Dance the night away with me || Alderyan

[sweetdevoteddreamer-deactivated]

Aldebaran was halfway through a day of the play when he felt arms wrapping around his thick waist and he almost left his cellphone to fall, not at all prepared for the feeling, as some of Ryan’s fingers made contact with his skin under the shirt.

“You dork, you scared the hell out of me” he added, easily leaning after confirming by voice and smell that he was indeed, in the arms of the man of his dreams. “Oh, well, nothing much, just waiting for your fine ass and not letting zombies eat my brain” he responded, flipping around so now he could be looking at Ryan directly. “Is it like…to heated in there?”

[ryancampbell-blog1]

Ryan laughed lightly. “Well, I’m glad you’ve been keeping yourself busy,” he teased lightly, keeping his arms loosely wrapped around the blonde as he turned his body to face him directly. This prompted Ryan to lean in and press a small kiss to his lips before pulling back a few moments later. “Heated?” he questioned, quirking an eyebrow.

Minho adjusted his suit for what seemed like the tenth time since he’d arrived. The young man looked over when he heard a voice, normally he would have snapped at him but he simply shook his head. “Didn’t know these things would be so boring. And everyone looks pathetic.”

[ryancampbell-blog1]

Ryan rolled his eyes a little. “Well, excuse me for looking pathetic then,” he quipped, his natural sarcasm coming easily with this person. “Call me crazy, but I like a good suit.”

Dance the night away with me || Alderyan

Aldebaran was dressed in a sparkly black suit for the dance. He literally spent hours on wish looking for something that was distinct so Ryan could see that he had put effort on looking good for him. It was like galaxies were embedded in his body, and he loved it. To that, he added a black shirt, black boots and a white bow-tie. 

Now he was waiting impatiently. His father wasn’t that much of a patient person either, so he knows where this is coming from. However, his mind was again sending painful thoughts his way. It was Ryan who wanted to come in first place, so there’s not logic in leaving him alone right? So he just waits, checking his phone and playing plants vs zombies, without much success.

Ryan had been working the room a little. As much as he had every intention to spend the majority of his time here with Aldebaran, he still wanted to talk to a few others that he considered friends here and see what they were up to. But, excusing himself from one of said chats with a friend, he refocused himself on finding the blonde.

When he finally spotted him, he was playing on his phone and didn’t seem to notice much else around him. A small grin making its way to his lips, Ryan quietly moved behind him and wrapped his arms around his waist. “Hey, handsome,” he whispered into his ear before placing one small kiss to his neck. “What are you up to?”

[jungkai]

“In his defense, we’re both kids. We might need some looking after or we’ll end up embarrassing ourselves publicly.” He answered innocently. “But why wouldn’t you?” He asked, genuinely curious. Sure there are siblings that never got along with each other. But this coming from someone who doesn’t have siblings, Kai wanted to know why. “Nope, but it’s a matcha fountain! Not every event has it!”

[ryancampbell-blog1]

Ryan nodded slowly, simply shrugging in response.·“It’s not that I wouldn’t look out for them,” he started.·“I guess I just meant that, provided that my siblings would be adults like myself, I’d trust them to be able to handle themselves,” he explained.·“Otherwise, of course I’d be there for them if they needed me to be.” Ryan let out a chuckle, shaking his head.·“I guess it wouldn’t hurt to check it out then.”

[jungkai]

“That’s right, no one asked me. But my brother’s going and he’s my responsibility. Even though he has this extremely amazing girl for a girlfriend. The real question here is, why are we not hovering around the matcha fountain?”

[ryancampbell-blog1]

“Is your brother a kid?” Ryan retorted, an amused tracing his lips. “But, I mean, guess that’s nice of you. Not gonna lie, I probably wouldn’t look after my siblings nearly as closely if I had any. Well, I mean, not if they were in my age range.” Ryan glanced around and shrugged. “Should we be hovering over it?”

[kimxminho]

Stepping into the hall with his hands in his pockets, Minho looked around at all the other people standing close by. It was his first dance at the university and he would admit that he was nervous - he just wouldn’t say it out loud. Grabbing a glass of champagne, he gulped it down in one go before walking in further and looking for whatever fun he could find. 

[ryancampbell-blog1]

Ryan had been enjoying a drink himself when he saw the other male. And, immediately, he was struck by how uncomfortable he seemed to look. It somewhat reminded him of himself and how uncomfortable he usually was at these things. “You alright?” he spoke from a small distance away from him, lifting an eyebrow.

[esme-murdoch]

Esme hadn’t left her room in almost two weeks but she knew she needed to. She looked like shit and she had lost weight, making her look even more sick. She wore a big sweater and sunglasses even though it wasn’t sunny out, a baseball cap on her head. She had just entered the coffee shop and had barely made it a few feet before she fell into a nearby chair, holding her hand up as she caught her breath. “Sorry, I just couldn’t stand anymore, do you mind if I sit?” She glanced briefly at the person across the table. 

