I got a driver so I'm never alone

Sebastian Ellington-Aragona

I thought you knew I was filthy rich
I thought you knew I never answer my phone
I thought you knew I was a late night with a bad bite I thought you knew.

Sebastian, by habit, tended to avoid the exchange of names whenever possible. It was a rule from his bachelor days when he tended to disappear entirely the night after he had indulged in whatever he had desired from the women, and men, he bedded. The blonde woman in front of him was no different. She was quick to offer her name though it was a rather one sided exchange as Sebastian mere offered her a warm smile. "It is a pleasure to meet you Piper," He commented, altogether aware that the intensity of those pheromones that so surrounded the pair would, undoubtedly, make her care little of his own name. He watched as her hand reached up to twirl a wayward blonde lock around her finger as Sebastian inquired after what had brought her to this dance club tonight, of all nights. The last thing he'd expected, admittedly, was that it was her birthday. Birthday girls, after all, tended to be surrounded by their closest friends, partying in little cliques that made them wholly difficult to prey upon. That she was alone, for her birthday, was...unusual. His brow rose as Piper corrected herself, insisting she had a few days until the actual day, that almost giddy smile still present upon her features. "Well, happy birthday, darling." He offered her in return. Any other words he might have given her, however, were interrupted by the presence of not one, but three bartenders.

Their sudden arrival certainly caught Sebastian off guard, his brow rose ever so slightly though he hardly thought too much of it as he placed his order, only to offer a drink to Piper as well. She was quick to place her order, waving off the bartenders as if they were a mere annoyance before her hand was placed delicately upon the hard planes of his chest. The prospect of dancing however, prompted a small simper to his features. His lips parted, the vampire inclined to accept her offer before a hand reached out to grab him, the woman it belonged to near threw herself upon him, only to stare up at him with an almost glazed over look to her features. 'Hi, handsome.' She cooed, only for another woman to his right to reach out and stroke his arm with an almost loving caress. "Erm.....hello?" Sebastian half inquired, his usually suave demeanor momentarily faltered and yet, how quickly Sebastian became away that they were hardly the only ones. The crowd behind them had somehow swelled with hands that reached out to him, touching his arms and chest, gripping at his pantline, he was certain someone's hands had wandered towards his butt. This....nothing like this had ever happened before. The crowds and fans were usually carefully partitioned off from the Prince behind barricades and police presence. "Will!" His voice could hardly be heard over the beat of the bass, his bodyguard, however, seemed far more interested in making out with the girl Sebastian had been trying to interest him in. At the very least he'd managed to succeed at something!

The Englishman hardly realized the offending hand that reached out to him when so many were already upon him, the vampire, in turn, was pressed as close to the wooden counter behind him as he could be, though it made little difference. It was the sharp snap that dragged Sebastian's attention from attempting to fend off the feverish woman who was presently nearly attempting to grope him when he noticed William's attention had returned to him - that shout was one Sebastian couldn't agree with more. "How?!" He shouted back, though it seemed William already had a plan up his sleeve as he hoisted the young brunette up and on top of the bar, only for the girl to slide off and onto the other side in relative safety. By some stroke of grace, the blonde beside him was quick to follow suit, lifting herself up and over the bar top. It took some effort, and assistance from Will, to disentangle himself from the hands that were grabbing at him, Sebastian only just barely managed to get over the bar before the crowd near roared it's displeasure. Will was swift to pull out his dagger, the sharpened point alone garnered him the smallest inch of space, just enough for the Dark Hunter to pick himself up and scramble over the bar as best as he could. Sebastian's gaze was wholly intent upon his best friend, the Englishman oblivious, at that moment, to the bartender until his hands roughly grabbed his oxford, turning him in place. Any response he might have offered his best friend was cut off entirely as the bartender kissed him - only for the man to be pried off of him and tossed into the opposing wall.

The slam of his body into the glass shelves caused several of the bottles to rain down, shattering underfoot. Sebastian could hear Emerance's scream, though he was almost too stunned to react before another pair of hands reached across the bar to grab at him. They alone broke the spell upon the Englishman and, deftly, he stepped out of grasp, just in time for William to push himself and the two accompanying girls into the back room of the bar, the door slammed behind them with a heavy thud. That inquiry from his best friend caused Sebastian to glance down at himself - the vampire was...wholly intact, albeit a bit...more shaken up then he wished to admit. "I....I don't know." He glanced up at Will, hardly aware that Piper hadn't moved despite being commanded to do so. Rather, it was the flash of a pale pink color that distracted the Englishman, enough to eye both the hands of his closest companion and the girl standing beside him. Oh. His lips parted and yet, before he could even voice a word, the brunette girl stepped closer towards him, that hint of clarity she'd had seemingly lost as she inquired with genuine concern, 'Are you okay?' The dark blue of his gaze glanced up at Will as he rose his hands in a gesture of innocence as he stepped back away from all three of them. "I don't know how to stop it." He commented, that English lit holding within it a distinctly rare hint of vulnerability from the usually confident Incubus.
