[The suspicion on Fuuta's face is mirrored on Charlie's in narrowed eyes, though his are crinkled with characteristic glee. He's enjoying the show once again, expression a clear reprise of their previous rendezvous.
Until the boy puzzles out something, and Charlie raises his brows in blunt mock surprise. As if he'd been caught in his scheme.
With faux chagrin, he offers his wrist to the waiter when they request an account for the tab.] He's just so cute, how can I not treat him, eh? [The waiter responds with a forced smile, clearly more interested in doing their job than getting in between their two patrons.]
So, while we wait... why don't you tell me what your favorite meal is? [Casual conversation, normal, but delivered with that same predatory smile he always seems to wear around the boy.]
[ He’s never going to get used to people here calling him “cute,” sarcastic or not. The compliment(?) earns a highly unsubtle grimace, and Fuuta gives a dismissive huff as their waiter departs. ]
Why, are you planning on treating me again in the future?
[ He can’t help being bristly when even that innocuous question manages to sound slimy coming from Charlie. But, well … it’s not like he wants to make small talk with the guy? But the place is a bit too glitzy for him to slouch back and just fiddle with his phone, and the prospect of just being stared at by Charlie until the food arrives is even worse. So. ]
… dunno if I have a favorite, but I like stuff with meat. Like katsu curry. Yakiniku. Ramen, with extra chashu. [ Ngh. He’s getting hungrier talking about this. ] You look like the type to say your favorite food is something pretentious and expensive. Caviar something or the other.
[And that grimace is exactly what Charlie likes to see - though when he says Fuuta is cute, he means it. He'll never tire of a bright flush of frustration, the edge of anger.
Charlie's foot taps idly under the table, the rest of him rapt in the mundane answer to the mundane question. No feature of Fuuta's is beneath his intrigue, perhaps unfortunately for the boy.]
Me? Caviar!? [He gestures to himself, a sting of genuine incredulity.] The guys who actually like caviar are gonna get mad at you for sayin that.
Like you're insultin 'em.
[With a shake of the head, he chuckles.] My favorite's sweets. Like those little cookies- [He starts making the shape with his fingers, as if Fuuta's never seen a square or circle before.] -you know?
[As he continues to make cookie shapes - struggling to twist his fingers in the configuration of a flower - the waiter returns with Fuuta's cocktail. They set it down wordlessly, practiced habit to slip in and out of guest's experiences unobtrusively.
[ It's a snide comment that Fuuta mutters into his glass of water, too annoyed by Charlie to hold his tongue, but not yet incensed enough to say it properly out loud; maybe if Charlie is lucky he'll be able to make out those words in between the ambient noise of the restaurant, but otherwise, Fuuta sure isn't going to draw any attention to them.
Especially not when his waiter slides his cocktail before him the next moment.
The fact that it's been brought out so quickly does earn a blink, but Fuuta otherwise accepts it without much thought, giving their waiter a small nod in thanks before picking up the glass to take a small sip. ... it's good, actually. Much better than he'd expected? There's a trace of obvious surprise in the way he pulls the glass away to look at it for a moment, reflexively licking his lips -- it's sweet but not too sweet, with a nice kick that reminds him of ginger tea, tingly on the tongue without being medicinal. Fuuta takes another sip, and doesn't lower the little glass even as he shoots Charlie an unimpressed look. ]
And what are you, a five year old? Liking sweets at that age ... [ A slightly overdramatic sigh before he takes another sip. Despite what he said, he sure is underestimating this drink, just because it doesn't taste that alcohol-forward. ] I mean, I guess you can like what you want? But you know it always looks weird when guys like sweets too much, right. You should probably at least sound kind of embarrassed talking about liking cookies.
[Charlie does catch Fuuta's fleeting remark, though he offers nothing but a content shrug in response. As if he'd heard an unintentional compliment; Charlie's quite pleased with his self-awareness.
That he remains quiet to watch Fuuta drink should be immediately suspicious. He'd rather the boy partake in the cocktail than continue to pry and rile him up. The moment of quiet is a damning testament to his patience; he knows Fuuta will be even easier to wind around his finger when the alcohol, and whatever else, has set in.
So he idly watches light glint against the surface of the lightly colored spirit, a satisfied purse of his lips when Fuuta continues to sip.]
