@magdalena <3 Nikolai was having one hell of a time trying to figure out his feelings. He had finally begun getting over his fear of touch, at least with Magdalena. She was the first person in a long time that he's had physical contact with. And it wasn't just scary and great all at the same time, it was enticing and lovely.
He hadn't seen her in a few days, and since they hadn't gotten her a new job, he was a bit annoyed that she was still working at the club. However, Nikolai would do anything to see her.
Dressing up in silk grey dress pants, a black long sleeved button down T-shirt and dress boots, he made his way into Club Indigo. Niko swiftly moved past people, not touching them. This was a great skill he had learned, especially being Seeker. His feet brought him straight to the bar.
As he ordered, and awaited his drink, he glanced around. There were tons of people here...and yet he couldn't quite spot Olli.

@jill9 Magdalena knew she was falling hopelessly head over heels for the eldest Krum. It was terrifying, and exciting, and made her head spin. She wasn't sure how to feel or what to think anymore. Just that he consumed her thoughts like a wild fire. The past few days had been torture, not seeing him.... The last time she'd seen him was her last day off, and thoughts of that encounter made her heart race even now. He'd intended to find a new job for her on the day, but luck hadn't been on their side. So here she was. Still at the night club. Working.
She was weaving through the crowds with her usual cat like grace. It was packed tonight. Normally she would have loved it, she'd be high as could be without a care in the world. But she couldn't get those intense green eyes out of her mind... Each time a patron intentionally got to close she skirted away, smiling in a way that almost said "no touching", because they weren't the person she was so consumed by....
Obviously her coworkers had noticed the behavior. They'd seen it plenty times before. The bar tenders in particular, who basically saw everything. So, when one is then saw the young man searching the crowd with his eyes before settling on the dark haired dancer. The bartender smiled. "You've got good taste in women, kid. But bad timing. You won't get anywhere with her."

@magdalena <3 Nikolai continued glancing around, even when the bartender gave him his drink. He sipped it slowly, his heart beat becoming faster as he saw her brown hair amongst the crowd. God, she looked gorgeous. And even though her clothing wasn't what he would like her to be wearing, or like her to be in this club, his eyes were only on her.
The bartender interrupted his thoughts. Niko looked up and him, his eyebrows raised. "Bad timing? Why is that?" Was she dating someone? Was there someone else? And he had just been touching her the other day, very intimately! A flash of anger coursed through Nikolai's body. There better not be anyone other than him. Or they'd have a big problem.

@jill9 Magdalena hadn't noticed him yet, how could she? She was currently quite efficiently evading another patron and didn't have time to look at the bar. If she had noticed him? She would have been over immediately.
The bartender shrugged, setting the class on the counter he'd been cleaning and motioning to the girl. "Someone else has already stolen her heart. See how she's moving? Not letting anyone touch her."

@magdalena <3 Nikolai watched Magi as her body moved. Watching her like this seemed wrong, but be couldn't take his eyes off her. The way her body moved, her facial expressions. Niko tried to get himself to be okay with it because of how their last meeting went, but watching dirty old men try to grab at her was making his blood boil. As was the words this bartender was speaking.
At the mention of Magi not letting anyone touch her, he spoke to himself silently saying that was good. But... Why wasn't she letting anyone touch her? Who had her heart? Niko was staring at her eyes, waiting to see if she'd notice him over here. "I can see why someone would want her heart..." Niko trailed off, sipping his drink.

Before the bartender spoke again, Magdalena had looked their way, her hair falling into her face as it often did when she left it down, but it did make it difficult to see. What she did she though she didn't believe, and had to do a double take, brushing her hair from her face. There was Nikolai, at the bar. Dashingly handsome, his eyes intent on her. She felt her heart, which was already beating fast from the music and running around, skipped a beat. "I think she's spotted you." the bartender noted as she immediately started making her way over. She couldn't hide the smile on her lips from growing bigger. "Nikolai! what are you doing here?" she sounded surprised, shocked, and extremely happy.

@magdalena <3 The bartender mentioned her spotting him, and when Nikolai looked back to Magdalena, he saw her making her way towards him. His heart skipped a beat, and he licked his lips as they became very dry.
"Magdalena." He nodded his head at her. Goodness, her smile was beautiful. But, he was angry. He couldn't believe that she loved someone, who wasn't him. "Well, I was looking for you. I hadn't seen you in a few days."

