"Here. This will make it much more thrilling." said Leon in my ear as he handed me a small black oval box about two inches long.
I was definitely curious if not suspicious about what was in this case but I knew without a doubt that it contained a drug, just by his behaviour of keeping it low and out of sight as well as doing a quick scan around the room as he passed it to me.
However despite it all, I trusted Leon. He had always been my partner in my bad affairs, and I knew he'd be there for me to join me and care for me. He could have my heart and run with it because I knew he would bring it back.
"What's this?" I asked as I opened the small container. It looked like a black mushroom cap with strange white pillar fibers inside it.
I had never seen anything like it at all.
"It's called the Black Fairy. It's a stimulant I got from my sister. I guess there's some new blood around that brings this from their country.
" Really? Which country?" I asked as I watched the pillar fibers. Running my thumb over it in one swift movement and feeling the fibers break apart. It felt like really rough dog hair but it didn't hurt at all when they broke apart.
"I don't know. I didn't really ask for any extra info. But its odd isn't it? I reccoment taking one single bite then swallowing it and then immediately sip some wine because it tastes awful." he said with a small scoff and a smile.
I was obedient in my trust of his words and did exactly as he said. I popped it in my mouth casually and used my tongue to move it between my molars as I bit down. The mushroom itself was crushed easily but I could feel the crackle of the fibrous crystals that then split and scattered through my mouth. The combination gave off a flavor similar to burnt toast and I couldn't stop myself from shivering as I had to force my body to swallow it before taking a full mouthful of wine.
My body shivered at the disgust as I swallowed it and I looked at Leon.
He watched me with a smile and gave my nose a boop with his finger.
"You might not feel anything for about twenty minutes or so but you'll definitely know when it kicks in." he said as he sits back in his chair. Perfect timing as the room came quickly into a silence.
The lights around the room came to a dim as only the lights upon the runway were illuminated in blues and purples.
The lights were one thing to give focus on the stage but it was the Edm music that the DJ played that really set the atmosphere.
No introduction was needed for this show and so noone spoke. Everyone in this crowd knew what the designer would be bringing but I on the other hand had no idea.
"Oh God..." I said with a slight sense of confusion as I seen the first model come out from the curtain. I could only describe this style to be a mix of futuristic cyberpunk and medieval beast. An interesting but also odd combination, I couldn't take my eyes off each model. The stitching and fabrics were elegant and clean in design and the furs that were placed through each outfit were coated in fluorescent paint and sprays bringing each piece to life beneath the lights above.
"Right? It's fascinating isn't it?" he said with a smile. His eyes were all lit up in happiness and interest. It made sense though and I couldn't help but share a smile with him. This was his style for sure and I could see why he aggreed to work this venue. The portrayal of the style was his cup of tea.
Leon was right though. I thought for a moment my eyes played tricks on me. It started with a tingling throughout my body and a throbbing through my erogenous zones. I would like to call this an aphrodisiac stimulant but it didn't give me the same sensation of an aphrodisiac. My eyes even began to close in my vision, the middle of my view was clear and bright and fuzzy but the corners of my eyes seen nothing but darkness, I couldn't see my peripheral at all.
I shook my head and blinked a few times. Maybe there was something in my eye or the lights and music were bothering me.
"Hey..." I said as I tapped his arm.
He looked at me with a curious expression as he then gave a small smile.
"oh yeah you're feeling it kick." he said sticking out his tongue.
"Kick? It's not a baby." I laughed with him as I did my best to force my vision to focus.
"I think I need a break from these lights... It's a bit much with this..." I said gave my eyes a rub and stood up.
"oh I got you don't worry we can go to the second floor. It'll be much quieter I promise." he said as he stood uo and grabbed my hand. Leading me through the chairs and across the room. Avoiding all the music as he lead me to a staircase.
