“Ohh, I think I know which one you’re talking about. Sure! I’ve never had hookah before. Is it fun?”

Maurus snickered and shook his head. “I guess it is a weird day for a date, but oh well. A~nd, nope! I like ‘em taller.”

Maurus is full of surprises! Quite literally too. “I’m off Tuesdays and Sundays!”

“If you’re open to it being a date, then I am too! Even if it goes bad, at least we tried~.”

“I think I’m down for something like that~. You seem like a nice guy, after all.”

“Ohh… I love a man with secrets. Means I get to uncover them.” he flashed a grin.

Ca~sually sliding up to @silenceofteal.bsky.social and wrapping his arms around him from behind. “Darli~ng….”

“Oh? What job was that now?” he hummed, leaning against the bar island. He’s curious.

000

𑣲┆𝙈𝙖𝙪𝙧𝙪𝙨 𝘼𝙫𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙪𝙨 ˚.⋆ֹ @burgundytorridity.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

“Easy is good though, right? Besides, most people don’t like me at all finding out what you just did.” he laughed slightly.

000

𑣲┆𝙈𝙖𝙪𝙧𝙪𝙨 𝘼𝙫𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙪𝙨 ˚.⋆ֹ @burgundytorridity.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

“Oh? The~n, I’d be flattered!” Maurus isn’t sure how he managed that, but hey, he’ll take it!

000

𑣲┆𝙈𝙖𝙪𝙧𝙪𝙨 𝘼𝙫𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙪𝙨 ˚.⋆ֹ @burgundytorridity.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

“When last call happens in about an hour.” He gave a small nod of his head before flashing a crooked grin. “What, did I charm you so much to where you want to take me somewhere?” he joked.

000

𑣲┆𝙈𝙖𝙪𝙧𝙪𝙨 𝘼𝙫𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙪𝙨 ˚.⋆ֹ @burgundytorridity.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

“A~h… It doesn’t really matter, does it? I’m not some hardened criminal. It was only 2 weeks.” His smile turned a bit weary. “Besides, arrest records are public anyways.” Should he admit to that? Probably not.

000

𑣲┆𝙈𝙖𝙪𝙧𝙪𝙨 𝘼𝙫𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙪𝙨 ˚.⋆ֹ @burgundytorridity.bsky.social · 27/08/2026

“Ah, yeah. I’m glad it was only a short time…” Did Maurus learn his lesson? No, not really. Though, he learned to be better at what put him away in the first place. “Learned my lesson.” A small lie. He wants to appear normal.

000

𑣲┆𝙈𝙖𝙪𝙧𝙪𝙨 𝘼𝙫𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙪𝙨 ˚.⋆ֹ @burgundytorridity.bsky.social · 26/08/2026

“Already spent 2 weeks in jail once when I was younger, I don’t wanna repeat that.” Despite Maurus’ joking tone, he’s serious about having spent some time in jail.

000

𑣲┆𝙈𝙖𝙪𝙧𝙪𝙨 𝘼𝙫𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙪𝙨 ˚.⋆ֹ @burgundytorridity.bsky.social · 26/08/2026

“No~pe.” Maurus shook his head. “Oh well. Can’t do anything about it.”

000

𑣲┆𝙈𝙖𝙪𝙧𝙪𝙨 𝘼𝙫𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙪𝙨 ˚.⋆ֹ @burgundytorridity.bsky.social · 26/08/2026

“Pft. Yeah. People only care about me if they think they can score free alcohol for their parties.” He huffed out some air, his side swept bangs which covered his left eye momentarily lifting upwards before covering the eye again.

000

𑣲┆𝙈𝙖𝙪𝙧𝙪𝙨 𝘼𝙫𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙪𝙨 ˚.⋆ֹ @burgundytorridity.bsky.social · 26/08/2026

“Drink blood?” He repeated, raising a brow. “What are you, one of those vampire-lifestyle goths?” Despite the question, there’s no judgement in his tone.

000

𑣲┆𝙈𝙖𝙪𝙧𝙪𝙨 𝘼𝙫𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙪𝙨 ˚.⋆ֹ @burgundytorridity.bsky.social · 24/08/2026

“Well, you know how college kids can be… Especially drunk…” he shook his head with a sigh. “Doesn’t help that I don’t quite fit in at the nearby school either. Oh well. Can’t do too much about that, I guess.”

000

𑣲┆𝙈𝙖𝙪𝙧𝙪𝙨 𝘼𝙫𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙪𝙨 ˚.⋆ֹ @burgundytorridity.bsky.social · 24/08/2026

“Oh?” Maurus hummed softly. “How kind of you. I guess there really are good people out there, sometimes.” He doesn’t have a very good outlook on most people it seems.

