Why this must be read: A sinister change in mood from the usual club fics, this is a cool and creepy little AU ghost story in which NYU film student Dom finds himself haunted by two alluring men. An old Hispanic legend is woven neatly into the story, giving it a strong resonance that's hard to shake off.

"You come here more frequently now," Dominic comments, leaning against the bar.

"Not really," Orlando replies, sipping a martini. "I've been here pretty much every night."

Dominic's brow furrows. "I didn't see you."

Orlando smiles. There's something cold and sharp in his eyes. "You see me when I want you to see me."

"I don't understand."

"This is my favorite club. My local haunt, if you will. I know it pretty well." He makes no further attempt at explanation, and Dominic doesn't ask again.

"Why this place?" he asks instead. "It's kind of a dive."

Orlando shrugs with a loose-limbed elegance that makes Dominic's heart skip a beat. "I don't know. Something about it. Don't you have a favorite sort of club? Not the place you go the most often, but the one you save for really special occasions, for the nights you feel great and know you're going to get lucky. Not because it's the trendiest or most popular, but because there's something there, a certain magnetism you can't quite put your finger on. You know?"

Dominic thinks about that one club with the DJ with the wide blue eyes, and nods. "Yeah."
