Siren Song (All Might x Reader)

Chapter 18: The Bar

As the party raged on, and with your friends nowhere in sight, you slid onto a barstool. A drink would occupy you until Saffron came and found you. Plus, after your confrontation with Toshinori, you realized you were much too aggravated to have a good time. Alcohol could fix that right?

"What can I get you?" One of the bartenders asked, sliding up to you and wiping off a freshly washed glass.

"Uh..." You had no idea what to order, you realized. "A shot of something, I guess,"

"Alright, what kind?" They asked, pulling a small glass out from the bar. You looked to the wall behind them, which was covered in different bottles of who knows what. You stared blankly at it, then looked to them, hoping for help.

"Not much of a drinker, are you?" They smiled kindly, turning around and grabbing a bottle of something in a peculiarly shaped bottle. It looked almost exactly like an alien head, with big black eyes, green glass, and everything. You chuckled at the sight of it. "Have some Outer Space vodka, it's my personal favorite." They poured out some and slid the shot glass to you. You thanked them and looked at it skeptically, but drank it anyways. This shot went down much smoother than the first of the night, possibly because you were getting too drunk to care at this point or because you were just getting more practiced at it.

"What do you think?" The bartender asked, holding the weird bottle in their hands.

"It's... It's definitely alcohol!" You sputtered, shaking your head to clear the nasty feeling it left with you.

"Her next one is on me," a man said, sliding up into the stool next to you and giving you a bright smile. He was a friendly enough looking guy, neatly dressed and handsome. His dark hair was neatly trimmed  and his face was sculpted and handsome with a jawline that could cut diamonds.

"Oh, thank you. But I really don't know what I'm doing up here. I'm just waiting for a friend." You admitted, rubbing your own arms nervously.

"First time clubbing?" He asked, ordering a drink for you.

"Well... yeah. I'm not much of a drinker, but I'm with my friends right now. I don't know where they went. It's supposed to be girls night." You didn't know why you were admitting this, but you felt the words spill from your mouth before you could stop them.

"Your first girls night, eh? Sounds like fun. I hope you have a good time," He smiled, handing the bartender his card. The bartender slid what you assumed was another long island iced tea to you. You hesitated a moment before taking it. Toshinori had said not to leave your drink unattended... or to accept drinks from strangers... but the stranger had never touched it, right? Screw Toshinori. You were going to get fucked up whether he liked it or not.

"Thank you," You told the man, who now had a similar drink of his own.

"How bout I keep you company until your friends show up? I'd hate for you to be all on your lonesome." He cast you another charming smile. Was he flirting with you? He was definitely flirting with you. This had never happened to you before. You didn't exactly hate it, he was pretty handsome after all, but this was new territory. You weren't sure what to do.

"Oh... uh... yeah! That'd be nice!" You tried to give him a dazzling smile, batting your eyelashes as you took another sip of your drink.

"Alright, what's your name, sweetheart?"

"(Y/N)," You replied simply.

"What do you do for a living," He asked curiously, loosening his tie as he leaned back in his barstool.

It took you a split second to think about how to describe your job situation. Were you unemployed? Technically yes and technically no... but you figured unemployment sounded less than impressive to a guy like him so you pulled something out of thin air. "I'm actually interning at All Might's hero agency." It wasn't technically a lie, and his eyes lit up when you told him.
