I is back w/ another one shot!! I wrote this a few months ago! I hope you guys like it!!! hehe...I should be asleep, but I chose to post this instead.
Don't own blah blah blah!! Enjoy everyone!!!!
Allen yawned behind his hand. There were so many people still in the club wide awake while he was dying from lack of sleep. How those people remained wired was beyond him. It was almost two in the morning and the place wouldn't close until five. Great.
"Excuse me?" Allen turned to where someone tapped him on the shoulder. A young woman, probably just 21, looked at him in his bar. His little sanctuary…kinda.
"How may I help you miss?" Allen gave her one of his bartender smiles. His smiles always got people to buy more drinks and give him more tips. She smiled back and giggled. "Ah, hello. I was wondering if maybe you had any drinks that contained alcohol or something, but you can't tell that they do." Allen looked at her for a second.
"Uhm. I can come up with something, but may I ask why?"
The young woman let out a laugh. Her long pigtails swaying as she looked around then motioned Allen closer. "My friend and I are planning to get one of our friends drunk. You see, today he turned 21 and he hates alcohol with a passion. So I need a drink that has some, but will be hard to tell that it does."
Allen understood her motives. She wanted to get her friend secretly drunk. "Alright miss. I'll make something for you all so they wont suspect." The girl thanked him, but looked at Allen closer until she arched an eyebrow. "Hey, you look too young to be working behind this counter Mr. Bartender."
Allen stopped scanning the alcohols and turned around and smiled at her. "Actually, I'm 25. I've been working in bars and clubs since I was 18 miss. I know almost every drink concoction known to man thanks to my guardian. And by the look on your face, I'm guessing I'm older than yourself."
The young woman closed her mouth after her jaw had dropped. The bartender looked no older than 16.
"May I ask what table you and your friends are sitting at? I'll also need a description of the one who's turning 21 so I know who gets the specified beverage."
She smiled and dug through her purse and pulled out a picture. Allen took at it and looked at it. "You can have it if you want. I have plenty of those. Oh, he's a boy by the way. He's a model even though he hates it." The girl then walked away after telling Allen the table she was at.
Allen couldn't stop looking at the picture. His eyes scanned the entire thing as he tried to memorize every detail of the young man on the photo.
Water ran down his entire body as his arms stretched up to reveal a tight stomach. His cargo pants rode low on his hips revealing his sharp hip bones while his white dress shirt was unbuttoned and stuck to his form like a second skin. Long ebony hair ran down his back like silk as two onyx eyes looked away from the camera as if dreaming. His skin was like porcelain and his lips like cherries.
"Bartender! Give me a beer!" Allen snapped out of his picture ogling and skillfully poured a beer with one hand into a glass and passed it down. He licked his lips and hid the picture in his vest pocket.
Allen went back to look through the drinks and stopped when he came across a certain beverage. He pulled out the bottle of E and J brandy and set it on his table. He pulled out a can of pepsi and began his combination.
A lemon and salt mix first. Then fill the cup about ¼ with the brandy. Add the soda the rest of the way to semi fill the cup. And behold. Pass the lemon over the rim of the cup and sprinkle some salt on the rim and tada.
Allen prepared the other drinks, but with less alcohol and placed them on a platter. He asked one of the working dancers to watch his station for a bit as he made his way to the table.
As he neared it, he spotted the young man in the picture. The photo had nothing on the real thing. Allen put on his best smile and approached the table.
"Hello. I have everyone's drinks here."
"Woah! Lenalee! You're right! He looks nothing like a 25 year old should! And his hair looks so beast!" Allen looked at the hyper man beside the girl that had asked him for the favor. His hair was very red and he had an eye patch over one eye. Weird. Allen wanted to ask why he had it, but he knew it was rude.
"Here you all go, please enjoy. If there's anything else you'd like, feel free to come by the bar." Allen placed the drinks down and handed them out. The girl gladly took it along with the red head. When he was about to place it in front of the raven haired man, he froze. He was receiving a glare.
"Take it back. I don't want whatever that is. It's probably some gross drink anyway."
Allen sighed. "It's actually the weakest drink I can serve other than soda and water. It's barely got any alcohol. The citric taste is mostly the lemon and salt. But since you're just a kid, I guess you can't handle it. I'll take it back and come back with a soda. Excuse me." Before Allen could leave, his wrist was grabbed. He looked at the body attached to the hand.
"Oh, I'm sorry, would you like some water instead?" The grip was tightened on his wrist.
"It's not that I can't handle it. I just hate alcohol."
"Yuu just doesn't like to drink cuz when he was younger he ended up giving some dude a lap dance. The guy passed out from blood loss! Yuu can't handle his alcohol!" The red head received a slap to the back of the head by the birthday boy.
"Leave it. I'll drink the stupid thing. Besides, where do you get off calling me a kid? You look younger than me." The young man, now known as Yuu, looked up at Allen. "Actually Kanda, Mr. Bartender is older than all of us. He's 25." Kanda looked closer at Allen. "Yeah right. He can't be older than a high schooler."
Allen put the platter down and reached into his back pocket and showed them his license. And hello and behold, he was 25.
"Alright then, please enjoy your night, uh, morning everyone."
As Allen walked away, all three occupants looked at him. "Dang! Old guy has a nice ass!" Lavi was slapped in the back of the head. "Don't be such a whore Lavi. Or do you want me to tell Tyki you were hitting on a bartender?" The red head scratched the back of his head. "Sorry Lenalee. But I mean, even you have to admit his butt was perfectly round in those pants." The girl blushed. Lavi was right.
As for Kanda, he sighed and leaned back into his chair. He grabbed the drink and took a small sip.
He was getting ready to spit it out until it passed his throat. It was pretty good. It didn't have the nasty bitter taste, but instead, there was a nice citric taste like the bartender had said. He took a bigger drink until half the glass was gone.
Lavi and Lenalee watched with matching smirks. That bartender was a genius. Kanda kept his hand on the glass and took a drink every now and then until his entire cup was empty while Lavi's and Lenalee's were still pretty full.
"Uh, Yuu, do you want mine?" Instead of getting hit, Kanda took Lavi's glass and began to drink it, but stopped when he noticed something. "It tastes different."
Both Lavi and Lenalee were about to panic. Had Kanda found out that his had more alcohol than theirs?
"I'm gonna ask the bartender guy to make me one like the first." Kanda got up and began to walk off to the pretty large bar area.
The other two occupants just watched. "Lavi, our baby's growing up!" Lavi put an arm around Lenalee. "That he is Lenalee. Next thing you know, he'll be having sex with people he doesn't even know. But I think that'll be later on in life."
The end!!! Haha. Or is it? Do you guys want this to be a mature thing for next chapter or should I leave it as a oneshot? Is it gonna be Yullen or Arekan?! I dun know!! Oh, I got the idea for this story cuz I was listening to lady gaga music. That woman is beast! There's this one song called dance in the dark and it's super awesome! I'm officially in love with her music!
Oh! And the drink concoction? Yeah, it's real. And it's really good!!!
Remember everyone, don't hate, appreciate!!
