Fatal-fame here with another sample. This story is also being done by a friend of mine that goes by the pen name Ninj4fox2020. Before anyone gets up in arms about how I stole his idea I will say right here.

This is my idea, he is the one who asked for my permission.

I'm not trying to be rude, I'm just trying to make sure there are no misunderstandings.

Now for Luke The Bartender or as I like to call it

Ordinary Days

The streets of Daath

Guy walked down the street, his steps not having a purpose except to propel him forward. His thoughts were different, yet they were all focussed on the same thing.

'Luke, has it really been eight months?' He wondered as he trailed behind the group. 'Are you happy? Are you in good health? At least Asch can tell that you're alive.' Guy mused as he looked up at said red head. Guy tried to get along with him, he really did. It's just that everytime he looked at Asch, he saw Luke.

And that caused him to truly regret his actions.

He looked up as he heard his name be called. The group had just dropped off Anise and Ion, and were looking for a place to eat. They walked to a bar type restaurant and took a seat. He had to admit, the place was definitely relaxing.

The music they had playing was catchy, the sever was a cute girl, the smells were intoxicating, Luke was playing darts in the corner with some other guys, everyone was laughing, and nobody had a care in the world.

'This place may be just what I need.' Guy thought. 'If only Luke was...wait a minute.' He turned his head to see the object of his thoughts.

Throwing darts with one hand and holding a drink in the other.

Guy got up slowly and walked towards the replica, the others noticing his movements and followed his gaze. When he finally got close enough he uttered his name.

"Shut up, I got this." Luke replied without looking at him. With that Luke threw his final dart at the board. It landed perfectly in the bullseye, causing everyone around him to cheer. Luke then turned to the man who had called his name.

"Sup?" Luke asked as he looked at Guy, his eyes then widened as he recognized him.

"Guy!" Luke yelled out as he threw his free hand around the older man's shoulder. "How've you been?"

"Great and you?" Guy replied.

"I've been gettin by." Luke responded, taking a swig of his drink. "What brings you to these parts?"

"We were just dropping off Ion and Anise." Guy replied, catching the red head as he stumbled a bit.

"Really? I should pay the kid a visit." Luke decided as he took a step forward, only to stumble onto a table. "Okay maybe not." With that Luke finished his drink and put the glass on the bar, as soon as he did that another was forced into his hands.

"I think you had enough." Guy said as he reached for the teens drink. Luke quickly pulled it away from the older man.

"No, someone bought this for me, so I'm gonna drink it. It would be rude not to." Luke replied, taking a swing from the glass.

"It isn't considered rude if you are polite about it." Guy had to admit, he was impressed that Luke was trying to be polite, even if the situation wasn't one that fell under the category of "No non polite refusals"

"True, but if I don't drink it, who will?" Luke asked the blond. Guy raised a surprised eyebrow at the redhead as he took another drink.

"I'm sure the people who work here will dispose of it." Guy assured him, Luke raised a red eyebrow back at the older man and pointed at the wall. "But the rules say I have too."

Guy's blue eyes flowed where his friend was on the wall was a plaque that read.

"ANY DRINK YOU HAVE BEEN GIVEN MUST BE FINISHED, UNLESS IT COULD POTENTIALLY KILL YOU.

DON'T BE A BITCH, BITCH."

Guy stared at the plaque for a bit. Just enough time for Luke to finish his new glass. Guy turned to Luke as he pulled another glass to his lips "Luke, how much have you drank?" Luke paused for a moment before answering.

"Eight." Luke replied before chugging his new one "Nine."

"I don't think that's healthy." Guy told him. Luke just looked at him with confusion.

"Do I look like a pussy to you?" Luke asked in return. Guy's eyes widened at his new found word. Sure Luke swore before, but it wasn't as vulgar before.

"Luke, where did you pick up such filth?" Natalia demanded as the rest of the group joined the conversation. As soon as she said this some bar patrons started to swear up a storm.

"Take a wild guess." Luke told her sarcastically. His eyes scanned over them, until they stopped on Tear.

"Tear, how old are you?" Luke asked out of the blue. Tear cocked her head to the side, but answered none the less.

