"Is that so? You know, Koschei... You should consider therapy," Tom informed him calmly, while taking the empty glass from Barty. "Rodolphus told me something about your room-mate. Theta, right? Does threatening him still make you beg?"

Yes, he was smiling. And seemingly oblivious to the fact that Barty really might need something or someone to hold on to. "Let's jus' go, Tom. Come on."

"So should you. You're so deluded you actually think you're important," Koschei snorted in disbelief, refusing to rise to the bait. Had he been right of mind, he might of been more concerned. But he lived for moments like this, lost in the beat of the drums, everything numb and pleasant. He loved being detached from reality. "I ended our friendship so no but do feel free to try. He'll report you, he's not like me."

He knew Tom wouldn't do it because Theta was the kind to ask for help and admit his problems. So few boys would be pushed back to their room in a wheelbarrow to avoid attention like he did. "Yes, Tom, go. Run along and leave me be like a good little psychopath."

"He can report what will happen. Plenty of expendable people at my disposal. So let me tell you what we'll do." Barty held on to the wall as the room started spinning, eyes barely able to focus and his mind wasn't doing much better, but he knew he had to so he looked at Koschei and Tom.

"You'll get some alone time with Barty, because he likes you and I don't like that. You know us psychopaths. We are very particular about such things." He grabbed Barty's arm and pulled him close, actually holding him against himself. Also covering his ears while he was at it. "So you'll make him look like shit before tomorrow. I believe you have an extensive frame of reference for that. And if you don't, that gives me a frame of reference for what to do with your Theta." He shrugged. "Until then, do what you like. You make a nice couple."

Koschei sighed, he should of known this was coming. Barty was nice to him and tried to help him, he was bound to suffer for it. And Koschei had to make sure that Barty never came near him again unless it was to cause damage. Because Tom was a jealous petty little bastard. Reaching out, he grasped onto Barty's wrist and yanked him free from Tom's grip.

He struggled more to keep a hold of Barty, what with him being dazed himself and Barty being considerably taller. "You'll get what you want but I stand by what I said. He's not my friend. I don't have the luxury of friends. Do I, Tom?"

And, with that, he wrapped his arm around Barty's waist and started to drag him away and towards the dance floor. If he had to beat the shit out of him then he may as well give him a good night first. "Come on, let's dance. You'll feel better when you give in and relax."

"Woah, where are we going?" Barty looked at Tom at first, then at Koschei when he realized who was holding on to who. He blinked, clearly dazed, and reached up to touch Koschei's face. "Hey."

Dancing. Hm. Dancing he could do, he supposed. Perhaps not very well, but at least with enthusiasm. The fact that it wasn't normally his style suddenly seemed to matter considerably less.

"You look pretty."

Koschei decided to enjoy this moment for what it was, even if he was sure Tom was watching and plotting their downfall. Barty was cute enough, he clearly had some level of interest and they could have a great evening together either way. With a bright grin, he slung his arms around Barty's shoulders, standing on his tip toes so they could keep each other upright and dance at the same time. At least this would work while the beat was slower, when it picked up things might get hectic.

"You're very drugged," Koschei pointed out before letting out a little bit of laughter. "But I am pretty. So are you too, you lovely bastard."

Maybe he'd be lucky and Barty wouldn't remember any of this? And he could flirt and enjoy his last fleeting moment of nearly having a friend. "Keep talking sweet to me and we might have a fun night together."

"Yeah?" Barty smiled brightly. "Thank you! No one ever says that." He leaned in to nuzzle Koschei's neck, pressing his lips against it until some part of his consciousness became aware of that not exactly being platonic behavior and he pulled back, blushing. "Sorry."

He had forgotten most of what had happened, other than Tom asking him to drink something, Tom holding him, and then there had been Koschei, now there was Koschei, and if he moved his hips forward he could imagine he could feel him and suddenly his hands were on his arse and he was giggling.

"You're the most adorable. In school. All of it."

