“ hey   —   hot stuff, ”   she called out to a familiar face across from her, as she leaned most of her body weight onto the bar. perhaps to keep herself steady, after all, it wasn’t the  first time  that night she found herself in this position. and still, finding her way to the bar was a  maze,  hovering throughout an ocean of bodies in unknown direction until she caught sight of the familiar sight of nuray.   “ i’ll take one more of whatever you gave me last time. and throw one in for the cute bartender, too. ”   cue the exaggerated wink nadia sent her then, followed by a chuckle she couldn’t stifle about her own joke.   “ how many more of these do you think i’ll have to buy before ciaran lets me control the playlist ?  ”

nadia’s voice cut through the rest of the crowd and nur turned around with a broad smile already in place as she faced her favorite customer and all-round person. handing the drink she had just finished making to the guy in front of her, she then proceeded to skip alongside the bar over to where nadia was standing - well, or rather laying on the counter. “ haven’t been as delighted to hear those words all night. getting hit on just isn’t the same if it’s not by your favorite ex. “  leaning forward, she pressed a kiss to the obviously quite drunk nadia’s cheek, before turning to the task at hand. “ i think i made you an end zone last time ?  the orange-y stuff that kind of kills you instantly ? “  with a grin, she took out the tequila, her shaker and two glasses. “ so am i right to assume you’re enjoying yourself ? “  taking a look around the bar behind nadia, she smiled proudly at the partying crowd, before returning her attention to nadia and her question. “ listen, if there is a song you’d like played you know you just gotta ask. i’ve got my means to make all of your dreams come true. “  the words were accompanied by a wink as she started pouring the ingredients for the cocktail together, perhaps giving it a little more tequila than the recipe dictated but what were friends for if not to serve you even boozier cocktails ?!

- nadia.​

the faux leather jacket that covered her bare shoulders shouldn’t have been enough to protect her from the freezing cold november breeze, but perhaps it was the intoxication that feigned  the illusion  of comfort. cheeks still colored a shade of pink after more than a few end zone cocktails as she stumbled outside of conan  &  sons to get a whiff of fresh air.  she would just be a minute,  or so she had said  ( or slurred ),  but the brunette never stuck to one plan for too long. taking a seat on the edge of the sidewalk for just a moment to rest her feet before  dancing the night away  was quickly abandoned, the minute she was blessed with a clear night sky. and so the back of her head rested in the palms of her hands, outstretched across the lawn to peek at the stars as she hummed along to the music that spilled through the doors of the bar.

               caught up within a world light years removed from her physical space, it was the disturbance that pulled her back towards reality. she barely managed to stifle  a giggle  at the acrobatics required to miss her crossed feet.   “ mhm ?  ”   she perked up at the mention of her name, as pair of brown eyes finally lock with the mysterious figure wandering the streets. or, well, perhaps not so mysterious after all.   “ obviously. what does it  look  like i’m doing, silly ?  ”   she teased as the corners of her mouth shot up into a wide smile. she then reached her hand into the air, all fingers wiggling as an invite.   “ you should see for yourself. the moon is just so pretty tonight, ”   she sighed in utter joy.

it didn’t take him long to realize that nadia was drunk out of her mind, if the fact that she was laying on the ground during this weather wasn’t a dead giveaway already. her teasing made him crack a little smile as he looked down at her. honestly it was quite a sight to behold, hair spread out over the lawn, brown eyes opened wide as if she could see the entire universe with them if only she paid enough attention. “ yeah, who wouldn’t lay down to stargaze when it’s almost freezing. i’m definitely being the silly one here. “  he couldn’t help but tease her a little, before he did what any sensible and not drunk person would do  ( at least that is what he would tell anybody who asked ) and shrugged out of his coat in order to cover her with it. he had no idea just how long she had been out here already but just leaving her like this would be terribly irresponsible. 

her wiggling fingers pointed in his direction made him shake his head a little, as just for a moment he acted as if he was not going to stay with her. however, the past had already taught him, there was very little this woman wouldn’t be able to convince him of, especially when smiling like that. sighing, he settled for a bit of an in between solution, letting himself drop down next to her but staying in a sitting position. he would not lay down into the half damp grass. looking up at the sky though, a little rueful smile wandered across his features. “ the sky here is really quite something in comparison to all the big cities... i missed being able to see this many stars. “  he even knew some of them by name, mostly due to nadia teaching him back in the days. “ so... anyone in there waiting for you right now ? “

while he had taken a break from working for a bit, in order to watch the game, he had then skipped on the after party in order to close up the shop and prepare everything for the next day. a part of him still didn’t feel comfortable going to places that got too crowded, leaving him without any control who was seeing him or maybe even taking pictures. port briar, it had shockingly turned out, wasn’t quite the safe haven he had hoped for and so he was being careful, avoiding the more risky situations while also trying not to limit himself too much. walking past conan & son’s on his way home, hearing all the loud voices and music from inside, made him wonder about his decision. maybe he should have just tried to go, take the risk. a sigh, followed by a wistful smile in the direction of the pub before he walked on. that was until he almost stumbled over the feet of a person lying on the lawn. “ oh, sorry !  i didn’t see you there. “  he was about to just leave it at that, when he realized just who it was. “ nadia ?! “  it was definitely her, lying on the ground, in the cold and staring at the sky like she had never seen anything like it before. “ are you... stargazing ? “

“ hello and welcome to xp’s, let me know if you need any help. “  the words came out completely devoid of any sincerity or effort to actually sound inviting as her gaze stayed fixed to the book on roman architecture she was currently reading while simultaneously eating the last bits of her lunch. it wasn’t like she ever usually tried to be better at her job, this was very much how she was most of the time. that was unless she was actually paying attention, which often didn’t end well for the customers though. at the sound of a very familiar cough though, she raised her eyes after all, spotting erika amidst all the nerd equipment. “ what are you doing here ? “  perhaps not the nicest way to greet your friend but her friends also didn’t usually show up here ( too many men who would regard them their goth manic pixie dream girls ). “ did we have practice and i forgot ? “  it didn’t usually happen to her, not with r.a.d. but dawn had also been taking on much more than she could reasonably expect to handle lately so it wasn’t fully impossible. “ or are you just looking for some hello kitty stickers again ?  i told you, i could just give them to you if you’d just let me know. “

she almost couldn’t believe what her eyes were seeing as she had just walked into bluey’s but there he was. an appaling sight of absolutely unprecedented audacity that had her blood boiling. stomping closer, she set her sight on the boy who always felt like a worm in the salad of her life.  “ hey, shit for brains !  what the hell do you think you’re doing ?! “  sitting at her table is what he was doing with his ridiculously floofy hair and entirely too punchable face. “ have you lost your will to live somewhere ?  maybe up your own ass ?! “  it was late, dawn was tired, this was her study spot and she was here damn often enough for anybody else to know that taking it for themselves just wouldn’t be a good idea. aside from that, she didn’t really need to justify her rage in regards to max lockhart, his entire existence was enough justification. halfway sitting down on the backrest of the bench opposite his, she put one foot up on the seat, looking down on him, as was the natural order of life. “ so do i have to count till three ??   isn’t that how it works with little children ? “
