He knows how to get his way
Teki sauntered up to the entrance of the exclusive party, his confidence as unshakable as the stalagmites that lined the cavern ceiling. The bouncer, a tall man with an imposing stance, stood like a sentinel guarding the doorway to the most sought-after event of the year.
"Evening," Teki greeted with a sly grin, his voice smooth like velvet. "I heard this is the place to be tonight." He stood upright and kept a casual stance as his hand moved to rest on the golden ball of the fabric fence that was keeping him from entering the brightly lit building.
The bouncer raised an eyebrow, unamused. "Invites only," he replied curtly, his arms crossed over his broadly shaped chest. He moves his gaze to look forward- above where Teki’s height reaches as he expected the small succubun to move on with his day.
Teki leaned a little closer, undeterred by the bouncer's stoic demeanor. "Come on, you and I both know that rules are meant to be bent, just a little," he said, his eyes twinkling with mischief as his hand moved from the golden ball to the center of the soft rope.
The bouncer's expression softened ever so slightly as he brought his gaze back down to the shorter succubun, a hint of a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth. "And what makes you think you're special enough to bend them?"
With a playful chuckle, Teki responded, "Because I bring the life to any party, and let's be honest, a party isn't truly a party without Teki." Teki kept eye contact with the bouncer in front of him, though, it didn’t seem to work as well as he wanted since the taller succubun’s smile fell.
“I’ve heard that before- you’re not special,” he replied and once again moved his line of sight back forward. He missed the faltering composure of the smaller man. Teki took a quick moment to asses the man blocking his way in.
The blue-haired succubun brought his hands from the rope to the crossed arms of the beefy succubun. The touch forced the bouncer to look down and his eyebrows scrunched together. Teki smiled at him, “How about I cut you a deal?”
The bouncer stayed silent and squinted back at him suspiciously. Teki took this reaction as a sign to continue with his proposal, “What if you swing by the strip bar on the corner near the casino and I’ll get you a free room with me for tomorrow evening? Drinks will be free too.” Teki bit his lip as the two of them continued to hold eye contact with each other and Teki could see the bouncer genuinely debating his offer.
The bouncer considered Teki’s offer for a moment, the silence stretching between them. Finally, he let out a sigh and stepped aside as his and Teki’s arms fell. The bouncer’s hard stoic expression is now gone and replaced with a slightly flustered look. "Just this once," he said, "Don't make me regret it."
“Oh, you won’t- I’ll promise that,” Teki said with a smirk and was quick to slip past the bouncer and velvet rope and into the open double doors that were letting out bright lights. The bouncer's eyes trailed after the succubun entering the building before going back to his stoic stance by the velvet rope.
As Teki gracefully made his way in he mentally gave himself a little gold star for successfully getting his way- even if he had to offer his body in return, which was something he was used to by now. His eyes lit up at the scene in front of him. There were so many succubuns walking around in pretty dresses in suits, and so many wearing masks to cover their identities. As his eyes glided around they locked onto a familiar figure.
He sauntered his way up to the succubun and gave a soft tap to her shoulder. She turned, “Hi, how can I-... Teki?”
“The one and only!” He replied and framed his face with his hands.
“Oh, I didn’t know you got an invitation! Why didn’t you tell me?” Lavender asked with a small pout as she fully set down the flowers she was setting up.
“Oh, because I didn’t,” Teki replied in a matter-of-fact tone.
“Excuse me?” Lavender said, voice laced with confusion.
“I didn’t get invited,” he said, smile never leaving his face.
“Then… how did you get in?” Her voice grew suspicious.
“You know me. I have my ways of getting what I want,’ he chuckled and moved to pull her into a hug, “you won’t tell anyone, right?”
“Pft, of course not. Why would I rat out my best friend?” She replied with a chuckle of her own as she returned the hug. She pulled back before Teki, though.
“Know what this means?” She asked with a smirk.
“What?” Teki asked, his voice now the one showing confusion.
“I’m forcing you to dance with me!” She grinned and grabbed Teki’s wrist to pull him towards the center of the ballroom. Teki didn’t object or stop himself from being dragged again. Instead, he happily danced with his friend.
