[THE BARTENDER @ScarsOfPride]

“Always happy to be on shift with you-” leaning over to press a kiss to larks cheek, because he can.

“just getting some air.” and it's an excuse to see him so, win win.

[✧ Lark ✧ @hxppyasalark]

“Someone’s happy tonight. Glad to be on the same shift as me, babes?” Lark checks an ID and lets a couple of patrons in the club.

“Whatcha doin’ outside?”

[THE BARTENDER @ScarsOfPride]

Ryan gave his best shot at a smile while his mind is reeling on why he'd acted like that, probably nothing. at least he tries convincing himself of that.

“That.. that sounds good to me.”

[✧ Lark ✧ @hxppyasalark]

Lark reaches out a tentative hand, placing it on Ryan’s shoulder. Looking into his eyes as best he could in the lights of the club.

“Let’s go outside, yah? I need some air.”

[THE BARTENDER @ScarsOfPride]

“I..” the music is loud around them, he takes a moment to, get himself together. he isn't sure what happened either.

“sorry, don't know what just happened.”

[✧ Lark ✧ @hxppyasalark]

“What? Why are you looking at me like that Ry?” Lark wasn’t sure what happened, one moment they were dancing and the next…

[THE BARTENDER @ScarsOfPride]

He's definitely still careful that if the dogs manage to get much of anything- that it's safe for them.

Maybe one day Ryan should try his hand at making dog treats for them.

[✧ Lark ✧ @hxppyasalark]

Their dogs were licking at the floor by Ryan’s feet.

They want to help too it seems.

[THE BARTENDER @ScarsOfPride]

Cuddled happily, warm.. why would he want to be anywhere else? Let alone get up?

“Probably..” mumbled out.. play a sick day? it is a very tempting thought..

[✧ Lark ✧ @hxppyasalark]

After a long moment, longer then he meant but he was falling in and out of sleep he mumbled.

“We don’t haveta get up tomorrow right?” They probably did. Maybe this would convince Ryan they shouldn’t.

[THE BARTENDER @ScarsOfPride]

“Happy to be ya heater.” he teases lightly, soft smile. “Can go whenever you want.”

It was true, it wouldn't take long for a chill to set in, neither of them want that; nor to risk getting sick.

[✧ Lark ✧ @hxppyasalark]

“Course you are~” he laughed. “You want to stay here or head back home?” Even if they were warm in each others arms it would only be a matter of time before they were cold again.

[THE BARTENDER @ScarsOfPride]

Soft chuckling, before he's peppering kisses in return, smiling like an idiot all the while.

Missing boyfriend hours goes both ways, whenever they're apart.

[✧ Lark ✧ @hxppyasalark]

Kiss kiss kisss kissss~

Whenever Ryan isn’t there is missing his boyfriend hours.

[THE BARTENDER @ScarsOfPride]

getting better at showing up for his therapy appointments.. one day at a time.

[THE BARTENDER @ScarsOfPride]

Mhm, definitely coming back to bed.

Staying, very much staying; cuddling comfortably into lark, happily trapped.

[✧ Lark ✧ @hxppyasalark]

But he’s coming back to bed now, right?

He better be staying because Lark’s arms are wrapping around him. He’s trapped now.

[THE BARTENDER @ScarsOfPride]

Eyes closed for a moment, simply enjoying having lark near.

“I trust you.” he starts, more than he trusts anyone. “You wanna cut my hair?”

[✧ Lark ✧ @hxppyasalark]

Lark hummed. A lazy smile remaining on his face.

“You go to a barber or-“ pulling lightly at some strands “you want me to give it a try.”

[THE BARTENDER @ScarsOfPride]

Hey, he's still helping — more so in a taste tester place but, Ryan doesn't mind that at all!

Better to be covered in crumbs than covered in flour.

[✧ Lark ✧ @hxppyasalark]

Lark’s been laying on the couch. He started out by helping, but couldn’t keep up.

He’s covered in crumbs.

[THE BARTENDER @ScarsOfPride]

He's been baking today; might've gone a little overboard, muffins, brownies; small cakes, breads.. cookies.

[THE BARTENDER @ScarsOfPride]

Breathes.

[THE BARTENDER @ScarsOfPride]

Only this time,

He seemed real tired, not sure if he was already asleep but he definitely wasn't far from it.

[✧ Lark ✧ @hxppyasalark]

Showered without him?

Was he already sleeping? He could’ve swore they got home at the same time…
