You were used to seeing John at the far end of the bar, occasionally accompanied by the butcher, but never before had you seen the butcher alone. Today was the first time you saw the hulking shadow of a man hunched over the rear booth, sipping whiskey alone. You would have continued to ignore him the way he had ignored you any time you had seen him around the village and tried to say hi, but you caught him staring, gaze heavy, those honey brown eyes snaring you.
When he nods his head towards the empty space in the booth you look to your right and left, certain there was no way he was inviting you to sit with him. You still hadn't even officially met, most of your interactions were him grunting at you when you came in to pick up scraps and sometimes splurging on fresh cuts of meat for yourself. You would whisper his name to yourself, Simon, like it was a secret. Like he was some kind of fae being, his name giving you some kind of power over him.
However, it very much seems to be the other way around because all it took was a roll of his eyes and a crooked finger pointing in your direction for you to be slipping off the barstool you had claimed for yourself, grabbing your pint with one hand, jacket in the other, and walking towards the back of the bar. Not a single word of instruction but you had understood the request implicitly.
It should be unsettling, it is unsettling.
