A pause formed as she listened, giving a small nod of the head. “Dom, okay. I don’t really have a nickname, sadly. Athena is a mouthful. Um, I don’t really know who. I-” she looked at the glass in front of her, slowly watching him make a new one. “Thank you. Um, yeah. I’m off tonight and figured I could watch a hockey game where I’m not sitting on edge of the seat stressed out and trying to things to talk to the players about. So I’m just relaxing. How are you? Besides being at work and all that fun stuff. Is being a bartender fun? I wouldn’t know because I’m a bit of a klutz and I would be dropping glasses instead of filing them,” she smiled as she took a drink of the old drink she had, rubbing her lips. Athena couldn’t help but watch him form the drink, not really ever watching or paying attention to it before. She normally was way too distracted most of the time. “Why do I feel like there’s a slight motive behind this? Because I don’t think you would just remake a drink for anyone.”

Dominic worked quickly as Athena spoke, his hands grabbing bottles, jiggers and and a nice clean, cold glass with speed and precision. He hadn’t run into her in a while, and it was genuinely nice to see her without her cast, and it was a treat to have a familiar face at the bar which was typically filled with angry New Yorkers or excited tourists. “Yeah, well feel free to hang out as long as you want, though I’m not sure how much you’ll actually hear the commentators very well. I’ve been alright. Same as always; school is sucking the life out of me and my landlord is draining my bank account. But whatever,” he said, shrugging his shoulders. Before long, Dominic set down the glass in front of Athena with far too much flair to be deemed normal, even in a New York bar on a Friday night. But normal was never really Dom’s thing. “Can’t I just make you a great drink without you questioning hidden motives?” He questioned playfully, arching an eyebrow at her. He did have motives. He wanted to know everything that was going on with Athena and Malcom, not to be nosey, but to protect his rather fragile friends heart. “But okay, since you’ve already called me out on it, what’s going on with you and Malcom? You hanging out? Hookin’ up? What’s going on?”

An off day during the height of the season was rare for Athena, but she got lucky and decided to treat herself by going to get a drink and just relax. Finding a spot at the bar that was closest to the hockey game that was playing, Athena gave a small smile to the bartender as he made her old fashioned. A nod of thanks made her green eyes move back to the screen, taking a sip every now and then. She definitely wasn’t prepared to see a familiar face at the bar as a bartender, giving a confused look as he walked towards her. “Hi. Dominic, right? How are you?” A smile formed on her face as she moved her eyes to look at him. @dominic-c​

Dominic used to think that Saturday nights were when people finally let loose and went out for a night on the town. But after a year at the bar, he realized that the Saturday crowd was nothing in comparison to the Friday crowd. It made sense. Friday night was right at the end of the work week, and for those unlucky individuals who’d undergone days of stress and anxiety, the idea of winding down with a glass of wine, pint of beer, or fancy cocktail was the perfect way to ring in the weekend. Stepping out from the back fridge, with new bottles, he spotted a familiar face sitting up at the bar. Instantly, a mischievous smile crept across his features. Athena. Sure they were familiar, but after his last conversation with Malcom, he had learned so much more about her. Setting down the box, he quickly made his way over before his coworkers could. “Yeah yeah, though Dom is fine. Less formal and definitely less of a mouthful. But ah, yeah I’m great. How are you? Which one of these idiots made your drink? I bet it tastes like shit,” he said, leaning against the bar. “Let me make you a better one.” Instantly, he sprung into action and started on another, apparently better version of the Old Fashioned. “What are you up to? Just hanging out?”

“Oh my god, that’s such a great…top.” Sutton complimented loudly and forcibly, as a bright fake smile curled up on her lips. “–Okay, I’m gonna cut the shit.” She took a brief look around to make sure that there was no one too close by that was paying attention, before Sutton began to whisper. “Look, the paps are following me right now, like the assholes that they are. They want to catch me fucking up and if they keep following me, they’ll eventually get something. So help me shake them off by showing them that I’m boring now and I’ll help you out. Yeah?”

Dom stood at the bus stop with his hood pulled over his head and eyes lowered to his phone screen. It was getting late, he was unbearably tired, and all he could think about was his nice warm bed waiting for him at home. He was just about to put in his earphones when a dark haired woman approached him and complimented his hoodie - which definitely did not deserve the title of nice. “My bus comes around in three minutes,” he prefaced, his tone conveying his confusion. “Ah, you can get on the bus with me for a couple stops. But if I have to stick around ‘til they leave, I’m gonna need a coffee.”

