 Ian could only stare into Jamie's eyes. It took more than a minute for Ian to comprehend everything Jamie had just told him. He still loves me? What the heck? I thought he just liked...teasing me...and giving me a hard time...but now it's suddenly love? Ian shook his head and drank another shot of his vodka before meeting Jamie's intense stare again, "If everything you've said is true, then go ahead and kiss me right now. I don't care either way. If you don't, then I'll just blame it on the alcohol and we'll pretend that this conversation never happened. Simple as that."

 Karma quickly toasted his boss happily but that soon fell to disappointment when boss suddenly decided to run off. Probably to deal with the missing Miss Kyrin. Karma found himself to be a bit bored after boss took off. What was the use of coming to a bar and getting to know people when there was no one to "get to know"? Karma sulked quietly until Levi plopped down where Jaydin had sat. Karma threw an empty paper straw wrapper ball at Levi in a rather bored fashion, "I do not know. He said to continue without him present." Offering a shot glass to Levi and Xavier, Karma quietly smiled, "Want to join in? Karma is bored...."

Maddox looked up at Xavier and Levi as they sat down, glad that Xavier didn't seem to have too much alcohol running through his system just yet. Just as he had this thought though, Karma was offering the pair of tricksters a few drinks. I can't stop him now but maybe I can limit him? Before Xavier could accept the drink from Karma, Maddox placed a request, sounding more exasperated than anything else, "Please don't make yourself sick, Xavier." Maddox knew just as well as anyone else that there was very little probability that his younger brother paid him any mind, but at least this way, if Jaydn asked, Maddox could say that he had tried.
Before he could see whether or not [though most likely not] Xavier would adhere to his request, Maddox felt a small vibration in his pocket. Taking out his phone, he lost interest momentarily at what was going on around him as he responded to the new text that he recieved, a small shy smile playing at his lips.

"Levi is bored too." Levi mimicked Karma's speaking style, taking the shotglass and downing it in one steady movement. If nothing else could be said of the boy, he held his alcohol well, and it was unlikely that he was even beginning to feel the affects of his drinking yet. He took the straw wrapper and threw it back in the general direction of Karma's head, giggling a little to himself. "And here I was looking forward to meeting new people. Only people I've met thus far are a hot girl who isn't in either group, though she does like Flogging Mollys and thats always a plus, and some boy from Kyrin's group with blue eyes. So much for getting to know people." He found another straw wrapper, and launched this one at Karma as well.

Jamie sighed deep and emptied the glass down his throat. He looked at Ian, thought, sighed again, and took the back of the other man's head in both hands. He kissed him, violently, no love behind his motions, only the need for vindicating physical contact, and walked away. He left the bar, and ignored the cars parked waiting for them. He walked past those, shoving hands in his pockets, and dwelled on his actions. Who did he care for anymore, and who cared for him? Who would notice if he didn't come back? Who would care? Who would be happy, and who, if anyone, would be sad? If they found his corpse a week later self-mutilated in a ditch, what would they do with it? Jamie watched the ground as he walked, thought about Ian and Nori and anyone he had a nameless one night encouter with in-between. "I want a lover I don't have to love, I want a boy who's so drunk he doesn't talk. Where is the kid with the chemicals? I got a hunger and I can't seem to get full. I need a meaning I can memorize, the kind I have always seems to slip my mind..." he sang the familiar words quietly, under his breath. Chances were, he wouldn't be back at the mansion that night, or even perhaps the next. Jamie needed something to get his mind off everything he had been through since Ian had returned. Just when things were looking up, too, you ******** beautiful sadist.