[ryancampbell-blog1]

Ryan had been mostly minding his own business, scrolling through his phone when he suddenly heard the scuffle of someone taking the seat across from him. Placing his phone down, he let out a grin at the familiar face. “Hey, stranger,” he greeted, his voice friendly. “Long time, no see.”

[fightingella]

The weekend kept getting closer. Most people were looking forward to their two days of freedom, but Ella was dreading them with everything in her. For her, it was two days of losing all freedom. The first time she had gone home in almost a year. She was trying to sit silently, but anger at her situation welled up until she slammed the open palm of her hand down on the table she was sitting on with an angry sound. “Sorry.” She muttered to the other person there. 

[ryancampbell-blog1]

Ryan had been minding his own business and reading a book when he heard the very loud slam of a hand on the table he was sitting at, not being able to stop himself from jumping. “Jesus,” he muttered, calming down as he glanced over at Ella. “You scared the hell out of me.” The girl looked angry - granted, she almost always looked angry, but today that seemed to be even more present. “You okay?” he asked after a small pause.

[finn--campbell]

Finn was in his own little world when he heard a knock at his dorm door and just seconds later looked up to see somebody stood in front of him. “Oh I’m sorry. I didn’t know I actually said come in.” He gave a frustrated gaze, dropping what he was doing. “Well go on then! I haven’t got all day. What’s so important that you feel the need to bother me about it?”

[ryancampbell-blog1]

Ryan’s eyebrows furrowed at the other man and he simply gave a roll of his eyes. “You’re the one freaking,” he stated pointedly. “And I just went ahead and came in since you weren’t answering the door.” Sighing to himself, he took a few steps forward and dropped a notebook on his bed. “Anyways, I just came to give you your notes back.”

Aldebaran makes a face but then just laughs it off. “Space cannot make me feel this way” he willingly confessed. And then he just layed on Ryan’s chest. His heartbeat was steady, calming, and peculiar in its on scent. “What’s your blood type?” he asks, out of the blue.

[ryancampbell-blog1]

Ryan grinned a little, shaking his head. “Yeah, you’re right. Space can’t give you lots of kisses like I can,” he agreed teasingly, though he was sure Aldebaran knew that he was just joking. He was content to just lay there for the next few moments, one arm wrapped comfortably around the blonde. “Hm? AB, why?” he answered, gazing down at him.

Aldebaran laughed softly at both things. “I also chose friday because one comet was passing by around midnight. But I think something else took my attention” he stated,just looking up at Ryan with a glow to his eyes. “Something a lot prettier than it” he added, just caressing Ryan’s face. Getting to know it with his hands like blind people would do. 

[ryancampbell-blog1]

Ryan’s smile only grew as his arms stretched out a little more, drawing Aldebaran in closer to him. “Wow,” he started. “You must really mean that. Especially since I know how much you love all your space-related phenomenons. I’m very honored that you believe me to be prettier,” he teased lightly, leaning in and pressing a kiss to the blonde’s cheek.

Aldebaran raised an eyebrow at him. “I cannot imagine how the poor soul of those you practiced with suffered” he stated, jokingly as well. He was making jokes. When he’s the most serious person ever. Definitely Ryan had something on him. For that, he just stayed on the ground, leaned over to Ryan’s side, the warmth feeling good. “ I wonder where that comet is…” he says at some point, staring at the stars once more.

[ryancampbell-blog1]

Ryan hummed, lifting an amused eyebrow in reply. “Well, you’ll get to experience that suffering for yourself now since you’ll be getting all my kisses from now on.” As Aldebaran leaned over towards him, Ryan simply wrapped an arm around the blonde and held him close, glancing up at the sky as well. “I don’t know,” he admitted. “But, honestly, I don’t know if I have the energy to care right now since I have you here next to me,” he added, gazing over at the other man with a grin.

It was exactly what he was expecting and more. Ryan surely didn’t lose any time and even kept up with Aldebaran’s desire. And while he was sure it was just him being reckless, he was enjoying it. He enjoyed for the first time to not be in control. Giving in was so pleasant and it was all perfect at that moment. But he did have to break it after a while, when he could no longer continue due to breath shortage. At that moment he just pulled Ryan into a hug and let himself fall in the blanket. He smelled Ryan’s cologne and everything was good. “You’re one seriously good kisser, Mr. Ryan”

[ryancampbell-blog1]

Ryan smiled against Aldebaran’s lips, enjoying their kisses for every single moment that they lasted. When they finally pulled back, he took a moment to catch his breath, laughing as Aldebaran hugged him close and they both fell back on the blanket. “Well, I’m glad you think so,” he chuckled, grinning at the other male. “I’ve spent years refining my kissing skills,” he added jokingly. “And you’re definitely not so bad yourself.”

