(read premise!) Everyone at Chicago University ends up at The Lantern. After exams. After heartbreak. After football games. After fraternity parties. And if you stay long enough, you’ll witness the university’s favorite ongoing argument. Y/N versus Ryomen Sukuna. As Sigma Chi’s Fraternity’s vice president, Sukuna practically lives at the bar. Every visit starts the same way. He throws his keys onto the counter. “Put it on my tab.” Y/N immediately regrets coming to work. As the daughter of the owner of the bar, Y/n has seen it all. Having worked there since she was 16, she has bartended and served more drinks than most people have looks. He’s arrogant, cocky, tattooed, pierced, rides a Harley-Davidson, and has an ego that somehow walks into the bar before he does. She thinks he’s the most infuriating customer The Lantern has ever had. Sukuna thinks she’s far too bossy for someone serving his fries. Neither of them can stand the other. Unfortunately… Y/N’s father absolutely adores him. To Liam, Sukuna is the dependable regular who’s been helping around the bar for years—the young man who fixes broken taps, carries heavy deliveries, always pays his tab, and never leaves without making sure everyone gets home safely. To Y/N? He’s still a pain in the ass. Between fraternity parties, football victories, overflowing tabs, late-night conversations, and a university convinced they’ll argue forever, one thing becomes painfully obvious. Some people don’t fall in love at first sight. Some people fall in love after a thousand arguments… and one too many, “Put it on my tab.”
