This is a human AU where Bon and Rin are just normal people in the world. They both live in America. Bon is a police officer. Rin is a barista in a bar. Rin has just moved to this town to work at his friend's bar as a barista, but he easily gets lost. The bus stop is pretty far from the town, and he has no idea where he is. He stumbles upon Officer Ryuji Suguro on night patrol around the perimeter of the town. Ryuji walks Rin into town and takes him to his apartmest(luckily, Rin had written his new adess down at least.) But since Rin is free all day and Ryuji doesn't have much to do since there isn't much crime in that town, Rin just can't resist flirting with him all the time.

Disclaimer: I don't own Ao no Exorcist. I only own the plot of this story...And the pick-up lines. :P Also, the town name is totally made up because fuck research. Well, actually, I did do research on climate and weather in Illinois.

Rin huffed as he trekked along the side of the seemingly abandoned road. It was still dark out. Sadly, he didn't know what time it was because his phone was dead. I really need to strategize when to charge my phone. He was twenty three and he was still irresponsible enough to get lost. Okay, to his credit, he'd just gotten here. Here being wherever the hell he was on the empty road.

He had moved to Ashville, Illinois just that morning, or probably yesterday morning considering the plane had landed at one in the morning. Rin had taken a couple busses to the road he was currently walking on. What kind of asshole puts a bus stop five miles away from the actual town?!

Finally, Rin saw a beam of light up ahead, like a flashlight. He let out a relieved sigh, his breath making a cloud in the chilly air, and made his way over to the beam of light. As he got closer, he saw the Navy blue of a police uniform and the gold of a badge. The officer appeared to be male.

He was tall, with broad shoulders and muscled arms. His eyes were a deep chocolate brown. His skin was perfectly tan. He had his hat off, so Rin could see his hair, black with a blonde streak. He also saw light reflecting off the diamond stud earrings he was wearing. Over all, he was hella sexy.

He noticed Rin and went over to him. "Hello. Are you lost, sir?" the officer greeted. God damn his voice is sexy as hell. Rin mentally shook himself out of his thoughts. He gave a shy, almost bashful smile. "Um, yes. I'm supposed to be in Ashville, but the bust stop is five miles away from the actual town." Rin answered. The officer let out an irritated sigh. "I swear, somebody's gonna have to change that one day." He looked at Rin. "This happens more often then you would think." Rin laughed. "That's actually not a surprise." The officer laughed with him.

"Well, I'm on patrol and it's my job to help the citizens of Ashville, and since you are new in town, you count, so I'll take you to town. My name is Officer Ryuji Suguro, and I am here to assist." The officer-Ryuji- introduced himself. Rin grinned. "My name is Rin Okumura." Rin intoduced himself. Ryuji looked vaguly surprised at the name. "I'm originally from Japan. I came to America for college. Years ago." Rin explained. Ryuji smiled. "Yep, same here. This cozy little town seems to draw Japanese people for some reason. Maybe it's because we like the peace, unlike our huge cities back in Japan." Ryuji told him.

"Yeah,no kidding. I'm from Tokyo. That place is busy day in and day out." Rin stressed. Ryuji grinned. "Hah, I'm from Kyoto." he stated. "You lucky duck." Rin laughed. The first rays of sunlight were just starting to peek over the horizon. "So. What brings you to Ashville?" Ryuji asked curiously. "A friend of mine offered me a job at her bar. I'm gonna be a barista." Rin explained.

"Oh, Shura?"

"Yep! I just got out of college a few months ago and she said I could work at her bar. She thinks I'd be a good barista."

"Yeah, I just graduated the academy a few months ago. I'm the rookie amongst the cops on this town."

"Hmm, so do the pro officers respect you or treat you like shit?"

Ryuji laughed.

"They respect me pretty well. I graduated at the top of my class."

They stopped for a moment and Rin showed Ryuji his address that he had thankfully written down. They began to walk more. Rin could now see Ryuji in the early morning sun and he was even more gorgeous in the sunlight.

"Oh good for you. I graduated at the top of my class in culinary school." Rin continued the conversation.

"Sweet. So you can cook?"

"Yes. I've been told I would be a good housewife by my friend Shiemi before. That's just because she thought I lived like a slob, but actually kept the house clean and tidy and can cook like a badass."

"Did you go to actual college or just culinary school?"

"No, I got my bachelor's degree. I started college when I was 16 instead of 18 because I wanted to still have plenty of time to decide what to do with my life. I was smart enough to skip a grade in elementary school and then another one in highschool. Then I moved to America and went to college."

