The stranger pulled me all the way to the far end of the rave space. It was getting darker out here, and as the music faded into the background, I started to lose my nerve.
"Hey umm, aren't we going too far?" I asked nervously. The stranger looked back and winked, before pushing open a door and dragging me down a corridor. It looked similar to the corridor that Judy, Anna and I had arrived via, except that I was on the other side of the room and there were even more doors leading to even more unknown locations, What if I got lost here? What if this guy murdered me after we did it?
"Don't worry, I'm really familiar with this location. I helped scout it out. I know a place where we can be alone," The stranger said, trying to sound reassuring, however, my stomach started to sink as we didn't stop at the first or second door, but several doors down and to the right.
The stranger pushed open the door and to my surprise, and relief, it looked like the room had been used as storage for the staff who set up the rave, it was brightly lit, with tables and chairs covered with people's belongings as well as merch and decorations sporting the Rave's Official Name "Quantum Psychic Drop", which I had seen earlier upon arrival on banners all along the walls.
"I'm Micheal," The stranger said as he finally let go of my hand. Turning to face me he went straight for my shirt and loosened the buttons, pulling it off me before I even had time to reply.
"L-Luna" I said as he wrapped his arms around me and cut me off with a deep kiss.
Just as Micheal's hands reached for the waistband of my pants. We both jumped as the door slammed open.
Micheal and I turned to find a very angry, panting Ryan, holding open the door, looking like he had just run into the room.
"Hands off my….my brother-in-law" Ryan suddenly said, causing Micheal to immediately back off.
"Woah shit, sorry dude," Micheal said and looked back at me, " You said you weren't with anyone"
I gasped, completely taken aback " I-I mean I just got engaged, it happened last night, and it's not even that serious," I said, completely flustered.
"Dude that's messed up! Sorry about this," Micheal indicated to me and him "It's not right if you have tied the knot with someone. That's fucked up dude, I'm outta here. Sorry Ryan, I had no idea he was seeing your –"
"Cousin, he is engaged to my cousin" Ryan said, crossing his arms and glaring daggers at me " Could you leave us? I need to remind him that just because my cousin isn't here, she still deserves to be respected"
"She? Dude, you're a closeted gay twink? Ok ok. I hope I see you around, never" Micheal said and left looking really pissed off.
"What the hell was that? And how did you know I was engaged, did Rachel tell you? Also…you are Rachel's-"
Ryan closed and locked the door, and as I was talking matched across the room grabbed me and pulled me in tight.
"Don't you have any respect at all for the person you're engaged to? How do you think she would feel if she saw you making out with strangers in the crowd? Is that how you treat your partners?" Ryan asked, his green eyes piercing into my soul as he gripped my arm tightly. It was so painful I thought he might end up breaking me.
" Ryan… Ryan please you're hurting me" I gasped, yanking my arm out of his grasp " Besides she isn't here, and you weren't there. The whole engagement is a scam, it's a forced marriage. Rachel and I, we don't have that kind of relationship where she would be hurt if I did this sort of thing, you've just cock-blocked a perfectly good quickie all for the sake of your cousin who could be out having her own good time right as we speak" I snapped, pushing Ryan back and reaching to get my shirt which Micheal had thrown onto a sofa nearby.
"Oh? Well if it's really all just a scam, I can't allow you to ruin our family's reputation by having sex with just any Tom Dick or Micheal that may come on to you at a club. If you're gonna get a quickie, you're gonna have to keep it within the family to do so" Ryan said snatching the shirt from my hand, throwing it back onto the couch.
