“I wasn’t going to comment on you not getting me a dri-..” Billy stopped, finally having turned his head to look at the other and finding himself staring. It was like looking into a mirror kind of, somethings were obviously different about the others appearance, but the resemblance was… uncanny. “Woah. ”

“Is it just me or... do we have the exact same face?” Tucker blinked back at the other when he realized why he had paused mid-sentence. “Is this the day I find out I have a long lost twin brother or something?”

‘‘Oh..’‘ Ben replied with a sigh and shake of his head. ‘’Do I still tip you from my last drinks?’’ He asked the man taking out some money he had in his pockets. ‘’I just want one more before i go home for the night. Early morning at the shop.’’ 

“You don’t have to,” he insisted with a smile. “Hmm one more, huh? I guess I could make the exception,” Tucker ended up shrugging, finishing his drink and getting up to stand behind the bar. “What can I get you?”

“Get you back?” She asked, blinking at him. “I don’t know how I would do that.”

“Are you telling me you’ve never pulled a prank before?”

“Okay, fine, but this is the last one before I cut you off,” Allison told him.

“Cut me off?” he raised his eyebrows this time, “I’d watch it, pidge. I can do the same to you when I’m behind the bar,” Tucker threatened with an amused chuckle. “Besides, this is literally my second drink of the night. Are you implying that I don’t know how to hold my liquor?”

“Well I am not sure I get the obsession many have with it.” She confessed when the bartender explained that it was something some people did almost every single night. There was a pause when he called her ‘fresh meat’ and questioned if she had ever been in a bar before and Liliana let out a small huffed sound before answering. “I have not, though if this is anything to go by, I have not been missing out. And why would you call someone pigeon? Or any variation of the word? Is this your attempt at making the term ‘bird’ sound more acceptable or cleverer?” She put to the man, humming her way down the list. She hadn’t been intending to drink but something about the other male ruffled her feathers and she pointed to the menu with one perfectly manicured fingernail. “I’ll take a paloma, thank you.”

“And why not pigeon?” he countered with a little waggle of his eyebrows. “People get called worse things on the daily, so I don’t see who I’m hurting with ‘pigeon’,” Tucker justified with a little shrug. He watched in amusement as she went along the list. “A paloma? Alright, coming right up. I’ll just need to see your ID first,” he replied simply.

Aziraphale sighed, not even sure if he really wanted to share his work. But the young man seemed eager and nice enough, so Aziraphale thought it was only courteous to let him in on it. “It’s about the end of the world and two men trying to save it, but one is on the good side and one is on the bad. Despite them working together, they very much root for their own team. But everything just seems…ineffable.” Aziraphale pouted. “I’m sorry young man, I’m sure this was the last conversation you wanted to get into this afternoon.”

“Interesting,” he hummed thoughtfully. “Do they question their own values along the way? Like the man on the good side doing bad and vice versa? So they each get a taste of what the other side is like?” Tucker mused. “Hey– don’t apologize. This is cool plus I’m the one who asked you to elaborate.”

“Alright.” Leia agreed while her mind raced to figure out what to do next. “How about a slice of pizza on me and you tell me what the heck was going on. I’m a lawyer, I do this kind of thing for a living.” She explained, handing him her card in the hope that he might trust her. “My name is Leia.”

“Am I really that predictable?” he chuckled when she offered him free pizza in exchange for an explanation. “Alright, sounds like a plan to me,” Tucker shrugged, naturally pretty easy-going and honestly probably would’ve gone along with her even without the pizza. He was always game for a new adventure. “Nice to meet you Leia, I’m Tucker.”

[tuckerxwest]

“Hey– hey,” Tucker raised a hand up in defense, the other holding his drink. “I’m not technically on the job right now so I have every right to be enjoying a drink. If you want to order another tonight I’m not your guy,” he added with a chuckle. “Let a guy live a little.”

Leia huffed and quirked a disapproving eyebrow at the person before her. “Listen, I just want to help. So you can either follow me or you can wallow here alone. Your choice, but I don’t have all night.”

