When Steve sits at the bar, the first thing he gets is a cupcake with red, white and blue frosting and Happy 95th Birthday!.

"Yeah, yeah," he says in a good-natured tone, because even he has given up trying to keep track of how old he is. Twenty-eight, ninety-five, two? Ninety-five is probably the most accurate.

The second thing he gets is a napkin: Want to bartend today?

Yes. Yes, he does. The Big Book of Drinks even has a patriotic section.

TODAY'S SPECIALS
Stars and Stripes Forever
Patriotic Margarita
All-American Beauty
Apple, cherry or blueberry pie by the slice

[ooc: As of 6:30 PM MST, bartending is closed to new threads. Thanks for tagging in, everybody!]

"Whatever helps you, honey."

He smiles and leans forward. "It will be all blank except July 4th. Steve's birthday."

[thekidfrombrooklyn]

Steve laughs and kisses him lightly. "That is the only date that matters."

[golden_lyre]

"Then I'll be set!"

[thekidfrombrooklyn]

Steve laughs.

"Hey, I bet if I asked the Bar if she's rested enough, she'll say yes."

[golden_lyre]

"What are you waiting for, lovely?"

[thekidfrombrooklyn]

Steve opens his mouth to ask when the napkin pops up. Go on, you two.

"You're a peach, Miss Bar," Steve says, and then adds, "And could we have a picnic and some firecrackers?"

Bar provides. The sparklers stick out of the basket.

Steve takes it with one more, "Thank you," and comes out from behind the bar. "Ready, sweetheart?"

Orpheus watches the exchange with amusement and fondness.

"Yes, I certainly am."

[thekidfrombrooklyn]

"She spoils me," Steve says, taking Orpheus's hand.


[ooc: OOM? I'm thinking I'd like to close bartending.]

[golden_lyre]

"She likes you," Orpheus says with a laugh, tugging him toward the door.


[ooc: Sure! Will you set it up?]

[thekidfrombrooklyn]

[ooc: La!]
