Fanfiction based on the Movie Bright

Scene: LA, bar. Time after the death of Leilah of the Inferni. Characters include Nick Jakoby, Daryl Ward, and an OC. Perspective is of the OC.

It was like any other time I would go out. Living in LA, there were a lot of clubs and bars, but this one was my favorite. The people in there were real, they weren't afraid to be true to themselves, and it gave me courage. I would go in every Thursday night wearing almost the same type of cloths, a t-shirt and jeans, but tonight was different. Tonight, I wanted to look amazing. I wore a simple lacey, red short sleeved shirt with silky black leggings. I wore some simple black flats and I pulled my hair back into a pony tail with brown curls cascading down my back. I'm not huge on makeup, so I wore it simply and naturally.

When I walked into the bar, the human bartender noticed me immediately. He gave me a new look and the first thing he did was whistle.

"Wow, Apo! You look amazing? What is the occasion?" the bartender barked at me.

"What, Dan? Am I not allow to look beautiful every once in a while. I thought it would be a nice change." I replied.

"That is not what I meant. I just have never seen you look this way. What can I get you today? Your usual?" Dan laughed.

"Yes, one Angry Orchard and keep my tab open."

"No problem." He complied.

Drinking my ale, I settled in at the bar. Enjoying the crisp apple taste of my Angry Orchard, I finally was beginning to relax. It had been a stressful week at my job so far. So much lab work to do due to so many trauma patients coming in. Ugh, I love my job, but somedays like today, I despised it. Lost some people in code blues and I got in an argument with my manager again. Thank God for alcohol some days.

I started to really look around the bar once I settled in. A few elves were over to the left of the bar playing pool and keeping to themselves. To the right, some orcs were chatting about the gangs in the area. The humans in between, laughing and being stupid drunk people like always. I usually kept to myself and talked to the bartender.

Things changed that night. It was strange and weird, but so blissful and glorious at the same time. I met a man that I never thought I would meet. As soon as he walked in, I knew exactly who he was. The man was an orc, but he was unblooded. His tusks were rounded off. This man was Nicholas Jakoby, this first orkish police officer and I fell in love. It was like a hammer or a bag of bricks hitting me over the head, it was so indescribable. He noticed me immediately as soon as he walked through the door. It was taboo, for orcs and humans to love one another, but I was one of the few who didn't give a fuck at all.

He didn't sit next to me immediately, but he sat up at the bar with me. He sat on a stool a few stools down and ordered a beer. At first I could not stop looking at him. He was simply gorgeous. His markings on his face were the most beautiful I have ever seen. His eyes, my God his eyes. His eye were a warm yellow, but they felt like they could pierce through my soul. I never wanted anything so badly.

Every time he caught my eyes, I would look away. I was so super shy and scared to talk to him. I eventually got the courage to call Dan over and he had another Angry Orchard ready for me.

"Dan, is that the orc police officer?" I asked him.

Dan gave me a chuckle and replied, " Yep, that is Nick. He is a regular here, but doesn't usually come in on Thursdays. He must have just finished a shift not so long ago. Why do you ask?"

"He is really cute, but I am too scared to talk to him." I say turning a few shades of red.

"Well, he must feel the same way, because this ale is from him. He wanted to buy you a drink and asked me what you were drinking."

I took the ale blushing redder and redder by the second. I looked over at Nick and found him staring at me. That was it, that is what made me give in. Those gorgeous eyes. I melted immediately. I moved over to him with the ale in hand.

"Thanks for the beer, it's my favorite." I shyly say to Nick.

With a slight lisp, Nick replied, "I couldn't resist giving a beautiful woman a drink."

I smiled shyly at Nick, "I'm Apo." I said while outstretching my hand.

Taking my hand, Nick shook it and replied, "Nick."

"It is so good to meet you, Nick. I really like your markings. They are beautiful." I told Nick.

Nick smirked slightly and looking down, Nick replied, "Thanks, they are natural."

I couldn't help but laugh at this response. He was adorable and his shyness was so super cute. This was such a good icebreaker. We began to talk about our jobs, our likes and dislikes. We talked all the way until closing time. We didn't even realize we were the last ones there until Dan told us that he was closing up. Leaving the bar, Nick made me giggle one last time. That is when I decided to do it. I couldn't resist anymore. I took a step forward and looked straight into his eyes. I saw him gulp nervously, because he knew exactly what I wanted.

I placed my hands on his chest looking directly at his chest. I felt the dense muscle underneath his shirt and I couldn't help but touch him. I moved my hands up to his neck and he placed his hands about my hips moving them to my lower back. He pulled me in closer to him and I wrapped my hands behind his head. Pushing my body closer to him, I closed my eyes and waited for the contact. I almost felt it immediately and it was electric. My whole body felt hot and I could feel sparks of electricity moving through my body and his.

Breaking apart, I could barely breathe. I wanted more. I was basically begging for more. That is when I made my decision.

"Nick, would you like to come back to my place. We won't be disturbed." I offered.

He took my hand and only responded with, " Lead the way."
