Shut Up And Dance ( Eridan x Reader ) Oneshot

( I don't own the song included. )

"Hey [Name]!" Your two best friends in the entire world greeted you at your door when you opened it, and you stepped aside to let them inside. They were both in black short shorts, and wearing green shirts. You roll your eyes when you see that they were matching. They always did that when they went out in public. They walked into the living room, and you followed, sitting down on your couch. "So, ready purrr tonight?" Nepeta asked, making Jade giggle slightly at her puns. You could never understand their relationship; considering Jade was kind of a dog, and Nepeta was a cat. You inwardly shrug and answer.

"I guess..."

"Huh? What's wrong? You seemed excited when we asked you to come with us..."

"Oh no, I am still excited, Jade. It's just that, well.." You paused, a blush rising up onto your cheeks, "I don't have a date. You guys don't get it. You two have each other. Me, on the other hand; hasn't been out clubbing in months, let alone without a date." You said, rubbing your arm nervously.

And then, you felt two pair of arms wrap around you, "It'll be fine [Name]. You don't have to go if you don't want to. We just invited you so you could get out of he hive furr a change!"

"Plus, judging from your excessive amounts of romance stories you've posted on your page lately, I'd say you're getting lonely."

"I am not lonely! I just.. spend a lot of time by myself. And, I happen to like it that way." You said folding your arms over your chest, with a scowl. They both raised their eyebrows, before giving you a knowing look. You roll your eyes once more. "Okay, okay. So I'm lonely. You win. I'll go get ready." You said, and then proceeded to your room to get out the dress you had set out on your bed to wear earlier today, and put it on. You stare at yourself in the mirror for quite sometime, looking at your figure in the dress.

Kanaya made this dress for you just a few days ago. It was a violent purple, backless, knee-length dress, with black spots decorating it every few inches. To be honest, you were kind of uncomfortable showing your shoulders, but you didn't want to make Kanaya mad or sad when she gave it to you, so you were going to wear it regardless of how you felt in it. Your eyes shift from the dress to your face, before you pick up your concealer that sat on your dresser, and smear some on your face, blending it in with your brush afterward.

You don't really know much about make up, so that was all you did to your face, besides putting on some lip gloss and concealer. You didn't look like a model, but you didn't look like a slob either, which is exactly what you were going for. Last, you slip your feet into your slightly worn converse, and run from your room to Nepeta and Jade. They both turn from facing the tv, to looking at you in shock. Nepeta was the first to say something, "You look... amazing!!!" She squealed, a grin on her face, while nodded and smiled in agreement.

A blush rose on your cheeks once again, and you look down to hide your face, "Can we leave now..?"

"Of course! Let's go!" Jade said, grabbing yours and Nepeta's arm, and pulling you both out of your door, and to her car. On the way to where you assume the club was, she stopped to pick up Kanaya and Terezi, who rode in the back with you. You thought you were about to insane by the time you arrived at the destination, seeing as they argued the entire time, back and forth and back and forth. You had to stop yourself from strangling them at least twice, you swear.

When the car came to a stop you couldn't be more happy, and practically jump out of the car as soon as you got the chance. The outside of the club looked like any other old brick building; it only had one thing that told what it was, and that was the small sign hanging on the front of the door. As a group you walk toward the building, all of you smiling with excitement. When you got closer you could hear music booming from inside. You walk inside behind Jade, and see a swarm of people standing in a line, and you instantly loose all hope of getting in there anytime soon.

These people looked as if they had been waiting outside of the door for hours. But, strangely enough, Jade didn't seem too concerned about it at all, and she walked past the line and right to the security guard, saying something to him, and to your surprise, he moved to the side to let her enter. Before he moved back in front of the door you caught a glimpse of Jade motioning at you to come in there as well. You raise a brow, but decide you'd try to anyway. You walk up to the guard and he glares down at you, before asking, "Name?"

"It's [Name] [Last Name]." You said, as he just nodded and moved to the side for you to walk inside. You look at him in confusion for a few seconds, before walking nervously past him, and to Jade. You look at her, "How?"

"Dave."

"Ah." You shrug, and begin to walk behind Jade through yet another door, the other girls following behind you, and you finally found the source of the loud music. There in the left corner of the room, stood Dave being a DJ, with what looked like thousands of people swarming and dancing on the floor before you. While you were distracted by them, the others ran into the crowd and began to dance with them as well, and you stood there by the door, by yourself. You look around, not seeing them anymore in the ocean of people, and begin to panic.

Tears well in your eyes, and you look to find somewhere to sit down so that you wouldn't have to dance with all of these people, and a bit of relief washed over you when you see that the farther side of the right corner was nearly empty, with just one guy over there. You do your best to avoid bumping into anyone on the dance floor, eventually getting to the corner, and leaning against the wall, slowly sliding down to sit on the floor, hiding your face in your hands.

"Hey, um, are you okay?" You hear someone question beside you, and you peek through your fingers to see the other guy in the corner looking at you concerned. He had black hair with a purple streak front and center, a purple short sleeved dress shirt, tan dress pants, rings decorating everyone of his fingers.

"Do I look like I'm okay?" You hiss, glaring at him for second, before realizing how rude you had just been. "I'm sorry, I'm just kind of....panicking a little.." You said, closing your fingers back so your face was hidden once again. You hear shuffling beside you, feeling a new warmth beside you, before you felt a hand rub circles into your back. You sit in shock for a few seconds, and you didn't have time to stop yourself when you suddenly turned toward him and wrapped your arms around his neck, beginning to sob into his shoulder, shaking slightly.

Suddenly, you were lifted off the ground, and carried through a nearby door you hadn't noticed before, into an empty hallway. He set you down and closed the door behind him, before pulling you into a hug once again, as tears stained his shirt. After a few minutes the tears began to slow down, and you pulled away to look at him just a few tears falling now. "Thank y-you.." You stutter, "Sorry you had to see me like this.."

He raised a brow, "Don't apologize. It isn't your fault." He said, giving you a sad smile, which you returned the best you could. Just as you were about to thank him again, you hear the beginning of a song booming through the wall facing the dance floor; but, it wasn't just any song to you, it was your favorite song. A smile sprouted on your face, as you began to hum along. "Oh don't you dare look back. Just keep your eyes on me. I said, You're holding back, She said, Shut up and dance with me! This woman is my destiny. She said, Ooh-ooh-hoo, Shut up and dance with me!"

It didn't shock you when the two of you began to sway to the beat of the song, your arms still wrapped around each other; but on the other hand, it did shock you when he began to sing along to the song, and smiled down at you as he did. You instantly fell in love with his voice, and began to sing along with him. You two progressively got louder and more hyper, to the point where you were both practically yelling the lyrics, and dancing away.  "We were victims of the night, the chemical, physical, kryptonite. Helpless to the bass and the fading light. Oh, we were bound to get together, bound to get together."

"She took my arm,I don't know how it happened. We took the floor and she saaaaaid!!"

"Oh, don't you dare look back, just keep your eyes on me." You sang, a grin present on your face.

"I said, "You're holding back,"." He sang, his grin still there as well.

"She said, "Shut up and dance with me!""

"This woman is my destiny,"

"She said, "Ooh-ooh-hoo, shut up and dance with me."
