Happy Birthday to the old man duo. This is an extended version of The Promise so I hope you like. Also, does anyone have an idea what I should do for Sabo? His birthday is just around the corner.
Pinks, blues, purples, and some golden colors filled the sky. The sun was setting as the clouds reflected the colors of the sky. A few people of a small town took in the lights and colors. Especially a young man with his sideburns coming into a point on his jawline. His hair slicked back while he walked into the town. He walked into the bar and sat down in one of the barstools. He got a few snickers from a few men beside him since he was wearing a floral shirt. But a glare with his golden hawk eyes had then shut up pretty quick. He glanced back to the bartender who gulped handing him a whisky glass with some of the amber liquid inside. It was all quiet and calm until they showed up.
The door was pushed open as three men walked in. The few people the bar turned to them as they laughed. One of the three of them was clearly older. His hair was jet black and pulled back into a ponytail. The end of a cigarette bud was between his teeth. His arm was looped around a scarlet red haired man's neck. He wore a straw hat with a red ribbon wrapped around the base of the hat. The man wore a smile, that looked like he could woo any lady with it. Then the man to the end. He had dreads with a hue beaded necklace around his neck. They grinned to the many types of alcohol stocked against the wall. Some appeared to be foreign like they were imported from all over the world.
The man with golden Hawkeyes turned away back to the bar keeper ignoring the loud bunch. But it was all for vein because the red haired man sat beside him. Pushing back his straw hat to his back and turned to the hawk-eyed man. He crossed his arms leaning against the bar trying to get that man's attention. But his golden gaze never met his emerald green.
"Pardon me, but today is my friend's birthday. Is there anything special we can get him?" Benn asked.
The woman with peacock colored hair turned to them. She smiled pulling out a menu and handed it to him.
"You can pick anything on the special section. Or. You can pick the surprise bomb. Which is a mixture of flavors of alcohol, gummy candies, and a swirly straw." She said.
"I want that one."
"You want it because it has a swirly straw isn't it?" Yassop asked.
Shanks gasped turning to him, "I am appalled that you would think I. A twenty one year old adult. Picked an adult beverage because it has a kiddy swirly straw."
"So yes. That's why you picked it."
The man with golden eyes chuckled softly finishing his drink. Shanks turned to him with a soft smile finally getting his golden gaze.
"You must of just turned twenty one." He said.
Shanks grinned, "Well yeah it is my birthday and all."
"It's not just your birthday today."
Shanks blinked, "No way it's your birthday too?!"
"Unfortunately."
"I'm Shanks and these are my buddies Benn and Yassop."
"Mihawk."
Shanks turned to the lady putting down some money on the counter.
"Hey can you get one of those for my friend here. Today is also his birthday." Shanks said.
"Coming right up." She said.
Shanks grinned turning back to the man, he rested on the back of his hands. Mihawk cocked a brow to the scarlet haired man. He was taken by those deep emerald eyes. Sucking him into some trance, if Shanks asked something Mihawk could pour it out to him. But he turned away before getting caught in the strange red haired man's trap.