"Wow. I can definitely respect that. Do you have any family back in Japan?"

"Nope. I was raised in an orphanage with dozens of other kids. The caretaker was also a preist. His name was Shiro. He was a good father figure. But then he got sick when I was in highschool. The kids took care of him until he died. Luckily, one of his clergy men at the church took over, so the orphanage is still up and running."

"Hmm. That actually sounds like a nice life."

"It was. It still is. Nothing has screwed up my life too bad. Just the beginning is the only messed up part."

Before Ryuji could say something, they were at Rin's front door. Rin really didn't want Ryuji to go just yet. So he invited the officer inside. His friends and freezer were fully stocked thanks to Shura, and the appliances and furnitue came with the house and were only an extra $1,000 so Rin just bought the whole house with the stuff already in it.

Rin took off his coat and scarf and hung them over the back of a chair at the table. He got out two mugs and started to make coffee. "You can't be Japanese and not drink pure black coffee." Rin said matter-of-factly. Ryuji laughed at the joke and sat down an the table.

"So, why is the beginning of your life so messed up? If it's okay to ask." Ryuji continued their earlier conversation. Rin sat down with the mugs and they drank their coffee.

"Well, I wasn't always an orphan. I lived with my mother until I was 6. My father was a thug in a gang and left my mother when he learned she was pregnant. My mother was supposed to have twins, but my twin died in childbirth because he wasn't able to breathe on his own. But that's not the sad part. My mother had a steady job and we had a nice house. But as I got older, she seemed to resent me because I looked like my father and she had to raise me alone. When I was 6 she took me to the orphanage and gave me up to Shiro. She said she couldn't take care of me any more and that I should just forget her. That was the last time I saw her. Shiro did everything he could to keep me happy and always made sure I took care of myself instead of falling into depression. If it weren't for him, you would not be sitting with me today."

"Wow, that's deep. And fucked up."

Rin laughed. "Yeah, it is, bit that was years ago. I forgave, but I never forgot. If I ever see her again, I'm gonna run it in her face that I'm a successful human being and she's not. I like my life how it is right now. So, whatever it has to throw at me, Bring it on." Rin finished. "Preach, man, preach. That was beautiful." Ryuji gave a slow clap and Rin snorted.

Ryuji glanced at the clock on the stove. "Well, it's about six, so I have report in. It was a pleasure meeting you, Rin. If you need any help, if I don't already have plans, I'll show you around town on Friday. It's my day off." The officer said, getting up and walking to the door. Rin got up and ran over to him before he could leave. He leaned up and gave the cop a kiss on the cheek. Ryuji grinned and walked out the door, waving.

Rin went to his new room and flopped down on the bed, sighing contentedly. He plugged his phone up to the charger before he forgot. He didn't have any unpacking to do since he'd had his stuff, including his clothes, shipped here beforehand. Rin decided to get in the shower and then decide what to do from there.

He entered his master bathroom and turned on the water, letting it warm up while he took off his clothes. He hopped in the shower and enjoyed the hot water as it cascaded down his skin. He was happy with how his morning turned out. Not only did he successfully move to his new home, he also met the dashing Officer Ryuji Suguro. Free bonus. He started work tonight, so he had all day free. Actually, he would have every day free and work at night. He was good at night shifts and also good at mixing drinks. He had worked part time at a bar in his old town for a while before coming to Ashville.

He washed his hair and body and got out, putting on a T-shirt, and Pajama pants.(over his undergarments of course. Rin didn't like going commando. It was uncomfortable.) Rin debated putting his shoulder length hair up and decided against it. He would put it up tonight while he was getting easy for work. Heb grabbed a book from his shelf and went into his kitchen. Rin made himself some chocolate chip waffles and sat down in his living room on the couch. He lay across his loveseat, blanket covering his legs, waffles in his lap, hot cocoa on his coffee table, and book in hand. He enjoyed the silence as he read.

He didn't realize he fell asleep until he woke up a few hours later, fully rested. It was past lunch time, almost dinner time. Rin made some food and ate it. He then went back to his room and got out his uniform for work. The bar opened at nine,because that's when people started going out for drinks. He went into the bathroom to get changed.

Rin combed his jet-black hair out, then put it into a high ponytail. His bangs always fell just over his eyes. He braided the long parts of his bangs on the sides and put colored beads on them Indian style before tying them off. He then put his uniform on. His uniform consisted of a white button up dress shirt, a black vest, black slacks, black dress shoes, and a red necktie. He rolled his sleeves up to his elbows and made sure he had his phone(now fully charged, thank God) before going out the door.

