🍸

You push through the heavy doors, hoping that just this once, you won’t be the first to arrive. Soft music plays in the lounge, where sleek pendant lights cast an amber glow, and the scent of leather mingles with a faint trace of old whiskey.

You scan the area, letting out a resigned sigh as you confirm it—you’re the first to arrive. It’s as though they’re all just waiting for your inevitable ‘Where are you?’ text before they even begin to leave home

A hostess steps forward, her professional smile firmly in place. "Good evening. Are you meeting someone?"

“Yes,” you say, glancing over her shoulder for any sign of your group-maybe missed them the first time. You give out your friend’s names and cross your fingers as she searches her digital notepad.

"Not yet. Would you like to wait at your table, or perhaps at the bar?"

“The bar, please,” you say, fighting off a frown. Better to blend in with the half-empty space than to sit alone in open view.

She gestures to the bar, where a few patrons are scattered in quiet solitude. You thank her and make your way over, settling into a seat at the far end, where the light is dimmer. The bartender doesn’t notice you—he’s glued to a muted game on the TV overhead—but you don’t mind. This quiet corner, with its polished brass rail and cushy stool, isn’t as bad as waiting in the section alone.

The group chat lights up with those same hollow assurances—they’re “just ten minutes away.” You scoff. Ten minutes will likely stretch to thirty, if not longer.

A low prickle crawls up your neck, subtle at first. You resist the urge to look up, grounding yourself in the glow of your phone. But the feeling sharpens, like the thickening air pressing against your skin.

Slyly, you keep your head low and peer out of the corner of your eye, catching a figure in the periphery—a shape standing tall, moving slowly, drawing closer.

The figure-a man slides onto the bar-stool beside you. You ignore him, fingers tightening around your phone, though his presence feels close, deliberate. He says nothing, just reaches into his pocket, pulls something, and taps it against his palm.

You hear a strikes a match before the sharp scent of sulfur mingles with the aroma of dark liquor. You catch the faint crackle as he takes a slow drag.

“Hey, you can’t smoke in here,” the bartender says, his voice breaking the low murmur of the lounge. But the man beside you seems to barely react, only exhaling another slow stream of smoke.

“Get the lady a drink,” he says, his accent curling through the words, smooth and deliberate, with a quiet authority that lingers in the air. Your brow rises, the urge to look over at him consuming you. He’s staring at you, talking about you, and you feel a weight settle in your chest, uncomfortable under his gaze.

He is handsome—handsome in a way that seems almost out of place, like a face too perfect for the room. His blue eyes cut through you, scanning you unabashedly, and you shift uncomfortably, trying to look anywhere but at him. His dark hair is neatly cut, and his square jaw sharpens his features as he takes another drag from his cigarette, the smoke curling in the air around him.

The bartender’s expression flickers, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes. “Y-yes, sir,” he stammers, nodding quickly before turning to you, clearly unsettled. “What’ll it be, ma’am?”

"Uh… an espresso martini, please.” You’re not sure why you picked it, but the words slip out before you can reconsider. The man beside you takes another drag, his gaze unwavering, a faint smirk edging his lips. He must be someone important, you think—or perhaps the owner?

Your phone hums softly in your hand—a welcome distraction. You glance down, mouthing a faint thank you before turning away, though the weight of his gaze doesn’t fade.  As you type a quick message to the group, his presence lingers beside you, casting a shadow you can’t quite ignore. Maybe next time you’ll just wait in the car.

🍸

Your small group barely fills the wide curve of leather seating, the empty glasses accumulating on side tables in quiet succession. As you anticipated, they were all late—blaming traffic and other excuses that didn’t quite hold up. 

You lost count of the drinks hours ago, and it’s clear everyone’s at their limit. Claire’s unsteady laughter spills out as she grabs for another glass, and Sarah and Beth scramble to keep her from sliding out of her seat, the chaotic scene sparking a new wave of laughter.

It’s all familiar—like a half-forgotten memory from college, when time stretched thin and nights seemed to last forever.