I'm not an easy guy to embarrass, no matter what it looks like. Are you sayin' I look immature? [An accusation he won't combat. Not because he tries to appear childish - it just doesn't matter what Fuuta thinks.] Everybody's got somethin' weird they like.
[He pauses, giving Fuuta another chance to drink.]
What about you? What's something you like that you shouldn't? [He doesn't actually expect an answer, but a flush of cheeks is just as good.]
[ And it works! Fuuta’s cheeks promptly flush a shade pinker as his posture stiffens, and he’s quick to don an irate scowl as he leans forward, lowering his voice to a growl. ]
Look, I don’t know what kinds of people you’ve been messing with in this place, but you’ve got the wrong target if you think I’m gonna go along with any of your bullshit.
[ He says, right before throwing down a big gulp of his drink, playing tough to try and emphasize his point. It’s fine, he figures; he’s not going to get drunk off something this weak. Fuuta clears his throat after swallowing, tongue tracing his lips to catch the tingling sensation lingering there, before resuming: ]
Some people here might be giving up on common sense, but I don’t care how insane this place is — I still know what’s right and wrong, what’s normal and not, and I am not losing track of any of that. I’m not into any weird shit, and even if I was, like hell I’m talking about any of that stuff in a place like this, in public, and especially not to someone like you.
[ There’s a belligerent confidence to his delivery, the sort of smug condescension unique to someone who’s sure they’re talking to someone worse than them, and Fuuta gives a brief huff. Then he throws back the rest of his cocktail before flagging down a nearby waiter and holding up the empty glass. ]
[Having mirrored Fuuta's bend forward, Charlie gets a great view of the boy's flushed cheeks. The alcohol begin to color them soon, though he wonders if his banter and the drink will be able to pull as deep a shade of red as their last encounter.
Hopefully-
Charlie's lips form a faux surprised 'oh' when Fuuta rejects his question, like he's truly been spurned. The rest of his rant meets an unblinking stare; sickly eyes only move to watch the glass in Fuuta's hand.
Until it's empty.
He may have ordered Fuuta another himself, but the boy beats him to it. That brings a mote of genuine surprise to his features. The pleasant sort.] Do you think you're in the minority there? Being very normal and not doing anything 'wrong?'
I think you might be the only one here who's not into any weird shit! Kind of makes me feel sad for you - left out. [He's not chasing an ideal conclusion - Fuuta admitting a kink or insisting on a sense of public decency - just keeping the guy talking.
The next drink comes quickly, along with one of the small plates requested. They're delivered subtly, though Charlie turns his head mid-conversation to tell the server to check back soon.
I'm not left out. [ As a youth ever-conscious of how he's being received, of course Fuuta bristles at that observation, even if he's just as quick to walk it back. ] -- not that I'd care if I was? What other people wanna do is their business, and I'm not going along with anything just because it's what everyone else is doing? Like that matters to me. [ Too bad those blustering words are followed by a forceful exhale. Somebody doth protest too much. ] So I don't need any of your pity.
[ He caps off that statement by grabbing for the refill of his cocktail and going to take a swig of it -- only to pause after a sip, pulling the glass away from his mouth. Fuuta's expression tinges with some combination of surprise and confusion as he distractedly licks his lips. ... they feel tingly, for some reason. And a little hot? Did they make this drink stronger? The first one didn't taste this spicy, he thinks.
Charlie might notice it before Fuuta himself, the way his face is starting to flush a little redder, sweat starting to bead thinly at his temple. And though Fuuta tries to distract himself by putting down the glass and going for a bite of the food instead, that earns a similar confused double-take in reaction. ... why does his mouth feel so weird. Like everything feels a little too intense against his lips and tongue; he ends up chewing at his lip for a moment, eyes narrowed, before glaring back up at Charlie. ]
... 'sides, if you're gonna be asking someone something, shouldn't you talk about yourself, first? You gonna spill about all your weird hobbies in public?
[ Ugh, actually, he regrets saying that the moment the words leave his mouth. He'd just said the first thing that came to mind, wanting to put Charlie on the back foot, but something tells him the guy's not going to be fazed by the demand at all. ]
[Insisting he doesn't care contradicts Fuuta's perpetual demeanor. Charlie associates anger in any form - frustration, outbursts, simmering - with love, after all. It's easy to listen to these desperate rebuttals because they carry no weight.
