Born This Way (Mister Dom )

Living five miles from an event Daniel thought that he was going to be there soon, but traffic seemed to be a bitch and not to mention the line to get into the place. It was kind of annoying to go through metal detectors and such just to get into an event. Daniel sighed as he went through all the security check points and was showed where he was going to seat. He hope he didn’t have annoying people to seat with. Daniel was a people’s person, but some people just annoyed him. He sat down at the table and awaited to see who would be at his table. There was a rumor from the person that sat him down that one of the performers was going to seat at the table. Daniel just ignored the fact. He was certain none of the performers would want to mingle with the crowd.

{ooc - love Mister Dom in the subject lol}

Dom was quite excited today as he was attending a charity event, well more to the point he was asked to perform at the charity event and with Dom having a generous heart he jumped at the chance to be there and of course the fact that it was in his home town helped. Dom was a very generous person and was always giving to charities around the world. So he said he would be glad to perform and attend the event. Most stars before and after performing sat at a special table but not Dom; he was the type of person who liked to get out and mingle with the crowd and today would be no different.

He had on his attire for the event, calf high boots, black dress pants a grey shirt and his smart black leather jacket. He had just gotten his hair cut the day before and so it was sitting in the style he loved the best right now, with it spiked and the fringe layered going to the left over his eye and of course he had his eyeliner on too. Dom couldn’t go anywhere without his eyeliner. Dom knew that he wasn’t going to be the only star performing and there was a set list, Dom was down as the headline act and was pencilled in to perform at least two songs, but could do a third as long as the charity event didn’t run too late. So he planned to sing two of his most popular songs, ‘Whataya Want from Me’ and ‘For Your Entertainment’. He had called his band members the day he was booked for the event to make sure that they and his dancers would be available and they said they would be.

Dom met up with his best friend and bass guitarist Tommy Joe Merlotte at Tommy’s house and then they both made their way to the event. They had to arrive a good bit earlier than anybody else so that they could do their sound check. An hour later all acts performing had carried out their sound check and everything seemed to be going well. Dom’s band members and dancers weren’t ones for the limelight much and so they decided to relax backstage until it was their time to perform with Dom. Dom however couldn’t wait to mingle with the crowd and the soon as he made his way out and soon met one of the event organisers. “Oh Mister Salvatore you have been placed at this table with the other performers.” Dom shook his head, “No sugar, I don’t want to sit with the other performers, I would rather be in with the crowd, I like to think I’m as normal as they come and sitting up there just doesn’t appeal to me.” Dom said to the lovely woman and she nodded her head, “Very well then, I think there is a free seat at one of the other tables, follow me.” She said and Dom nodded his head and followed her.

Soon enough she stopped at a table where Dom could see a slightly older looking man was sitting and looking at him he didn’t look gay but that wasn’t bothering Dom at all, he’d still flirt around and have a bit of fun. Dom then looked at the woman who had brought him to the table and smiled at her, “Thank you sugar.” She then moved on and Dom before even sitting down, immediately struck up a conversation with the one person that was already sitting at the table. “Hi darling, so are you here because you want to be or are you here under duress?” Dom asked and giggled a little and wondered if he should introduce himself or not, although he figured that just about everybody knew who he was now but still it was good to be polite and so he held his hand out, “Dominic Salvatore, pleased to meet you darling.” Dom said calling him darling as that was just how Dom spoke to guys in general and he hoped that despite telling this guy was straight that he wouldn’t mind him calling him that although Dom was a kind and considerate person, if a guy told him they were uncomfortable with his use of the word he always tried to stop using it.

{ooc - I guess it did lol ♥}

When Dominic had asked the man at the table if he was there because he wanted to be or if he was there under duress meaning was he made to go Dom had to giggle a little at what he said in reply. “So you wanted to be here, and why would anybody want to ridicule you for darling, I think you are looking rather dashing.” Dom said and then gave the man a warm smile raising his eyebrow in the sexy way that he does so well. Dom had then held his hand out to introduce himself even though he knew that the man probably already knew who he was it was down to common courtesy for Dom to do the civil thing and introduce himself. The man took his hand and soon gave his own name and Dom smiled at him, “Well it’s a pleasure to meet you too Daniel Tesla and you can call me Dominic or Dom if you wish, Mr. Salvatore makes me sound like my dad.” Dom still hadn’t sat down at this point not because he wanted to stand for the event but because he was trying to see who was actually sitting at the table for the ‘stars’.

He then heard Daniel say that he was welcome to sit but it hadn’t quite registered with him right away as he continued to try and see who was sitting at the VIP table and then Daniel’s voice came back into his head again what with having an enhanced memory through being superhuman he didn’t forget anything that was said to him. He turned to face Daniel, “Sorry about that, I didn’t mean to ignore you darling, I was just interested to see who was sitting at the table I am supposed to sit at.” He then giggled a little and realised that he didn’t really recognise anybody who had been there, but then he imagined with him being the headline act for the night that the others were probably just artists staring out, after all Dominic had only been around for a couple of years, so yes he was a pop star in his own right now, very popular in Nevada, but he was just as unknown to the rest of the world as some of these stars at that table seemed to be to Dominic right now.

