♡"Workday Calls!"

"Here's your drink, sir!"
..The well-loved bartender purred out, smiling as he slid a drink across the counter towards a desk. The man nodded, tilting his head back to chug it down.
..Sparkling chuckled, glancing to the clock, hands pointed to around '11:02'.

As usual, practically every guest had left already, the morning rush finally coming to an end. The bartender sighed, picking up a dirtied glass, alongside a wipe, to clean it up, and to tidy-up his workplace a bit; Afterall, there were drinks spilled on the ground, and along the countertop; He didn't want it to start sticking, that would certainly be a mess to clean.

Whilst idly humming along to the song strumming throughout the bar, Sparkling was alerted by the bell on the door ringing, and someone stumbling towards his counter, a few mutters escaping the other few next to him.

"Ah, Vamp, Minty n' Herb! Glad to see ya!"
Sparkling called out, waving at them. Herb and Mint Choco gave an attempted wave back, attempting to hold Vampire up with their other arms.
..They eventually got him dragged towards a seat, both having to put in effort to lift him onto the stool. The bartender snickered, tossing his towel aside to prepare them their usuals.

..Vampire loudly mumbled to himself in the background, whilst Mint Choco tried to keep conversation with him. The bartender finished up what he was doing, sliding the drinks towards the regulars. Herb and Mint both gave appreciative smiles, but Vampire could really only mumble whilst gripping the glass.

Smiling, Sparkling turned back around to finish fixing up the station, humming. The others kept up some idle talk, to which, he would occasionally chime in with a small comment.
..Eventually, he flinched when his phone began to go off, his ringtone playing loudly. Everyone else paused as Sparkling picked it up, reading the contact name and immediately recognizing it as his boyfriend.

He pressed the bright green 'Answer' button, deciding to put the call on speaker, like usual.

"Hello, dear! How's your shift going??"
..His lover's loud voice echoed through the phone, getting a couple of giggles from the group.

"It is going amazing Mads, how're you holdin' up at home..?"
Sparkling questioned, turning a bit pink. He could hear Madeleine giggling from the other side of the line, indicating that he had something to share.
(..Secretly, Sparkling prepared for the teasing he'd be facing...)

"Well..I may or may not have bought a huge gift for you?"

..Oh.
Everyone else laughed a bit, leaving Sparkling in silence; On the other side of the line, his lover questioned why exactly he went so silent, the only sound being the giggling from his guests.

"T-that sounds lovely, hon! I can't wait to return home, heh..!"
The bartender stammered, barely even able to grip his mobile device from how slippery it suddenly became. From the corner of his eye, he spotted Vampire, faking a kissing-motion. Sparkling gave him a glare, before focusing once again on his call.

..They continued chatting, to the point where the other's faded from Sparkling's mind, and he began to focus more on talking to his lover than on his friends making fun of him.

"Alright, darling- It's almost the noon-rush, I'll see you when I get home!"
He giggled a bit, maybe a bit terrified due to the crowds of people he'd face.

"Awwe..Alrighty! I love you, Sparky!!"
The knight cheered from the other side, pulling a chuckle from the bartender.
..After saying many more goodbyes, the couple hung up the phone, causing Sparkling to notice just how much time had passed.

"Ha! You're so cheesyyy!!"
Vampire slurred out, accidentally spilling some grape juice on himself. Sparkling grumbled, giving him a practical death glare, whilst sliding him the expensive bill as payback.

..Yet, the bartender simply continued on with his work, excited to get home and greet his lover.
