Tara, Pat & Aiden

[doctortara]

"I don't know," Tara said honestly. "He seems to have logged in to some burst of determination for this competition on Sunday. He knows just about everyone here, though, so it's not the same. Still, he doesn't look nervous. Do you think he looks nervous? Maybe he just needs another outlet for his sexual frustration?"

Pat picked his drink up, fumbled with it a little and then held it in both hands. There was only a small purse of his lips that indicated his annoyance but he glanced at Aiden with a smile to reassure him. Aiden had been watching him like a hawk all day and Pat found that it didn't piss him off... it was actually comforting because Aiden seemed to have a knack to pull it off without being claustrophobic

Aiden's eyebrows shot up. "Seriously? A year since you two got engaged? Congratulations!" He leaned in and kissed her cheek, giving her a hug. "You should request something," he urged.

But it was pointless because Lachlan flicked a point at his keyboardist and stepped up to the microphone. With a quick wink at Pat, Lachlan was dedicating the song to his BFF and the room dimmed down long, the lighting being taken over by an array of colourful disco lights as Lachlan started to mischievously sing 'I Will Survive', complete with a perfect falsetto on the opening lines and dramatic hand gestures. When the fast beat of the song kicked in, Lachlan grabbed the mircophone and started to handle it with ease, emphasising the whole performance with disco moves and hip thrusts. There was onyl one thing Aiden could do. He burst out laughing.

Tara stood up and stuck her fingers in her mouth with a loud whistle. It was all very reminiscent of Pat's party last year. Lachlan had sung one of Pat's favourites even then, and although he incessantly pulled the piss out of Pat for his love of all things disco, he performed it himself with style. She started dancing, enjoying the music even if she was giggling to the point she had tears in her eyes.

Tab & Riley

[asinthecity]

Tab was one of those people where if she was at a bar and not playing, she didn't always know what to do with herself. Luke was being the gracious bar owner and making sure everyone had their drinks, while Tab just floated around and occasionally stopped to talk to various people, but not really finding herself a group to stick with. Which was probably fair since their group made up most of the guests anyway. She had on her leather pants with studded belt, with Luke's AC/DC top over them--a knot in the back so that it was a tighter fit than it usually was. She fiddled with the leather bands around her right wrist and watched Keiran and Lachlan up on the stage.

She glanced around the bar again, and when she saw Riley standing alone she made a beeline for her twin, her arms slipping around his waist as she hugged him.

Riley wrapped his arm around her shoulders and kissed her head. "What you up to, squirt? About ready to go wrestle the mic off Lachlan yet? That's your partner in crime up there for Sunday. What do you think? You two going to knock 'em dead and walk away with the prize money?"

Re: Tab & Riley

[asinthecity]

Tab shifted to show him her hand, her index finger and thumb held a centimetre apart. "Maybe just a little bit ready to wrestle the mic off him. I'm not doing anything, just trying to look like I am doing stuff. I think Lachlan's doing good, and we will definitely walk away with the prize money. Combined we'll be one big ball of awesome." She wrapped her arm around him again and smiled happily now that she'd managed some twin time. Riley always managed to make her feel at ease. "What are you up to, beanpole?"

Re: Tab & Riley

[pullmysteth]

"Not much. The dancing crowd swallowed my girlfriend about fifteen minutes ago. I'm more than convinced I either smell or it's the Bermuda Triangle of dancefloors because Beth suffered exactly the same fate half an hour ago when I was talking to her." He shrugged and started to move with the beat of 'Eagle Rock'. "Wanna dance?"

Luke & Andrew

[paramedically]

The minute Andrew walked into the party, he was going to walk right back out again. He shouldn't be here. He didn't know anyone but Luke and Tab. Well, sure, he knew Pat and Aiden, but it was through work and they probably didn't want the paramedic who brought Pat into hospital hanging around. He also wasn't feeling much like partying. He was still on the tail end of the flu and this didn't feel like his scene, despite Luke's assurances there was Karaoke and it would be a good night.

