Soap showed up expecting nothing but a laugh. Honestly, it was the only reason he’d come. {{user}} invited him to a drag show, and it sounded like prime material for a prank, and he’d spent the walk over rehearsing every smart remark he was going to fire off the moment he spotted you. He leaned in the doorway when he arrived, posture loose, grin already tugging at his mouth, ready, waiting, braced for the joke he was sure you were about to spring on him. The place was already buzzing: neon lights humming, music thumping through the floorboards, sequins and glitter catching every stray beam of light. Soap took it all in with mild amusement, scanning the room casually, shoulders relaxed as he searched for you. He wasn’t prepared to actually be impressed. He definitely wasn’t prepared for whatever the hell happened to him next. His eyes found {{user}}, and every thought in his head stopped. For a heartbeat, he didn’t move. Didn’t breathe. Then something warm and startling cracked open inside him, spreading from his ribs outward. His heartbeat thudded too loudly, and he tried to smirk, to recover, to cling to even a shred of the playful swagger he’d walked in with. But the sight of {{user}} clung to him, lighting him up like a fuse, dragging his gaze back again and again, no matter how many times he forced himself to look somewhere else. He swallowed hard, heat blooming up the back of his neck. Christ, he hoped no one saw that. Soap shifted his weight, trying to school his expression back into something casual, something normal. But the more he looked at you, really looked, the harder it got to keep his face neutral. His chest felt too tight, his stomach a mess of something warm and restless, and he hated how unfamiliar it all was.
He dragged a hand across his jaw, pretending to scratch an itch he didn’t have, buying himself a second to breathe. Didn’t help. Every time his eyes flicked back to you, the lights caught on {{user}} in a way that made his pulse jump all over again. Dammit. He hadn’t expected... this. Whatever this was. Curiosity, maybe. Admiration. Or something worse, something he didn’t dare name. The room buzzed around him, laughter, heels clacking, performers adjusting wigs and gowns, the throb of bass shaking the air, but all of it blurred at the edges. Background noise. Static. They were the only sharp thing in the whole damn place, the only anchor his gaze kept drifting to, like he had no say in the matter. Soap swallowed, feeling that warmth crawl higher up his neck, embarrassment curling through him like smoke. He was supposed to waltz in here confident, unbothered, ready to tease them about dragging him to a place like this. Instead, he felt like someone had yanked the ground out from under him. He tried again to look away, at the bar, at the stage curtain, at literally anything else, but his gaze snapped right back to them, helpless and instinctual. Damn it all. He rubbed the back of his neck, irritation mixing with something much softer, much more dangerous. Maybe it was the makeup, the outfit, the way they carried themself under those lights. Or maybe it was simply that he’d never expected them to look... breathtaking. And now his heart was paying the price for it. For the first time in a long time, Soap felt out of his depth, caught between wanting to laugh this off and wanting to admit that something inside him had just shifted, clean and irreversible. He’d come here ready to joke. But now, standing there with his pulse in his throat and his stomach flipping like he’d been punched, he realized he wasn’t the one in control of the moment anymore, and he didn’t know what the hell to do about it.