Favorite places you've been to in Canada?

Vancouver is fucking insane. My family went on a trip out there and the Capilano Bridge was my absolute favourite. 

[dominic-c]

Thing you miss the most about Toronto?

It’s got a big city vibe without being geographically huge. The foods great, summer in Toronto is absolutely insane and the people are just so much nicer there than they are here. But, my family would definitely be what I miss most about home.

Louisa took a moment to glance up at the familiar figure hovering above her, her heart momentarily beating faster than it had on her run that morning. When she left a few months ago, she needed time away from her extremely tumultuous relationship with Dom, and with that time she was able to work through a few of her residual feelings for him. She felt sad, but also somewhat emboldened by the idea of being the bigger person. Maybe they could just have a friendship without any messiness? Maybe they could be adults? Either way, as he stood above her, she couldn’t help but feel relieved that he was there and she was back. As much as they fought, as many tears as she cried about him, he still felt like home. He still meant everything to her. 

“You? Share? Damn, you really did some growing up over the last three months, Dom.”

Dominic’s lips instantly curled up into a smile when the hooded figure turned out to be none other than Louisa Wilson. It had been months since he’d last seen her, and after their rocky falling out, he was beginning to think that she was gone and never coming back. However, despite how messy things had gotten between the two, he was happy to have her back in the city - and not jumping at the chance to claw his face off. “About half an inch, actually,” he joked, his smile spreading clear across his face as he took the seat across from her. “Where did you run off too?” He asked as he pulled out his laptop and notebook from his backpack. “You look like you got some sun. You’re all glowy and sun-kissed or whatever.”

“I don’t know. I don’t know much about basketball so I don’t think I would really be able to get into it that much. I could try but it took me years to get into football. My dad watched it religiously as if the world was going to end if he didn’t. I haven’t watched a match in years. I just check up on it every now and then.” The brunette slowly climbed, out, just grabbing pjs instead of putting on what she had before. “Oh, I think next time, I’ll shut the door so we don’t have a a viewer. It felt a little weird,” she scrunched her face as she slid the clothing on. “I’m not a massive cuddler. I just like some interaction afterwards. Don’t sprint and not say goodbye. Although I do eat after sex. I’m hungry right now, come to think about it.”

"I can run out and grab something if you want,” Dominic proposed, thinking of the restaurants or fast food joints he’d passed by on his way over. “I don’t know if you’re picky or don’t eat some things but I could really go for some nachos right now. Anything with queso really.” He was comfortable in her bed, laying on his back and looking at her ceiling and admittedly didn’t want to get up and go out for food. But his stomach was beginning to gurgle and the last thing he wanted was for her to hear the orchestra within his internal organs. “Or we could just Postmates something.”

Exam season was just around the corner, and Dominic, like every other student in New York, was scrambling to get their notes in order. However, his was nowhere close. With blueprints, laptop, notes and snacks hastily shoved into his bag, Dominic made his way to the library in search of a quiet corner to cram. But as his usual seat was occupied, he decided to go to head upstairs to an area he used to frequent more often.The top floor of the library was quiet though nearly all the seats were occupied. But out of the corner of his eye, he spotted one empty seat across from a hooded figure. Quickly, and before anyone else had the chance to take it, he made his way over and stopped by the person. “Hey, you mind if I crash here? I promise not to tap my foot or pen or anything obnoxious like that,” he said, flashing his most charming smile in the hopes of winning over the seat. “I’ll even share half my muffin.”

“Mid October starts auditions. And with how much talent the company has, you have to basically practice everyday up to the day of the audition. Each year I get stressed out over what role I’ll get in the ballet. It’s sad, really,” she gave a small sigh in thought. A small smirk formed when he defended himself, a brow raised in thought. “I don’t think I have time to worry about who else you’re with. As long we fulfill the needs we have at the time, then I’m fine. Like a booty call, right? Ha, you can be my booty call,” the brunette gave a small giggle before hiding it when he hovered over her. The small kiss made her smile, slowly sitting up as she held the blanket to cover her. “One thing though. As long as I get some cuddling afterwards, I’m content. It doesn’t have to be much, but I appreciate when someone acts like I’m somewhat decent enough for people not to run away from, I’m fine. When I was younger, I literally had a guy sprint out the door. Lost way too much confidence when that happened. Do not want a redo of that.”

