I did a double update, so check out the previous chapter if you haven't already.

"You might want to slow down." The bartender says with a small smile and his eyebrows high.

"You're the bartender, you have no say in how much I wanna drink my sorrows away." Sykkuno scoffs.

He tuts, "actually, I do. You see, we have a right to deny service to anybody."

"You wouldn't do that to me, would you, darling?" Sykkuno asks, trying to charm his way in.

He had met the bartender when he almost spilled the drinks on Sykkuno's lap and then had apologized at least a hundred times even though he technically did not spill anything, he was almost going to. Of all the people here, Sykkuno was interested in the bartender. He found that not so surprising. He always was known for falling for men who weren't how they appeared. Like with Corpse, he met the lad in a gas station toilet for fuck's sake.

Sykkuno shakes his head. No thought of Corpse tonight. He's here to have fun, and as bad as it is going right now, he hopes it'll get better.

"I wouldn't, but you're zoning out of at least two minutes before you answer my questions, so I think you're good for now." The bartender smiles.

"Oh fuck's sake, you and your good morals from Sutton Coldfield."

He gets a laugh out of him. Toast makes an entry right then. His cheeks look red and he looks jumpy. He grabs a chair near Sykkuno, sits down and hugs Sykkuno with such force it has the man choking. He squeals into his shoulder.

"Toast, what the hell." Sykkuno says, still gasping for air.

"Guess what?" He says when he pulls back.

"What?" He wheezes.

"Remember I told you a celebrity was going to make an appearance?"

"Yeah?"

"Guess who it is." He squeals into his hands again.

"I don't know, Chris Hemsworth?"

"No!"

"Then I have no idea why you're being this excited." Sykkuno hears a snort escape the bartender. He really needs to know his name.

"Ya cunt, Michael Reeves is going to be here."

"Ohhhh." Sykkuno draws out.

For the longest time, Michael Reeves had been an inspiration for Toast. And him being here is obviously a big deal for Toast.

"I'm gonna meet him, Sy!" Toast whisper shouts.

"You might wanna warm up to the girlfriend if you wanna get a word out of Reeves." A third voice speaks. Toast diverts his attention to the bartender who speaks like he knows something.

"I'm sorry, you are?" Toast asks.

"Troye." The bartender, who Sykkuno now has a name for, provides.

"Hi, Troye. I'm Disguised Toast."

"Nice to meet you, Disguised Toast." Troye replied, amused.

"Might wanna remember that name," Sykkuno says, "he'll be a big name in the streaming industry soon."

That makes a grin split on Toast's face. He loves it when Sykkuno is extremely supportive of his career.

"The lass can really help you out in that case." Troye replies.
