### Sex God Saga 28
### Mystery Unraveled
Still SATURDAY:
Neon Sin was always a flood of Vibrancy and on the weekend before Halloween even more so.
The Stygian lifestyle Paris and Damien were living would probably go on Theo's nerves eventually, but for now he had no trouble joining every party.
His collar was a chain, held around his neck by a tiny padlock. He wasn't dressed too risquΓ© otherwise, but he was horny enough he'd have danced naked if his master had only said a word. His costume consisted of a skeleton print shirt and shorts.
Ray had come along, whiskers painted onto his face, the leather vest open. His curly hair bounced around a cat ear headband as he grinded on Theo from the back, always vanishing in the crowd for minutes at a time.
Fulin was Theo's main dance partner, aggressively pulling the blond into any shape the Primal wanted. His shirtless body and ragged jean shorts drew plenty of glances. His lazy costume consisted of sweatbands -- he'd chickened out on the full wrestling-uniform dare.
Fulin kept giving tongue kisses. Theo felt almost bad for not using his power a little, seeing how greedy the alpha kissed. He was about to ask for consent when Ace danced up to them and hip-shoved Fulin aside.
"T-boy," Ace yelled. "There's someone who wants to say hi."
The neon lights shifted to amber and magenta.
"Oh," Theo made. "Hi Cred."
The Redeemer had gotten a fresh fade for his fauxhawk. Red horns sat atop his head. He wore normal clothes -- dark t-shirt and bleached jeans -- which made him feel ten times gentler.
Sacred greeted with a nod. "My first party. It's so overwhelming, I'm not even sure what to think. I might be having a blast or a meltdown."
Theo pulled him to the edge of the dancefloor. "You don't dance, I'm guessing? Do you drink?"
"No. I'm actually busy chaperoning. Right there."
Theo followed Sacred's finger as the room's glow turned to teal and purple.
A shirtless, pale twink with a plain face was dancing so wild it looked like he was having a seizure standing up. Red contact lenses, bat necklace, glow-in-the-dark suspenders holding up shimmering trunks.
"Eucharist?" Theo mouthed.
Sacred shoved his way through the crowd, getting them closer. He yelled into Theo's ear. "I got him to cut off at two beers but we'll see if he doesn't forget that promise. Can you help me keep an eye on him?"
"Sure... Are those tattoos?"
An upside down pentagram decorated the back of Eucharist's neck. Black letters ran between his shoulders, spelling "Heretic" in a fancy font. As they came closer, Theo also saw the outline of a devil's face with its tongue out on the bicep, not yet finished.
Sacred's sigh was swallowed by the music. "I got him to delay the *really* extreme ones until the meds kick in. One day I'll be happy for him even if I disapprove right now. That's today's therapy-speak mantra."
"Hey Chris," Theo said and coaxed Melody to give them a slightly quieter environment. The air flickered and the music seemed to drop a level, perhaps echoed a bit louder to the Baseliners around them.
"Hail Satan, but I'm not Chris tonight," Eucharist said. "I'm Abaddon. Trying out different names."
"Sure thing, Abaddon."
Sacred rolled his eyes. "Just glad we moved on from 'Beelzebub'."
"Too much of a mouthful," Abaddon the sweaty twink said.
Theo just nodded. "Nice tats."
"I got a piercing, too. Wanna see?"
Abaddon pulled down his trunks. He was freeballing. A PA ring hung on his dickhead. It looked too big for his rod.
Sacred forcefully pulled the younger man's pants up. "Not here, by the lord's merc- I mean, Jesus fucking Crist. You'll get us all kicked out."
Theo threw his arm around Sacred. "Buddy, you're doing an admirable job but you desperately need a break. You're supposed to have fun. I'll be right back."
Theo wound his way through the crowd. Lights turned cherry and cyan.
In front of Saint George stabbing a neon tube into a dragon, Cain was bobbing his head, holding a fizzy drink, looking younger than ever. He wore a white shirt with three kitten-eared ghosts poking out of a pumpkin on it that said "My Ghouls My Rules". His eyes were in their natural, pure white state.
He chatted with Mako who looked fantastic in a pastel pink, sleeveless hoodie, equally pink bunny ears adorning his head.
"Hey Cain, having fun?" Theo asked.
"All thanks to you," Cain said in monotone. "First time I'm at a party and not just thinking about survival. I'm surviving now, it just hit me. I'm alive as fuck."
Theo initiated a kiss and broke his rule about not using his power without consent or in public. Cain didn't noticeably react even as third gear sex magic was pumped from tongue to tongue. So convenient to have a boyfriend like that.
"Thanks, hole," Cain said, making bedroom eyes. "All topped up now."
"We were just talking about you," Mako said. "Well, mostly we talked about music. The little one-"
Cain grumbled, "Same height, though."
"-has a lot of catching up to do with music before he's worthy of my friendship. Even more than you, ex-neighbor."
"Not to be too forward but can I ask a favor?"
Mako laughed. "You realize you could *order* me around, right? No other sex beast in this world."
"Eerie, hearing you say that."
"Eerie-sistible," Cain deadpanned. "He's just being honest. Creeping it real."
"Let's not set that precedent," Theo said with a chuckle. "I'm following Paris' loving slaveholder footsteps. Can you just babysit Abaddon? The Redeemer formerly known as Eucharist?"
Mako nodded. "Can do."
"Feeling gourd about it," the Ghoul added.
"Ha, thanks. I'll be back."
Cain waved after him. "Bugs and hisses."

The lounge Paris had reserved was filled with the Onyx Skies prince and his elder brother on the sofa, Ray Johnston dancing with Ace at the banister and Fulin jamming with his eyes closed, draped over Paris.
"I figured you'd like the view," Theo said. "You can keep an eye on your crazy cousin and at the same time relax a bit."
Sacred nodded without eye contact. "Sounds good. I wish he'd stop switching names but, you know, the mantra. He'll find himself or whatever. I think we talked more, and more openly, than ever in our lives."
"That's good a least. Want to sit down or..."
Sacred turned to him. "Can you pulse me?"
"W-woah."
"Sorry, too forward. With the whole deprogramming I'm wondering if I should question my sexuality more. It's on my long list of things to question."
"Maybe do that with a less, uh, magic gay guy? My power is blessing and curse in one. Ask... *anyone* present here for their opinion."
Sacred chuckled. "If I'm honest, which is what I want to be, I'm insanely curious about what it feels like. Apparently it blew Eu- Abaddon's mind."
