a small yawn escaped his lips as he continued to walk down the street. he wasn't sure what he was doing out here. the bar scene was not his thing. why he had a fake id on him was beyond him. oh that's right, it was because of hachi. he was always up to something.
speaking of hachi, it was one of the reason's he was out here. they were suppose to meet up somewhere and ezra had found himself rather lost. it was fine, they were always playing hide and seek. he figured the boy would eventually give up on waiting for ezra and go home or he'd wait around.
his stomach began to growl and instead of heading back, he walked into a near by bar. it had been one hachi and him had scoped out. they had pretty good food. he figured he'd eat and get something to go for hachi.
he took a seat at the counter and ordered his burger and fries. while he waited he texted hachi where he was and what he was going to do.
Zachary found himself driving to the bar, one he was familiar with but wasn't all that sure if he would call it his favorite or not. Here was here for a drink, that was all, seeing as it was long over due. He ran out of wine in his car and wasn't ready to return home just yet, so here he was. He parked his car and got out, of course people were staring, he had a really pretty thing, plus he was rich. I sure hope no harm comes to my baby. He grabbed his sun glasses, putting them on before locking the car, which automatically closed the door.
Zachary made his way towards the bar, opening the door, making his way towards the counter and took a seat next to the brunette, that he'd later come to realize was named Ezra. He waved the bartender down, who in turn greeted him. "Welcome back Mr. Blaine." He would say to Zachary who'd find himself just smiling at him. "I'll have the regular." Zachary politely answered back. The bartender nodded, grabbing two wine bottles, opening the one before grabbing a glass and pouring it. He set the glass in front of Zachary, "Let me know if you want more." He answered, focusing once more on other customers.
Zachary felt like he was being favored, which wasn't necessarily a bad thing but in a room full of commoners. Well except the guy next to him, he reminded him of somebody but he couldn't put his finger on it. He lifted the glass to his lips, taking a sip of his wine as a thought dawned on him. He set the glass back on the counter, trying to figure out how he might go about asking this guy's prfession. "Pardon me... May I ask what your profession is?" He asked, hoping Ezra would tell him without any trouble.
while he waited for his burger to arrive ezra had ordered a soda. he wasn't about to get drunk without hachi. he'd kill him. besides he promised him food. he wasn't going to be too late. he was playing on his phone. so far he had evaded certain flirting gestures from the other customers.
he had paid no attention to the person sitting next to him. of course until they spoke to him. he sighed softly as he figured he'd have to let them down gently. he wasn't sure what it was about this guy. he had looked up when they had gotten his attention. ezra almost laughed at his question. the corners of his mouth turn into a smile.
he couldn't say and he wasn't about to stay he was a high school student either. he'd get kicked out of the bar so fast."if you're asking if im a whore, im afraid you're barking up the wrong tree. i'm not for sale."he said the smile still on his face."you're gonna have to look some where else for your uh, free ride, mister sunglasses."he said while he played with his phone once more.
Ezra had looked up from his phone, giving him an answered he hadn't expected. If he is, I doubt he'd tell him anyway. He decided to play off of Ezra's comment. He took another sip from his glass before making his comment to Ezra. "Ah, well in that case I'll have to be sure to find your master instead." He wasn't sure why he got the vibe from this guy, to him he just seemed like somebody not worth messing around with. Zachary noticed the bartender and waved him over, "Put his tab on mine, I'll cover it with or without his aporoval." Thankfully the bartender nodded his head and walked away.