000

𑣲┆𝙈𝙖𝙪𝙧𝙪𝙨 𝘼𝙫𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙪𝙨 ˚.⋆ֹ @burgundytorridity.bsky.social · 24/08/2026

And so, Maurus went to open up a mini fridge behind him at the bar island before sliding her the can. “Open tab or closed?”

000

𑣲┆𝙈𝙖𝙪𝙧𝙪𝙨 𝘼𝙫𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙪𝙨 ˚.⋆ֹ @burgundytorridity.bsky.social · 24/08/2026

“Oh? That’s a relief. Normally it’s the tall ones who act all high and mighty.” he teased lightly.

000

𑣲┆𝙈𝙖𝙪𝙧𝙪𝙨 𝘼𝙫𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙪𝙨 ˚.⋆ֹ @burgundytorridity.bsky.social · 23/08/2026

“A~h… Yeah… I agree with that. Especially when drunk. Thankfully, I can always just call security or something if I 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 needed to.” He gave Jericho an almost knowing look as he wagged a finger. “Don’t give me any problems, okay?”

000

𑣲┆𝙈𝙖𝙪𝙧𝙪𝙨 𝘼𝙫𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙪𝙨 ˚.⋆ֹ @burgundytorridity.bsky.social · 23/08/2026

“Marry rich, I guess.” he joked again, this time a small snort escaping him. “I think I have the looks.” Maurus shook his head, amused. “Just started about two weeks ago. I like it so far.”

000

𑣲┆𝙈𝙖𝙪𝙧𝙪𝙨 𝘼𝙫𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙪𝙨 ˚.⋆ֹ @burgundytorridity.bsky.social · 23/08/2026

“Huh…?” His brows furrowed a bit in confusion, but he smiled wearily. “It’s a bar that’s closing soon. You put two and two together on what last call would be.”

000

𑣲┆𝙈𝙖𝙪𝙧𝙪𝙨 𝘼𝙫𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙪𝙨 ˚.⋆ֹ @burgundytorridity.bsky.social · 23/08/2026

Maurus huffed out a small laugh. “Quite literally too,” he joked. “Well, I guess it doesn’t matter much. I’m not invested in career stuff— I think love is more important than that.” he shrugged as well.

000

𑣲┆𝙈𝙖𝙪𝙧𝙪𝙨 𝘼𝙫𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙪𝙨 ˚.⋆ֹ @burgundytorridity.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

“Thanks! I hope I do too! Haha… I’m not very passionate about cooking though… I’m not passionate about anything. I just hope I don’t waste money on the degree.” he shrugged.

000

𑣲┆𝙈𝙖𝙪𝙧𝙪𝙨 𝘼𝙫𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙪𝙨 ˚.⋆ֹ @burgundytorridity.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

Maurus’ smile twitched a bit, but he once more said nothing on it. He didn’t seem to like the comment, even if it was true enough. “Oh? I see. Kinda like me and culinary stuff. I major in that in college right now.”

000

𑣲┆𝙈𝙖𝙪𝙧𝙪𝙨 𝘼𝙫𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙪𝙨 ˚.⋆ֹ @burgundytorridity.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

“Ooh, someone in the arts technically! I see! Super cool.” He straightened his posture back up from once leaning against the counter. “I don’t see myself being a bartender as a full-time career, though I dunno what I wanna do after… Ah, I’m still young, I have time to figure it out.”

000

𑣲┆𝙈𝙖𝙪𝙧𝙪𝙨 𝘼𝙫𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙪𝙨 ˚.⋆ֹ @burgundytorridity.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

“W—well—!!” Ah. His face flushed a bit. He wasn’t expecting that. “That depends on how you want it to end, I guess!”

000

𑣲┆𝙈𝙖𝙪𝙧𝙪𝙨 𝘼𝙫𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙪𝙨 ˚.⋆ֹ @burgundytorridity.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

Maurus startled at the outburst, but relaxed and leaned against the bar island. “Well, congrats anyway!” He never was a sports person, so he never paid attention to the TV at the bar. “What do you do for work?”

000

𑣲┆𝙈𝙖𝙪𝙧𝙪𝙨 𝘼𝙫𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙪𝙨 ˚.⋆ֹ @burgundytorridity.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

Maurus’ smile turned a bit awkward as he was still being misunderstood, but he said nothing more. “Did you? That’s super cool! Wish that were me.” he snorted.

000

𑣲┆𝙈𝙖𝙪𝙧𝙪𝙨 𝘼𝙫𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙪𝙨 ˚.⋆ֹ @burgundytorridity.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

“Hey, hey! I said no offense!” He lifted his hands in defense, but he’s smiling all the while as he makes the drink anyways. “You just don’t look like the type who’d enjoy drinking it is what I mean.” He handed it over.