He made his way to the bar. It wasn't that far from his new house, so he would just walk. It was a nice summer night. Summer was about halfway over by now, and it was perfect temperature to walk outside at night. Although during the day, it was blblistering hot.

Rin walked into the bar and made his way to the back, where Shura was. She had just opened the bar. She grinned when she saw him. "Rin! How have ya been, kid? Did ya get to your house okay?" She walked over, throwing an arm around his shoulders. Rin smiled."Well, I had a little trouble at first, but then I met Officer Ryuji and he helped me find my way to my house." Rin answered honestly.

"Oh yeah, Suguro's a looker ain't he?" Shura prodded. "I can totally agree with that." Rin responded. "So are you gonna go for him? We do have some more hotties if ya wanna check em out. They'll probably come by later for drinks." Shura offered. Rin laughed. "I shall have a look at these fine young men you speak of." he said in a slight British accent. "Whatever my Prince Rin commands." Shura joked, also using an accent.

Soon, as the night wore on, more and more people came in fofor drinks. Rin worked the bar, mixing drinks for people and entertainment. He did see the other men Shura was talking about. Like Yukio Egin, an office workers who came on his friend Renzo Shima's insistence. Shima worked at the local grocery store as a clerk. He had dyed pink hair and caramel eyes.

Yukio was also quite good looking. He was well muscled(his shirt sleeves were rolled up) and he was tall. He had two moles under his eye and another on his chin, but that just made him more attractive. His eyes were aquamarine and his hair was shirt, kept, and black. He also had Black rimmed glasses.

Rin joked with them for a bit. "Now, if you wanna get just a bit tipsy so you don't have that bad of a hangover, then I would recommend a martini. If you want to get totally wasted and say fuck hangovers, I would recrecommend a Kamikaze. Or maybe a Cherry Bomb." Rin recommended. Shima laughed. He chose the Cherry Bomb. Yukio chose the Kamikaze. While Rin made those, Shima made small talk. "Your new here aren't you?" Rin nodded and grinned. "I'm a friend of Shura's. She offered me a job as her barista. I'm good at Mixing and good with people." Rin told them. He gave Renzo his Cherry Bomb and set to work on Yukio's Kamikaze.

"So when did you get here?" Yukio asked, curious. Rin shot him a grin. "Six a.m. this morning. I took a nap until dinner, so I got plenty of sleep. I bought a house not too far from here." Rin aswered. "Oh, you mean the one the old lady died in last month?" Yukio questioned, and then laughed at Rin's horrified expression. Renzo started laughing loudly and then patted Rin on the shoulder. "He's kidding. That house is brand new. Don't listen to him." Shima assured. "That was petty good. At least you people have good humor, I'll give you that." Rin laughed it off, giving Yukio his Kamikaze.

Next was Arthur A. Angel and Lewin Light. They were only two years older than Rin and very hansome, too. Although Rin soon learned that Arthur was a snobby asshole who probably flirted with a mirror. Lewin was actually rather nice, but Rin still liked Ryuji more than Lewin. Lewin seemed emotionally detached. Arthur had long blonde hair and dark blue eyes. Lewin had bright blue eyes and messy black hair that mostly hid his eyes. They ordered martinis since they had work tomorrow. They worked at the Italian Resteraunt down the road.

"I wonder if the newbie will mess up our drinks. He seems to be pretty young so he must be a rookie. I wouldn't be surprised." Rin heard Arthur whisper to Lewin in his snobby voice. Lewin didn't respond. He's gonna pay for that. Rin gave them their martinis. "So, do you have a girlfriend that loves you as much as you love yourself or do you only date your mirror?" Rin asked the blonde with a grin. Angel's face went red and his eyes narrowed.

Right as he was about to say something, Rin spoke. "Listen up, asshole, I am 23 years old and I have been working in a bar for a while. I graduated highschool at 16 and finished college with a bachelor's degree a few months ago after graduating at the top of my class in culinary school, so don't you diss me as a rookie because I have been more successful in my 23 years of life than you have in your 25." Rin sneered, voice low so only the two men could hear it.

Lewin looked impressed while Angel was pissed. He didn't say anything else to Rin the rest if the night, which was fine. No one needed to hear his shitty opinions anyways. Rin stayed until three in the morning,serving people alcohol and chatting it up with the patrons, getting to know the townsfolk, then went home. He changed into pajama pants and went to bed shirtless.

It was a damn good first day for Rin.