[ryancampbell-blog1]

[sweetdevoteddreamer-deactivated]

Aldebaran’s eyes lower softly at that point. Not that long, but it still was there. His self-esteem was something that was threatening to get in the way. And he didn’t want that. He didn’t want his mind and his sickness to mess with something so magical happening to him. But then his mind was blanked out from those thoughts when he felt Ryan’s lips on his. And suddenly everything clicked together in space. Nothing else mattered right now. Just Ryan’s way of moving, slowly and steady, while he himself tried to just reciprocate and do the best he could. He was never kissed at all anyway. When they broke up he breathed in heavily before letting out a soft laugh. “I’m wide awake, my sir” he replies, playing along with him before biting his lip and going for it once more. This time it was way more demanding. Faster. More passionate. And he suddenly found himself pulling Ryan closer to him with one hand and running his other free hand through his hair.

[ryancampbell-blog1]

Ryan knew they had chemistry - it was what had attracted him to Aldebaran almost immediately, even just during that first day they had met at the gym. But the feeling he got from kissing him only served to hammer that in even further for him and, if he ever had any doubt or hesitation in pursuing this, it was completely gone now. Ryan let out a small laugh at Aldebaran’s reply to him, almost about to speak again before he was cut off by a pair of lips. He couldn’t help letting out a small sound of surprise at the intense kiss, but easily melted into it as he pressed back into him and shifted closer, lifting a hand up to hold the back of Aldebaran’s neck. This was not at all in line with the timid man he was still getting to know, but he wasn’t about to complain about the bold gesture either.

Aldebaran could only stare back and laugh when the joke is made. “You always look the part. Such a lovely, handsome and funny gentleman” he continued, much to boosting the other’s ego. “I swear I’m still waiting for someone to just wake me up from this” he states, frankly. “So maybe I should…I should just…” he’s not sure how to say but his eyes give it for him. The only part he was looking at apart from his eyes, were his lips. 

[ryancampbell-blog1]

Ryan laughed again, wondering how he had lucked out like this. He was surely going to have much too big of a head with how often the other man complimented him. On the other hand, Aldebaran needed a bit more confidence, which Ryan could only hope he could help give him. “You and me both,” he chuckled in reply, echoing the same thoughts. Ryan bit his lip as his own eyes flickered down to Aldebaran’s lips. Then, after a brief pause, Ryan leaned in and softly pressed his lips against his. He let his eyes flutter closed, just moving his lips slowly against Aldebaran’s as he held the kiss for several long moments before finally pulling back just a little. “Did that wake you up?” he asked, a small teasing smile stretching across his face.

[sweetdevoteddreamer-deactivated]

Aldebaran did feel like he was talking too much. It had become a normal feeling for him considering how people didn’t really wanted to hear everything about his childhood’s cartoons/anime, or how space worked so different from how the earth works. “I’m no astronomer though. Most of the things I say are things that come to my mind. But at least you’re letting me talk” he stated, turning to him. “Thank you for being like this with me.” his hand reaches his face and rests on his cheek. “You’re such a good gentleman, my good sir” he adds, eyes shiny and thumb moving through scrubby cheek.

[ryancampbell-blog1]

Ryan nodded a little. “I get it, but still,” he started. “And of course I would. I’d never act like I’m a saint or anything like that, but I’d never shame you or be annoyed with you just talking about whatever you’re passionate about,” he smiled warmly, meeting Aldebaran’s eyes. Ryan bit his lip as he felt the other man’s hand come up to cup his cheek, not being able to help just slightly leaning into it. “Well, thank you,” he grinned lightly. “I do try my best. At least I always look the part, huh?” he joked ever so slightly, his eyes not breaking away from the other male’s eyes for even a moment.

Aldebaran just catches himself sighing in the way people in the movies do. It’s insane. All of this is insane. And he can’t help but to admire the other’s lovely face in the low light. His brown eyes, even if not particularly shiny as his own blue one, popped out. Everything from his eyes was alluring. 

He then just settles in Ryan’s shoulder and looks up, trying to see what he can check. “It’s your lucky day, Scorpio is just above us” he explains and pinpoints the exact stars that form them. “I used to watch Saint Seiya when I was little, so I have this theory that the reason why the last stars are red, is because they went cold from how the swan saint left them” and there he goes, just babbling about things people don’t know about. “colors function the opposite on stars. Red being the coldest and blue the hottest”

[ryancampbell-blog1]

Ryan smiled gently as he felt Aldebaran lean into him, Ryan easily moving an arm and loosely wrapping it around him. He glanced up at the night sky, keeping each word Aldebaran said in mind as he did. He didn’t completely understand them - he had said before that he was no expert on space and it definitely wasn’t really a big interest for him. But all the same, he listened intently and nodding every once in a while to let Aldebaran know he was listening. He could occasionally be a bit rude, but even the idea of stopping the man next to him didn’t sit right with him, especially since he was talking so passionately. “That’s really interesting,” he said, his lips quirking up a bit more as he glanced down to Aldebaran. “I mean it. I don’t know a lot about stars or space, but I’m definitely learning more about it every time I’m with you.”