"Adorable?" That was a weird thing to say. He wasn't used to be called adorable or being kissed like this. It was nice-- he actually liked it. He couldn't help going a tinge red, soaking up the attention with an edge of pride. Why did Tom have to ruin this? It had such promise. He could of done so much with a 'friend'. Wasn't like things were going anywhere with Theta either.

Unable to help himself, he giggled too, face pressed into Barty's shoulder as he sway along to the music, one hand finding it's way into the other boy's hair, stroking the back of it playfully.

"Is that why you always help me?" Koschei asked finally, leaning up a bit so Barty could hear him properly. He was still pretty out of it himself but he'd used a far more reasonable dose, he was probably going to remember this better tomorrow. So he took his chance to get some info. "You think I'm adorable and pretty? Be honest, when did you know you liked me?"

"Not just. Also cause you're smart. I like smart. Dumb people are tedious." He looked up enough to glare around himself, so the dumb people would see that he disapproved. It was a fleeting thought though and he quickly ducked his head again to better be able to whisper into Koschei's ear. "When I saw your boxers. Teletubbies. Those are great."

He giggled, again, feeling giddy and suddenly just happy and silly and was that what being in love felt like? The drugs might have more to do with that, but ironically he was so drugged that didn't occur to him.

"What are you wearing now?"

Koschei, in a moment of carefree whimsy, pulled himself and Barty closer to the edge of the dance floor for a little privacy so he could swiftly undo the top of his trousers and tug them down very slightly so show off his boxers today. Bright blue Stitch ones. All his boxers had characters on otherwise they'd be boring. He knew Tom's lot loved to laugh about them and try to steal them in the locker room but he didn't care. He had an attachment to fun that wouldn't be broken.

"They're stitch! I loved that film, I watched it with Theta last year. Stitch and the Lion King," Koschei shared with a bright grin, doing up his trousers again just in case anyone was planning on yanking them down publicly. Wouldn't be the first time someone had done that at a public event, their first year dance was basically Rodolphus stealing his trousers in front of the whole school and playing keep away with them.

Smiling, he pulled Barty down closer to him and rested his forehead against the other boys. Which took some co-ordinating thanks to their height issues but he wanted his focus. "Don't forget why you like me, okay? Please. It's very important. Because it's true and you need to hold onto that."

Because if he lost that admiration after tonight, it might actually hurt more than he imagined. He couldn't remember the last time someone thought he was worth something. "Because you're smart too, you're not easily fooled. And when you're with me, they're all afraid to touch me. It's beautiful! We could do so much together."

"I've never seen them. I will one day. When I'm all grown up and moved out I'll buy all the cartoons and watching them. And eating cotton candy. Pink cotton candy." It was a good thing Koschei was pulling his pants up again, because never mind what anyone else might have done, Barty was about to get on his knees to actually completely innocently rub his cheek against his boxers because they looked soft.

As it was, he just stuck a hand down his trousers to touch the blue fabric that way, then pull back with a slightly embarrassed grin. He bent down when Koschei pulled him closer, catching his eyes, although his own kept drifting here and there.

"I like you," he agreed, although none of the other words really made sense, "You can watch movies with me." He smiled and pushed Koschei back against the wall so he could lean against him and kiss his neck again. "You're so brave. I want Tom to like you, too. 's not fair."

"Why wait? Theta has the DVD and I can get cotton caaa--ah!" His words petered out with a pleased whine as he felt Barty's warm hand slip down his trousers, he longed to keep them there but he resisted, mentally telling himself to keep control. He was better than this, he didn't need to fall for some idiot and give into his desires. Screw Tom.

Or, anyway, that's what he told himself as he tilted Barty's head to the side and pulled him into a proper on the lips kiss. Well, you know, he never could resist words as sweet as the ones Barty gave him. He could be a whore for compliments, if he had to be.

"Tom will never like me," Koschei whispered into his ear, playfully nibbling on it. He chanced a peek over his shoulders to check for Tom and he noticed most people were busy with their own thing, they weren't really watching them. And Tom was no where to be seen. But there was one boy, he looked like one of Tom's, watching them with great interest and a vague smirk. They were keeping an eye out then? Just what he needed. Taking a chance while he could, he decided to make the most of what little time he had left with Barty. "Put your hand back down my trousers."