The bartender had started to prepare a second drink as she approached the bar, offering it to her as she approached. He knew her, at least her work self, pretty well. Especially her drink of choice. To his surprise, she shook her head, silently declining. That didn't happen often. In fact, as he got a good look at her he realized she was stone cold sober. That was even more schooling then refusing the drink. But she didn't want to drink around Nikolai. She didn't want him to see her like that again. That was when the bartender put it all together. This wasn't just another patron. This young man was the one behind her behavior. He was the reason she looked so love sick. He was the one that had stolen her heart.
Magdalena noticed the anger immediately. She shouldn't have been surprised. He didn't like the club, at all. The fact that he'd come in looking for her? It made her cheeks feel warm and her smile brighten. "You wanted to see me?" she repeated, that warmth in her cheeks and chest burning a little hotter. Taking the stool next to him, she tilted her head to the side, still smiling. "Hey, question. Do you dance?"

@magdalena <3 As soon as Magdalena walked up to the bar he noticed the bartender making her a drink. Nikolai rose an eyebrow, and he was shocked when she denied the drink. Niko himself had a drink in his hand, but it was the only one he was going to have, and it was still full.
She sat down in the chair next to him and gave him a smile. Niko forced a smile at her, nodding his head. "Yes, I wanted to see you." Nikolai didn't really want to start an argument with her inside, so he kept quiet. She asked if he danced, and his eyes narrowed slightly. "I do." Growing up in the Krum family, there were a lot of family parties.

@jill9 Magdalena was starting to think his anger wasn't just about this place like she'd first thought. There seemed to be something else, underneath that he wasn't saying. As his eyes narrowed and he said he did know how to dance, she raised an eyebrow. "Well.... Do you want to dance?" she asked honestly. She felt like the offer had been pretty obvious, but she forgot that he didn't have that much experience with girls.

@magdalena <3 Nikolai rose an eyebrow to her. He took another chug of his drink and stood up. Niko moved his head slightly as in a yes. Holding his hand out to her, his heart beating fast, he didn't know what he wanted to say to her. Was she in love with some random person? Or was the bartender speaking of him? Niko didn't know.
All he knew was that he wanted to kiss her, he wanted to hold her. But according to the man behind the counter, she was in love. And Niko had a big feeling that it wasn't with him...

@jill9
Magdalena's heart fluttered as he stood, nodding and offering her his hand. A part of her hadn't thought he'd agree. What with having problems touching people.... Heck, part of her wondered if he'd even be able to touch her again. Last time had taken him some time to work up to, and then she'd been the one to run away out of fear of what was happening between them. She'd never thought about, or really ever wanted to fall in love. She just wanted to have a good time. And here she was, getting the two mixed up. Because she wanted to be with him...
She smiled again, standing up herself and carefully taking that offered hand and leading him towards the dance floor. Her gaze never left his.

@magdalena <3 Magi didn't speak. But she did take his hand, and when their fingers touched he felt electricity and Niko gasped. Was this how it was always going to be when they touched? He couldn't imagine...
The music began and Nikolai began dancing with her. His body moved to the beat of the song, and he made sure he wasn't making too much contact with her. He wanted to enjoy the contact, have it be shocking to his body. "How is work, Olli?"

@jill9 Magdalena had to tone her dancing down a lot, forcing herself to match the pace he set, not making any physical contact unless he initiated it, not doing anything to flamboyant or 'provocative' It was infuriating, to a degree. She wasn't used to restraining herself in such a way. But it also made her heart beat faster, just because of how close he was. She made sure that each time anyone else came to close to Nikolai to move just enough to keep them out of his space, that no mans land that he tried to keep to himself. The space he'd only just started letting her into. The only time her gaze ever left his was when she made those small adjustments, before returning to peer into those intense eyes that she loved and hated in the same breath.
Neither spoke for a long time, and it was actually Nikolai that spoke first, and chuckled at the question. "It was pretty boring until you showed up." she flirted lightly.

@magdalena <3 As they danced, he did notice she had turned it down quite a bit from the way she usually dances. Nikolai raised an eyebrow at her, but he was thankful for her dancing around to make sure people didn't get too close to him. It relieved a lot of stress he had from coming here. As he danced, Niko leaned forward slightly, her being extremely close, and he whispered into her ear, "Dance for me, Olli."
Niko smirked at her. "Boring, yeah? Not according to that bartender..."
