AnD YES I NOTICED THERE'S SO MANY CHAPTERS SET IN A BAR I'M SORRY I DON'T KNOW BUT THESE IDEAS KEEP COMING TO ME

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

'Sigh... what a day... I can't believe Hifumi  hasn't went back home yet...'

You thought to yourself as you stood behind your counter, watching the host sitting on the stool in front of you. He seemed different, dazed, he didn't seem like the Hifumi Izanami you see hosting this club every night.

He had his head resting on his folded arm, a champagne glass in his free hand as he slowly waved it in a circular motion, watching the beverage within swirl and bubble at the movement. His eyes seemed hollow, emotions unreadable, it's been nearly an hour and a half since all the ladies left, but the man of the night was still here. Alone.

You knew Hifumi, but not too personally. Most days you're a bartender at his parties, before the ladies start coming in, he'd sit at the counter and chat with you casually, of course there is the occasional flirting, but it isn't too much. Hifumi had told you about the person he is without the suit and jacket, you were skeptical about it at first, but once you've seen him battle in the Division Rap Battle final, you believed it and found it quite interesting. 

You've never really seen Hifumi's other personality, you once remembered him mentioning a third side... but he quickly changed the subject, so you thought of it as nothing.

But tonight was different... he didn't chat with you as he waited for the club to fill up, he didn't greet you or send you eventual smiles, and even as the club emptied out, he didn't say a word, he just pointed at a bottle of champagne, which you poured him of in the glass he was staring at right this instant.

'He's so... spaced out today, maybe something happened at home? But he told me him and Kannonzaka don't fight much... they barely even see each other sometimes... what could be wrong?'

After a few more minutes spent thinking, you gave up and decided to ask Hifumi himself.

"Hifumi"

Silence, the only sound heard was the swishing of the champagne in Hifumi's glass.

"Mr. Izanami"

Silence again.

"Clears throat, Hifumi Izanami!"

"Hm?"

You breathed a sigh once he finally answered you.

"Hifumi, it's getting pretty late, it's not like you to stay this long, is everything alright?"

Hifumi stopped waving his glass, his eyes widening as fear surged through him. The truth was, today was an extremely terrible day for Hifumi, his phobia has acted up and his bad memories from his treacherous childhood had fueled his day and night with nothing but despair and pain. even with the jacket and suit on, he had to try his hardest to not run away from the women he's forced to interact with in his job.

He could barely even speak to you without getting flashbacks of all the pain he went through as a child.

So it took him a lot of stamina to finally be able to give you a proper answer,

"A-Alright? Yeah... I'm alright... nothing to worry about, k-kitten"

You tilted your head in confusion, this was strange, Hifumi was strange, the way he spoke to you was a way you've never heard him speak before. His voice was deep and rhythmic, but there was this faint crack in his voice, not to mention the never before heard stutters. And kitten? He's never once called you that before.