Well, come on, he wanted something before his new friend hated him. He could use him a little, right? That was morally okay.

"I like you. I'll always like you," Barty informed him happily, obviously oblivious to their audience. Hell, he seemed to be oblivious to anyone even being there at all. He was licking his lips, looking at Koschei and loved that he'd just kissed him.

"Do you want to be my boyfriend?" It was a silly question, part of his mind realized that even now, but the drug had hit him big time, mixing badly with the alcohol he wasn't used to and the medication he always took because of his allergies. He blinked, but then grinned, trying to look as seductive as a drunk teenager could look while he did as he'd been told and put his hand down Koschei's trousers again. He was feeling very sultry indeed.

"Like that?" Well, he knew what to do once there. He had hands on experience with himself, after all. And so he cupped him through his boxers, started to rub. "See? You're big." He did vaguely recall the football field incident.

Always. That was such an easy word but never an easy vow. Koschei knew this was wrong, he knew using a man he was about to destroy was an awful thing to do but he had to do it, to protect Theta. To make sure that Tom didn't keep on Barty either. As soon as he put up that distance, everyone would be okay again. So really, he was doing the right thing. Even if the right thing got him some rather dodgy attention.

The boyfriend question was the knife in his gut and he stayed silent for a moment, breathless noises made against Barty as he let the man give him a reward for all this shit he was suffering.

"I do, I would love to. But I can't yet," Koschei offered, whispering it so the others couldn't hear if they were listening. "But we'll see how you feel in the morning, when you're more alert. For now, we're just very good friends. Two very good friends who should get some privacy, we have a lot to do yet."

He gently removed Barty's hand from his trousers and linked it in with his, trying to ignore how hard he was right now. Tugging him along through the crowd of people, he ignored everyone and aimed for the boy's toilet. May as well shatter this illusion without stares.

Barty held his hand, either not caring that he was holding hand s with a boy very publicly or simply not aware enough. Very good friends, though. He would have preferred if they'd be boyfriends, but he could fix that later. He was quite convinced Koschei liked him and he was feeling so, so, so good, there was no reason to worry about something like that.

He pushed the door open and let Koschei walk in first, still holding his hand. Once the music was cut off and he realized they were alone, he rubbed his hair with his free hand, making it stand up a little. "Do you want to... I've never. I mean. I don't know if I'm any good."

As the moved towards a nearby stall, Koschei pushed Barty into it and locked the door behind them. Before he did this, he could give his poor victim a happy experience. He very rarely did get a chance to make people feel better, maybe if he did this. Barty would remember and not totally hate him tomorrow?

Unzipping the other boy's trousers, he pulled them and the boxers soon followed. "It's okay, just relax, I'll handle this," Koschei insisted as he took a hold of Barty in his hands and started to fondle him, giving him at least something from all of this. He could wank the other boy off, that was a fair trade.

He couldn't fuck him, not with what he had to do. And he refused to get on his knees for anyone. But this was ... like a step up from kissing. "You'd be good, Barty, promise. You'd be amazing. When you're sober, we'll try."

It was all happening a lot faster then Barty could keep up with right now, since the room was spinning and then suddenly Koschei was touching him and no one ever touched him like this. There had been a party some years back when a girl had started to, but Tom had put an end to it and that had been the end of that. She'd changed school, soon after.

But this really was happening. He leaned back against the wall, because otherwise he'd have risked falling and he wrapped his arms around Koschei, whispering rapidly. "We will, we have to. I want to take you in my mouth, too. If that's not weird. Is it weird? It's just I have dreams and I... I want to, you know. And more things. Other things." He was breathing fast, his hips jerking. "Yes, please, yes!"

"Stop talking, Barty, we can talk tomorrow," Koschei insisted, not needing to hear any more. It was all making him feel worse and worse, perhaps that's why he picked up the speed, desperate to get Barty off quick so he could finish the job. It was all getting a little much for him and he felt pretty sick. Was this guilt or just nerves because he had to do what he had to do next. Even if it was wrong.

