worrying about seeing somebody he knows doesn't make much sense. if he sees anybody he knows, they're very likely to ignore him given what that means. he wanders deeper into the club, already feeling a little hot. all he can see are bodies pressing together and it makes him long a little for it himself, finally able to have a chance at it. swallowing thickly, alec unbuttons his shirt, tugging it off so he can wrap it around his waist, white vest top almost glowing in the low light. he catches somebody's eye, a little breathless as he stares at them, unable to move.

closed starter: scout sheehan ( @stormbrews )

"can we just recap, for a second?" they've just taken their seats and lincoln will be mentioning what good seats they are when he gets a second. he turns to scout, knees bumping gently. "you don't want mason to know you're here but you want to support him. so you brought me with you?" it's a head scratcher. "you realise my brother is on the team, right? i won't be quiet, bud." and not to mention the guy he was seeing was also on the team. oh, lincoln was going to draw so much attention to them. but he is wearing isaac's jersey, so that's something. "like, this is my surname across my back, you know."

starter for: yazmin torres ( @stormbrews )

he slips into the store around lunchtime, hoping yaz is available. he can't explain what he has been feeling lately but it isn't really anything good. kiera notices him first and smiles, pointing out towards the back. "thank you." ethan slips through the back and leans against the wall, watching his best friend for a couple of seconds. "how comes you're never actually working when i come in?" he's teasing, of course. she's always working her butt off and they have that in common. which is probably part of the problem, if he's being completely honest with himself.

it's the kids' fault. he wouldn't be here if they hadn't been encouraging him to put himself out there. it didn't really feel fair, he felt like he had betrayed them all and himself for so much of his life but they were so encouraging and kind. even dina was telling him to go out there and be happy, just as he had wished for her. it feels like a real stroke of luck when he finds out that same club was still open. it wasn't as though he was expecting to find the same man in there all these years later, he was most certainly married or had moved away by now. but the possibility of it makes something come alive inside of him. the club is a lot calmer than it was the last time alec was in there and he heads to the bar to order himself a drink, tapping his fingers lightly against the wood once he's got himself settled there. he takes a look around, sort of amazed at how familiar it all is. it's a real blast from the past.
