Bastian walked alongside him, making his way towards the dancefloor with him. Eventually he pushed the door open, casting a quick glance at the bartender and various waiters and dancers already walking around. "Alright, you ready?"

Halo nods, chuckling. "I was born ready." He answers, kissing Bastian's cheek. "Let's rock this house."

Bastian chuckled softly at that. He led Halo over to the bar, and the bartender seemed to turn bright red and turn away when he did. He didn't seem to notice, or pretended not to as he led Halo through a pair of doors. Several waiters were running in and out, and several chefs were running around handing the waiters plates. He made his way over to a short, dark-skinned woman, who appeared to be the head chef. "Hey, Quarri. Got a new recruit for you," he said as he walked over to her

Halo bows slightly, "A pleasure, miss." he says, straightening. He flashes a small smile at the woman. "I'm ready to start." He says, clapping his hands together.

Quarri flashed him a wide smile. "Great! Got to love the guys who actually like their jobs," she said a bit excitedly. She looked around for a moment, apparently looking for something. Eventually she grabbed a large dish of what looked like a shrimp coctail. "So you can do the easy stuff today. If anyone asks, just tell them it's local shrimp and house cocktail sauce," she said before handing him the tray

"Yes ma'am!" He says happily. "See you later love." He hums, smiling at Bastian before heading out to work.

ohhhh what if a guy starts flirting with Halo and Bastian flips? It's just a suggestion//

(you read my mind my dude)

Bastian watched him go, smiling as he did so. He quickly snatched a small sandwich off a tray to snack on before walking out to the nightclub area. It was already beginning to fill up, a steady stream of people filing into the club area since it had finally opened

Halo happily starts to walk around, a bright smile on his face as he serves those at the bars, humming and laughing. He was actually rather enjoying himself.

What if it was one of the guys that used him? Then Bastian would really flip//

(oooooo, yes)

Bastian began walking around the nightclub, generally keeping to the outskirts of the main crowd. While he made sure no one was causing fights or getting too crazy, he made sure he knew where Halo was at all times. Call him protective, or even possessive, he just didn't want anything to happen to him

Halo hums, handing an already typsie woman her drink before starting when he almost bumps into someone. "Well well. If it isn't the precious little Angel~" A dark voice purrs. Halo glances up, his eyes widening in recognition and fear. His heart leaps into his throat. "Markus…" He mutters, smiling a little, it was a terrified smile. Markus chuckles. "I didn't expect you to be working here, precious." He smelled of cigarette smoke. "How about I take you back and give you the time of your life~ I'm sure you'd rather do that then serve these jackbirds that are drunk off their asses." He chuckles lowly. Halo gulps shaking his head, "I'll decline, thanks." Markus growls. "That wasn't an invitation. That was an order." Halo squeaks, his heart beating loudly.

Bastian had just turned away from looking at a couple guys getting a little physical across the dance floor when he saw the man talking to Halo. He did his best not to jump to conclusions. Really, he did. Though it only took all of two seconds before he was storming over the man confronting Halo while one hand went to where he usually kept a switchblade in his pocket. "Hey buddy, why don't you back the fuck up?" he hissed

Halo sees Bastian coming and gives a relieved sigh. Markus straightens and glances at Bastian. "Nothing, nothing. I was just talking to this precious little angel." He says, looking completely at ease. Halo gives Bastian a terrified glance. He was one that used me He mouths to the other, squeaking when Markus glared at him. Halo gulps softly, feeling a hand on his lower back, slowly trailing down. He was completely frozen. "B-bastian…" he mutters.

"You get your slimy fucking fingers off of him," Bastian hissed loudly, grabbing Markus' hand in an inhumanly strong grip and wrenching it away from him. "You touch him again and so help me god, I'll use your skull as a fucking hood ornament," he spat, his grip tightening enough to hear the protesting creak of the bones in Markus' hand beginning to bend

Markus hisses in pain, "Alright. Alright. I get it. He's your new pet." Halo whimpers at the name, watching Bastain with wide eyes. The poor baby was obviously trembling.

At that Bastian grabbed him by the wrist and slammed his face into a nearby table, twisting his arm behind his back as he watched blood trickle from Markus' nose. "He is not. A fucking. Pet," he hissed, his voice low and dangerous as his fingers twitched with the urge to snap the man in half

"Bastian." Halo sets a gentle hand on his arm. "Calm down." he says gently. He glances at Markus, who was panting and shaking. He watched Halo with narrowed eyes. Halo gulps softly, "There's no point in stooping down to their level." he says quietly, nervously glancing at the people around them. "Besides… you'll get fired if you take it to far, then how are you supposed to stay with me?" He whispers.

"Leon wouldn't fire me for beating some sick bastard to a pulp. I've done far worse than just a little bloody nose," Bastian spat, his grip on Markus tightening. He was enjoying watching him squirm. He deserved it for what he had done. But oh, it was so tempting to just wrap his hands around his throat and snap the bastard's neck

Halo looks towards Markus then towards Bastian. "Hey." He turns Bastians face towards him. "I'm okay now." He says softly. "Let him run with his tail between his legs." He gently runs his thumb across Bastian's cheek.

Bastian's grip on Markus relaxed ever so slightly at Halo's touch. He looked at him for a long moment before let out a slow sigh. He gave Markus' arm an extra twist before pulling him up and shoving him less than gracefully onto the floor. He looked over at one of the other security guards, who had made his way over to see what the commotion was. "Escort him out. I want him out of here and on the blacklist," he hissed

Markus yelps as he's thrown and groans softly, hissing curses. He shoots a glance at Halo, then Bastian before allowing himself to be removed from the bar. Halo releases a breath, falling to his knees, clutching his chest. He was shaking so hard, his breathing uneven. His wide eyes stare at nothing. That had scared him so much. He was grateful that Bastian had stepped in. He didn't know what he would do if Markus were still here.

Bastain almost immediately wrapped his arms around Halo when Markus was finally out the door. He held him tightly to his chest, almost as if he was afraid that he might lose him, or that he might get hurt. His grip was near suffocating, but he didn't seem to notice

Halo hugs back, shaking still. He didn't mind Bastian's tight grip. He just clung to Bastian, shaky sobs exiting his lips. He shuts his eyes and buries his head into Bastians chest, his breathing trembling as he clings to Bastian for dear life.

Bastian rubbed gently at his back, murmuring sweet nothings to Halo. He looked up, giving one of the security guards a sort of gesture before beginning to lead Halo off to the employees only section

Halo clutches to Bastian as they start walking, he was a trembling mess, silent tears running down his face. He sobs softly once they were out of sight.
