for Hiro

The quiet bar Leo usually haunted was closed for remodeling. With Leo's luck, it would re-open as the latest zen hotspot--or other some such yuppie bullshit theme club. He'd have to find a new place to relax after work was through. The local cop hangouts were not an option, considering most of the people he worked with didn't like him. Respect and like were two different things, and while Leo had earned their respect, they still didn't like the little sonofabitch.

This watering hole was a few blocks down from his old one. He'd tried to go downtown instead of uptown, but really either way had its serious drawbacks. "Why don't everything stay the goddamn same?" He asked his beer, looking down into it. The bartender looked at him oddly, and Leo waved him off. The place had typical music, typical everything, and at least it wasn't trying to be anything it wasn't. That was a blessing these days. He sat there, looking tense for a man who was on his third beer.

Hiro was the type of man people noticed the moment he walked into a room. It was a little bit eerie how all eyes seemed to shift right to him the second he stepped foot into even the most crowdiest of places. And so was the case tonight. The moment he pushed the door of the bar open and stepped inside, a faint hush fell over the crowd and all eyes turned to him.

He was strange to look at. Oddly beautiful, especially for a man. He made a lot of people uncomfortable because of it, and that had always been the case, even before he was turned. He was slender and almost delicate looking, his features angular and Asian. But his lips were full. His cheekbones high. And despite his Asian appearance, his eyes were a disarming shade of blue. The way he dressed was neat, well put together, tailored nad flattering. Pin striped pants, black shoes. A white button up shirt with the first few buttons left unattended to, and the buttons of his cuffs left lazily undone. His sleeves were rolled up to his elbows. Tonight, his hair was dark but it always was changing.

But it was more than his appearance that kept people looking. It was his aura, just something about him that made him seem almost unreal. The way he moved, completely and strangely graceful made him look almost ghostlike. His pale skin certainly helped.

He made his way over to the bar where he had a seat, and ordered a drink. Not that he needed one. But he ordered anyway and waited for his drink as he turned his head to let his eyes flicker around the bar.

Being the kind of observant guy he was, Leo noticed the shift of the crowd just a beat before he was drawn into it too. The quiet was welcomed, until he saw what had caused it. One man? As the room got back to its bustle, Leo exhaled the breath he was holding, shifting in his seat, put off by the whole damn thing. His entire presence was irritated, especially when he found himself glancing down the row of normal people to catch a glimpse of that one beacon of 'something more.' Leo was only human, afrter all, and some long forgotten moth-like instinct forced him to be drawn to the guy.

When Leo's stomach growled, it took him away from the moment, and he grumbled at the passing tender. "Peanuts, pretzels, something?" Leo's steady diet of take-out chinese food, pizza, and beer nuts had left him a surprisingly good physique, lean with the look of someone expecting to have to run something down. When he noticed that the mysterious man had pretzels close to him on the counter, Leo was up and moved to sit next to him. He tried to make it look like he was just moving for the food--which he was--right? Sitting down with little grace, Leo's hand reached out to gather a handful of the snack, pretending to ignore the fact that at close range, the man was even more alluring.

	That shut him up for a second because the question was so valid he had no choice but to consider its true answer. After a couple moments, he pulled back the last swig of his fourth beer and shrugged. "I don't know. I guess people like you always end up causing me problems." Even if that answer was convoluted, it hung out between them like some form of confession. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Hiro lifted a hand up to his lips, his fingertips brushing against them in thought as he let his eyes flicker downwards. He watched Leo pull out his wallet and then he lifted his attention back up to the man's face. "Why do you say that?" he asked, arching a brow, "Are you in law enforcement?"

	The choice of words amused Leo and he finally broke into a smile, one that reached up into his dark, round eyes. "Then I could hardly charge you for that. You'll have to come up with a less illegal way of seeing me again if that's something you want." He hesitated a second. "Unless you're looking to avoid me, in which case, you're golden."

	The cop-instinct to jerk his hand away was overridden by the strong desire to be touched by this person. He dropped his eyes to watch the scrawl of the pen, revealing the kind of information that unlocked Hiro to him in a way. "All right. I guess it is." He put his wallet back into his pocket and searched for his keys, fumbling more than anything. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Hiro didn't say anything else after that, instead he simply sat back down and watched Leo with a faint smile. He liked Leo. He was interesting. Dark and broody and so many other things, Hiro was certain. And those things? Hiro wanted to find them all out, if he could. (Reply to this)(Parent)