Tonight had been planned for weeks, a celebration for Bethany. She’s getting married, and the sparkle on her finger is hard to miss, a cluster of diamonds catching the dim light like fragments of some distant star. She recounts his proposal with a shy smile, every detail met with wide eyes and laughter, hands reaching out to admire the ring. These gatherings have grown rare since she met him, but you don’t mind it. Everyone’s older now, a few with kids, married, while you’re content to stay in, alone.

The shift from crowded clubs to quieter lounges feels nostalgic, almost soothing—until you catch a glint of something just out of view. You can feel him there, the man from the bar, like a shadow lingering at the edge of your night. He’d paid for your drink earlier without a word, his gaze heavy, cigarette smoke trailing like a ghostly reminder of his presence.

Bethany’s laugh snaps you back, her voice lifting over the chatter. “You don’t have to get me anything from my registry—just a McMansion if you can manage it,” she teases, her grin mischievous.

You match it with a wink. “I’ll see what I can do.”

“I heard you’re on a hot streak,” Sarah chimes in, raising her glass. She’s right—you have been. Four houses in six months, commissions that exceed your expectations.

“Oh man, I’ve been begging Andy to get into flipping houses,” Claire chimes in excitedly. “ But he threatened to block HGTV.”

"Well, if you’re aiming for divorce, I wouldn’t recommend it. House flipping is a pain—it causes so much stress in relationships."

The words leave your mouth before you can stop them, and the atmosphere shifts instantly. You can feel the tension rise. They know how you got into the business—with your ex—and how that relationship ended.

"Not to say it can’t work, just that there’s a lot of money—and stress. Just look it up on Reddit." You scramble to recover, but it’s too late. You’ve definitely put your foot in your mouth again.

Bethany’s smile tightens, and the others exchange glances. The tension is clear, but before it fully settles, Bethany checks her phone. “Well, on that note, maybe we should call it a night?” she suggests, barely stifling a yawn. There are no objections.

You flag the waitress and ask for the check.

“It’s been taken care of,” she informs, to everyone’s surprise and delight. You have a feeling it’s him again—the one from the bar. He’d paid for your drink earlier, a gesture that should feel charming, yet instead it lodges like a thorn, unsettling.

You half expected him to make some move, some overture, but instead, he kept to himself, a silent presence that filled the air with the sharp sting of his cigarette smoke.

“Who?” Claire asks, her voice filled with curiosity. She twists around, scanning the area for the mysterious benefactor.

You watch the waitress fidget with the edge of her order pad, her gaze shifting from Claire to her manager and back.

“Sorry, ma’am. I don’t know,” she replies meekly.

“Oh, boo!” Claire sighs, shrugging as she reaches for her nearly empty glass. She dismisses it with a quick laugh, while the rest of the group gathers their things, ready to head out. You glance back to where you last saw him, but he’s gone, leaving only a faint, sharp smell of smoke in his absence. A bit of relief fills your lungs—though the unsettled feeling lingers.

🍸

You wait for Claire to climb into her Lyft before you order your own. Your head is a little light, the faint warmth of the alcohol still swirling in your veins as you shift on your heels and order your Lyft. Though you were the first to arrive, you’re always the last to leave, making sure everyone gets into their rides safely.

Your nose picks up the scent of cigarette smoke again. You think it’s him—the strange man from the bar. Of course. Same old game—buy drinks, and suddenly he thinks he’s entitled to more. Irritation crawls up your spine, a familiar, almost automatic response. Well, you're not the naive college girl anymore. You don’t go home with guys just because they bought you a drink.

“Looks like you were making sure everyone got home safe,” he observes, his tone light, a hint of curiosity behind it. “That’s pretty thoughtful.”

“Did you and your friends have fun?” he asks, his accent soft but distinct. You blink, the world spinning just slightly, the edges softening with the alcohol still lingering.

“Yeah,” you reply curtly, a bit slurred as you strain to keep his gaze. It’s easier with the haze of alcohol. At the bar, his stare had been sharp, insistent—too much. Now, it’s different, quieter, but still heavy with something unspoken.

“Heading home?” he asks, stepping closer. He’s taller than you thought, his lean frame filling the sharp lines of his tailored suit, the sharp cut of the fabric emphasizing his broad shoulders and commanding posture.

