own. I’m not about that getting sick life I got two jobs to handle. Hell I don’t even give high fives! I’m not trying to slap up on the flu. We can fist bump of I’ll wave at your ass…from a distance.  What? Little you were afraid of Nemesis back in the day?

I mean with my temper, I might have just risked it and knocked someone the fuck out had it been me. My grades are good enough to where if I fail one thing, I’d at least have a C. I normally pop off first, ask questions later. 

[lsu-santanarants]

Oh fuck no, there will never be a time where I will choose to sit with a group of people to study for something. I'm on a one woman mission to do it on my own, although one other person can work as well, depending. As long as they are insistent that they've had no illnesses in the last three months. Shut up, that thing was fucking freaky. By younger, I mean like 12. My mom wouldn't let my brother play it, so he stole it and played it in my room when I was asleep. I woke up and it's... face, was on the screen. It's an irrational fear now.

[lsu-santanarants]

[lsu-blaine-deactivated20150113]

What do you mean by that? I take it you just so happen to know a few places around here that would suit a guy like me. Either way, thanks Santana I appreciate it.

Let’s hope he comes then. I could use an older brother’s advice every now and then…even if some of his crazy ideas never work.

[lsu-santanarants]

Of course I do. There's not one that I haven't been to yet, I've been going since I was 18. The power of fake IDs and knowing bouncers from each club. I can tell you where certain types of people will be hanging out and on what night, to the people who have minimal sexual diseases. Don't ask how I know.

I've never had that luxury, but I'm assuming it's helpful sometimes.

[lsu-blaine-deactivated20150113]

I’ve actually never been to a gay bar before. Cooper…sort of chooses his own path and isn’t around that much. Yes, from the free credit report commercials. That Cooper. Oh it’s something alright.

[lsu-santanarants]

Well shit, it looks like I had you all wrong. I really saw you as a man-hunter, in like, a legal sense. If you ever did wanna go at any point, let me know. I'll quite happily be the wingwoman for all your bear needs.

I bet it is. Well if he's not, it makes him an ass, because who misses Christmas dinner? That's practically a sin.

[lsumarleyrose]

First round of college finals is officially over!

[lsumarleyrose]

Yikes, how often do you guys practice? Do you guys usually win competitions? I bet the team is great. Aren’t cheerleaders supposed to be peppy and cheerful? Or is looking miserable just something they do at practice? Um, I’d rather not have my soul destroyed…but why does it do that? It’s really cool! We just all get to hang around with each other and learn songs and…well, sing. 

[lsu-santanarants]

At the moment, it's three times a week, but next semester will be about four of five. There's a lot of internal issues with the squad at the moment, and it's making everyone miserable. That's why your soul will be destroyed.

Outside of practice we are perfectly fine, however, in practice, everyone's just frustrated as fuck. We've not one for the past year, but come January, I'm determined to be cheer captain, and I will not hold back on whipping the girls into first place winners. Cheerleading is fun when there's no shit going down, don't get me wrong.

Like, do you guys do competitions and stuff or is it all just for fun?