He'd never actually jerked anyone off but himself, it was an odd thing to do. But the noises Barty made were beautiful. He wished he could make more of them, he wished he could forget his deal and fuck Barty up the wall till he cried for more.

But Tom would never let him have that, he wanted it too much.

"Tomorrow. Okay, tomorrow. Tomorrow, yes." The word 'tomorrow' had just about lost all meaning by now. His eyes were half-lid, his lips were parted and he felt so much like talking but couldn't think of any words anyway. "Koschei," he finally settled on, "Koschei, please... Please, yes. Yes!"

His legs were close to giving in, so he held on all the tighter, whispering Koschei's name against his skin, damn near moaning it until he came with a scream. He was definitely not quiet during sex. Good to know.

"Thank you." These fancy private schools really did install excellent manners in their students. "That was lovely."

Koschei used the tissue to clean his hand, unsure what to say in return. Because there was nothing to say. He couldn't actually get any words out, the guilt was making him feel sick. Hastily, he turned around and unlocked the stall, rushing out to get some air. He took two deep breaths and ran the taps, hastily washing his hands. He was getting a time limit now.

He just had to do it. He just had to attack and get it over and done with. Then he could just retreat and leave for the night. Not looking at Barty, he continued to wash his hands. "Barty, I'm really sorry. I do like you, I do, but I don't have any other option."

Barty stayed leaning against the stall, eventually realizing that he was still hanging out for all the world to see and he did at least right his clothes again, even managed, after some difficulty, to button up his pants. He looked up from his task when Koschei was talking, frowning slightly.

"Okay. I like you too. Are you leaving?" He wasn't really sure what Koschei was sorry about, but he wasn't sure about anything much right now anyway, so he just rolled with it.

Koschei didn't respond, he just spun around and punched Barty as hard as he could in the face. And then again and again till he was knocked into the stall. He threw a hard punch into his gut and kicked the boy's feet out from under him till he was sprawled on the floor. Several kicks to the ribs and one to the balls seemed enough really. He didn't need to go overboard.

His knuckled throbbed and he stared down at Barty, feeling horribly sick. He could barely breath, this was probably the worst thing he'd done here. Turning away, he couldn't even look. "Shit, shit, shit. I'm sorry. Shit."

Barty wasn't actually a bad fighter, under normal circumstances. But these circumstances were so far from normal that he didn't even have time to register what was happening before he found himself on the ground and then it was already quite a bit too late, he couldn't even figure out where up was anymore. Fighting back didn't really seem to be an option.

He tasted blood and when he rubbed his face he felt blood and he saw it on his face and he wasn't even sure how that had happened. And so fast. "Koschei? Why... Fuck." He held on to the wall in an attempt to at least sit upright. Breathing hurt. Everything hurt. "What the fuck?"

"I'm -- I -- I didn't --" Nothing came out right and in that moment, looking at Barty, he felt such anger inside him. Tom was ruining everything in his life, why did he even agree to do this? He could of protected Theta other ways! God, why couldn't he think any more? His head hurt so much. Being sober would helped. Hissing, he backed away and stumbled into the bathroom door, not sure if he could even get the right words out.

So, instead, he did what came naturally to him. He ran. Like the coward he was, he ran out of the bathroom and through the crowded dance floor, not stopping till he was finally away from Barty's sad and judgemental eyes.

It was Tom that found Barty, not too long after, but longer than necessary. It didn't matter though, Barty still clung to him, at least until Tom told him to stop so he'd not get his shirt dirty. In the end he just stumbled back to their room following after Tom, his head spinning, but no longer in a good way. He wondered what exactly had happened and Tom told him about Koschei and the drugs and it didn't make any sense, but nothing much did.

Only a few days later, when his face was no longer obviously bruised, he came out for classes again, keeping to himself the way he tended to. At least that part wasn't all that noticeable. Nothing much was noticeable, really, though something inside him had been broken and he knew it couldn't be fixed. Losing things he never had, like any chance at Tom and this... something he thought was there with Koschei really had no right to hurt as much as it did.
