A male behind the counter let out a tired yawn as he finished polishing a shot glass. Soft jazz could be heard behind the sound of people chattering. The bar's lights were kept dim, allowing only a minimal amount of light to reflect off of the wooden counter. The green haired man smiled to himself as he spoke with regulars.
The smell of cigarettes lingered on his clothes; The dark black suit contrasted the bright assortment of alcohol behind him. The high-class bar quickly came well known throughout the busy city. The lavish decor and scenery allowed for the perfect setting to drink and chat grow.
An old friend smiles as he slides into an empty bar stool. His eyes linger on Zihao's form as his head rest on his hand. Letting out a small cough, he sends a playful smile towards the male. Zihao's gaze drifts from the customers and to the person sitting opposite of them. Rolling his eyes teasingly, he excuses himself politely.
"Long time no see, let me guess you're here to complain about your students again?" Zihao taunts as he begins to pour a drink.
Hu lets out a soft laugh before rolling his eyes. "I never knew Aizawa would be such a strict instructor."
"You say that like he wasn't our teacher." Finishing the drink, he slides the cup over to Hu.
"Aw look at you remembering my drink, maybe it's a sign." Hu sends him another wink as he sips from the straw.
"Haha, so funny. You've only ordered a pink vodka lemonade ever since I opened the place." The greenette scoffs as he begins a drink for another customer.
"I'm just sayinggg, if you ever want to get married, I'm always up for grabs." He raises his arms defensively as he smirks.
"Orrr you could marry someone better." A new voice says as he takes a seat next to Hu.
"Hardy-har har-har." Zihao laughs sarcastically. "No thanks. But I am a little surprised to see you here birdy, don't you work tonight?" He raises an eyebrow as he slides a cup of water to Keigo.
"Work can wait, I always have time for you." Hawks winks as he raises his drink up slightly. The blonde ignores the pair of eyes glaring at him as he flirts shamelessly.
"What am I going to do with you two?" Zihao mutters to himself as he walks away. Leaving the two to bicker about who gets to marry him.
--------------------
Zihao glares at the two males passed out on the counter, all he did was leave to clean up the now empty tables. But of course, the two would have a drinking competition. Groaning to himself, he locks up the front door. Keigo's usual jacket laid discarded on the floor, his wing tattoo poked out of the top of his collar. The red ink was slightly faded due to it being done years ago with a regular needle.
Rolling his eyes, Zihao throws a blanket on the two before turning off the lights. "They'll wake up at some point." He huffs. Closing the door behind him, he makes the journey upstairs to his apartment.