“Mmm,” you nod, rocking back and forth on your heels, suddenly feeling a sharp edge to your own behavior. You don’t know why you’re being so dismissive. He bought you drinks, paid for the tab—but then again, you’re used to guys in places like this always wanting something more.

“So, you’re British?” you try and rest your mood, offering a soft smile. You should be nicer—he was kind to you. “Are you visiting?”

“Yes. I’ve been here a while, thinking about sticking around a bit longer.”

“Oh, that’s nice,” you say with a slight, nervous chuckle. “I’ve always wanted to see London. You know, see the queen, the big clock, have tea at tea time… but I’m not the biggest fan of flying.”

“London isn’t always easy on newcomers,” he says, his voice low and smooth. His eyes hold yours, and there’s a glimmer of something else—you’re just not sure what. “Sometimes, you need someone to show you the ropes. Maybe even… look out for you.”

And there it is. He wants something more, of course—he wasn’t just being nice. His smooth words, his calm demeanor, all part of some unspoken game. The unease tightens in your chest, like a warning bell growing louder with every passing second.

“Well, if you ever decide to move here permanently, I’d love to sell you a house.” You pull a business card from your purse, swaying slightly as you search, trying to steer away from whatever it is he might be hinting at.

You hold out the card, your legs wobbling slightly. He looks down at it, a hint of a scoff escaping him before dragging his tongue over his bottom lip. His gaze sharpens, making your skin prickle.

"I wasn’t angling for your number," he says smoothly, tossing his cigarette down and crushing it beneath his shoe.

Did you misread him? He’s just some foreign guy trying to be nice. You’re bad at assumptions on a good day, and with the booze kicking in, you probably look like an ass.

"But I’ll keep you in mind when I’m ready to settle down," he adds, taking the card. You can't tell if it's out of pity or politeness. Either way, you feel bad.

"Right…" Your voice falters, a hint of embarrassment creeping in.

A car horn breaks the brief silence, impatient and sharp. He glances at the idling car, a faint smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth.

“I think that might be for you, love.”

Thank goodness. The relief presses down on you, stifling the embarrassment that rises like smoke, suffocating your chest. You nod, offering a quiet goodnight, hoping he doesn’t see the flush spreading through your veins. The sound of your footsteps feels too loud, each one echoing the unease twisting in your gut. You wonder if it will follow you—this feeling, like a shadow—until you're far enough to breathe again.

🍸 Gallagher x Reader 🍸Solitude of the Dreaming City

The typically bustling streets were unusually silent and empty for this time of night. The only wandering souls out and about were those who perhaps had an errand to run, or the oddities who preferred to roam the streets in solitude to indulging in a dreaming delusion. Some continued to run their businesses into the wee hours of the night; though not very profitable, it still served as their own form of escapism.

The bareness of the streets suggested that the bar that you frequented would be peacefully quiet and empty, free of untamable crowds. It wasn’t so much a drink that you were craving at this hour, but rather, the company of Gallagher, the enigmatic bartender. He never was one for talking about himself, leaving what conclusions you could draw as being no better than mere theories. Nonetheless, you did have frequent conversations with him, especially on the quietest nights with not an eavesdropper in the vicinity.

You opened up the door and the bell above you rang gently, signaling your arrival. The atmosphere was just about what you expected; silence laying thick in the room with the exception of quiet music playing in the background.

Around this time, Gallagher was usually cleaning up for the day, wiping down dirty tables and polishing drinking glasses till they were crystal clear. Currently, you saw him standing behind the table, with a soapy sponge in hand vigorously cleaning out a glass that appeared to be the unfortunate victim of a particularly sloppy drinker. He held it up to a light in front of him, checking for any spots before he dared put it back in its proper place. For a moment, he was focused on the blemishes that still remained, until his eyes caught sight of you through the glass.

"Sit wherever you’d like,” Gallagher said, still polishing out the last of the blemishes on the glass.

You took a seat in front of him, and you watched intently as he continued polishing away.

"What will it be tonight?" he asked as he put the glass away to tend to your order.

The answer to that, you hadn’t thought quite that far yet. The purpose of a bar was to satisfy one’s thirst for a drink, yet you had yet to consider that perhaps it was your time to fulfill that very purpose. It was truthfully worth it to simply watch Gallagher as he tended to the upkeeping of his business, but you had your doubts that he was going to accept that and nothing further as your order.