As if to confirm he has no pity to offer, Charlie shrugs.
He waits, then, while Fuuta takes another drink. Finger idly flipping the edge of his unused menu, he schools the interest that piques when his partner's demeanor shifts. In contrast to red cheeks, his tongue seems pale when it darts over his lips. Charlie keeps his in his mouth, impassive in the face of Fuuta's apparent confusion.
The drinks here are the fun type tonight, huh?
And so are Fuuta's questions - too quick to attempt a verbal assault, now he's put himself in a position he doesn't want to be in. Though, to be fair, maybe any position with Charlie is one Fuuta doesn't want.
He did ask for dinner though...]
Sure, why not! [Charlie is quick to indulge the inquiry precisely because he can tell Fuuta doesn't really want to hear it.] You already know I like to watch, but did you know that kissin' is my favorite?
You really eh... spoiled me last time. [Remember that kiss? He does.]
[ His cheeks had already started to redden from some combination of the alcohol and the little extra zing added to the drinks, but clearly, that was just a warmup exercise. Charlie's casual remark immediately has Fuuta's face flushing so hot it almost matches his hair. ]
Wh -- I didn't -- shut up! Why the hell would I have -- ?!
[ Of course he'd raised his voice in indignation, but Fuuta shuts up the moment their water steps back over with an impeccably polite but frosty, 'Is there a problem, sirs?' Equal parts mortified and frustrated, he's silent for a moment before shaking his head, muttering something about 'no, no problem.' And right as the waiter starts stepping away, he hurriedly adds, 'I wanted another cocktail. The -- uh, something sweet. Anything's fine.'
He probably shouldn't be getting another drink already. He knows that, rationally. But the order had been in part because he needs something to wash that weird tingly feeling out of his mouth, and in part to get the waiter to step away. The moment the waiter has stepped out of earshot, Fuuta leans across the table to hiss, ]
That was only because of the game! Like hell I was doing anything to s-spoil you!
[ With that point made absolutely clear, he scrunches back down in his seat to angrily stuff a piece of meat in his mouth. His mouth still feels weird, the texture against his tongue making his nerves bristle, and it's a little slurred when he mumbles, ]
And you're a fucking weirdo, you know that. The hell was there to like about watching ... that. The shit you made me do. You just did that to humiliate me, I know you did.
[There it is. The red flushing over Fuuta's whole face is as enticing as it'd been across the poker table. Charlie doesn't school his satisfaction, instead leaning forward on the table, relaxing into the scene.
When Fuuta turns back from damning himself with another drink, Charlie looks pretty fucking comfortable. His eyes dart between the retreating waitstaff and his table companion, as if implying something. What is that something? It doesn't matter, Fuuta will supply an answer to piss himself off.
It's so easy to wind him up - this is great!] So, hold on, I'm confused. [A hand raises, as if to halt Fuuta's bluster.]
You only gave me that long, sloppy, wonderful kiss because of the game. But, when I had you do those other guys some favors, it was about you? [A pause, his lips pursed impishly.] You're right.
But I think you might'a liked my attention, too.
I'll let you blame the string. I'll let you blame the alcohol tonight, too. [And he points to Fuuta's unfinished drink, silently prompting him to finish it up before the third is brought to the table.] And, I won't even humiliate you this time.
[His tongue flicks over his bottom lip, unblinking stare fixed on Fuuta. Foot tapping restlessly under the table, it's clear he's thinking of something more than a dinner date.]
[ Oh, he hates that Charlie has a point, there. He'd jerked back when Charlie raised that hand to stop him, and Fuuta's left gawping in impotent fury afterward, struggling to come up with a decent defense. There isn't one, of course, and so he angrily forks another piece of meat in his mouth, trying to pretend that's the only reason he's at a loss for words for the moment.
Brain still occupied trying to think of a counterpoint to Charlie's statements, Fuuta automatically picks his drink up to drain it when it's pointed at, thumping the empty glass down with a little more force than was probably necessary as he snaps, ]
I-it's different, alright! You know what you did! And there's n-no way I'd want any attention from a creep like you!
