DJ BRUNO HMMMMMMM?

[donttasemebro]

It hadn't occurred to Bruno until a couple days after Kiryu's message that he had never actually been to a club before, and didn't really have any idea how you... well... clubbed. But by then he'd felt kind of silly about the prospect of asking Kiryu or Alastair, and upon reflection he'd figured that blindly googling about it might just end in disaster.

So about an hour after he got out of work (he had no firm idea when to show up either, so he pretty much just drove home from work, changed at then drove here) he made his way into the club just wearing his regular casual clothes. Which may or may not have been a good idea, because as soon as he walked in his jacket and the white stripe on his t-shirt lit up like Christmas under the blacklights.

On the other hand, it probably matched very nicely with the metaphorical blinking neon sign over his head that read "FRESH MEAT".

xD i thought it was appropriate

Hey, you know what else kind of glows under those lights? This guy's hair. Which makes him pretty easy to spot out there on the floor. Or when he finally spotted Bruno and started heading over to greet him and maybe help him out.

Not quickly, because he's kind of a jerk like that sometimes, but eventually he got close enough to wave and make it clear than Bruno was his final destination.

"Hey! you found your way here okay?"

Bruno did catch sight of the glowing hair out on the dance floor after a minute (first he was busy staring at everything else that was new and weird about this place, which was... everything) but it actually took him a few moments for it to hit him that it was Kiryu. White hair on 20-somethings was a lot less unusual back in their world, after all.

About then was when he saw Kiryu waving, and he gladly scooted nearer to him through the crowd. "Yeah!" he half-shouted over the music, "yeah, I, uh, got here fine."

Kiryu had to fight to keep from snickering too much as Bruno got closer. He had figured that this would be something pretty new to Bruno, and while he would have been very plesently surprised if that weren't the case, this baffled, overwhelmed look he had right now was pretty hilarious. And endering. Like some kind of dog.

Really, Bruno reminded him of a dog quite a bit. That was probably why he couldn't just hate him like he'd wanted to.

"So what do you think?" Kiryu asked, turning his mirth into a bright grin. "Pretty great, huh?"

FUNFACT there are at least two pixiv comics in which Yuusei mentally compares Bruno to a large dog

Bruno smiled back (a bit weakly, but he was certainly trying.) "It's-- it's not bad," Bruno said, throwing an unnecessary glance around the dance floor again and then back at Kiryu.

"The, uh, the lights are cool!" He gestured back and forth between his jacket and Kiryu's wildly glowing hair. "And I like the music!"
