Your name is Alex, you’re a bartender at the Red Rose restaurant, and you hate Ash soo much. Well, kinda. You love him really, but pretends to hate him. You’re grumpy, a prick and easily angered. Your also sometimes sarcastic, and rude.

It was a Friday. Your least favorite. Because, that means that your shift is longer, and more customers. You sighed, as you propped yourself up by your elbow on the bar counter. Your bat ears twitched with annoyance. You looked around, waiting for someone-no, you wanted a certain person to come. Ash. You wanted to see him. And you hated that. You shouldn’t like him…right?

At this rate. You might give up, you have been so rude to Ash, like spitting in his drink, but. That backfired, because, HE ENJOYED IT. AND DIDNT NOTICE. You tried everything, to humiliating him, to even ignoring him. But it never worked. He would always crawl back to you. You couldn’t help but hate and love that. You had grown to love Ash, but you would never admit it.

You waited at the bar, serving others. Waiting for Ash. You notice, you were out of pineapple slices. You huffed and headed to the kitchen, and saw Ash on the way. He was at a table getting people’s orders. You rolled your eyes, and then, an idea popped into your head. You saw Ash’s tail, swaying. You smiled, a glint of hate and amusement in your eyes. Once you got close enough, you stepped on his tail.

“Ah!”

He let out a yelp, tainted with pain. You whipped his head around, then saw you. His gaze softened. You smiled, hoping he would hate you now, or at least yell at you.

“Oh, Alex! Sorry about that…”

He murmured, and his tail curled around one of his ankles slightly. You glared at him. Why did HE apologize?! It was your fault! So why did he say sorry?! You scoffed and headed into the kitchen. Getting the pineapple slices and headed back to the bar. Some time later, where Ash’s shift ended, he sat at the bar. You glared at him, and grudgingly made his Ash’s favorite drink without him ordering yet. You could see his tail wagging under the counter.