"Oh uh, I haven’t really thought about it yet," you admitted.

"You were looking at me as if you had something in particular that you wanted to request," he observed. "Perhaps something better curated to how you feel might be more suitable than a specific flavor?"

He looked at you as if he could read your every emotion as plainly as if it were written in an open book. You had frequented the place enough times for him to be able to easily tell what was on your mind from your mannerisms alone. Come in looking a little sad, and he would craft you something soft to soothe your weary soul. If you were in particularly high spirits, he would mix up something sweet with a kick to it to fuel you through the evening. A bartender’s gift, perhaps. Or in this case, a curse, as he must be able to tell that you were more preoccupied with talking to him than ordering a drink, as he gave you a smile that hinted that he knew all. And the little bit of flush on your face wasn’t helping your defense either.

"I…don’t know, maybe nothing too overwhelming, yet not dull enough to put me to sleep?” you said, attempting to squeeze in a request before he got any funny ideas.

It seemed to be too late for that, as no matter what you would’ve asked of him, Gallagher appeared to already have plans for you himself. At your request, he smiled and nodded, and grabbed a freshly cleaned glass and slid it to the side. He took a few limes from a bowl on the counter behind him and laid them in a pile. Gallagher picked up one of the limes, which appeared even smaller than it actually was in his massive hand, and shoved his thumb into it and pulled it into halves with ease. Some juice squirted out of the flesh and trickled down his worn, calloused hands, dampening his gloves with sticky, sour juices. He took one half in each hand and squeezed the juice into the cup, then sat aside the drained halves and repeated with another lime.

“So, what brings you here tonight?” he said as he worked at the limes.

“Oh, I was just…in the area I guess,” you said, in an attempt to not divulge your ulterior motives.

“In the area to see me, if I’m not mistaken,” he said with a wink, putting the last of the squeezed limes aside.

“Well, not exactly. You’re always by yourself at this time of night and so I- “

“Figured that I could use some company. The look in your eyes tell me everything.”

“…Perhaps,” you admitted, shying away from his gaze for a moment, “but who else is there to talk to at this hour?”

“There are quite a few other, much more livelier places, yet you chose to come back to the solitude here,” he said, flipping a bottle of tequila in the air, catching it in his hand, and sending the cap flying off with a single flick of his thumb. “Wouldn’t you rather head somewhere more entertaining?”

“It’s pretty dead outside, plus I’d rather chat with a close friend than try to fit in with a bunch of strangers.”

“Completely understandable,” he said as he watched the tequila pour from the bottle and the air bubbles within gurgle to the top. He flipped the bottle back upwards and slapped the cap back on.

You wished that you had more to talk about with him, but with every inquiry you made about his life, he left you with just as little knowledge as you had before. He wasn’t too enthusiastic about sharing any details about his day job as an officer, but a guess of yours was that the issue of confidentiality would arise. Gallagher wasn’t acting as if he were biting his tongue, either, so an equally likely possibility was that he thought that you would harbor little, if any, interest in his routine.

One thing you had learned to never pry at was his past, however. You had only bought up the question to him once, and he simply looked at you wondering why you were so eager to know about something that hardly mattered in the present. You quickly got the message that perhaps, it was a bit of a sensitive topic for him, hence why he never discussed it with you prior.

Gallagher was his own kind of enigma. The visible wear and tear on his body told a story on its own, from his beat-up hands to the scars he very lazily hid with bandages. You wanted to pry and learn of every tale that his body had to tell, but out of respect for him, you decided to leave those conversations to him to bring up.

Even more curious was how gracefully and gallantly he handled the strawberries in his rough, scarred hands, slicing the leaves off with such admirable speed and precision while leaving the plump fruit without as much as a dent. You couldn’t keep your eyes off of the small silver knife he slid through the tops of the fruit, while handing the flesh itself with such care and precision.

The tips of his white glove became stained a light pink from the strawberry juices, but it bothered him not as he was slicing the strawberries and tossing them into a blender. When he was satisfied with the amount he had prepared, he topped it off with some ice, secured the lid, and turned it on a rather high setting. It ran with such speed and force, yet he held it down with one hand as he put a cigarette in his mouth and lit it with the other.

