Ale shrugged, making a face at the suggestion. “That takes sipping and time and blah blah blah. Just give me something strong in a shot glass, and then fill it a few times for me?” He suggested, offering a pleading expression and gesturing around their place of business. “I don’t offer any subtle hints, unfortunately. They don’t like hints. They want someone dumb and happy and willing to do anything they can think of to do. And if you put up with all of that shit, you get the big bills,” he explained, shrugging. It probably wasn’t the best idea, hinting at the illegalities he got up to when nobody important was looking (or when he knew the important people that were looking wouldn’t care). But Ale had been here long enough to know it didn’t really make a difference. He brought in money, that was what mattered. 

“You got it, I got a bottle of Bacardi here, one of the strongest drinks.” Vivian took out a shot glass and filled it up, sliding it in Ale’s direction. She nodded as she glanced around with him. Knowing all of this far too well, “Sometimes if you’re lucky though you can run into a person who likes being ordered around. Those are the most fun.” She shrugged with him, “Well you got to do what you can you know. There is no fun in following all the rules and some of the rules just don’t get you the best results. You have to do what’s best for you first.” At least that is how she lived her life and she found it to work the best for her.

Now that comment brought a laugh out of him and Matt shook his head before replying with a smile, “Spoken as someone who has pulled their fair share of all nighters.” He’s no stranger to those back when he worked 24s. Even the bit of sleep he got at the station in between calls didn’t mean it was restful. “I’m going all in. Caffeinated me at 3am is future me’s problem. Might be a good time to get caught up on some shows I’ve neglected.” Given how busy they’ve been there hasn’t been a whole lot of time to watch their shows. Even Golden Girls has taken a back seat and that’s his and Aksel’s usual night time show. “What’s got you needing to caffeinate at this hour?” he asked as he stepped into the line behind them.

“Way more than I’d ever care to admit. The things you do for work and fun.” She shook her head, a proud little smile on her face though when she got a laugh out of him. Normally she felt like her straight to the point attitude made her standoffish so it was nice to see a person who found her comments amusing. “See now you have the right frame of mind. That is a problem to deal with later. Hell, there are even drinks you can have to get you tired again. Have some relaxing tea and you can be out like a light.” Vivian still does that to this day to get sleep after work. “Marathoning some shows isn’t a bad idea either though, depending on what you want to watch.” She stepped in then glanced back at Matt, “Oh work, got to make it seem like I really am energized and excited to be there.” She said, only partly joking.”

Ben: I don't know how surprised I'd be. I'm of the opinion that most guys are assholes.

Ben: Fun and smart don't always go hand in hand. I'm probably lucky I'm still alive.

Ben: Do you have one with training wheels?

Vivian: That is quite shocking but good to hear.

Vivian: I mean what's the fun in playing safe? You're suppose to live your life while you can.

Vivian: There are actually three wheel motorcycles out there. But I think you'd find its not too hard to learn.

“Oh, I could easily fill a whole library if I was given the opportunity.” She mused, the smile tugging at her lips. And yes, a girl could dream of an apartment —or a house— with giant bookshelves lining the walls, and maybe one of those ladders to get to the top. “I could buy it for you?” Alyria offered as the other woman took the book from her hands. Then Aly could read it once Vivan was done. That was a win-win. A hum at the comment. “Only if they’re well written, and actually answer everything in the end. I hate being left with questions.” 

“Have you seen those ones where they have shelves that go to the ceilings? That shit is insane but so cool at the same time.” She didn’t read a lot of books, not enough to fill it up but it made her think of her dads office. “Wait for real? That would be cool of you but you wouldn’t have to.” Vivian was always surprised when people where very kind. “You could borrow it after if you want? It would be nice to talk about a book with someone.” Normally she didn’t talk much about her reading habits with her other friends. “That is so annoying isn’t it? I can almost tolerate if it goes into a series but just one book? Especially when they solve it and then another random mystery pops up.”

