something something au where recently divorced but still extremely closeted trent walks into a bar owned by beard and frequently bartended by ted
#thinking of so many facets to this. bartender ted works shockingly well on multiple levels#trent being both divorced and closeted bc Some Shit Is Going On There#something something the divorce was kind of messy but more just exhausted on both sides#neither understanding or willing to admit what exactly is going wrong#trent being like oh shit. i'm fucking. super gay. is actually kind of a relief to both of them even though#for a hot second she fully thinks he's making it up in a misguided attempt to make her feel better/make himself look better#anyway just the idea of trent wandering into a bar post divorce when it's not his day with crimmlet#feeling awful and exhausted and lonely#and more snappish than usual--his coworkers have noticed he's even more biting and standoffish than before--only to realize#a) this is a gay bar b) the bartender is really nice c) oh no he's gay for the bartender d) WAIT IS HE GAY#something something trent previously both deeply closeted and deeply convinced he is generally unattractive/adequate at best#has no idea how to handle multiple gay men hitting on him#some of them are drag queens. many of them are not.#trent blushing so hard his face feels physically hot when some bear flirts with him very explicitly:#oh. oh i didn't know it could feel like this????#and then there's of course the handsome bartender who is very very nice and sweet and trent's developing a megacrush at mach speed#but also feels kinda bad bc he is NOT gonna hit on a bartender. being gay does not change the rules of#flirting with someone who is on the job liek that--who has to be nice to you and cannot leave#is Bad and Rude. meanwhile ted has been making eyes at this newcomer all night and beards like man take your break i will man the bar#you keep forgetting to attend to everyone else bc youre too busy watching newbie twirl his hair at you#anyway the point is. unhappy closeted recently divorced trent accidentally walks into a gay bar#and walks out shyly glowing newly out and with the bartender's number. great bar 10/10 he's going back all the time#man is literally sitting at the bar with a sprite just talking to his bf while they're lovingly harassed by the regulars#about taking notes from lesbians with how fast they fell in love lmao#tedependent#gertspeak#tedtrent
