Snippet #2711204

When Hiruka made it back to his apartment, the door was locked, meaning that Makoto had already left for Ahnenerbe. The bar is opened for the whole week, after all, especially since business can only get better everyday. He took a quick shower and changed into a more subtle yet revealing attire and made a quick dinner for himself, and leave for the bar. He simply didn't have anything else better to do for now, so bothering his brother and enacting some conversation with the patrons there would be the best option for him to get through this night. It's a habit that's simply never gets old. Besides, he hasn't been drinking for some times now, so he might as well grab a cup or two.

His walk to the bar was uneventful as he simply put on his headphones, uncaring about all the souls that passed him by. Some ragged guys and some bad boys wannabe on the streets were whistling at him, but he didn't give a damn. Night time sure is the time when he can truly be himself, and Hiruka enjoys it the most because of that. Pushing the wooden door of Ahnenerbe, the bell hanging over it rang, signaling Makoto that his brother came in.

"Having fun?" Makoto asked as he put some ice into a glass and pour some cognac into it, as Hiruka sat down on the bench, "Though I suppose that was a rather unnecessary question, huh?"

"Yeah, it was. Really take me back to the old times." Hiruka sat down at the counter and mingle with the glass before taking a sip from it, "He was quite cute, if I must say."

"Heh, I've always thought you two were born for each other, guess that has never been wrong, after all." Makoto smirked and began mixing a cocktail.

"I guess you could say that. It was nice to see him remaining unchanged, even after all those years." Hiruka unconsciously caress his cheek, where Yutaro kissed him earlier when they departed.

Of course, such action didn't escape Makoto's eyes as his lips curved into another smirk, "Now you got me curious. How was your first date in a while turned out?"

Hiruka recounted all that had happened to Makoto, in a teasing manner obviously. The night passed by quietly. After bothering his brother, he turned his attention to some other patrons who had been eyeing him. Some were new faces and some were the frequent ones. They all flirted and showered Hiruka with compliments as of how enticing he is, but none of them did he enjoy as much as Yutaro's clumsy yet genuine speeches. He supposed ever since they came into each other's lives, many things have changed.

He spent the night with Makoto at the bar until closing time and they went back home together. Morning quickly approaches and he began another busy day at Arisu's as usual. Like everyday, the lines of customers waiting for their service were long indeed. When Hiruka finished with doing a rather flashy hairstyle for a young teenage girl, he waited for the next person in line to step in, which was a teenage-looking boy with a rather... improper bleached hair, though after a few minutes, the boy just sat there, seemingly clueless. Hiruka sighed as he approached the boy, "Okyaku-sama, you're the next person in line. How can we help you with our services?"