Does he feel like he’s walking on air given how happy he is? You bet! The Paris trip? Incredible. It made returning home a challenge, especially with bouncing back into routines. Matt doesn’t return to work for another day and damn, he’s glad for it due to the jetlag. People talked about how Godawful it is and it’s his first time experiencing it in full force. Instead of sleeping all day to get back into the swing of things Matt kept himself awake. So awake he’s actually contemplating a SECOND americano. No half caf either. he rarely goes for a second. He stands at the counter, away from the line, and mulls this over. Will this fuck with him getting actual sleep tonight when he needs it due to his return to work tomorrow? “Should I get a 2nd Americano?” he asks himself but loud enough that the person next to him most likely thinks he’s asking the question to them. Matt catches on and apologizes with a chuckle. “Sorry. I’m at a crossroads. Do I want to caffeinate myself to the point of losing actual sleep tonight? Half caf is an option too, I guess.” 

Some weeks Vivian would have back to back late shifts at work, which would lead to not that much time between her shifts. Sleeping during the day wasn’t unusual for her but she always felt like she needed caffeine to give her a little more motivation. She glanced over when she heard someone speaking to her. Glad that she already had a cup earlier in the day, normally she’d be quite unapproachable without her first cup of coffee. “Who needs a decent sleep schedule? That’s for the week. Screw being normal if you ask me.” She shrugged, “Besides it’s good coffee and you’re already here, why not enjoy it? Can’t just half ass it? Decaf or Halfcaf just feels like it diminishes the taste.”

“I had a meeting to see if I could foster or adopt a child with my partner. It was a long meeting and now I am in need of some caffeine and to get out of this backstreet boys suit.” He chuckled. “I don’t usually dress like this, but majority of my stuff is packed as I am moving into  bigger home and everything is in boxes so I am stuck wearing this outfit.” He sighed looking down at it. “Trust me, this is the last time you will ever see me in grey I feel awkward as fuck and it makes me look pale.” 

“Damn that’s pretty important then, you got to go all out for stuff like that.” It was always nice to hear about people who were excited to be parents. “All you need is some iced tips there and you’d fit right in. You know a lot of people love them so you’d probably gain quite a few fans.” She laughed herself. “Well it doesn’t look to bad, I’m sure they appreciated that you dressed up.” Vivian shrugged, “I know what you mean, I don’t like how I look in grey either. Black outfits or warmer colors are where it’s at. But I’m not normally dressing for occasions like that.”

Hana felt a rush of joy at the other woman’s words. “I will make you the cauliflower bites! Just let me know when and how spicy you want them.” As far as her cats went, there was no distracting them when it came to food they wanted. “I swear I feed them whenever I start cooking and they have top quality food. But no, their human’s chicken is better.” She giggled at her two chaotic furbabies. Tacos and cauliflower bites sounded like a decent meal to Hana. “Look at me go planning tomorrows dinner…" 

“The spice level that you think is the best and preferably as soon as possible. You can’t just plant all these ideas and then expect me to wait. That is for sure not fair.” Vivian shrugged, teasing just slightly, she always loved some back and forth. She shook her head, “That’s insane, that must take a ton of patience too. But I’m sure the two of them being cute helps them a ton.” She nodded, “Oh for sure I’m already thinking of all the spicy things I could make.”

“What’s a harmless ‘I love you,’ every now and then?” He laughed. Not so much in a dating sense either. He definitely told his old friends while drunk how much he loved and appreciated them. The waitstaff started bringing out the food they ordered earlier. Including Robbie’s aforementioned lobster roll. “This is a thing of beauty. And we’re one step closer to the mystery cake." 

Vivian shook her head and laughed, “You know I suppose I haven’t gotten a chance to experience how fun it could be. You may need to show me at some point. You know for research.” Love wasn’t something she ran across often, a word that she rarely experienced at work or in her personal life. “You know now that I see it they actually don’t look that bad. Mystery cake though? Do you think your friends are up to something?”

