John made his way to work once again, but not before stopping at his favourite bar to have breakfast, he entered the bar and took a look around, he spotted Izan, and went to sit down on a stool at the counter, another bartender walked towards John
«good morning, what can I get you?»
They smiled slightly, and John responded
«a latte and a simple croissant, thanks»
The bartender nodded and walked away.
Then John noticed Ian was about to pass by, so he waved at him to get his attention, Izan noticed, he smiled slightly and waved back before walking away, john smiled, and caught himself thinking that the guy was cute, before snapping out of it and blushing slightly, he hid his face in his hand, then the other bartender arrived with John's order, he payed and started eating, while trying to sneak some looks towards izan.
After breakfast John went to work.
Arrived at the station, he went to his co-workers to see if they'd gathered more information about the velvet dagger, buy unfortunately nothing much was found, there didn't seem to be any new victims currently, And that limited their opportunities to investigate on the hitman.
The rest of the day went on without too much fuss, John went on patrol with an officer called noemy, and after that he had to deal with some traffic control, then he could finally get off work.
As he was walking home, he bumped into someone, and he turned around to apologize
«oh, sorry-»
But as he finished his sentence the person he bumped into was already running down the street, John shrugged it off and went home.
The day after it was his free day, ‹finally.› he thought. He got up from bed and got dressed in casual clothes, a plain black t-shirt and a pair of baggy pants with a little chain hanged to them.
He walked towards his favourite bar, got it, and sat down on the usual stool, after a bit someone asked him what he wanted, John recognised the voice, and turned to see Izan next to him.
He smiled and answered the question
«hello there, I'll get a frappucino, thanks»
Izan nodded and got behind the counter to make him his drink.
After a bit he came back and handed the drink to John
«there you go»
«thanks.»
John said with a little wink.
He drank his frappucino with no hurry as he watched Izan slide between the tables like if he has been doing it for a while, which he probably has.
When izan was back behind the counter to make an order, John took his opportunity
«so, tell me... What do you do after work?»
He asked with a smirk
«oh? Well, nothing much, I guess I'll just go home and sleep. Why would an officer ask such questions? You aren't planning to take me as a suspect of something, are you?»
Izan said joking around, John chuckled slightly.
«nah, just curious, I wanted it ask you if maybe you wanted to hang out, you know...? Maybe go have a drink together or go to the park...»
For how much John tried to play cool, his hands started sweating.
Izan thought for a moment, before nodding a bit and answering
«sure, why not, but I get off work a little late, like at 8pm, is that ok for you?»
«of course! Maybe we can have dinner together, it doesn't need to be anything too fancy, we could go to a fast food, what do you think?»
John was so happy Izan agreed, he was trying to contain himself inside the bar.
«Alright then, see you at 8 there?»
«sure. Bye»
John said as he got up and paid for his frappucino before waving at Izan and walking away, outside the bar he he said a barely audible but excited 'yes!' and walked home to get ready.