[ -- god, he knows that's barely a defense at all, and he winces a little at the sound of his own words leaving his mouth. Especially because -- as he glowers across the table at Charlie, Fuuta realizes he's drooling a little, rendering his words wet and sloppy around the edges. He hurries to swipe at his mouth with the sleeve of his hoodie, brow scrunched in embarrassment and frustration. Whatever was in that drink's really getting to him by this point, his whole mouth feeling weirdly itchy for contact, and when the waiter approaches with his third drink -- a different cocktail this time, something pink and sugary-looking -- he barely waits for it to be put down before snatching it up to take a big gulp of it.
It does seem to soothe the tingling in his mouth a little bit. But as he feels the saccharine heat of it work its way down his throat, Fuuta realizes what Charlie had said. ]
... what do you mean 'this time.'
[ The anxious, suspicious look in his eyes is rather undermined by how flushed and worked-up he already looks, brow beaded with sweat and lips parted as his breaths come quicker. Despite his denials, his mind's quick to race down a path of what-ifs exploring what could happen from here, and the thought has heat starting to stir in the pit of his stomach. ]
[Easily riled up, and easily obedient. Fuuta serves more than Charlie's need to bully for entertainment. His blood can sustain Charlie, and Charlie's own blood is satiated by every little command he follows - implicit or explicit.
From his unbeating heart outwards, Charlie's blood feels warm.
A brief sensation he sometimes chases to endure, but right now, Charlie would rather continue to watch Fuuta wrap around himself with frustration. He gets messier and messier with every word, not only in his tone but- is that drool?
As Fuuta notices, Charlie raises a hand to his own mouth, mirroring the whisk of hoodie. All clean, for now. Another kiss would fix that.
Charlie's leg stills and he shifts in his seat, leaning to the opposite side.] What do you mean what do I mean? You called me! So, you've got my attention-
Which we've already established you enjoy. [Totally ignoring that pathetic protest earlier.] B-because of the alcohol. [Charlie adds quickly, hardly restrained from laughing while nodding to Fuuta as if trying to get him in on a bit.
As he talks, his leg extends, brushing the side of his shoe against the boy's ankle and lingering. He toys with the cuff of his pants, as if he could excuse this affection as idle fidgeting.] That shit's hittin' you hard, isn't it?
You sure you want the rest of it?
[The other two small plates, delivered from behind Fuuta's shoulder, clink to the table. They look as succulent as the last, and Charlie wonders if the fare is as fun as the drink tonight.]
[ Vaguely, somewhere at the very back of his mind, Fuuta does feel a little squirm of alarm trying to make itself heard. His body doesn't feel right -- his mouth feels hot and tingly, his gaze swimming a little as his thoughts start to blur together. His skin feels itchy, and he has to fight back the urge to rub at himself to ease the sensation. A kiss really would fix a lot ...
Too bad his pride keeps him from heeding that tendril of worry. After what Charlie put him through last time, there's no way he can just tuck his tail between his legs and scamper just because he feels a little weird? He's going to get his damn money's worth out of this meal! It'll be fine, he can soldier through whatever's making him feel like this! He's sure of it! ]
Nn -- [ Speaking takes a little effort when his mouth feels so weird, and he swallows thickly before managing to muster words. ] -- who said I enjoy attention. I just wanted a damn meal.
[ Even as he says that, though, he ends up squirming a little, heat pooling sticky through his guts. He doesn't, he's sure. He doesn't like being watched or anything, but ... maybe. Just a little ...
It's telling, too, that he doesn't recoil from Charlie's shoe nudging against his ankle, his increasingly-foggy brain failing to register that touch as more than a pleasant sensation working its way through his nerves. The next slide of Charlie's shoe against his calf earns a breathy exhale, and Fuuta shivers before muttering, ]
I'm fine? I dunno what you're talking about. I'm ... fine.
[ And while he doesn't take the rest of his drink yet, he does spitefully shove a forkful of one of the small plates in his mouth, face flushing hotter and eyes narrowing as he struggles with the flood of sensations spreading over his tongue. It's tasty, of course. But -- it's also not what he really wants right now, weirdly enough. He wants something else, he thinks. ]
[More protests, but this time they come from nearly trembling lips. Charlie watches Fuuta's body as he talks, his actual words paper-thin and easy to shirk by. There's not even any vitriol behind them anymore; a bit of a shame, he thinks...
But the way Fuuta works his mouth makes up for any delight lost in the tone of his voice. Charlie stares as his lips press together, then shudder. He curls his own inwards, pressing teeth into folding flesh as he considers...
Would he be able to eat tonight, too?
