two men and two women working around the spacious bar, sliding glass after glass on the ebony glass counter that glowed with purple lights which Felix now settled his elbow on, sipping on his champagne with his leg crossed over the other, cladding him in elegance and fatal grace as he gazed around, not really searching for anything particular but just looking, not seeing but just wandering. Deep inside he wanted salvation, he wanted something---or someone, to ease that heavy void of pain within him but he found nothing, no one.

After minutes of scanning the dance floor, secluded couches, and booths where people were appeasing in debauchery. Felix was about to look away, too bored by not finding anything according to his gratification, was about to turn around and continue watching the bartenders and bartendresses excel at their job but something—someone caught his eyes

 Deep black eyes and long blond hair were the first things Felix's mind registered before he halted his hasty movements of turning around and took in the someone's appearance a little better, the blond hair as mentioned was slicked back, a simple black suit with black slacks and black Chelsea boots, upon closer inspection and with a grain of salt Felix concludes on top he's wearing a black button down with a matching black coat on top with the initials Y.SL engraved on its pocket

'Rich guy, huh?' Felix thinks to himself, watches him closely, his face is hidden behind shadows and the low light but those eyes have bound Felix in his position and he feels unable to move. The man had just exited a VIP room with so much regal aura some might mistake him as a prince or celebrity, Felix didn't though, he was simply captivated by the enigmatic glow that made him stand out from the crowd like a shining gem on a miserable jagged ground, expensive and charming. Felix furrows his brows, feels the man's eyes on him but he isn't quite sure if it's the alcohol or reality 

he even sees the man stop in his steps upon his eyes meeting with Felix's, like he too was entranced but terribly more than Felix. The five men that surrounded him, all dressed in black too, stopped as soon as he stopped his feet and Felix concluded they were bodyguards which made him all the more curious about this sudden man he'd crossed eyes with. Time seemed to still for a second when the man stopped, turned his head to keep his gaze locked with Felix and the blue-haired felt his stomach twist the slightest

The lights are low and he can't make out the other's face but he can feel his eyes, can feel them latched with his own, and can feel them binding him in his place. Felix lulls out his tongue to spread it across his lipstick-tainted lips, making them glisten and shine in the dark red lights of the club. Furrowing his brows, he waits for the man to move but he doesn't and that makes him wonder if he truly did stop for him. Before he can try to squint and gaze at him better the lights turn bright blue with a sheer white underlying and then, in the illuminance of the bright lights, Felix finally catches the other man's face

In the seconds of catching his face, Felix nearly lost his breath. His lips parted that were previously tucked between his tongue. The man in front of him wasn't just an ordinary rich guy passing by, he looked ethereal, in the sense that Felix would describe as a movie star. He would never admit to it but it wasn't the alcohol that made his heart skip a beat, it was the man. Their eyes remained connected, the man didn't budge and Felix didn't either. Where Felix was left intrigued and mystified by the blond man, the stranger however was feeling something entirely different

he was enchanted, to put it extremely simply. The blue-haired siren sitting against the bar was one of the most seraphic people he had ever laid his eyes upon, and as if not under his command any longer, his feet had stopped working before he could even move them forward. He was interested but that was one of the many things he felt swarming in the depth of himself currently. His eyes were fixated on the man across from him, there was enough distance between them that he couldn't make out if the dust splattered across his cheeks was glitter or something else
