[Gift] This is a robbery!
One of the things Rowan...semi-fears...is perhaps the cops. Considering he has engaged and still does engage in whats considered 'criminal activity', it puts him on edge from time to time. He isn't overly worried. He knows he can be clever, talk his way out of a fast spot, and hide any lingering evidences. Unfortunately he doesn't exactly trust Sophia to be able to do the same, she has a habit of letting her mouth run like a tap. Its getting close to close-time for the bar. It may be unconventional but Rowan does in fact like to sleep, so two-am is a reasonable close time in his eyes, unless someone else wants to stay late to keep them open which...no one usually does.
Its been a slow night. He's busy drying and shining glasses while Sophia trips over herself getting drinks to people. It hits around five minutes before close and customers are shoo-d out the door. You'd think this means they could start clean-up and go home. Realistically it SHOULD mean they could start clean-up and then get home but the night has other plans. The front door slams open and Sophia jumps out of her skin, Rowan even starts a little behind the bar.
"YOU'RE UNDER ARREST"
For a second, Rowans heart falls out of his ass, only for his brows to furrow immediately after. Wait. He knows that voice. His face drops from surprise to unamused, he turns towards the door.
"Look, You-" He is one thousand percent about to rip into Ignition, Though he freezes up. "....What are you guys wearing?"
There they are. His partners. In cop costumes. Grinning like idiots.
"Sorry sir i'm going to have to ask you to shut up, You're under arrest for being too sexy, Its a really big crime in this area." Fragaria puts her finger up and flips the fakest badge known to man at Rowan. Sophia claps a hand over her mouth to laugh and Rowan shoots her a glare. It's not very effective, as his face is going pinker by the second. He has to be stern obviously, he's just finding it a little hard to focus given the nature of said costumes. He knows as well as anyone that Fragaria is usually the sensible one, so why SHE is wearing the sexy cop costume while Ignition is wearing the normal one is so far beyond him.
"Sophia. The door." Rowan says firmly and she scurries off while still snickering under her breath. "You know, Its completely unneccessary to have my soul leave my body this late at night."
Aria sits on a bar stool and leans her head on her hand, tilting it and batting her eyelashes "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to frighten you~"
"I wasn't frightened-" Rowan scowls at the mere notion, or implication that he was...gasp...scared!
"Yeah you were. I could practically see the spirit leaving your body through your mouth" Ignition smirked, and Rowan glares at him through sharper eyes. Though he's become more tolerable since Rowans talk with Damon, Its still a personality clash. A more manageable personality clash than before, though.
"Yes. Well. Thats no way to treat me is it." Rowan crosses his arms and huffs through his nose, looking away from them in an almost tantrum-like manner. Apparently acting like a prissy princess can be a very Rowan thing to do sometimes. Aria grins and sits up, both arms now on the bar comfortably.
"Good news!" She claps her hands together.
Rowan side-eyes her. Even if he's being a drama queen, He still wants to hear why on earth they even came here. Its not as if they'd want to see him or anything [and the audience eyerolls in annoyance]. She leans closer and a more mischevious grin falls on her face.
"We can fix that~" She responds, with a purr in her tone and Rowan starts upright again, tossing the rag he had been using to dry glasses at her. She catches it with ease and glances at him expectantly.
"Let me. Close up. Then we'll see about your 'fix'" He rolls his eyes and as he goes in the back to do some random tinkering, he hears them both hi-five eachother and shakes his head. What in the world is he going to do with those two? He can only imagine what he's in-for once they get out of here. He suspects something to do with handcuffs which he is certainly nervous about. Little is he aware that they just plan to let him sleep. Good cop Bad cop can wait for a night where he's off work.
Not that Rowan would be into that kind of thing, because he isn't into any kind of thing. Other sins, especially Lust, are just not in his line of sight. At least thats what he wants you to believe.
Thankfully, his partners dont buy it. So tonight he sleeps...Tomorrow he may end up in a different position in the bedroom. He sits on a fine line between pretending he feels nothing and hates everyone, and craving the attention and care so desperately despite being judgemental himself. At least he's trying to alter that a little, because for fuck sake if these two idiots can hold back judgement of him then maybe he should try and give what he gets. All things considered he obviously cares about them, Even if he would never say it aloud.
Though he really hopes they arent planning on sleeping in those gaudy cop costumes.
wait. thats not the right line-
