(renovated bar was not made by me)
His next visitor was his longtime friend, Brantley. Instead of spending the day in, they went out to the local bar.
They laughed, joked, and just had a great chat about their lives and whatever that came to mind. Jonathan remembered why he and Brantley was such good friends in the first place. He could let loose, not caring about keeping an appearance. Too bad that hanging out all night wasn't an option due to them both having jobs to get to in the morning.
Just before midnight, Brantley had to leave. Jonathan stayed at the bar to have a few more drinks even though he had to be at work at 8 in the morning. That's when the night started to go to shit.
While he was at the bar, a drunken man approached him and started spewing insults for practically no reason.
???: Trash like you keep polluting these bars. They need to ban y'all from the public.
Jonathan: Wh-What the hell are you talking about?
???: You and your boyfriend over there. Shit ain't natural.
Jonathan: Boyfriend? That's not my boyfriend.
Jonathan: Whatever, old man.
Jonathan went outside for a smoke. That was the weirdest situation he had found himself in. He was unsure how that man mistook him and Brantley as boyfriends. The man was drunk, so that probably was a major factor. He was just going to forget about it.
The man ended up following him outside. Jonathan tried to ignore him, but the man kept yelling at him. It was getting to the point where the anger started to boil over. He balled his fists up.
Jonathan gave him a shove. That didn't do much to deter him.
Jonathan: What the fuck is your problem, man? I didn't do anything to you.
???: You just look so fucking stupid.
Jonathan: Not as stupid as being drunk out of my mind and harassing people.
???: What are you going to do about it? Cry and whine? What will your mother think?
Jonathan didn't hold back anymore. He threw a punch straight to his gut. The man curled over in pain.
It was time to call it a night. Jonathan left the bar, not regretting that one bit.
