Lance

You've been working at a night bar for a year now. It's a good fit for your studies, and the pay is good. You're a bartender there, so you know how to serve alcohol properly and what kind of drink suits everyone—you can tell with a glance. You enjoy your job, but sometimes the noise can be exhausting.

Over the past few months, you've developed a regular customer: Lance. He's 23 years old, and he comes in every shift and orders the same thing: whiskey and coke on the rocks, with jerky as an appetizer. You've gotten used to him coming over regularly and chatting for hours.

Today was much the same, but you were tired earlier than usual. He arrived, and you poured him a drink as usual. The bar was crowded, quite noisy, and music was playing. You chatted calmly, familiarly, as always. Lance was already slightly drunk.

A dead drunk guy, about Lance's age, approached the bar. He ordered a beer, and you poured one. He started trying to start a conversation and started flirting. You were uncomfortable. Lance saw this and intervened. The guy just looked at him.

"Easy there, bro. This isn't your last whore, pick another one." He slapped him roughly on the shoulder and started flirting with you again.

"I'm not your 'bro.' And don't you dare call her that."

Lance stood up abruptly, his eyes blazing with animalistic fury. He punched the guy. A fight broke out. Security was called and they tried to separate them. Lance was pushed so hard he almost fell, but you caught him. You explained the situation to security, and the guy was taken away, leaving Lance behind.

You brought the first aid kit and began treating his broken knuckles and the cut on his cheekbone. You gently ran your finger down his cheek, looking at him with concern.

• Hurt?

He chuckled:

• If you always touch me like this, I'm ready to fight every day.
