Karaoke Night
meme language is used because of the modern setting and also because i am on three cups of coffee today haha
It was meant to be a silly little night outing with a small circle of friends. It evolved into a bigger and bigger circle, what with everyone bringing along more people. The more, the merrier right? You were a little nervous, of course. You were all going out for karaoke after all. What made it even more difficult for you was that Ingo Trevithick was coming along.
One of the engineering students along with his twin brother, Emmet, you had the biggest crush on him for the longest time. Despite his stern exterior, he was actually very polite and charming. He was the energy and life force of any group of people he was with, a stark contrast to his quieter, younger twin. The last time you hung out with Ingo, he wasn't just trying his best to help you feel included in the conversation - he made sure you were part of it.
Of course, after a few drinks in, your nerves loosened up. Before you knew it, you had the mic in your hands with some cutesy bubblegum-pop music thrumming in the background.
It was sometime in the chorus where you suddenly felt extremely self-conscious. Like your body decided to sober up right then and there. You couldn't make your mind if all eyes were on you, heavy with expectations, or if no one gave a rat's ass about your performance and your presence made no difference at all.
As your confidence died along with your voice, your eye catches the movement of one of the others from the cushioned sofas. Ingo dusts off the bits of crisps from his trousers before standing up to grab the spare mic. Behind him, Emmet cheered him on but it was hard to pay attention to him or anyone else when Ingo approached you with that friendly Purrloin smile on his face and his piercing pale gaze.
"Mind if I join you?" he asks in the middle of the bridge of the song. When he receives a nod in return, his smile widens before he faced the screen where the lyrics played.
Ingo played the role of second voice. Still eye candy for the audience, but not completely stealing the show from you. There are definitely more people paying attention to the performance but at least you had a companion.
"I could have my Gucci on-"
"Guuucci on!"
"I could wear my Louis Vuitton But even with nothing on Bet I made you look."
"Said I made you look!" Ingo made a pose that tickled your audience. Looks like he's taking the brunt of the goofiness to save you from embarrassment - or at least show you it's alright to be a little goofy.
"Yeah, I look good in my Versace dress,"
"Take it off.."
"Hhh-!" You feel the air knocked out of you. Despite knowing perfectly well that Ingo was only following along with the lyrics, it didn't help that he was looking straight at you as he sang his part.
Oh no, you were being weird again. People might catch you, in fact, a few of them were staring at you in bewilderment - wondering why you're stalling. Before you could chastise yourself for being horny on main in front of him, Ingo was quick to save the show.
"But I'm hotter when my morning hair's a mess," He continued for you. You couldn't help but notice just how nice he sounded as first voice in the song too - why hasn't he sang yet this entire night until now? "But even with my hoodie on.."
Wait a minute, was that a growl? Wait-
"Bet I made you-
"LOOOOOK!"
Your jaw dropped to the floor and you would've heard it clatter there too had Ingo not suddenly erupted with a roar on the mic. Feral, throaty howls echoed throughout the room, the volume was enough to make your knees turn soft underneath you. There were mixed reactions around you - several people immediately covered their ears with peals of laughter. Some were quick to whoop and hype Ingo up, especially Emmet.
But none had the same look as you did - looking on at him with reverence and (most surprisingly for you) thirstiness.
The bellows died away, giving way for more of that bubblegum-pop that you've long since forgotten. Ingo chuckled sheepishly to the others before turning back to you and.. Well, he wasn't expecting to see how different your reaction was compared to the others.
"My apologies," he pardoned himself. "Was that too much?"
You opened and closed your mouth. What could you say? Was there anything you can think of? Funnily enough, your heart sprang into action before your brain could stop it. "I am.. looking. Disrespectfully, sir."
Now it was his turn to turn red. You wanted to melt into a puddle of joy from seeing him flustered and at the same time to just completely cease existing for making a fool of yourself. You had no time to take back what you said when Ingo clumsily fished out his phone from his pocket.
"So- ah-" he stammered, his gaze fell on the screen of his phone while he tried to keep his cool. "I was wondering, if it's alright with you, if we could exchange Peligram numbers?"
