Wow, this one got a bit longer than I’d intended, but I fell in love with this boy a bit…
ok a lot more than a bit. The nsfw bit isn’t very long, just a paragraph. I hope you like it!! It’s number five in my list of 20 requests!_____________________
Not everyone who worked at or
went to the waterfront bar was non-human, but in this little seaside town, it
was a fair bet to assume that the person sitting next to you had some kind of
gift, ability, or alternate form. There were even two packs of werewolves in the area who – miraculously – got on with each other pretty well, and only had the
smallest bouts of jocular rivalry.The owner of The Cornucopia
was a satyr named Lea, and she was known for taking in strays of one sort or
another. She’d adopted you as a favourite patron a while back during a messy
breakup, and a few members of her staff were lost souls with nowhere else to
go.On a gusty October evening,
you pushed open the doors, hair wild from the salt spray in the air outside,
and smiled instantly. The atmosphere inside was always the same, and it soothed
you to see the regulars there too. As you approached the bar, you realised that
there was a new face, however, and wow if he wasn’t the most beautiful man
you’d ever seen.He was tall, perhaps just
north of six foot, but there was a shy set to his shoulders beneath the simple,
white t-shirt he was wearing, and he looked slim and perhaps even a little
haunted. His nut-brown hair was tied back in a scruffy bun, with a few sections
falling forwards into his eyes at the front, and his cheekbones caught the soft
light of the bar in a way that made your stomach tie itself in knots. As you
neared the bar and saw him more clearly, you saw that he had beautiful, dark
brown eyes, and a slight frown to his strong brows. And freckles.You licked your lips and ran
a hand through your sea-battered hair, shrugging out of your jacket. He was
busy wiping the bar countertop down, but he caught the movement and glanced up
apprehensively.
