Albus enjoyed his time bartending when he wasn't auditioning for a show. He got to play a character and he got to meet great people. It was a job that he thought everyone should have at least once in their life. It was an exciting lifestyle and he got to flirt with lots of boys every night. It was great.

Only tonight, it was one of the slower nights and there weren't a lot of people around. There were some showtunes playing in the background that he was singing along to, but other than that, there really wasn't anything going on. He looked up when a boy walked in, looking very unsure of himself. The other boy was actually kind of adorable.

He waited until the boy approached the bar, which was several minutes after he'd come in and stood in a corner, then smiled at him. "Hello, babe. What can I get you to drink?" He gave him his best charming smile.

Scorpius felt nervous. He had just discovered that he was gay and he thought this was a good place to start, but he felt so... intimidated. There was loud music playing that he didn't recognize and men dancing to it. And now a very attractive bartender was calling him babe. He hesitated. Why did he have to be gay. "I.. I don't know." He told him. "What do you have?"

This was too adorable. Albus gave the boy a menu and looked him over. "I can make you anything you want. I promise." He glanced at another person coming up for a drink. "I'll be back." He promised him, then walked over and filled the other person's order as quickly as he could, then slid back down to see if the boy wanted anything. "Decided?"

Scorpius looked down at the menu with all the weird names for drinks, then thought about what his grandfather liked to drink. "I think I'll just take some scotch." He told him, taking a seat at the bar. "I think that's good, right?" It wasn't too gay.

Albus laughed at that and shook his head. "I'll make you a real drink." He told him, then made him a drink that was much better than scotch. He gave it to him, then watched him take a sip, grinning. "You'll thank me later. No one here drinks scotch. This isn't a gentleman's club. It's a gay bar." He crossed his arms over his chest. "I'm Albus."

"I.." Scorpius liked the drink. He bit his bottom lip. "I'm Scorpius. Thank you. For the drink."

"You can make it up to me later." Albus promised him, then winked when his favourite song came on. "Excuse me." He ran to the stage and started to perform it with three other men, dancing and having a laugh.

"I was really reluctant to tell my own father at first." Albus admitted as he looked at Scorpius. "He was mad about it for a while, stopped talking to me. The whole thing. But, eventually, he decided he loved me and that I was his son."

Albus stared at Scorpius. "A boy as beautiful and handsome as you has never been snogged? That's tragic. There's a bar full of gay boys here."

	"I've kissed a girl before," Scorpius said, looking around the bar. He wasn't sure he knew what his type was. Just... someone who wasn't going to make fun of him for being new, he supposed. "I don't know if I should snog someone tonight." He looked up at Albus. "How long did it take him to come around? My parents really want me to have kids." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Why not snog someone tonight." Albus asked, looking Scorpius over. "It's your first night at a gay bar and there are plenty of different types of people. Surely you should find one of them attractive. Carpe Diem! Yolo! Tonight let's get some and live while we're young!"

Albus grinned at Scorpius and shrugged. "About a month or so of not talking to him at all. We live in a world where gay men can have children. I don't see why you being gay is a problem."

	"Well, I... I mean, I guess I could snog someone, but I'd have to find someone willing to snog me and I'm really new to all this." Scorpius looked around the bar. "It's scary. I think I need another drink." He looked at Albus and raised an eyebrow. "Did you say yolo? My family is a bit... old-fashioned. They'd think me being gay was absolutely scandalous."

	"You'll find someone to snog you. And if you don't find someone you find attractive by the end of the night, I'll snog you." Albus promised him, smiling. "Like I said. You're very handsome." He leaned against the bar and laughed. "I said a lot of different things, but yes. Yolo was one of them. Problem, bro?" He arched a brow. "You hatin' on my swag?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Scorpius laughed at that. He didn't want to have to go out and meet people. Albus was nice. But he'd feel a bit pathetic if he spent the whole night talking to him. Albus would end up thinking he was a sad baby gay. "Just making sure I heard right."

He leaned against the bar and looked around the restaurant again, smiling at Albus. "Do you see anyone you think is attractive?" he asked. "I don't know what my type is yet."

	"Someone I think is attractive?" Albus asked and then looked around. "Just you. I know all the other blokes over there and it would be weird for me to fancy them." He shrugged and poured Scorpius one more drink. Albus pressed it into his hands and smiled softly, then leaned in and brushed their lips together softly. "There. That's your jumping off point."

Scorpius liked being kissed by a boy and maybe he didn't want it to just be a jumping off point. Couldn't Albus just... take a fifteen minute break and go somewhere quiet to snog with him? Scorpius smiled at the other boy. "I like my jumping off point."

He took another sip of his drink, feeling very comfortable sat right where he was at the bar. Did he apologize for monopolizing Albus? He didn't want to.

	Albus smiled at Scorpius and glanced down at his watch. "You have fifteen minutes to find someone more attractive than me to snog." He informed him as he grabbed a rag to start wiping down the bar. "That's when I leave to go back to my flat." He tossed the rag into the bucket when he was done. "And if you haven't found anyone, I'm taking you home with me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Well that just... Scorpius wasn't sure if he should try or not. Should he look like he was trying? Maybe he should just stall. "Do you judge if they're more attractive than you, or do I?" he asked.

He gave the bar residents a once over. There were some cute boys in the bar. Ones who, like Albus, looked like they were trying, but not too hard. Was that a type? Scorpius liked that type. "I don't know. This is hard."

	Albus grinned at that and then glanced at his brother as he came in for his shift. "My brother is here to fill in. I have to go to the back and clean up before I can leave." He winked at him. "You have thirteen minutes now." He walked away, starting to clean up in the back. (Reply to this)(Parent)
