WHERE: The Whiskey Barrel, Monster Mash Bash WITH: @recklessreyes
The bar was utter chaos the night of the Monster Mash Bashā as expectedā which meant Javi had been burning it at both ends from the moment heād stepped foot inside the Whiskey Barrel. It left him little time to touch base with anyone, even his own co-workers, despite how badly heād ached to steal a moment of Adriās timeā¦even if he still wasnāt quite sure what the fuck heād do with it. Theyād synced up in terms of costumes, they were moving slowly, but that didnāt mean that Javi really knew what to make of it all. And that only made him more desperate to check in, almost like he was constantly second guessing himself with her, because he didnāt know any betterā not after seven years away from anything meaningful.Ā
Finally, he found himself next to her behind the bar, both mixing drinks for whoever the fuck had caught their eye first. He took that as a moment to try and get a word in edgewise. āI told Aslan I was dressing up as him this year,ā he laughed over the noise, gesturing at his lion costume. Whenever heād thought of dressing up as a lion, he hadnāt thought twice about what Aslanās name literally meant. But once heād figured it out, heād taken full advantage. āHe wasnāt too impressed,ā Javi laughed, even though the reality was that Aslan had been a perfectly good sport about it.Ā
āYou making it?ā He prompted, shifting focus onto her, rather than the madness erupting all around them, āSorry I havenāt really had a chance to check in at allā nature of the beast, right?ā