 As was well known to Maddox, Xavier wouldn’t heed his warning, no matter how many times they would have saved him from trouble. But still the answer,”Sure Maddox.” fell from the youth’s lips. Taking up the proffered shot glass, he downed it, with a happy thanks to karma. Xavier ordered himself a drink, ‘something strong’ as he said to the waitress, and mulled over the actions that had gotten him slapped. He decided that figuring two men were a couple because they looked gay and were sitting close and speaking words that others couldn’t hear wasn’t a good idea. He then tried to place it in his mind for future reference that Ian slapped hard and kissing him hadn’t been a good idea either. When his drink came, he finally decided that he didn’t care. The stinging on his face was dull now and the world was good.
The liquid warmed his throat and stomach and the fruity taste of the orange juice that was vaguely mixed in, made it a fast drink. The first was gone in just minutes and Xay was beginning to look more and more excited as time went on. Talking quickly, Xavier began to reminisce to Levi about the last time they had gone on a mission and about how funny it was when Xay almost fallen off his motorcycle trying to get away. Sober, the story was slightly amusing, but intoxicated Xavier couldn’t stop laughing. While he talked, his hands seemed to be having a conversation of their own, as he moved them in wild motions to portray almost falling off a speeding vehicle.
After about twenty minutes or so, Xavier had drank enough to make his English lapse randomly into Japanese and make him giggle at things that were necessarily funny. At that point Xavier ordered himself again another drink, something softer this time. He had tuned out Maddox, so if his older brother was trying to get him to stop drinking, he didn’t notice. Ten more minutes passed and Xavier scooted his seat out, nearly hitting a passing waitress holding a heavily laden tray of drinks. Grabbing a glass of water and taking a long drink, Xavier stood and grinned widely as he wiped water from his mouth. This is for you Jay. He thought, raising his glass in a silent toast. He hadn’t forgotten about the punch that he had received to his jaw earlier that day and had every intention of getting back at Jaydn for it.
The teen then used his chair as a step stool to allow himself up on the table. He gave another sadistic grin to Maddox, but this time it was more playful and then he threw his arms in the air in a mock gesture of importance. Looking down on those at the table he called, “Attention! “Attention Coyotes!” It was a strain to understand Xavier as he talked. His voice was slightly slurred from the amount of alcohol that he had drunk and his accent lay heavy on his words. Occasionally he would lapse back into Japanese again, but as it was his goal to get back at Jaydn, he tried to keep to English as best as he could. ”My name-” He said, in a voice close to Jaydn’s own (if Jaydn were drunk). ”Is Jaydn!” He paused to laugh at his plot, “And I-” He paused again, but this time for effect, ”Am afraid of all things gay! That means you!” He pointed at Ian. ”Yes! I said it! I am afraid of you!” He then searched around the table, but didn’t see Nori, “And that-“ He tried to think of the words that Jaydn would use to describe Nori, but couldn’t think well enough at that point to remember the exact words in English.”That cross dressing freak of nature!” The words came from his mouth, but he didn’t believe them about Nori, he actually thought that Nori was a pretty fun guy.
Xavier carried on, ”And, as you all know, I have an ego, the size of a planet.” He cackled slightly as he raised up his arms again and pointed to each of those at the table, ”And I am your lord and master!!” Xavier drew looks from others in the bar, who were laughing lightly at the drunk teen’s tirade, but no one made any moves to stop him. Lowering his arms and sitting down on the table top, Xay took a long drink from his glass. Suddenly he mocked a pout, ”When I was a kid I carried around my favorite stuffed bear, Blinky, everywhere. He was soft.” He sniffed for effect and drank from the water glass again. ”When I was eight…Mommy took Blinky from me.” His mock sadness grew more and more apparent, ”Maddox said, ‘its okay Jaydn, Blinky just ran away.’ But Mommy said she threw him away.” He sniffed again,”I still cry about it.”
Xavier stood again, taking a shot up with him. Throwing back the shot, he continued to tell the group things about Jaydn’s past that he never would have told them himself. I’m totally doing Jay a favor. Xavier thought with a laugh.”When I was twelve I was reprimanded for looking at tasteless magazines with my pants down." He paused before saying, in an almost serious tone, ”And when I was fourteen I tried to drown my little brother.”

 Until Xavier's display of drunken storytelling, Miles gazed absent mindedly at the same flashing neon sign, with his drinking glass resting againt his temple. His glasses were resting atop his head, so the blurred lights made a fantastic display as the alcohol soaked in. He heard a faraway voice and thought that Jaydn might have come back without him noticing, but upon listening closer, it was in fact far too slurred and accented.
He pulled his glasses back down, readjusting his brain to reality and realizing that the new weight on the table was in fact Xavier. Miles, who was previously leaning onto the table, looked up now to see an extreme perspective on the drunken youth. He leaned back into his chair to stretch, but had to cover his mouth when he actually started deciphering what Xavier was talking about. No, he couldn't laugh. It was in bad taste, and probably wouldn't have been so funny if it weren't for the drinks he'd had till that point. Miles rubbed his eyes beneath his glasses and, with a uninvited smirk, tugged noticabley on Xavier's pant leg in a gesture for him to come down.

