Oh, the Misery - Arcane Male Reader Insert

IV: Happy Progress Day!

Three wooden mugs were picked up and each was filled with beer shortly after

Not completely, but just enough

That bartender placed them on the counter and offered them, announcing proudly with his fists on his waist

You: Here you go lads. It's on the house

In front of you, were Mylo, Claggor, and Powder, the former two were smiling widely

Claggor: Thanks, Y/N

Mylo: Bottom's up!

You chuckled at the reaction from your brothers as they picked up their mugs

Vander had left with Vi to attend some business, and he left you in charge of the rest of the group

But he also left you in charge of The Last Drop. Although it was closing time, and it was only the four of you

Hence why you were drinking freely

But then, out of the corner of your eye, you noticed a small hand reaching out for your mug

Acting out of instinct, you grabbed it only to find a surprised Powder, who yelped at your sudden reaction

You let go of her and smirked

You: Not so fast you. Still too young

Mylo rolled his eyes at this

Mylo: Seriously?

You stopped smiling to look at him

You: What? It's true

Mylo wiped his mouth and sat on the stool next to the little girl

Mylo: But so are we. Even you, Y/N

You crossed your arms

You: She's like four years younger than you

Claggor: I don't think age matters much down here, Y/N

Then, you shifted your disappointed gaze to the large boy, who was already halfway through his mug

You just shook your head

Mylo: C'mon. You can't always be there to protect her

Then, he shoved his mug closer to Powder, only for you to stop him midway

You: Alright alright

Then, you turned to the blue-haired girl, who was drawing with her crayons

You: Powder?

She stopped what she was doing to look at you

You: Do you want to try it?

You gestured at the mug. She looked at it, then at Mylo who was shakily giving her a thumbs up

And then at you

Then she smiled and shook her head. Powder had seen what some of these drinks did to the customers

Powder: Nah, I trust you, Y/N

You returned the smile and ruffled her hair. Mylo scoffed at her

Mylo: Whatever

He got up and walked to Claggor. Powder watched them goof around and leaned to the counter to whisper

Powder: Y/N?

You grabbed Mylo's empty mug and began to clean it

You: Yes, Blueberry?

Powder: What Mylo said isn't true right. You're always going to be here with me
