“Y/n look! It’s the short guy again! But... hey! Where’s his friend?”

- “I don’t know, Cara, It’s not like I know him”

As Cara said, he was alone, and wasn’t his cheerful self as usual, what could happen to him? He seemed down...

“You should go and talk to him!” Said Cara cheerfully.

“What? No! You’re crazy, besides, I just took his order”

“What did he ordered?”

“Negroni...”

“Isn’t it the bittersweet, pure alcohol one?

“It is, how come you haven’t memorized all the drinks?”

“I’m only a waitress, you’re the bartender here, so...”

“Yeah I guess...”

“Well anyways if you don’t go to talk to him, I will!” Said Cara as she walked away.

“Wait! Cara, como here!” Shoot... thought y/n.

…

“He wants to talk to you, your Negroni was exquisite, he wants more”

…

“...you know, it’s like when you drink Negroni, you have the sweetness of the Vermouth and the orange, but at the same time you feel all the bitterness of the Campari, and the aftermath, if you drink too much, when you wake up you feel awful, that’s exactly how I feel right now, and I know that I would feel the pain tomorrow...”

He was in pain, it could be heard in his voice, but he was, at the same time happy for his friend, he couldn’t be selfish, he had to deal with it, but now, he wasn’t alone, his “guardian angel”, a young girl that was also dealing with stuff, appeared the day he needed her, and without knowing she needed him too.

“I’ve heard of it... I don’t really know”

“You don’t know?” Said the boy incredulous.

“I only make drinks, I don’t drink”

…

Y/n is a pretty young girl, always silent, unless she feels confident with the situation/person, she was very observant, and talented for all stuff, she has average height, she is beautiful from inside and outside, her mom was a Japanese model, and his dad Italian chef, who loved French cuisine, especially desserts, but now she was back in Milan, where she was born, living with his dad’s sister and his alcoholic husband, along side their 2 daughters, Margot and Alessandra, who were a lot younger than her, they loved her as a part of their family, but still she had a void in her, her family was no longer with her.

You can find it on instagram, but the account archived all the old art for some reason:( anyways go follow it, the art is awesome.

Clarifying: I did some research about the beverages to find one that’s bittersweet, and Negroni was the closest I found that’s also Italian.

“Ciao, Cara!”, Y/n said to her friend in a tired tone, as she entered to the kitchen of the bar, “Buon pomeriggio Y/n!” Cara cheerfully greeted back, “I’m sorry, I overslept...”, said Y/n while yawning, “What do you mean, you ‘overslept’, it’s almost 5:00 pm!, how can you be sleeping during the day?” asked Cara to her listless friend, “It’s always a good moment to take a nap, besides I can be awake during the shift” replied Y/n.

A few hours and drinks passed, it was almost time for her shift to end, and a short guy entered, “Y/n! It’s yours! I’m getting refills for table 6!” ‘Shoot’ thought Y/n, she was the bartender but due to the excess amount of customers, she had to attend tables too.

“Buona sera signore, may I take your order?” asked Y/n in a bored mood, “May I get a Negroni, please” said the guy, with a low voice, “Anything else?” “Just that” “‘K I’ll be right back”

Y/n went to the bar, and seconds later Cara was with her, “hey, isn’t him the short guy that always comes with a big dude, with long hair and glasses?” asked the short haired girl, “he is, but he seems down, did they fought? He ordered a pretty strong drink, is he ok?” answered Y/n, “aww little Y/nie is worried” “Shut it! I’m just curious” said Y/n with a deadpan, “Go ask him!” “What! No way!” answered Y/n in disbelief, “well, I’ll go then!” said Cara grabbing the negroni and walking to the table where he was seating, a few minutes later she was back “N/n\~ he wants to talk to you” said Cara with a playfull smirk, “what for? What did you said to him!” asked y/n kinda worried, “nothing! He just said that your Negroni was soo good, he wants more” said Cara smiling, “You definitely said something *sigh* anyways he is a costumer I have to attend” the (h/c) haired girl started to make the Negroni and brought it to the guy... “Here” said the girl placing the glass on the table, “thanks, uhm your friend said... that you were worried about me...” said the guy turning his gaze to you, his beautiful golden eyes hypnotized you, “I- uhm w-well that’s not a lie at all, you seemed... a bit down, that’s all” ‘why did I slutter, damn’, Y/n cursed herself, his gaze captivated her making her slutter plus the fact that her friend made her look like she had an interest in the boy already mentioned. He then hummed smiling, “well, uhm... do you mind joining me?” he asked shyly, “uhh- sure I guess, my shift is about to end, so I don’t see the matter” said the (h/l) girl with a bright smile kinda blushed for the unplanned interaction.

Y/n went back to the bar where Cara was looking pleased, “Seems like you’ve got a date!” said Cara mischievously smiling, “o-oh shut up!” Said the girl covering her face, Cara just giggled in response.

She sat in front of him and he spoke softly, “you decided to accept, huh?” “you invited me didn’t you?” “I did, but I never thought you’d accept...” “why not?” “Because you seem like you hated in here? I don’t know” he left out a giggle, “well that’s not a lie, you know?” she said smiling, “but I don’t really have an option” said the girl while her smile started to fade, they both noticed it, she shook her head trying to focus back, “anyways what’s your name?” said y/n, “Nishinoya Yū, it’s good to meet you, and you?” , “I’m L/n Y/n, nice to meet you too, what brings you here today? I mean, you’re alone, and kinda... down?” the girl asked curiously, “I- uhm, my friend, he...” his voice started to break, not knowing how to answer, “your friend?! Omg what happened to the big guy!? Is he ok?!” she interrupted him, “eh? No, no, another friend” “oh alright” “well, when we were back in high school, uhm we were both in second grade, we were part of the volleyball team, and our manager, Shimizu Kiyoko, was a true beauty, we were both so in love with her, she never cared tho, I guess she was just focusing on her studies, she is now marrying him, and uhm, I feel so happy for them don’t misunderstand me, he is my bro, my dude, my homie, my bestbroforever, he is happy, and I’m happy, but, still it hurts...” he took a zip of the Negroni, swallowing the knot in his throat, while y/n just looked at him with a soft smile, clearly not knowing what to say, “w-well, uhm, I can’t tell you that I understand what you’re going through, but I can imagine it, so that’s why the big guy isn’t here, huh” she said, “Asahi, yeah, he went to their wedding, anyways uhm, how did you noticed I wasn’t feeling good, I mean you’ve only seen me like 3 times... you’re pretty observant” he said and smirked, making you blush lightly “w-well I have to, since we’re mostly girls here, what if some creepy dude has bad intentions, you know, or if they have a knife or something”.

He just hummed in response and everything became silent, thoughts started flooding his head again, so she broke the silence, “and, what do you do for a living?” was the first thing to came to her mind, “u-uh im a fisher, and you? I-i mean besides this?” she giggled and answered “fisher, uh? Sounds interesting! I don’t do anything else beside this, I’m just a 21 bartender who doesn’t know what to do with her life” she said “21??? Girl and how do you do the best beverages I’ve ever tried??” he asked amazed by the girls skills “My... dad... taught me since I was 8 or something, I would be amazed by the bartenders in his restaurant and their skills, and I asked him, and he started to let me do them, at first we changed the liquors and alcohols with other stuff, in case I would ‘accidentally’ drink it, but then I started to help the bartenders and they gave me a few tips and tricks, then uh... I moved here and everything changed, the only thing that remains is working with beverages, but now I don’t enjoy it anymore, my perspective over alcohol has changed, now I see it as something... dangerous if its not used correctly” the girl now sounded scared, which made the boy worried... what has she been through?
