Rundown: Ian goes to a club to get a drink and meets a hot bartender
Words: 2276
************************************
It was Saturday afternoon Ian had just finished his shift working as an EMT, it was his dream job and every day for once he liked going to work, for one he got to save lives and on top of that the people he met there were generally nice.
He had been planing to check out a bar one of his work friends recommended him so he messaged Lip to see if he would want to go with him, usually he was always down to go to a club and drink his face off with Ian so he thought he would try his luck, Ian never liked showing up to clubs and party's alone it always was so awkward sitting at the bar having drink after drink and having no one to share his buzz with

Fuck he thought to himself, Ian considered bailing on going but the weather was cold and snowing and all he wanted was one drink to warm him up as the heater at home wasn't working properly
He ducked home and got changed into a white plain t-shirt and dark blue jeans as well as a brown leather belt and threw on his old shoes, he went to the bathroom and wet his hair combing it back to look neater than before and splashed his face with cold water
This was going to be his last night at home as he was just moving out into his new apartment of course his first time meeting neighbours the next morning shouldn't be with a hangover so he promised himself he wouldn't drink to much just for that reason
Going down stairs he threw on his jacket and headed to the club, it wasn't necessarily a gay bar as far as he heard but he wasn't exactly looking to get with anyone anyways so it didn't really matter to him
He arrived at the address his friend gave him and immediately knew it was the place, the music was loud enough to hear from outside and from across the street he could see the lights flashing different colours
He took a deep breath and walked in immediately scanning the place, his eyes wandered from the people to the DJ to the bar, he slowly made his way to the bar and sat on a stool near the corner closest to the exit for when he wanted to leave at some point
Soon he saw the bartender at the other side of the bar shaking up a drink for someone, he watched as he poured the drink and how his arms moved, the man was wearing a plain black shirt and black jeans that fit his body so well, even in the light he watched as his muscles showed through his shirt, the music died down slightly as he found himself fixated on the person across from him
The bartender soon finished up with the drink and Ian snapped out of his gaze and back into reality, he saw as he handed the man his drink and how the guy grazed his fingers suggestively
The bartender rolled his eyes and turned away scanning to see if there was anyone waiting, his head turned and he made eye contact with Ian, Ian was startled and quickly looked down praying it wasn't as obvious as it felt
"Hey"
Ian looked up to see the bartender now in front of him, only now was he absolutely star struck the man looked hot from across the bar but from here Ian could see his face and his hair, dark and perfectly slicked back, it took him a minute to realise the guy was talking to him and he remembered he could talk