"I’ve never seen such grace in slicing strawberries, of all things," you said.

"It’s an acquired skill, I guess," he said, turning off the blender and pouring the mixture into the glass.

"Bet you’ve become honed through some real interesting experiences in life…”

"A combination of the two factors, maybe."

He grabbed one of the juiced limes and ran it around the edge of the glass, coating the top in sticky juices. His glove, covered in a concoction of strawberry and lime juices, was now starting to stick to his hand, so after taking the cigarette out of his mouth for a moment, he peeled off the sticky glove with his teeth, then spat it aside.

With his tattered hand now free, he grabbed a scoop of sugar crystals and sprinkled them along the edge of the glass, some falling onto the freshly cleaned counter. When he determined that it was blended thoroughly enough, he turned the blender off, popped the lid off, and poured its contents into the glass. With a swift flick of his surprisingly nimble wrist, he slid the glass over in front of you, not even spilling as much as a single drop.

He allowed you to add the finishing touch to his masterpiece by taking a few various colored straws between his fingers and presented them to you for you to select one that was to your liking.

"All done," he said, using his free hand to briefly take the cigarette out of his mouth.

You grabbed the straw that was most appealing to you, and he swiftly flipped the others back into the jar. Before taking a sip, you spared a moment to indulge yourself in the aroma of his expertly crafted concoction. It smelled very strongly of strawberries with just a zing of alcohol, enough to keep you in high spirits but not knock you out in an instant. You went to sample the drink, when Gallagher abruptly spun the straw towards him with a single flick of his finger.

"Wait a moment. Forgot something," he said.

Gallagher pulled out a rose from a vase that was on display on the counter. He plucked a couple of vibrant red petals and laid them on top of your drink to diffuse their flavor into the liquid. Then, he turned the straw back to you with a smile.

"What was that for?" you asked.

"A good drink is comprised of the heart and soul of both consumer and craftsman. I’d say a rose is pretty fitting for a time like now, no?"

Oh. So he meant it like that. You had to admit, the drink did taste pretty damn good infused with the rose petals, but Gallagher couldn’t make himself any more obvious at this point. As his words sank in, you remained silent as you kept your mouth on the straw, even without sipping the drink.

"No need to be shy around me, dear. It wasn’t hard to figure out why you’ve been choosing to crash at this place coincidentally when attendance was at a low," he said, looking at you as he rested his arm on the table.

"Aha, well..." you said, unable to find the words to defend yourself with.

"This ones on me, if you’d be willing to stay and chat just a little while longer.”

"Sure but, I thought you said that a drink is made from feelings of both...surely you don’t mean-"

"Hey, my offer stands regardless. Take it or leave it, you still won’t owe me any credits in the end."

"I wouldn’t mind sticking around to chat with you for a bit," you said, shyly twirling the straw around.

As he was wiping the juices from his hands with a towel, he smiled, satisfied with both his cleverly crafted beverage and your acceptance of his invitation.

"And... I do wish I could see you more often outside of your occupations."

"You and me both, sweetheart," he said, brushing some of your hair aside. "Thankfully, I doubt I’ll be seeing any more customers come in tonight, if it is truly as dead as you claim it to be out there.”

"From how the streets were looking, I assure you that the chances of someone else craving a drink at this hour are very slim.”

"Well, perfect time for a first date then, I’d say,” Gallagher said as he stood up to prepare a drink for himself.

“Agreed,” you said, pulling out a chair next to you for him to sit at.

PSA: @@Allthingsanthonyramos Community members:

As most of you know, I am the Community admin for All Things Anthony Ramos. I really want to grow the Community and make it a fun place to discuss, well, all things Anthony. 🤗 I've come up with the below weekly discussion topics.

Music Mondays 🎵🎤🎧: We pick an album, song, performance or other music related topic (or it could just be opened ended) to discuss (or drag 🤣) Anthony.