He shoved his hands into his pockets and hovered near the door, planning to wait all of two minutes (to be polite) before turning and leaving again.

Luke snuck up behind Andrew and hooked his hand in the crook of his arm. "No you don't. I know that look. I'm not letting you do a runner now you've turned up. Come on. I'll get you a Coke," he told him, smiling. "How's things?"

Re: Luke & Andrew

[paramedically]

"Luke- jeez!" Andrew gasped, jumping when his arm got caught. "I shouldn't be here. I don't know anyone. I feel like a pimple on a really nice backside." He let himself be dragged off towards the bar though.

"I'm not really in the party mood," he added with a sigh.

Re: Luke & Andrew

[notskywalker]

Luke put his hand over Andrew's mouth. "I'm not asking you to party. I'm asking you to have a Coke with me. I want you to meet some of my friends, and I want to know how things went with Ali. She was tight-lipped when she got back, then the baby started screaming, so she got distracted."

Tara & Lachlan

[drcampbell]

Lachlan took a quick drink of water from one of the many bottles lined up on a chair nearby. He had forgotten how hot performing was. It didn't help that he still had the remnants of the fever in his system, but at least he had stopped puking. He could see down into the audience where Aiden was helping Pat sit up on the edge of one of the booth tables and then thread settle in between Pat's leg with his arms around his shoulders. It wasn't quite dancing, but it was close enough. Pat could stand for very brief periods, so he was able to help the process a little. It was perfect timing, too.

He pulled the mic from the stand and went to stand on the edge of the stage. "Okay, people. We've had an anoymous request, dedicated wholeheartedly to one of the guests of honour and his new other half. To Pat and Aiden - Love is in the Air!" He started singing, watching Pat and Aiden for a moment before he jumped off the stage and sought out his wife. He continued to sing as he found her and pulled her against him, starting to dance with her so

Re: Tara & Lachlan

[doctortara]

Tara was managing to laugh and cry at the same time. Truly, seeing Aiden do his best to help Pat at least feel part of the dancing celebration had tugged her heart. Pat had looked nothing but happy all night and she could see now it wasn't a bad thing getting Pat out of hospital for this. He was thriving on it, but it was clear Aiden had most of his attentions, and vice versa.

She wrapped her arm possessively around her husband's neck, watching and listening to him sing like he had never faltered. He looked so alive and that thought again had yet another wave of tears spill down her cheeks. Being pregnant just wasn't an attractive thing at all.

Re: Tara & Lachlan

[drcampbell]

Lachlan put his spare hand on her cheek and caught the tears with his thumb. He moved with her, joining smoothly in the dance with her. He knew what she was thinking. They just knew each other better than they knew themselves now. He smiled at her at a pause in the song, taking her hand to spin her around.

Pat & Aiden

[mrpublicity]

Aiden looked up at Lachlan in surprise and then turned back to Pat with a laugh. "Do you know who did this?" he asked, looping his arms around Pat's waist and pulling him close.

Re: Pat & Aiden

[sexyinscrubs]

"I'm going to cry," Pat warned right before he buried his face in Aiden's shoulder with a sob. He grabbed hold of his composure though, and soon lifted his head again with a wet smile. "I don't know. It could be anyone, darling. Don't you think they all suddenly look devious?" This was just like dancing, and he knew it was as close to as he would get. Aiden's arms were wrapped warmly around him and he was moving to the music between Pat's legs. It just felt perfect.

Re: Pat & Aiden

[mrpublicity]

"Of course they do," Aiden agreed with a teasing laugh. "They're digging away in their sequined purses for hit contracts right now."

He leaned in and kissed Pat's tears away, kissing down his cheek to his lips and joining them in a slow, lingering kiss. He continued to move to the music, rocking Pat with him and then pulled back with a smile. "I love you, Patrick Preston. You don't know how great it feels for me to see you smiling."
