Vien made a face at the mention of vegan food before standing. “Seafood?” he suggested with a shrug

“Hmm, yeah I could have seafood.” He slowly stood too, and looked at him.

“Do you want to order in or actually go to a seafood place?” Vien asked, a hand running through his messy dark hair

“I guess we could just place an order.” Vin didn’t want to be seen outside tonight. He hardly ever does.

“That works,” Vien said before walking over to the phone. He drummer his fingers against the counter absently before turning to Vin. “What do you want?”

“A pound of steamed shrimp. I’ll pay for it.”

“No, I’ve got it. You’ve payed me enough tonight,” Vien said, waving a hand dismissively before returning to the phone. He ordered the food quickly before hanging up. “Should be here in 15.”

“Okay, then. Thanks.” Vin felt somewhat relieved as he put his wallet back in his pocket.

“No problem. You spend enough at my bar,” Vien said with a small laugh. He set the phone back before going to sit on the couch again

Vin rolled his eyes and gave a short laugh too, and leaned back again.

Vien reached for the remote, beginning to flip through channels absently. He tapped his foot as he did so, not quite knowing what to do with himself

Vin crossed his legs and tucked them into himself, picking dirt out of his fingernails.

"So…What do you normally do besides spend the day at the bar?" Vien asked, trying his best to break the awkward silence. He wasn't the best at socialization, but he was trying

Vin shrugged and blew a faint raspberry. “Hang out with my dog. Watch TV. Otherwise, work.”

"What do you do for work?" Vien asked curiously, now resting his head in the palm of one hand. And Vin had a dog? He found himself suddenly wanting to see it

“I am a construction worker. I’m not working on anything at the moment, so that’s why I’ve had a lot of free time.”

"Construction?" Vien asked, now intrigued. "That's…oddly fitting for you. Explains your unreasonable amount of muscle," he said, grinning as he poked one of Vin's arms

Vin shrugged. “Yeah, I suppose, but there’s a lot of other men that I work with who are burlier than me.”

"Might have to show up to one of your jobs just to people watch," Vien joked, still grinning as he wiggled his eyebrows

Vin laughed and glanced at him. “I didn’t know you were into that type of stuff.” That didn’t really bother Vin much anyway.

"I'm surprised you haven't put two and two together yet," Vien chuckled. "I mean, you've never seen me chatting up a woman before, have you?"

“No, I have not, actually.” Vin felt rather surprised he didn’t notice that before. He glanced at him and nodded a little. “Good for you.”

"Congratulations, you now know that your bartender is gay," Vien said, now a little anxious as he sank back against the couch. He faintly hoped that Vin wouldn't think him strange, or…gross, or something like that

Vin didn’t care whatsoever. At least his bartender didn’t feminist warning wolfwistle at women who entered his bar. Vin smiled at him. “You know I don’t care, right? My cousin’s gay.”

Vien returned the smile with a small one of his own. "Really? That's…That's kind of cool," he said, a funny sort of happy feeling forming in his chest. It was nice when people actually didn't freak out on him when they figured out he was gay