Would his 'food' be laced with the same shit Fuuta has injested, or would he just come away with the usual pleasant dull tingle a cocktail leaves?
Charlie's lips part, but he pauses before he speaks. Beneath the table, his shoe continues to caress Fuuta's calf after a notable lack of protest.]
What's wrong? Don't like how it tastes?
Do you want something else? [He voices the thought in Fuuta's head because its obvious what the boy wants. Even without all that squirming and color on his face - Charlie knows what the drinks do here.]
[ Finally, finally, his addled brain manages to put the pieces together. This fucker must have known that the drinks would get him worked up -- it must be why he'd been so insistent that he order some cocktails, not to get him drunk, but to cause this.
Fuuta's expression does tinge with a hint of indignity and anger at that realization, though he's still too paralyzed fighting against his own nerves to jerk away from the caress at his calf. And though sheer spite drives him to take another bite of his plate, he becoming very aware of the fact that he's fighting a losing battle here. Every bite, every sensation against his tongue has his nerves sparking, and the very act of swallowing earns a hard shudder; he wants more, but of something else. ]
That's not -- ... [ The attempt at a snapped retort cuts off as he has to swallow thickly to keep himself from drooling. Worse than that, even when he does look up from his plate to shoot Charlie a glare, his eyes automatically latch upon the other's lips, his brain quick to wonder how it'd feel to get to kiss him again.
The last time they'd kissed had felt wonderful, after all. And that had been without anything in his system. How good would it feel now? To feel teeth against his lips, tongue on tongue, that slick sensation against nerves rendered so sensitive they're practically tingling ...
He'd been staring at Charlie for a moment, almost dazed in his mounting arousal, and it takes visible effort when Fuuta abruptly stands. It takes even more of a struggle for him to declare, blearily, ] 'm going to the bathroom.
[ Too bad his knees practically give out with the first step he takes, his shoulders hunched as he ends up stumbling, needing to lean heavily against the table to keep from just spilling to the floor. And mortifyingly, the front of his sweatpants are tented visibly, a fact he desperately tries to hide by shoving down the hem of his hoodie. Oh, this is bad. ]
[The drinks are potent tonight. Charlie is, of course, aware of the Resort fare's 'encouraging' qualities. Everyone is. A point he'd insist to Fuuta, were their banter still the verbal sort. As the boy is now, he's clearly beyond coherent words.
With eyes on his lips, Charlie makes no effort to dampen his own eagerness. Top lip curls over teeth, worried beneath before his mouth simply hangs, open slightly. Lips parted, his tongue visibly toys behind his incisor - clear desire even without the haze of addled alcohol.
But what Charlie wants is blood.
The risk that Fuuta's vitae will afflict him similarly presents a small challenge, but... if the boy works through his frustration, the potency of the drug should diminish. Conclusion reinforced by the strength of Charlie's lust, rather than logic, his fingers curl one by one, slowly, against the table.
Impatient. But not so much as his dinner date. Charlie's brow raises, overstated surprise, when Fuuta stands abruptly. He mirrors the move, his watch lighting up to deduct chips for their meal. Typically, Charlie uses a little mind trick to get free or discounted checks, but his ledger is far from his mind.]
Yeah, I bet you are- [With no discretion whatsoever, Charlie looks pointedly from Fuuta's erection to his face.] -but it looks like you need some help gettin' there. [Running curved knuckles along the edge of the table, Charlie closes the distance between them to grab the boy's bicep. Supportive, but trapping, he pulls Fuuta away from the table and into another stride.
Once they're moving, he leans down to speak quietly - too loud to be a whisper - in his ear.] You'll wanna move quick, or more people are gonna see you like this.
[ Charlie's oh-so-kind warning comes too little and too late. Through no fault of his own, of course! It's just that Fuuta's sudden rise and stumble hadn't been the most subtle move, and in an establishment like this where most of the clientele leans sophisticated and graceful, even the smallest blunder stands out. Already, there are glances behind thrown his way from guests and staff alike, accompanied by a quiet titter of laughter from a few of the sharper-eyed individuals, and Fuuta freezes like a deer caught in the headlights when he feels all those eyes fixing on him.
Then that grab at his arm jolts him back to his senses, while scaring a strangled squeak out of him. ]
Y-yeah, I know? [ He hurriedly looks away from the rest of the restaurant, ducking closer to Charlie as he shies away from those stares. ] I'm -- moving. I'm moving.