Daniel then asked him a question stating that it was going to sound weird and proceeded to ask him why he wasn’t sitting with the other performers. Dom wondered if he would have been asked that question. He gave Daniel a weak smile, “I prefer to mingle with the crowd, I might be a pop star darling and enjoy it, but I’m not one for making a fuss about things or myself, I don’t see what is so important about sitting at a VIP table that is all and so I requested to sit among the good people here because I don’t see myself as being above any of you darling.” Dom replied and was about to sit down when he saw Daniel stand up and wondered if there was a reason for him doing that as now Dom didn’t want to sit down in case he had missed something. “Is there a reason why you’re standing up suddenly darling? I was just about to sit down myself but I was wondering if you knew something I didn’t hence you standing up?” Dom asked and waited for a response. If it was just because Daniel felt like he wanted to stand for a while then he would soon ask if he would mind if he sat down, as he wanted to reserve his energy for his time on the stage later.

When Dom had asked why anybody would ridicule the man adding that he was looking rather dashing he had meant it as the man was very smartly dressed where as Dom was smart but more casual. The man soon replied saying that it was the truth and the wink he gave him didn’t go unnoticed by Dom but didn’t really think anything of it as he was pretty certain that his gaydar wasn’t picking up signals from this man as Dom could tell that he was straight, or at least so he thought. The man had then thanked him for his compliment sending it right back to him and this made Dom smile brightly at him. “Well thank you darling, I do what I can.” Dom actually took great pride in his appearance, always going to health spas and what not but was never really one to publicly talk about what he does to keep himself looking good.

They had then introduced themselves to each other and Dom had told Daniel to call him Dominic or Dom saying that Mr. Salvatore made him sound like his father. He didn’t mean to be nasty or rude about asking Daniel to call him Dominic or Dom, he just thought that Daniel would feel more comfortable calling him by his first name and it would indeed make Dom feel more comfortable also. Daniel soon said he could see what he meant but the tone of his voice sounded apologetic and Dom gave him a weak smile, “Thanks but there is no need to sound apologetic darling, I just thought it would make you feel more comfortable, I appreciate the fact you were so polite.” Dom said hoping he had explained his reasons properly now.

When Daniel said it was alright and added that he wondered if Dom knew anybody he shook his head, “That’s the thing darling, I don’t recognise anybody, I guess they must all be aspiring stars, I sort of understand why I’m the headlining act and nobody more famous such as Elton John, I guess they see me as important among those.” Dom said and shrugged his shoulders slightly as Dom never thought he was above anybody, yes he could understand that there singers and groups out there more established than he was, but he didn’t think they were better than him or he was better than anybody, they had just been around longer than he had, and he had been around longer than the ones sitting at the VIP table right now.

Once Dom explained his reasons for not being in the VIP section with the other stars he had to smile at Daniel’s response as he said he thought it was a good thing that he was mingling with normal folk. Daniel then added that he wasn’t one for VIP tables either. “Thanks darling, I think it’s good to be like this, besides it makes it easier for some of my fans to get autographs, nobody is allowed near the VIP section who aren’t classed as VIP’s, another reason why I hate being up there and the center of attention.” Dom said and gave Daniel a bright smile. When Daniel had then stood up just as Dom was about to take a seat he had asked Daniel why he had suddenly stood up and did he know something he didn’t. Daniel soon replied saying that he hated the chair saying that it was uncomfortable. Dom knew that it would be what with them being stuck with the plastic ones, he couldn’t understand why the VIP section had cushioned seats worthy of a theatre and the good people at the event were stuck with these horrible things.

He saw Daniel motion with his hand for Dom to sit but he shook his head. “I’ll be right back darling.” Dom said as he heard Daniel state that he would suffer and it was no biggie. Dom then marched up to the VIP section where he should have been sitting and soon located the empty chair that was his and picked it up. One of the event organisers raised their eyebrow at him. “Oh, I hope you don’t mind, technically this is my chair but as I don’t like being made a fuss of I am taking it down to the man I am currently sharing a table with, he finds the plastic seats uncomfortable and if you ask me, I don’t see why we can’t all have these seats, those people there and that includes me are no better than the crowd down here sugar.” Dom said and the woman just nodded her head at him not really saying anything. Then she seemed to find her voice, “I’ll let my boss know about what you have suggested.” Dom gave her a bright smile then, “Thank you so much sugar.”

He then made his way back to the table where he had left Daniel and once he was there motioned with his hand for Daniel to stand up. Once he had, Dom swiftly moved the plastic effort aside and pushed the plush cushioned chair in its place instead and then motioned for Daniel to sit back down. “There you go darling, hopefully you will find that much more comfortable.” Dom could care less about having the plastic seat; he was used to sitting on worse pieces of furniture while touring America, so a plastic seat for an hour or two until it was his turn to sing was nothing.