“In that case, you can watch pre-season games. They’re definitely not as exciting, but I find the new players get super excited and start showing off. So if you want to see people play ball just to prove that they can do it, those are the games you gotta watch.” Once out of the warmth and comfort of her bed, Dominic pulled on his boxers, jeans and t-shirt while facing away from little Cornelius who was laying on the floor. It was irrational, but the idea of her dog seeing him naked was incredibly awkward and would definitely impact his relationship for him. Once done, Dom laid across the food of her bed. “Ah, you’re a cuddler,” he repeated, rubbing his eyes as his fatigue finally hit him. “Honestly, not much of a cuddler myself. I’m a shower-and-eat-right-away kinda guy, but I guess we’ll find a way to make it work.”

“Right. I can tell you right now that basketball is during the time of year that I’m throwing myself into the world of dance for the Nutcracker and then we do a production in the spring. The fall is really when I have some free time,” she gave an innocent smile to him. The silence that formed after she spoke, made her suddenly feel awkward, her eyes staying focused straight ahead as her head stayed on his chest. “If you think I’m the jealous type then you really don’t know me well. I’m almost as chill as they come. It’s really just needing a release from time to time without strings attached. And I deal with way too many male dancers that I need to be friends with a guy that isn’t asking about the next show. Unless you’re the one that will be getting jealous. Who knows who will want all of this,” she moved her hand to show her body.

“Well the season starts in mid-October, which is apparently the perfect time for you to catch up on a few games and figure out who your favourite team is,” Dom added with a quick shrug of his shoulders. His life was a steady routine consisting of school, his internship, working at the bar and Raptors games. Though most bars pulled in a crowed when the home-team was playing, Dominic never failed to air a Raptors game if he was manning the bar. “Now, I never said that,” he quickly defended, chuckling lowly at her lengthy explanation. “I’m more than okay with keeping things casual so long as you don’t ring down my phone asking for explanations if you happen to see me with another woman one day. But if you’re cool with that then so am I.” Dominic rolled over until he was hovering on top of her. He watched her face for any sign of hesitation, but when he saw none, he leaned down and placed a quick kiss to her lips. Pulling back, he rolled out of bed and searched the floor for his discarded clothes.

“I usually do. It makes me feel like I have my life together. Doesn’t always mean I do, but you never know when you will want to feel sexy, yeah?” Cora smiled as she nestled her head, listening to his words. “That means you are really into your team. Although, I feel bad because I don’t know what sport that is. Really wish I could understand sports, but I only know football and that’s soccer here, I think.” Cora pushed her lips together in thought. “I think it would be fun to do this again. Not anything fancy or serious, but have some fun?”

“Basketball! Come on, Cora. The Raptors are the reigning Champions of the NBA! We had Kawhi last year, Siakam won Most Improved Player, he’s now on a crazy $150 million 4 year deal, and Lowry finally got to hold up the trophy,” Dom spoke passionately, his hands gesturing wildly as he replayed the Raptors’ last season. “The team here is the Knicks, or Nets, depends on where you are. But both are no match for the Raptors.” Dominic brushed away some of the long curls that had fallen across his face before looking down at her. He wasn’t entirely sure if she was being serious, that she wanted to actually continue casually hooking up with him, of if she was just pulling his leg and testing the waters. But after a moment of silence, he said, “It’s only fun until someone gets jealous.”

“Do you want m to be honest?” She shook her head with a smile. “I think what we did was scary movie and sex. Similar to Netflix and chill, but with a creepy vibes.” Burying her head more into him, the brunette couldn’t help but move even closer to rest on his body. “I know this may be a shocker, but I don’t normally do this, so it was very not what I thought would happen. I did possibly wear fancy knickers just in case. Not that I was assuming, but it was a nice thought,” the Brit’s face heated up as she got flustered with her words.

“You did?” Dominic asked, propping himself up onto an elbow to search the floor for her discarded knickers. Truthfully, he hadn’t noticed. All he was focused on at the time was getting it off her body, not so much the little details that deemed it fancy in comparison to the rest. “My boxers have Toronto Raptors logos all over it,” he began, chuckling lowly as he settled back against the bed. “I don’t know if that means I was trying to impress you, or if I was really not trying at all.”