Ian sat on the bar stool not entirely shocked at Jamie's reaction. It was pretty normal for Jamie. Still, it hurt and Ian had wished that Jamie had stayed but of course he didn't. Jamie was always running away and it annoyed him. He's just a coward...He can never face me or anything straight on. I should have never come after him in the first place.
Picking up his glass to take another sip out of it, he suddenly noticed Xavier's drunken spew. Especially when Xavier had pointed at him and called him gay. Ian found this very offensive. Ian, in his mind, was bisexual. Ian wanted to plant another slap on the youth's face but decided againist it. He didn't have to put up with this kind of nonsense. He was so tired of following Jamie around and then having to take this kind of stuff from his own so called mafia members. Back at home, he would have never had to deal with such disgusting behavior. Sliding of his bar stool, he left the bar to go back the mansion. Ian was not impressed by Jaydn's nor Kyrin's mafia at all. Both were made out of nothing but snot nosed brats who had more problems in their own lives than the professional kind of attitude that was needed to run a real mafia. None of them are cut out for this kind of job. Ian mused. With or without Jamie, he'd deal with the consequences, maybe was time to go back home anyways.

Karma continued to pick up random straw wrappers and throw them a Levi. It was boring now that boss was gone. Levi's random talk about some girl and something called Flogging Mollys just confused him. Maybe it was some kind of...beer? Karma nodded understanding the last part of Levi's conversation. "Yes. So much for getting to know people. Boss and Miss Kyrin are gone now." He watched as the black haired kid that had sat at the bar leave when Xavier had started talking." And now Kyrin's mafia is no longer here."
Karma's boredom quickly left as Xavier continued his drunken ranting. He looked up at the youth and quietly laughed at some of the new facts about his boss. Who knew that Xavier was a loud drunk? Maybe, offering him a shot hadn't been such a good idea after all. At the same time, though, Karma was thankful that boss wasn't around or else he'd have Xavier's head for getting drunk and for saying such disrespectful things. It was probably a good idea to help the kid down and take him home before boss returned to the bar or else they'd all be in trouble. Especially Karma, who'd given the boy the first drink in the first place.

Maddox had continued a conversation on his cell phone via text messaging while everyone else around him became more comfortable with their drinks. Mid-message though, he became distracted by a sudden shift in the table he was leaning his elbows upon, glancing up to see Xavier seemingly teettering on spot. Upon recieving the decidedly suspicious grin from his younger brother, Maddox felt a familiar sense of dread reach into his gut. "Xavier, what are you doing?"
The youth seemed to not hear him, continuing to stand on the table and call out to the occupants of the bar. Maddox listened to what Xavier said, perhaps being the only person who fully understoof the teen's fractured speech, and couldn't stop himself from laughing, remembering these ridculous seemingly harmless tidbits of information about Jaydn. He knew he shouldn't have been laughing, that it probably wasn't the best reaction to Xavier's condescending rant, but it was just too funny to be serious with, especially since it was all fairly true. At Xavier's last comment though, Maddox quieted. That was information that could be dangerous. Standing, Maddox reached up, grabbing Xavier's arm and pulling him down, off of the table. Very seriously, Maddox said softly to Xavier, "Xavier, you know Jadyn didn't mean it. And I think you've had enough to drink." Maddox gave a small frown as he looked Xavier up and down, realizing how badly drunk Maddox had allowed his brother to become. Should have kept a closer eye on him. Jaydn's not gonna be happy.

Xavier swayed slightly when Miles tugged at his pants and smiled at the smirk that was visible on Miles’ lips. He laughed allowed, but did not come down. He had opened his mouth to go ahead and continue bashing his brother’s reputation, when Maddox pulled his off the table. Xavier’s weight came off the table and he leaned on his brother for a little support. Once down, Xavier plopped himself in a chair. Maddox’s statement, forced the laughter from Xavier’s face,”Didn’t mean it? Didn’t mean it? He tried to kill me!” Xavier glared at Maddox and snatched another shot from the table. Drinking from the small glass he looked around the table for a moment, before slumping back in his chair and near passing out. Xavier’s body had had enough and the amount of energy that he had exerted only made it worse. Closing his eyes, Xavier became quiet.