"Sixteen." She replied, when she told his this Luke's eyes lit up with hope.

"Then can you do me a favour?" He asked at her nodded he pointed at the server girl. "Tell her what you eat."

"Why?" The server asked him, brushing her hair out of her eyes.

"Cause maybe your tits 'll grow bigger." He replied casually, he then ducked the boomerang that was thrown at him.

"Ha!" Luke yelled in triumph, until the boomerang smashed into the back of his head. "Ow sonnova. The hell is wrong with you?"

"Are you seriously asking?"

"I'm just trying to help."

"Well my breasts are amazing, thank you."

"Well yeah, but you always complain about them."

"You haven't yet."

"I have no reason too."

"And why is that?"

"Your ass is fucking glorious."

"Is sex all you think of, pig?"

"Only when I have nothing better to do, bitch."

"You're such an asshole."

"And you're still a bitch."

"Wanna come to my place after work?"

"Fuck yes."

The others looked on at the conversation between the two, wondering what just happened.

"Breaks over!" A man's voice yelled from the back.

"Aight" Luke yelled back as he jumped the counter of the bar. He threw on an apron and turned towards the group.

"So are you gonna ordered something or what?" Luke asked as he leaned on the counter.

"Wha?" Guy asked in a stupor. Luke just sighed.

"Look, you can order something or get out." Luke explained as he walked down to the other end to take some orders. Asch, however decided to make his presence known.

"Just who do you think you are?" Asch asked his replica. Luke didn't look up from the drink he was making as he responded.

"Luke Fan Fober, the greatest man on this planet." Luke told him as he gave the glass to the man who ordered it.

"And what makes you so great?" Asch asked him with venom.

"The fact that I slept with more girls this month then you will in your entire life kinda gives me an edge." Luke replied casually. Asch was gobsmacked at the reply, while Jade put on his normal smirk.

"As riveting as this conversation is, I think it's time you stopped trying to make yourself look better." He interjected, Luke however looked at him with a bit of confusion.

"Do you know someone by the name of Nephry, Jade?" Luke asked. Jade nodded, wondering where Luke was going with the conversation.

It must have been serious to ignore his jab.

"She and I are close." He replied. Luke's green eyes lit up with excitement.

"Really? Small world." Luke replied as he started to clean a glass.

"Where do you know her from?" Tear decided to ask. Luke then cracked a huge smile as he thought back to that night.

"She was here on business and came in for a drink. We got to talking and She took me by the hand to her hotel room." Luke leaned his head back as his eyes closed. "She's a total freak between the sheets." Luke's eyes opened again and looked back at Jade.

"You okay?" He asked when he noticed Jade's eye start twitching.

"I guess she didn't mention she was my sibling, then?" Jade asked back. Luke stopped for a second before continuing.

"Not directly." Luke replied as he placed a glass where they were kept. "She did mention she had a brother, although she didn't seem so keen on having one." He grabbed a new one and started to clean it. "Don't take it the wrong way. She said she loved you as she should, but she sometimes wishes you died in Akzeriuth."

Jade's eyes widened slightly at the prospect, but he quickly regained his composure.

"You've been sleeping around." Guy finally muttered. Luke turned to him with confusion.

"I'm a teenager." Luke replied. "That's what teenagers do, have sex with each other and make stupid decisions."

"Only if you had no control over your desires." Asch replied, also over his silence.

"I just have skills Asch." Luke replied As he threw the glass into the air, it flipped a few times before he caught it. He was about to continue when something caught his eye. In an instant he drew a knife with his left hand and threw it past them. They turned quickly to see a man pinned to the wall by his shirt and a girl quickly stumbled away.

"Hands off." Luke easily said as he drew another knife. The man just laughed at the redhead.

"What are you gonna do kid? Poke my eye out?" The man sneered at the teen, who just twisted his head negatively.

"No, he's gonna punch you out." He replied as he lazily pointed to the man's right. The man turned his head only for a fist to impact his skull. He fell unconscious and someone dragged him out.

"Fucking bastards." Luke muttered as he returned his attention to the group. He put on a smile and asked again.

"You gonna order something or what?"
