“An actor?” Kurt’s tone is wry, more amused than mean at this point. He turns his glass around on the bartop, watching the dim lights above them play across the whiskey as it swirls in the shot glass. “No, not quite.”
Despite his career path of choice being maybe a little too on the nose, he’d never been particularly good at playing to type, and there was only ever one trope...

“So do I.” Kurt pulls himself onto a bar stool finally, giving up on any hope of leaving any time soon. He’s loathe to admit it, even to himself, but the last few days have been awfully lonely - not seeing Quinn, being so far from his usual place, even if the apartment he’s renting has a room just for his work things. He swallows a sigh; it’s just as hard to admit there’s not...

“I was entitled, I think,” Kurt replies a little tartly. For whatever reason Sam’s little smirk makes him feel strangely defensive, though he can’t tell if it’s because Sam’s mocking him or because he’s sometimes disappointed in his own naivete at thinking making it big in the big city would really make everything easier. He tosses his head and brushes at his hair again,...

“Depends on what you mean by from.” Kurt shrugs once, looking back down at his glass. Technically he was, born and raised for the vast majority of his life in some little bumblefuck town nobody believed existed in California. He prefers to pretend otherwise. “But I live and I work in Hollywood.” He rocks up on his heels and takes another sip of his water, brushing his hair from...

“It’s very nice.” Kurt watches Sam through his lashes, head dipped as if he’s just staring at his glass of water; they’re so alone, and it bothers him, bothers him that Sam is being so unflaggingly friendly when Kurt is doing his best to throw down his water and move on. But Sam is pretty too, his smile is bright and warm, and without thinking, Kurt licks his lips. He does have...

“And I am certainly not a short pretty blond, so.” Kurt drums his fingers restlessly against the bartop, tense and awkward; he’s good at making nice and batting his lashes and shmoozing in crowds, but it’s so quiet here, quiet and uncomfortable and weird and intimate, and there’s Sam, just lurking there. If he’s going to be alone he needs to be alone, not in an empty bar with...

Kurt ducks his head, keeping his eyes on the bar as Sam takes a step back - that is why he wants to go home, right there. Not everyone is over the moon about gays even in Hollywood and he’s met his fair share of closet cases concerned about their blockbuster film careers, but at least most people don’t care. He tries to think rationally - it’s not like the guy even knows - but...

“I didn’t mean to startle you.” Though Kurt sounds more than a little surprised that a guy like that would be easy to startle at all, especially by someone as comparatively nonthreatening as Kurt himself. He leans his arms on the bar and clasps his hands together, looking around with thinly veiled disinterest before finally letting his gaze settle on the bartender again.
Okay,...

usmcsamevans replied to your post: yo dickwad. we really need to start making a rule that showers are mandatory before entering the bar. otis is really beginning to stink up the place.
we just need to put a bucket of soapy water over the door and drop it on him before he comes in.
have you ever seen that guy swing? if we do that you’re taking the blame for it, i’m not gonna be...

Granted, Kurt didn’t spend his entire life in the city - far from it, trapped in the boondocks of some horrible little nowhere town where it was clear he wasn’t ever exactly going to be a welcome member of the community. Precisely the kind of horrible little nowhere Quinn has run off to (even if she is from here, why would anyone ever want to go back) so she can get back to her...

Monday”s are always slow nights and that’s probably why Sam likes them so much. Most people live for the weekends, but when you own a bar, a nice quiet weekday can be a well-earned reprieve. Puck’s the complete opposite. He loves the place when it’s packed, nosy, and complete chaos, but Sam’s had enough of chaos and he still has the scars from a few bullets to prove...