[ He sure is! But poorly.
Fuuta barely manages a few steps away from their table and towards the exit before his posture starts to crumble. It doesn't help, either, that his mind keeps being drawn to that hand gripped around his arm -- thinking about how good that squeeze feels, about how nice it'd be to feel more of it, and elsewhere, over more of his body. By the time they cross the threshold out into the halls of the resort, Fuuta's leaning heavily against Charlie just to stay upright, his steps wobbly and his free hand raked into Charlie's clothes to keep the other close.
-- his head's spinning so bad. It feels like his blood's boiling, his heart beating way too fast. And Fuuta can barely get the words out when he lets his head sink against Charlie's arm and mumbles, ]
... this is all your fault. You better -- take responsibility.
[Even after spilling into the halls, Fuuta isn't spared lascivious glances. The way he's tucked into Charlie, red and aroused, catches the attention of more than a few passerby. Head to toe, the guests' appraisal is leaden. Charlie gives these temporary voyeurs a quick and devious smile, assuring them.] Yeah, he's alright. Just got himself a little too worked up, you know?
[He's not the only one. Charlie can feel the thrum of Fuuta's pulse beneath his grip. His hold tightens, constricting bloodflow to feel arteries swell. Tongue darting over his lips, Charlie reminds himself of the effects Fuuta is experiencing.
He's not the most patient man.
With quickening strides, Charlie guides his wobbly companion to the door of a luxurious washroom. There he stops; the heat from Fuuta's forehead nestling into him is shock to his resolve. A pause follows as Charlie's other arm rises to fold around Fuuta's shoulders in something almost like a hug. Holding the boy close, he leans down.] You wanted to go to the bathroom, right?
[Now with one hand planted on the shoulder opposite his initial grip, Charlie abruptly shoves Fuuta through the large wooden door and into the lobby. Couches line three of the four walls, the fourth a large multi-paneled mirror. Past the sitting room a line of floor to ceiling stalls await whatever business a cherished resort guest could have.
Charlie drops Fuuta onto a couch, immediately leaning down over him. If the boy continues to cling, he won't try to disconnect.] You said you want me to take care of that for you, right? Or do you want me to find you a playmate? [This is a genuine offer as much as it is goading to get Fuuta to ask for something he so clearly wants.]
[ Fuuta had fallen uncharacteristically silent after making that ragged demand, and the reason for it probably becomes clear when Charlie leans in to wrap arms around him. Ravenous for any sort of stimulation that might sate that empty feeling in his mouth, Fuuta had latched his teeth around a mouthful of Charlie's clothes, mouthing restlessly at the fabric in his desperation.
Even when they step into the bathroom he doesn't relent, barely aware that they've reached their destination. It's only when he's shoved onto the couch that his mouth comes away from that sodden fold of fabric, lips damp and parted as he pants for air, and Fuuta just stares blearily up at Charlie for a moment before his brain arduously catches up. ]
Nnh ... no, I just --
[ A low groan as he looks around, catching sight of the stalls off to the side. Right, right. He wanted to get to the bathroom so he could jerk off. Maybe if he could get himself off a few times, it'd shake off the effect of those cocktails? Except now the prospect of only having his own hand to comfort himself sounds agonizing, and Fuuta groans before shaking his head. ]
Someone else. [ He says that, but backtracks almost immediately afterward -- hands winding desperately into Charlie's clothes to keep him close, before he can step away. Because the thought of having to lie here, waiting, for however long Charlie takes to find someone -- if he even would find someone, instead of just leaving him -- is genuinely agonizing. And besides, what if Charlie finds someone awful? Even worse than him? ] -- no. No, it's fine. I don't need any playmate.
[ 'Tell him to fuck off,' the tiny remaining rational part of his mind shrieks at him. 'Tell him to fuck off. Tell him to go away. Add this to his tab and tell him to fuck off.' Except what Fuuta manages to choke out after a long moment is: ]
-- k -- ... kiss me.
[ There's no coming back from how desperate it ends up sounding, slurred and wet around the edges. ]
[To onlookers the pair are intimately close, Charlie leaning down over Fuuta to listen to his stammered, uncertain responses while the boy's hands tangle in his clothing. To him, there's a chill - distance - unpleasantly lingering between them. Brought to stark attention by the quickly cooling splotch of spit on his shirt, Fuuta's mouth is sorely missed.
