8. this moment [🍺]

Hey guys! This one-shot was inspired from an episode of HIMYM so if anyone of you watches that show, I'm pretty sure you know what I'm talking about.

If not, I recommend watching it. It's a really good show. Anyways, I hope you like it!.

-----------------------------

Varian's POV:

I was sitting all alone.

I was on the bar stool, sipping my drink. The winds outside the Snuggly Duckling blew harshly, the rumbling of thunder grew louder as lightning struck. Looks like we're going to be stranded here for the rest of the night. At least, the group's all together, I thought to myself. I see (Y/N) take a seat right next to me as she was holding a cup of tea, warming her up.

"So what do you say, Varbear? Are you coming with me and the gang to Hook Hand's concert this weekend?" She asks as she holds out to my ticket and waving it in front of my face. "Remember, this isn't like the other concerts he had in the past because this time, Hook Foot's gonna be performing alongside him too!"

"Nah, I think I'm gonna have to pass this time. As the royal engineer of Corona, I now have sworn duties to the kingdom." I said, being very proud of my work. "I'm gonna have to do some maintenance with a few tanks of water during the weekend, so I can minimize the amount of explosions that happen underground.

"Aww, come on. Can't your dad do those for a while?" It's only gonna be for one night!" She said, trying to get me with those puppy eyes. Goddammit why was she so cute? How can I not fall in love with her?

As (Y/N) and I were talking, Raps and Eugene came by after they had just finished from listening to Big Nose's poems about his love life.

"Hey guys, how's it going?" Eugene said.

"Oh, I have-" 

"Yeah, yeah not now kid." Eugene said to Varian as he glared at him for not letting him finish his sentence.

"Okay, so I currently have created a new accessory that men like me will wear to provide warmth on cold wintry nights or stormy days that also provides sophistication and edge to all of mankind." Eugene said with a boastful smile on his face.

"Well then, what is it? (Y/N) asked.

"My friends, be ready to be blown away. I present to you, the leather jacket." Eugene said as he took it from the coat stand and putting it on as he pushed his hair back and did the smoulder, feeling totally handsome.

"Looks amazing, right?" Eugene asked, asking for the approval of his friends.

"Yeah, it looks great!" I said as I wondered if he could give me one so we could be rocking them as Team Awesome!

Attila intervened as he served drinks to Eugene and Raps. 

"Yeah, I agree that looks awesome on you but I'm pretty sure it ain't yours buddy." Attila chuckled under his helmet.

"What? Nuh-uh! I totally invented this jacket! See, I even have the pricks on my hand from the needle I used from sewing!

"But, Cassandra's been wearing them since yesterday, look!" Attila said as he pointed to the direction of Cassandra. She was indeed wearing what Eugene called a "leather jacket" and was having a blast chatting up with the other thugs in the pub.

Eugene marched to where Cass was. He was going to give her a piece of his mind.

"Well, okay kids. Seems like I gotta go and make sure the both of them won't start a whole pub fight. Have fun!" Raps said as she followed Eugene.

"Back to the matter at hand." (Y/N) said as she took another sip of her cup of tea. "You should take some time of your work and have fun! Let loose a little. You might even end up thanking me for it."

"All right, why would I thank you for making me miss on working on my dutiful job?" I asked, challenging her to change my mind.

"You can't just lock yourself away underground for days on end and not feel stressed out. You need to unwind and let your mind relax for just a little bit. Besides, we do this every year! It's our group's tradition. You can't just back out this year. I'm pretty sure Raps will understand that you get to have a night off especially we're gonna be with her." (Y/N) said as a matter of factly.

As we were still having a conversation whether I was going to the concert or not, Eugene and Cassandra were still bickering about the leather jacket.

"Come on, Cass! You totally stole that idea from me." Eugene said with his hands on his hips. "Remember, when we were at dinner the other night and I was talking about the jacket?"

Cass replied, "Uhm, no I don't remember that because I  had the idea of the jacket, Fitzherbert. I wanted a badass looking jacket that kept me warm. All the coats that I have are too heavy or too long for me to wear while training at dawn. It's freezing outside when it's sunrise."

"Well then, I only see one way to settle this. I'll see you in court. Little court known as the dance floor! Boom!" Eugene said as he mimicked a bomb going off with his hands. "Well, uh actually let's not dance. I'm not really good with that. I demand a sword fight instead!

"Really, Fitzherbert?" Cassandra sighs. She knows she's gonna demolish him anyways.

"Whoever wins, claims full ownership of the creation of the leather jacket!" Eugene says with a grin.

"Eugene, no! We've been through this. You just got your arm fully healed from falling off Maximus when you were doing some crazy dare. You have to lay off from challenges from awhile." Rapunzel said, trying to help Eugene make a rational decision.

"I love you Blondie, I really do but you've got to let me fight my own battles."

"So, is it game on Eugene? Or are you too much of a wimp?" Cassandra said as she mocked him.

Rapunzel handed a sword to each of them. "Just be careful, okay? I don't want any of the two of you getting hurt." Raps said.

"Don't worry honey, I have this completely under control." Eugene said as he took hold of the sword. "Game on, Cass. En garde!"

As they began to fight, (Y/N) and I were still having our conversation.

"Well it looks like, I'm still going to do my work on the weekend." 

"I understand." (Y/N) said.

"What, you're not gonna try and convince me to join you guys?" I asked feeling quite skeptical of why (Y/N) gave up on trying to persuade me.

"And how am I going to convince you?"

"I don't know, by telling me life is short, and if you ever come across something beautiful, exciting, crazy moment in it, you've got to seize it while you can before that moment's gone?" 

"Varian, this moment already is gone." (Y/N) said as she was looking straight into my eyes.

"The whole leather jacket thing happened five years ago. It's just a memory. And the rest of this never happened. Right now, Eugene's taking care of the new trainees for the royal guard while Rapunzel's taking care of her duties as a queen. Cassandra's been looking for her destiny ever since and I never existed. You've been sitting here all night, staring at a single ticket to Hook Hand's concert because the rest of us couldn't go. Look around, Varian. You're all alone. (Y/N) said as she faded away.

I was on the bar stool, sipping my drink. The winds outside the Snuggly Duckling blew harshly, the rumbling of thunder grew louder as lightning struck.

I was sitting all alone.