Trivia Tuesdays 🧠🧐💡🤓: Post a question about Anthony that only a die hard fan would know (@whatsgoingonovahere, I’m going to be leaning on you for these🙏🏾), Yes, this is secretly a way for me and others to graduate from baby fan status.🥹

Wildin’ Out Wednesdays 🤪😜: I was thinking this will be more of a free for all, no topic off limits (but please but respectful), for members to discuss the more ratchet aspects of Anthony, or engage in my favorite pastime, dragging his team, but mostly Mario.

Thirsty Thursdays 🍷🍻🍸🥃: Post your favorite thirst traps of Anthony, and/or some after dark discussions (but please keep it respectful).

Film Fridays 🎥🎬🎞️🍿: Each week, we will highlight an item from Anthony’s filmography, or discuss projects or roles you would like to see him in.

the morning after

good morning all [: i have to go to work today, and do more work after ;-; but i'm very excited to write some things and get more words/drama/fluff/angst out to all of you [[[':

to quell your thirst, here is the (very long) first part to the drinks finale: 🍸 (the series has gone from being mimosa as a standalone because after seeing the want for a sequel and writing sangria as an ask, i realized that it needed a proper arc lmao. got a weeeee bit obsessed with thoughts of brothersbestfriend!mike and here we are haha. cleverly titled drinks because alcohol somehow always leads you to your brother's best friend....hm.....)

okie. as i always say, part two of that coming soon (the finale is BIG and probably the longest story i've written for mike thus far!) and part four of safety net coming before wednesday [: exciting times in the digital garden fr!

hope you're all having a great day/morning, and see you soon <3

The bartender noticed the exaggerated sigh and how moody Yog seemed to be, he felt bad that he couldn't serve him some blood.. could he?

The bartender nodded and grabbed a bottle of wine, doing a few tricks to entertain Yog for a short period of time before pouring the wine in a glass and passing it to Yog.

Upon smell, the scent was like any other wine but there was also something else in it that Yog couldn't quite put his finger on it yet.. it smelled quite delicious?

- 🍸

Yog chuckled as he watched the bartender do his tricks, picking his head up slightly to watch all of it. A smile finally rested on the vampire’s face as he took the wine glass.

“ Aha! What a nice performance, my dear. My night has gotten significantly better ~ ”

He sniffed the wine before tasting it, a little confused. It smelled off, but it smelled so good. His thirst caved in on itself as he just started drinking the suspicious wine—just needing a break from the day.

🖊️🔶🍃💚🍸😓

🖊️ BALLPOINT PEN — does your oc have any tattoos? do they want any (more) tattoos?

I have this handy dandy lil graphic meta on gen's tattoos, there are a few that don't have pictures, like the little weed leaf on their ankle or the bee on her wrist. she does want a few more, possibly (yet another) butterfly.

🔶 LARGE ORANGE DIAMOND — does your oc know cpr? do they have any other medical expertise?

due to summer camp counselor things, as well as a short lived career as a babysitter, gen does know cpr! she can also sew stitches, not pretty ones but they hold, clean wounds, and usually has a mini first aid kit in whatever bag she's using. sometimes it is forgotten in her car though.

🍃 LEAVES FLUTTERING IN WIND — what is/was your oc's favorite subject in school?

history! no real reason other than she just always felt a pull to it, seemed to know how certain events happened without having done the reading assignments, just kinda knew.

💚 GREEN HEART — does your oc prefer being inside or outside?

outside! anytime gen can be outdoors they will jump on the opportunity. that said, she also loves being curled up on the couch for hours and hours.

🍸 COCKTAIL GLASS — what is your oc's favorite alcoholic drink, if they can drink?

she doesn't drink, it messes with her powers and with her meds, so she very rarely will drink alcohol. if it's weak enough, she might, but usually she'll opt for a non-alcoholic version.

😓 DOWNCAST FACE WITH SWEAT — is your oc open-minded or stubborn? are they inquisitive or do they prefer to keep to their bubble of knowledge?

see like, gen is open minded about some things but so chronically stubborn about other things. if it's about keeping someone else safe or like, doing something self destructive, she's super fucking stubborn about it. also doesn't like being wrong but might admit to it depending on the person. that said, she is incredibly deeply inquisitive. always wants to learn more and know more, this has gotten her into massive shit before but she doesn't care. bb has a thirst for knowledge.
