*The night air is quiet, and cold. Yet despite this, the brilliant flashing lights of the karaoke bar pierce the quiet night sky like a harpoon through a whale. Patrons come and go, including one young man with incredibly spikey hair.*
Arthur
*Sho De Luca found himself somewhat tuckered out, making his way home on a cold evening. But considering his Pokemon were tired and napping in their Pokeballs... Why not hit up the karaoke bar? He enjoyed listening to music, and this was essentially a free show.*
Victoria
**Colbi was up on stage with Baby.. Of course Baby was up there with him. He had the mic in hand and was absolutely killing it. His melodic voice ringing out like a simple birds song. He was practically gaining more admiring fans. Hopefully none will escalate to anything deadly.**
Arthur
*Deadly? No. Definetly not. Sho simply took a seat at the bar, and ordered a water. Though it didn't exactly compare to the tall glass that was Colbi. Sho watched in awe, golden eyes sparkling with little stars that only before surfaced when Iggy evolved into a Dragonite. This was... Admittedly, a very handsome man. The buff lad claps when appropriate.*
Victoria
**After a bit, he was finished. Putting the mic away, he grabbed Baby's hand and playfully bowed with her. The gengar getting happy from the applause. He would walk off of the stage with the large pokemon. Waving and thanking everyone who had complimented him.** "Yes- Thank you." **He walked up to the bar.**
Arthur
*Sho simply turns back to the bar, idly sipping on his drink. When Colbi reaches his position, he grins to the ruby-haired lad.* "Quite the performance you put on there, you and your Pokemon too. Wonderful job! I can buy you a drink, if you'd like. It's the least I could do." *The buff son of a gun that is Sho looked to be BARELY balancing on the barstool—said stool seemed to be on the breaking point. Too much muscle mass, it seems.*
Victoria
"Oh- That'd be appreciated." **He laughed a little, looking over at Sho with a happy smile. He just took in all his features. A small purr came from him as he spoke more. His Russian(?) accent more prominent now that he talked normally. **
Arthur
*Sho turned to the barkeep, but...* "Oh! My apologies, I forgot to ask for what you'd like! That, and your name." *The trainer gently rested his arms on the bar, leaning over it ever so slightly.*
Victoria
"I'm feeling whiskey for today. And I'm Colbi Tengku." **The shorter male kept his eyes on him. Colbi finding him.. Very.. Very handsome. It was quite obvious that he thought that too.**
Arthur
*Sho gently rapped his fingers on the bar itself, and ordered a whiskey for Colbi. Colbi Tengku... A lovely name.* "A pleasure to meet you, Colbi! I'm Sho, Sho De Luca!" *The scruffy male offered his hand up for a hand shake... Though his lips are curled into a smile, his eyes holding a level gaze. Seems he realized the meaning behind Colbi's own gaze.*
Victoria
**He narrowed his eyes a bit, tilted his head, and let a small smile grace his face.** "Oh~ The pleasure is all mine, believe me. What a gorgeous name.. It seems to fit you so perfectly." **He purred happily.**
Arthur
"As does yours." *Sho's seductive smirk quickly shifted into a jovial grin, though his eyes still kept the prior quality. His golden irises seemed to perfectly reflect Colbi's image back to him—if he was close enough to see it, that is.* "Though, that last name could use a little work. How does "Tengku-De Luca" Sound to you?" *Flirting—the De Luca's specialty.*
Victoria
"Seems to have a ring to it.. Don't you think?" **He gazed into his eyes. Not daring to break the contact. His bright blue hues matching oceans. Not like the deep depths. Like the bright and colorful reef.**
Arthur
"Indeed it does." *The bar keep comes around, and delivers the whiskey—which Sho passes to Colbi, all without breaking eye contact.* "Now what's a beautiful sapphire like yourself doing out here? Not trying to steal my heart, I hope." *The shark-toothed trainer chuckles gently.*
Victoria
**He laughed a little bit.** "Unfortunately, I had no plans. But, I can make plans if you so wish~ other than that, I just wanted to go out, y'know." **He shrugged slightly while taking the whiskey in hand.**
Arthur
"I like the sound of that~." *The shark toothed lad licked his lips slightly, and took a sip of his water. Seems he isn't an alcohol man, despite being in a bar.*
Victoria
**Colbi just drank the whiskey as if it was nothing. Setting the glass down as he glanced over.** "So.. Did you plan on meeting anyone here?" **He asked in a teasing tone.**
Arthur
"Nah, not exactly." *Sho's reponse shifted to a nonchalaunt tone.* "Just came around to be entertained, I guess. But it seems I've found something much better than that." *Sho's head leaned over, inching closer ever so slightly.*
Victoria
**His cheeks dusted a light pink, he let out a small giggle.** "Oh did you now?" **He noted the inch in. Humming a little as he watched.**
Arthur
"Mm-hmmmm~" *His forehead gently taps against Colbi's. It's fairly warm to the touch, yet not in an unpleasant manner. Warm like a friendly hug or a soft blanket, that type of thing.* "Better by a mile."