"I'm not sunglasses guy, but for you. I'll let you have that nickname." He answered Ezra back. "Just so your aware, I wasn't flirting on you. I had a hunch and was hoping you'd confirm, but seeing as you came up with that sassy comment, I saw no harm in giving one back to see your reaction." He finished the wine in his glass and poured another one. Aww damn it, I forgot it was a bad idea to drink and drive. He decided he'd stay a little bit longer, no harm in finishing the one bottle and taking the other for later right?
ezra finished his drink and began to eat the ice. it seemed like the guy couldn't take a hint. that was the problem with the bar scene. most didn't know how to take no for an answer. ezra crushed the ice in his mouth."master. surely you are mistaken. i have no master. what year do you think this is."ezra said with a frown. he had touched a nerve."no one owns me. "he repeated once more.
he glared at the guy before turning his attention back to the glass. ezra had been to busy with his glass to hear his tab was getting taken care of."for me? is that suppose to mean something?"ezra said without looking at the guy."i doubt we'd ever meet again, mister sunglasses."ezra said a small smirk appearing on his lips.
"so you're not flirting, but you're letting me have that nickname."he said shaking his head."did the wine go to your head that fast. you're not making any sense."he teased as he looked around. who was this guy. seriously.
shaking his head once more. he popped another ice cube into his mouth and wondered how long they were going to take. he was considering taking his burger to go as well.
Zachary shrugged his shoulders, if his hunch was correct this guy was as stubborn as hell. He didn't care to push his buttons any further however. When he offered to pay the tab, he raised an eye brow at Ezra's question. "No." He answered, dead on serious. Ezra said they'd likely not meet again, "Not on purpose anyway." He corrected Ezra, the teen looked like he was still in high school, he did go school to school finding possible employers. "I'm not going to argue with you about it, that would be a waste of my time and yours." He paused before adding, "You won't find out." He took another sip from his glass, determined to watch Ezra over talking to him.
Maybe I'm wrong, but I can't just let it slid without knowing... But I don't care to do it right now. He slowly stood up from the chair, finishing his glass before setting it on the table to leave. "See you around, kid." He said bye, planning on finishing his alcohol in his car instead of being in the bar. He had a bottle that was almost empty in his right hand and a full bottle in his left hand. He pushed open the door, heading towards his car. He wasn't drunk but he was on the verge of being unable to drive.
ezra sighed softly and waved the bartender down. ordering another soda. he took a drink to avoid answering some of the guy's questions. why did he always get hit on by the weirdos. he couldn't help but roll his eyes."whatever, i don't care."ezra replied. so much for not answering back.
he watched as the guy slid away from the counter. it seemed like ezra had finally scared him off."let's not and say we did."ezra said before turning his attention back to his food. it seemed like his order was complete. he tried to pay, but the server mentioned something about it already being paid for. that was odd. it must of been him.
he grabbed the bag of food and made his way to the exit. hopefully the guy hadn't gotten too far. he looked around, but the guy was practically right in front of him."you know it's illegal to drink and drive."he said motioning towards the bottle the guy had in his hands."i have money. i could of paid for my own food. here."ezra dug into his pocket and pulled out some money, handing it to the blonde.
Zachary was glad he had left instead of making any further comment. He was in the middle of attempting to get his keys out of his pocket, holding a bottle in his hand and arm using his chest as supoort to keep it from falling out of his grip when the door to the bar open and Ezra had spoke. "What one doesn't know, won't harm anybody." He answered, getting the door to open he listened to Ezra speak as he shoved the bottles inside. He stood back up, looking at Ezra just to have money held out to him.
"Keep it." He refused to take Ezra's money, getting into his car he leaned againist his seat, rememnering that he had sunglasses on, he took them off and shoved them inside the glovebox to deal with later. "I'm not drunk yet, kid. Just close." And yet, he wanted to drink more wine directly from the bottle. "I would offer you a ride but I refuse to drag you into my mess, if your determined to believe I'm drunk anyway." Zachary pushed a button to allow his car door to close. He then placed the key in the engine to start the moter.
ezra stood and watched the man attempt to get into his car. he had come out here to return him his money. it was completely unnecessary for him to be paying for his food. he had money, he could of paid for it. of course he told the blonde haired male, but they didn't accept his payment. he'd return the money one way or another."i don't need you paying for my stuff."
ezra wasn't the type to take no for an answer. without thinking he walked around to the passengers side of the male's car and got inside. this was something ezra would normally do. something about this guy was seriously bugging him."yeah, well its still illegal to drive under the influence. i was planning on walking home. i don't want you running me over."ezra said with a frown."just because you say you're not drunk yet."ezra added.
it was a little to late for asking for a ride."what are you doing? wait let me out."he said as the doors of the car closed."i am not letting you drive while you're drunk."ezra said as he placed the food on the back seat. he bumped shoulders with mister sunglasses."move i'll drive."