“Are you able to just pour me a shot glass of rubbing alcohol? I’d like to sanitize every part of myself, including inside, so I was just gonna drink it. That’s safe, right?” Ale wandered up to the bar with a sour look on their face, wrinkling their nose and sliding onto the stool. They were still clad in just a tight pair of metallic shorts, hair mussed as if someone had been playing with it only moments before. As he sat he pulled a sheer top over his torso, doing his best to not look as uncomfortable as he was; the way he almost always got after putting on a show, his confidence sucked out of him by a black hole of sorts. Sure, the money was good, but Ale always regretted agreeing to any kind of physical contact. It didn’t mean he was going to change it, because again, the money was good, but it definitely left him with a complex. “If you can’t let me ingest the cleaning supplies, then I’ll take a shot of whatever else is strong and burns when it goes down,” they added, offering Vivian a small smile.

[msvivianporter]

“How about a long island ice tea? It has a decent mix of alcohol and if I add a little more you’ll forget any worries.” Vivian already started to get all the drinks out to get it made. “I don’t think the boss would appreciate me giving those mixes out to people.” She finally took a moment though to take in their expression, causing her to raise on of her eyebrows. “Is there someone I have to give a stern talking to? Some of those people out there can get so damn obnoxious. You’d think they’d catch subtle hints.” She ranted, experiencing her fair share of nights that left her wanting more than just a few drinks.

“Come on man, I’ll have the money tomorrow just…please.” It was no use though because he had already over used every ounce of credit he had in him with all the dealers he knew in town. He shuffled away defeated and turned to see a familiar face behind him. “Oh for fucks sake. The last thing I need is anyone else to reprimand me for poor life choices so just, save it.” He shook his head and tried to push past them. Liam was obviously high and not his usual self because his head was so clouded trying to fill a void that was never gonna be found.

[msvivianporter]

 Vivian was driving a coworker home one day on her bike. Even if she didn’t have patience for a lot of people in the world, but she had some for the people she worked with. Their safety meant something to her. Her eyebrows rose though when she saw Liam, the situation itself seemed a little concerning. “Okay what you’re not going to do is try to move me out of the way.” Her voice still casual, “I’d say don’t be stupid but instead I’ll just say I didn’t hear shit and its none of my business. But you should probably get out of this area, its not a good one to stick around in. Need a ride?”

Where: Starbucks Pike Place Market

Who: open to all @seattlehqs-starters​

Aksel was in a suit. He hated suits unless they were brightly coloured or had a gothic appeal to them Today it was a simple, grey, slightly over sized, suit. He looked like he had just fallen out of law school. The truth was he had been at meetings all morning with his team. The management and agent had been present along with his P.R team when he told them that he and Matt were looking into adopting. They had all sat and talked then when the meeting ended, Aksel was left with a lot to think about. 

Instead of heading home, he was in desperate need of coffee. strong coffee to clear his head. He walked into Starbucks and waited in the queue and saw someone he knew. “ Hey how's things?” He asked with a friendly smile then looked down at the suit he was wearing. “ I know… this is an awful suit.”

[msvivianporter]

Sometimes before a shift she’d like to spoil herself to get some coffee. Normally she’d make a pot at home or at work but other times she liked to get something nicer. In a way it was her guilty pleasure. When she was younger she’d remember how she thought it was “basic” to enjoy it but she has quickly warmed up to this location since moving here.  While she considered what she wanted to get she glanced over and saw Aksel. Raising an eyebrow at the suit he was wearing, giving him a small smile and nod. “Getting ready for a long evening of work. Living the dream you know.” The last part she teased, “Looks like you’re having a more interesting day than I am though. What was the occasion if I can ask?”