Justina
Colbi:**He blinked from slight confusion.** "Oh? That much-?" **He chuckled. Quite liking the warmth from him.**
Clarence
SDL "I think it's pretty evident." *Sho's tone switched IMMEDIATELY back to seduction, hand outstretched to hold Colbi's own—should he take the offer. His expression is kind and caring, not exaclty matching his tone. Likely because they're in public.* SDL
Justina
**He glanced to his hand. Hesitantly brushing his own against the warmth on him. He hummed in curiosity and gazed at the limb.** "Are you always warm?"
Clarence
"Usually. I don't exactly like the cold, so I try to stay as warm as possible." *Using his other hand, Sho opens his jacket to reveal a fuzzy interior, soft to the touch.* "Plus these guys do a lot of liftin' and moving, so they are pretty warm most of the time." *Sho's hand is peppered with various scars, earned in fights with Pokemon and people alike.*

"And what about you? Are you always so adorable?"
Victoria
**He looked away at the comment,** "I prefer gorgeous, but we all have our things I guess." **He pouted playfully while gazing away from him. Colbi's skin looked delicate and soft. Like it was silk or velvet. **
Arthur
*Sho's chuckle grows into a full-blown laugh. It's adorable, really—his hair bounces ever so slightly with each bob of his head.* "Humor too. Jackpot." *Sho's eyes sparkled once more as he looked over Colbi's hands, gently rubbing Colbi's knuckles with his thumbs.* "So soft..." *The words seemed to escape Sho's lips without his permission.*
Victoria
**He perked up a little,** "Soft..?" **He tilted his head then looked down to the contact they had. His face dusted a light pink again,** "Oh- Yes-"
Arthur
"Oop—" *Sho's hands draw upward to cover his mouth, face flashing a bright red.* "Sorry, sorry! Jeez that was weird of me—" Internally, Sho is screaming. He gently taps the counter, which the barkeep interprets as grabbing Sho a whisky.*
Victoria
"Oh- It's okay! I don't mind-" **He laughed a little while gazing at him. He took a hold of his own glass and finished it from nervousness.**
Arthur
*Sho takes a tiny sip of his own whiskey when he acquires it, though, it seems to make his face even redder... Alongside boosting his confidence.* "Yeah, you're just... Wow. You are very gorgeous."

"Like, knockin' prince damn charming out of the PARK gorgeous."
Victoria
**He let out a happy laugh,** "Thank you dear.." **He watched his face get redder,** "Are you.. Drunk? Or tipsy?" **He asked with a small chuckle.**
Arthur
"T-tipsy... I'm a bit of a lightweight in that regard." *It takes a moment, but...* "Dear? I see. Should I start calling you "Honey" Now...?" *Sho takes another sip.*
Victoria
**He smiled softly,** "How about we take the alcohol away. Don't want you getting to drunk." **He reached to take the drink away, hoping he wouldn't have to enforce it. But who knows.**
Arthur
*Sho lets it go. If Colbi was able to spot that he was getting a bit tipsy, then it's best to lay off the sauce for now.* "Yeah, you're right. Don't want to have my Pokemon lug me home... Again." *Sho snickers.*
Victoria
**He'd drink the whiskey for himself. Chuckling at him as he spoke,** "At least you're aware of it. Would you like me to help you to your residence?"
Arthur
"That'd be appreciated... Thanks Colbi. Again, I apologize for this. Is there any way I can make it up to you?" *The mountain man leans over once more to get on eye level with the firey haired lad.*
Victoria
"Howww about.. You take me on a date when you feel better?" **He asked with a small smile. Gently grabbing his hand, he clicked his tongue for baby. Now the gengar stood behind Sho to make sure he doesn't fall.**
Arthur
"Sounds good, cutie. Gimme tonight and I'll be ready." *Sho's thumbs gently stroke the backs of Colbi's hands as he stands up. Albeit he tries to remain steady to lessen the work load on Baby.*
Victoria
**He nodded with a happy smile.** "Okay- I'll make sure to be ready as well." **He looked up at him and let out a chuckle.**
