*Y/n's POV*

I was currently finishing cleaning up my work station after my last booking. You see, I've been working as a bartender in a strip club for the last couple years or so. I worked in the private show rooms, so I saw the weirdest things from our clients. The girls on the stage knew how to single me to call security if things got too uncomfortable for them. Tonight we had another party, something about a 21st birthday or something. Some people think having first time drinkers might make my job easier, but it really isn't. They always order really complicated, strong things that get them shit-faced really fast, and they throw up cause they couldn't handle it, and I have to clean it up. Hopefully these are the type that are a little more careful with what they choose for themselves.

*timeskip*

The guys finally showed up. It was about 4 guys, about my age, maybe a younger, I wonder who the birthday boy is, they'd probably tell me, people get really chatty with me when they're drunk. The one leading them all in with him, Sano, a skinny guy with short black hair, maybe he was the birthday boy, he looked the youngest of them all, no, it wasn't him, he said it was his friend's birthday. There was another boy with blonde hair with purple streaks, he looked at least 22, and I think I'd seen him here before, moving on. There was the second tallest, who looked like he already had gray streaks in his hair, maybe he has kids, he looks the oldest, so definitely not him. Leading me to the last guy, dark skin, really muscular, the tallest of the group, he looked nervous, shuffling into the room behind his friends, bingo, there he is, mr. 21st.

"Welcome in guys! Your show girl will be out in a few minutes, I'll be your mixologist tonight, Y /n, is there anything I could get for you in the meantime? We have all types of snacks and drinks to choose from. The birthday boy gets his first two drinks on the house!" I gave them my standard greeting, adding in the last part while winking at the man. He was fairly cute, in my opinion, so I'd give him a nice gesture for his birthday, "I just need to know who's paying, if you're opening a tab for the night, and if you aren't ready to order, menus are right here." I brought up a little paper holder full of little menus that had our non-customised drinks choices and snack options.

"Thanks gorgeous, you guys go sit, I'll open a tab," Sano-san said, holding up his card, I don't know if he was trying to impress his friends, or me, but it wasn't working. I cringed at the complement he gave me, I had a feeling this one was the flirty type when he got drunk.

The other three went to sit down in front of the stage, talking amongst themselves while Sano approached me at the bar. He looked at me with an attempt at rizz, telling me he'd start a tab, taking four of the menus.

"My friend over there, with the black and blonde hair, that's Benkei, it's his birthday today," he said, "is there anything you'd recommend for him?"

"For him? Honestly something simple like a spiked lemonade if he's not into the stronger stuff, and to get his body used to the taste of alcohol, real simple, just rum and lemonade. But if he wants something on the heavier side, I'd suggest a cosmo, or a manhattan, good starters," I looked up, grabbing a glass, "if any of that sounds interesting to him or you, come back to me, if those don't suit his fancy, then he can come talk to me, and we can figure it out, finding out his palette won't happen in an instant."
