Today had been a very long, and very aggravating day. All Ryan wanted to do was go out to a bar and get drunk; just to forget about the day. As soon as he was able to leave his base, he did, heading to the small town a mile down the road. He had decided to walk there today, knowing that he'd probably have too much to drink to drive himself back home.
Once arriving at the small dive bar, he walked in, the smell of old beer and cigarettes meeting his nose. Ryan sighed as he looked around. It wasn't the nicest looking bar, but it was the only one in town. At least there were people dancing in the back, and that made the place seem a little more lively. He took a seat at the bar and flagged down the bartender, ordering a whisky sour; which the bartender handed him remarkably quickly. Ryan sighed again, downed his drink, and ordered another. He was trying to get drunk enough to want to dance and not care enough to make a fool out of himself.
It was just a minute or two later that he would hear someone sit beside him. A lithe, curvy figure leaned on the counter, ordering a Shirley Temple and waiting patiently to receive the drink. Soon, however, a pair of golden amber eyes slid over to look at Ryan, gaze dragging up and down his form. "Hey there, sugah~" He greeted in a friendly manner, turning a little more towards the scout, crossing one long leg over the other and leaning his elbow on the counter. "Buy you a drink?"
Ryan turned his head to look at the other when he spoke, giving him a small smile. "Hey.. Sure why not?"
The man next to him intrigued Ryan. He seemed different.... Not in a bad way, but in a way he couldn't exactly put his finger on. Maybe it was his unique eye color or the fact the he ordered a shirley temple? Dispite that, Ryan was just happy to have some company other than his annoying teammates.
"Name's Ryan." He said, sticking his hand out to the other. "Thanks for tha drink."
The blonde smiled, flashing a pair of buck teeth and almost seeming to flutter his lashes.
"Daniel. An' ya welcome~"
He moved a dainty looking hand to shake Ryan's, his nails painted in bubblegum pink polish.
"So, what brings ya here? Tryin'a drown your troubles, or lookin' for a little company?" The blonde practically purred the words as Ryan's drink was brought over. Daniel thanked the bartender, though his gaze only left the other scout for a moment.
