Zeph noticed his presence missing immediately, muttering curses.

"Shit," He dug into his pocket and grabbed his phone, scrolling through the numbers and sent Nakai a text.

'Im so sorry Nakai, something came up, are you okay?'

Nakai shifted, he was already pulling out the parking spot down the way when there was a message. He had a feeling it was who he thought it was, but he had seen so many movies. Met so many people, he had a feeling there was an excuse in that message.

Too tired to deal with it right away, Nakai went home. Waiting for him, his roommate was making dinner.

"Hey-" his roommate ultimately frowned upon seeing his face.

"Kai?"

"Don't, I'm fine. That place was just a lot."

His friend still frowned, nodding. Though he moved after him.

"I'll bring you dinner."

In that moment he thought perhaps it was a bad idea to push Nakai into something like that, and he felt like shit for it.

Inside Nakai's room, he fell back into his bed. Finally opening the message.

He sighed, "Something came up..." He rested his phone down, leaving the keyboard open.

Zeph sat at the bar, his head down. He sighed, closing his eyes. Knowing well enough he fucked up with Nakai. His leg bounced, anxiety reeling up in him. It was just a guy, but damn was he obsessed, this feeling equal to what he felt with Rendal.

He sighed, clenching his fist around the whiskey glass before sitting up and downing it as he waited for a response.

Nakai's best friend, Deake walked in. Noticing the open keyboard. He leaned over him reading the message.

"You gonna respond?"

"I don't know if I want to..." Nakai sighed.

Deake set his food down and grabbed the phone, noticing it was the only message from this person.

"Well if you don't, I will."

"Hey!-"

But it was too late, Deake typed up a message.

'i'm okay, my roommate needed some help... I'll see you tomorrow?'

Zeph immediately sat up, grabbing the phone and stared. He blinked fast before typing.

'i promise to make it up to you, i hope you're roommate is okay. sleep well beautiful.'

Deake grinned, handing the phone over to his roommate.

"Gotcha a date, lose the frown," the male pushed his plate closer.

"And eat, I know you're hungry. They don't sell shit but boners and booze at that place."

Nakai grunted, but he looked at the message and found himself blushing up a bit.

'you too Zeph, goodnight.'

Zeph let out a grunt, pleased. He pulled himself up.

'Good night love.'

He walked into the back, sighing upon seeing Kit and Jezz fucking. he closed the door back. "Just want my bag..." He sighed, moving back in and grabbed it, silently grabbing Jezz's hair and pulled him close, kissing him for a moment before walking back out.

Zeph retired at home, bringing Rendal with him. The others finally leaving their shifts.

The next day Zephyr was at the bar absolutely slammed. He was pushing out drinks left and right, sleeves rolled up. When he spotted Nakai again, his movements stuttering. Though Ren walked up too. He sighed, grunting as he filled a glass.

Ren noticed Zephyr's staggering movements. Cocking his head.

Though Nakai saw the male and suddenly his breath stalled, perhaps that was what came up... the guy with the pink hair.

Zephyr looked between the two, "Fuck."

He sighed, setting a glass in front of a girl who touched him for way too long. Being used to it he just grunted, looking away as he pulled up his hair in a ponytail, getting too hot between work and the two males.

That's when Rendal noticed Nakai. His eyes raked over him, but then he noticed how long he watched Zeph and he cocked a brow.

"You're staring," was all Rendal said.

That made Nakai jump, only making Ren smirk.

When the rush calm, only did Zeph down a water, kicking Kit away from him before he punched him.

He looked at the two, leaning against the bar.

"Hey..." Is all he could manage to the two, wiping his hands off.

"Hey beautiful, take a break. Yeah?"

Nakai on the other hand, he watched Zephyr and softly offered a smile.

"And have Jezz man the bar? I heard last night went shit," He sighed, looking away from the two. Why did he feel guilty?

He shifted, looking at Nakai. "Can we talk?"

"Fucking hell, I'll do it," Rendal hummed, jumping the bar like a fucking caveman.

Whilst Nakai softly looked at Zeph, he nodded.

"Uh... Yeah."

Zeph sighed at Ren's insistence but walked around the bar anyways. "If i see a foot mark on my bar i'm beating you." He warned Ren, walking off with Nakai. He led him to the back where the dancers dressed but all the dancers were on the floor.

"I'm sorry about last night, I have no excuse for that..." Zeph sighed, rubbing his face. "I want you to take that offer because I mean it. Even if it's not sex I want to be near you."

Nakai softly watched him, nodding.

"I want to."

The taller male stared at him, slowly tilting his head. "Want to what?"

"Take you up on that offer," Nakai softly flashed the room key with a nervous shrug.

Zephyr watched him, gauging something before moving forward. Normally he would do more but he wanted to do right with Nakai. So he simply grabbed his chin, tilting his head up and kissed his forehead.

Nakai softly closed his eyes, Rendal watching the exchange fondly instead of normal.

Nakai slowly watched the male before him.

"What was... t - that for?"

"Hm... I owe you after last night." Zeph ruffled his hair, softly rubbing his cheek.

He shifted, watching Nixie enter, looking at the two. She winked at Nakai, making Zeph raise a brow. She silently sat down fixing her makeup before meeting Rendal's eyes through the door, honestly surprised he was so chill about Zeph's attention on Nakai.