Hana really enjoyed cooking. It’s one of the things she and Eva bonded over immediately and while she was new to Italian cooking all those years ago she’d learned a thing or two since then. “People bash on cauliflower bites but lemme tell you I could eat them for days. I can make some good soups! I make an amazing chicken noodle soup for starters. I’ve got a bunch of recipes floating in my head. I learned to do a lot with a little.” If she hadn’t decided on dinner already she’d make the fish tacos instead. Eva wouldn’t like the spice but she knew how to work around that too. “Not sure how I’m gonna get away with making those tacos with two nosy cats though.” Hana shook her head. “I love them but have some food that they want and it’s over.”  

“Damn, look at you go. I thought I knew how to make some dishes but obviously I’m behind.” Vivian always liked to be independent and one of the ways to do that  for herself was being able to cook. Even if she didn’t think she was the best at it she felt like it was something she’d need to do. “It seems like I’d want to be trying a lot more than the wings at this rate. I can’t say I’ve ever had those cauliflower bites before.” But she never turned down a chance to try something new. She chuckled a little at her story, “Seems like you’d need a distraction for them. Give them something that they think is amazing so they won’t be thinking about what you’re doing. But I’m sure cats are much more clever than that.”

“I’ve been in situations where alcohol definitely did the talking. On my end and on the other person’s end. But overall I think it varies person to person.” He could handle his alcohol and most of the time no disasters came flying out of his mouth. Had he confessed his “love” for someone while drunk? Yes. Most of those confessions he was able to look back on and laugh. A few he regretted. “I’ve remembered the more cringier moments where I said silly things whole drunk. Not my finer moments. But that’s part of finding your limits I think.”

“I agree completely, it also depends on what kind of night you want to have. Some people just come out and don’t care what happens while others like to be aware. I’ve been on both sides.” Vivian remembers the nights when she was younger when she had no care in the world. Sometimes she still longs and indulges in nights like those still. “The cringy moments are amusing as hell though, maybe not to look back on but for people watching. That is one part of my job that is incredibly amusing. I suppose I can see if you’re going for a night out not wanting to restrict yourself. As long as you’re not harming others right?”

Ben: Do they? I've only hooked up with women, so maybe that's part of it because maybe they're more honest, but it's only been a good experience for me.

Ben: For all the daredevil shit I used to pull, surprisingly no. I'm always down to learn new things, though.

Vivian: You'd be quite surprised the shit guys pull. Makes the decent ones stand out though.

Vivian: Daredevil stuff huh? Do tell. I do enjoy a person who likes to have some fun.

Vivian: I've been told I can be quite the teacher.

Ben: Touching is believing in that case.

Ben: Came for the bike. Stayed for your face.

Vivian: Very interesting. It'll have to be because a lot of people hype themselves up on here.

Vivian: The photos barely do me or the bike justice. Do you know how to ride?

📱: Ben⇄ Vivian

Ben: If you tell me why you swiped on me, I'll tell you why I swiped on you.

Vivian: The mention of abs and bourbon caught my eye, the fact that you're good looking is an extra bonus.

Vivian: A little disappointed that the abs weren't included on the photos, makes me wonder if they are even real.

“I can handle my alcohol. I also don’t drink to get wasted. Does that make sense?” He decided to switch from shots to cocktails. Couldn’t exactly converse with someone while slurring words. “I do enjoy a good drunk conversation. I’ve been in stitches from laughing or unfathomably confused.” With that he found a new topic to bring up. “The whole ‘drunk words are sober thoughts,’ agree or disagree?" 

“Makes perfect sense, it is a trait everyone has though. The fact that it is possible to still be aware after a few drinks. Seems like a crazy concept to others.” She shook her head and moved on, not letting the customers bug her off the clock. “That is true those are pretty damn amusing, you’d be surprised the stories you’d get at my job. Especially when they think they are charming too.” Vivian thought for a moment, “To a degree yes, I think it depends on what kind of drunk they are. Because some are just honest and some you can just tell want to say things to get a reaction. What do you think?’