Zachary just shrugged his shoulders, "It's nothing personal, but seeing as you thought me to be somebody I'm not, it seemed better just to make it up to you. If it's that big of a deal, pay for it before I get a chance next time." He answered, not really focused on what he was saying at this point. He made his comment to Ezra, then closed the door, having changed his mind about giving Ezra a ride home. He had a point, he didn't want to run him over and Ezra didn't want him running him over, but then Ezra wanted to switch spots with him. He wasn't sure on how he felt about Ezra driving his car. "So demanding!" He laughed, "Maybe I wasn't wrong after all." He decided to bring up the subject once more." I'll tell you what, you can drive if you say your name and profession. I'll go first." He paused, leaning back in the chair as he relaxed, at least the car was still in park. "My name is Zachary Blaine, I'm a Ceo... But you can call me Zach... Or sunglasses, I really don't care right this second." He really didn't care, not unless it was around family. "Your turn."
The air conditioner was on, but the temperature was between warm and cold, setting it at a fairly nice temperature. After a few minutes Zachary took the keys out of the engine. "You'll have to excuse me, I don't trust anybody alone with my baby." He pats the car before adding, "And your welcome to climb seats but I'd rather get out of the car, walk around and get in that way. I'm not climbing over or under you, nor will I be sharing the drivers seat." Witu those words, he pushed a button and the doors opened, then he got out and made his way to the passengers side, then sat down on the now empty seat. He pushed the button to close the doors before hesitantly handing the keys over to Ezra to drive.

leon glared at the blonde. he was sure getting a bit annoying."excuse for mistaking you as a paying costumer."he said with a bit of a smirk."i couldn't help it that that was the first thing i thought of when you asked me what my profession was."
it seemed like there was always something he needed to get out of him. ezra could of walked home. why was he doing this."just because you bought me dinner, doesn't mean you're gonna get a goodnight kiss."ezra smirked once more. he wasn't sure why he found it rather amusing to mess with this guy. maybe it had to do with the fact that the guy surprised him.
he wasn't expecting him to let ezra drive. most people would of kicked him out of the car. this guy, was handing him his keys. of course there was always a condition with him. maybe the wine really did go to his head. he kept quiet while zachary blaine introduced himself."no wonder you act...."ezra trailed off and rolled his eyes."ezra hattori, im a high school senior."
"i'll pass. i don't want you sitting on me."ezra said as zach got out of the car. ezra switched seats. after he got in ezra received the keys."should i drop you off first?"he said with a laugh as he started the car."seat belt princess."he said as he had his own already clipped. he didn't wait for zach to put his seat belt on. the car had already began to move.
Zachary had his reasons for asking Ezra but he wasn't about to flat out tell him. "Well anything can look bad with that attitude." Getting drunk took time on Zachary but he still drank enough to be unable to drive, so in the end he found himself grateful to get out of it. Zachary just smirked at Ezra, "Knowing you, you'd bite." Not something he cared to test out while drunk, or sober for that matter. Zachary zones out when Ezra had talked about how he acted but did notice Ezra's name and age. A high school senior was in a bar... Thankfully he wasn't drinking, or he didn't see him doing it anyway.
High scho senior... I guess my hunch was wrong after all. Once he was in the passengers seat, Ezra asked if he was to be dropped off first. "That would be like me giving up my car, hell no. But after you park it in my garage, I'll pay for your cab, unless your still determined to get home by yourself." Zachary had found out Ezra was underage, lingering much longer with him could give people the wrong idea. Ezra told him to buckle up but he was slow to do so, not in the mood to have it against his neck.