“Sorta sounds like a bad idea, sorta sounds like it’ll be loads of fun,” Tucker weighed out the options audibly before nodding with a grin. He had come to a decision. “Alright I’m game. Lead the way, pidge.”

Victoire rolled her eyes and pulled her finger away. “Well you tricked me.”

“Hey don’t beat yourself up about it,” he insisted. “Now this just means you have the right to get me back.”

Aziraphale sighed and nodded, though the look on his face couldn’t have convinced anyone. “Oh yes, I’m fine, I’m fine. I just…I just hope this book turns out the way I hope.” What he meant was that he hoped his friend was okay, but that was far too long a story to be sharing with a stranger. “Do you ever just root for something or someone so much that it scares you to think that they might not succeed?”

“Book?” his ears seemed to perk up with curiosity. “You’re a writer? What’s it about?” Tucker asked a lot of questions but it was never meant to be invasive. “I can’t say I quite know what you’re talking about. I mainly aim for the bare minimum and slide by that way,” he admitted with a shrug although what the man had said had resonated with him and an element of his past. His parents. They looks on their faces when he didn’t have the grades to graduate. They probably had been feeling exactly the way the man was describing right then, only he had been the one who didn’t succeed. “There’s no use in thinking your book will fail if you haven’t finished it yet. Little presumptuous of you to think it’ll flop, no? Give it a chance.”

“Apparently you are psychic. That’s exactly where we are going later.” Liliana answered, looking to see who had been talking. “And I’d come out just fine thank you very much.” She added a moment later, tapping her fingernails lightly on the surface as she attempted to relax a little in the environment. The others words brought her attention back to the male and off her thoughts, causing a soft hum to escape her lips. “Pidge?” She repeated, though she gave him a look at his words. “I can be spontaneous. I’m just… not someone who frequents bars.”

“No I simply know from experience,” he insisted, gesturing to the bar and the general atmosphere, “I’m around people doing the exact same thing almost every single night. I think I’ve got the gist of it by now,” Tucker pointed out. “Are you sure? Have you ever been to a bar or a night club before? Because you seem like fresh meat to me,” he said her before she seemed to answer his question for him. “Pidge. Or do you prefer the more formal version ‘pigeon’? I’m fine with either. I also like calling people ‘kid’ too if you’d like. Seems like it’d fit you,” Tucker continued to tease, finding great amusement in it. “Alright little miss spontaneous, what will you be having?”

This had been her friends idea coming in the bar. It wasn’t exactly her choice of venue but her friend had been so excited, especially since she’d procured Liliana ID to use. The girl had ordered her drink and was off… she didn’t even know where right now, leaving Liliana to her own devices. “Oh, I can completely see the fascination with bars now.” Liliana spoke with a sigh, half wishing she’d stayed back at home and worked on her reading list instead of being stood awkwardly by the bar.

Tucker was mixing up a customer’s drink when he overheard a group of girls that was approaching the side of the bar. One seemed particularly discontent with where she was. “Make sure your friends never take you to a night club then– I don’t think you’d come out alive,” he teased, finishing up and serving the cocktail to the young man who had ordered it. Tucker moved his way over to the girls to take their orders. “What should I get you then, pidge? How about a nice tall glass of spontaneity?”

[tuckerxwest]

“Everything will work out…won’t it? Good always wins over evil in the end, that’s how stories work…right?” The angel asked as he looked down to focus on his fidgeting fingers.

“You sound like you’re trying to convince yourself more than you’re trying to convince me,” Tucker observed, looking to the other curiously. “Everything alright, bud?”

[tuckerxwest]

“Sorry- What was the point of this?” The girl asked, her accent some mix of french and english.

“Well for starters I didn’t think you’d actually do it– so the simple answer is that there was no point to this. Just a little experiment that sprouted from boredom.”

Look, there’s a great big hunk of world down there with no fence around it. Where two dogs can find adventure and excitement. And beyond those distant hills, who knows what wonderful experiences? And it’s all ours for the taking, Pidge. It’s all ours.