Charles had been drinking quietly from his beer when Xavier placed himself on top of the table. When the youth got up on it, Charles felt his fatherly instincts start to over ride the fact that Xavier, even as young as he was, out ranked him. But he isn’t even truly in this branch of Han’s mafia. He tried to tell himself. ”Xavier?” Charles said in something of a warning tone, but he had been ignored. After trying once more, Charles gave up and went back to his drink. Charles chuckled aloud at the things that Xavier had said about Jaydn, and wondered how many of the things he said were actually true. He sighed and leaned back. His laughter stopped when Xavier accused his Jaydn of trying to drown him. His brows knit together slightly, but when Maddox pulled his brother down and said something almost sternly to him in Japanese, Charles wondered if the last statement was the alcohol talking. Xavier’s reaction to Maddox seemed, to Charles, as if Maddox had just insulted him. I wish I knew what they were talking about. Shaking his head, Charles turned his attention to Miles. ”Do you have any extra?” He asked, gesturing to Miles’ cigarette. Charles wasn’t a frequent smoker, he just did it every once in a while to calm his nerves. Even though he knew that this was to be a relaxing night, he couldn’t keep his mind off of the work that he had piled up for he and his men the following day. Charles would never smoke in front of his children or wife, or any where around them, but around his co workers he found the behavior to be okay.

Slightly mulled by his drinking buzz, Miles looked at Charles for a minute to see if the large man was talking to him over the loud music. It seemed his bussiness partner had mutual feelings about the situation at this point. Browsing in his pocket for a moment, he pulled out a pack and a lighter, sliding them towards Charles apathetically.
Miles took off his glasses to rub his hand over his face, pushing his drink away from him. He was done for the night, and visualizing how nice it would be to rest his head on a pillow, instead of his arm on a bar table. "Well, tonight was a bit of a bust." he said sighing, but didn't mind if the others heard him. They had all been around him long enough to know a bit of his true nature. " Miss Kyrin's group, and even Jaydn, are gone now, so there's no reason to idle around anymore. " Ever the time-keeper, Miles didn't like any portion of his life not being constructive. "I figure we have the night off, so why don't you go back to your wife Charles? I'm sure Susannah would appreciate it."
Miles was fixing his posture and straightening his tie. He was getting bored, and with an out-of-control Xavier, it seemed about the time to leave soon. He put on his suit jacket, glancing over towards Maddox to make eye contact, but he seemed busy with his brother. The others looked a bit antsy as well, but Miles wasn't up for entertaining anybody.
There were quite a few people, mostly female, who were observing the arangement of suspicious and attractive people seated at the table. Miles wondered if the others noticed their staring.

Levi, finally getting over his spewl of laughter at Xavier's speech, sighed and ordered another round of shots for the table. He was bored. And after another scan of the room, the girl was gone. Well bollocks. He looked around the table, finding everyone else otherwise engaged in conversation, and huffed yet another sigh. It was never really a good thing when Levi got this bored, and plots to entertain himself were already running the gamut of his mind. Mulling over how much trouble he could get for the better of his plans, he rolled most of the straw wrappers scattered across the table into one big, white paper ball, he flicked this one at Karma. Revenge.

Charles slipped a cigarette out of the pack and let it rest lightly between his lips as he lifted the lighter to it. Lighting the cigarette, Charles drew in a long breath before letting it out again, a mist of smoke emitting from his lips. He handed Miles back his things, with a low thank you. A bust? He thought carefully as he took another drag, Yes, I suppose, but we all live together for now, so meeting properly will happen sometime. ”In due time.” He muttered to himself. He took the cigarette gingerly from his lips and took a drink from his beer. ”I suppose she would. I will stay with the rest though.” He looked around, having noticed the looks as well, ”We wouldn’t want any trouble here tonight.” His voice was low. With Xavier passed out on a chair, Charles didn’t worry about him, but it looked as though Levi was getting a little bored. Bored for that one is no good. He leaned close enough to place a hand on the younger man’s shoulder and said, ”You know, Levi, after Xavier’s little act, we don’t need more attention to use. Can I interest you in another drink and some conversation to contain your attention?”