"High school student, and yet your in a bar. I admit, I thought you were older..." Zachary confessed, finally managing to get the seat belt to buckle. "I suppose I was wrong to assume you had a profession..." He started, "You just remind me of people who took the profession of body guard, but your to young for that." He finished speaking, at this point, he needed to remain calm but deep down he was freaking out on the inside on how young Ezra was. He rubbed his forehead in an attempt to make his headache go away.
ezra looked at him and smirked."whatever you say. i don't bite stray dogs."ezra said with an eye roll. he had started the car and took off before zac had his seat belt on. he was already running late. he hoped their food was still hot by the time he returned. he had no idea where or how far away zac lived.
"im not your personal driver. i'll park it where ever i want."ezra said matter of factly."besides you need to tell me where im going. or im just gonna head home and leave you here in your car."
ezra's eye twitched a bit at the mention of a bodyguard. sure he was a little young to be carrying a gun, but he had a permit and was well trained on how to use it. of course he wasn't carrying it with him. there were only certain places he would carry the armed weapon."what high schoolers can't have part time jobs."he said with a laugh."shut up you're drunk."
Zachary huffed when Ezra made his comment, "Sure you don't and who are you calling stray, I'm pure not bitten." The comment came out and it was to late to take it back. "I mean, born rich..." Ugh, there really is now way to fix this now. It's a good thing he thinks I'm drunk, maybe he'll over look it. He thought to himself, choosing to remain quiet instead of continuing the conversation. It was hard not to make further comment on Ezra not biting stray dogs, was that to say he did bite after all? Zachary signed when Ezra said he would park the car where ever the heck he wanted, "No, your park it in the garage.... or I'll drive myself home and you better home my car doesn't meet you." He answered back, not happy with the fact that Ezra wanted to park it where ever the hell he wanted. "Don't park it at your house.... I'll never be able to get that address out of my head if you do that." At least then Ezra would be able to keep the little bit of privacy he had left.
"Go uptown.... When we get closer I'll give extra directions. I'd hate to tell you right off the bat and you get us lost anyway." Zachary added, not minding how Ezra was driving. It was to bad that he didn't want to be a personal driver, Zachary might have considered hiring him. "That's to bad, as much as I love driving myself, you don't make a bad driver." He complimented, straightening himself in his seat. "I never said that..." Zachary corrected himself just to be told to shut up. "I just meant you." He clarified his answered. He regretted that answer as soon as he said it, "Nevermind..." He whispered, turning his head to look out the passenger window. "Make a right up there." He answered, choosing to give directions to his home instead of just talking about Ezra's age. I have to be careful what I say, the last thing I need is to possibly cause an unwanted fight.
ezra couldn't help but laugh. wait what did he just say? ezra assumed everyone was human unless otherwise mentioned. he never thought this would be the day. then again he didn't think much of it. after all the guy was drunk.
ezra shook his head."over my dead body, am i going to let some drunk guy drive. you trying to kill innocent people or what?"ezra chewed on his lip."im not that dumb. obviously i wouldn't park at my acutal place of residence. i don't need you stalking me."
"you already ask so many questions."ezra kept his attention on the road. turning when and where he was instructed."not like i would accept a job from you."ezra said in a haughty tone."why are you so interested in me?"he thought it rather weird. like he was trying to figure something out. he was glad they were heading to his house. if he was coming after hachi. he had to make sure he had no idea where they lived.
he knew hachi's father had enemies, but for the most part they had never attacked the family. they had left so abruptly before starting high shcool. you could never be sure with his father. he kept his secrets well hidden. he stayed quiet the rest of the way there. like promised he parked right in front of the house. he turned off the cars and handed him the keys. he made sure grabbed his food."go ahead and park it yourself."