So when he demands a kiss, Charlie's smile sharpens. There's a hum, soft and satisfied, in his throat as his Adam's apple bobs in a dry swallow. He'll indulge without hesitation, the dim reminder that Fuuta's blood would taste better than his drool tucked away from his mind.]
Sure... [He wonders if Fuuta will have the sense to demand that Charlie owes him for the pleasure, but that curiosity only leaves his shoulders shrugging - duly amused - as he presses his lips into Fuuta's. The connection is anything but chaste.
Charlie's quick to open his mouth, dragging hot, slick flesh beneath between his lips. He leaves his own spit beneath, no care spared to make this an idyllic tease or romantic affection. He's greedy, just like last time, tongue pressing into Fuuta's mouth to brush along the boy's.
It's so fucking warm, the acrid bite of lingering liquor hardly occurs to him as he shifts farther into his partner. Charlie perches his knee on the bench to Fuuta's side and presses his hand to the boy's collar bone to steady himself. That he can feel searing blood pump from Fuuta's chest beneath his palm is a bonus.
Intoxicatingly so.
He groans, a sound someone more within their senses could identify as want, the vibration in his throat captured in their mouths.]
[ The moment Charlie's lips touch his, he knows he fucked up. His drink-addled mind might have made that demand thinking a kiss would take the edge off that heat roiling his guts -- would just be enough to take the edge off the unbearable lust and let him think straight, so he wouldn't embarrass himself any further -- but he immediately knows that's pure delusion.
Like hell he can pull back now that he's being given what he desperately wants.
Just the crush of lips against his own sends electricity racing down his spine, earning a hard jolt; the wet drag of Charlie's tongue pressing against his is almost too much to take. Fuuta meets the kiss blearily at first before giving as good as he gets, leaning in to drag his teeth against Charlie's lip. And when he feels that hand press against his chest, that light pressure making his nerves light up, he nips harder on reflex. Almost hard enough to break through skin.
Enough to leave a little tender spot when he pulls back, only because his lungs are aching for air. Fuuta gasps, chest heaving, as he breaks the kiss, though his fingers remain insistently tangled into Charlie's clothes; with how scrambled his thoughts are between the alcohol and whatever his drinks were spiked with and now that kiss on top, it takes him far too long to find any words. ]
This -- this is all your fault. Alright. 's not my fault. It's not.
[ It's said with as much grit as he can muster while breathless and bleary, one hand twisting harder into Charlie's clothes. The other shamefully, guiltily, slips under the waistband of his sweatpants so he can paw at himself. The sort of thing he'd never do in public, except he feels like his heart's going to explode if he doesn't immediately address the maddening heat in his veins. It's equal parts desperate, demanding and furious when Fuuta yanks at Charlie's clothes to demand another kiss; it's all he needs to push himself over the edge, he thinks, then surely he'll be able to calm down a bit. ]
[Fuuta's tongue tangling with his leaves a pool of drool in Charlie's mouth. Hot and slick, he can't swallow the mess. The delight of sucking his lip into his mouth - feeling teeth nip his own - doesn't do anything to sate his blood. His body would reject the spit with a retch. So he gives it back, cupping it in his tongue to press the cooling saliva back into Fuuta's mouth right before he pulls away.
A bit spills, dripping onto the boy's pantleg.
Charlie's tongue hangs over his bottom lip, retracting slowly. Disappointed in his partner's need to breathe, he stares duly into Fuuta's hazy eyes.]
Yeah...? And so I'm takin' care of you... [Charlie's voice is soft, not the whisper of a man attempting subtlety, but damningly affectionate. For all his bluster, for the deficit to his chips he insists on causing, Charlie's fond of this guy. Because his blood must be delicious. Because he's a greedy kisser. Because he's so easy to wind up.
Simple reasons.
Taking care of him is simple, too.
One hand remains on Fuuta's chest and the other descends, fingers trailing lightly along the folds of a too-baggy hoodie until they meet his wrist. He wraps his grip around the slim joint, but rather than tug the boy's hand away he lets his digits travel down his palm to replace his grasp on his cock. There'll be no arguing that Charlie 'owes him' for this one.
When Fuuta demands another kiss, Charlie of course reciprocates, though after a few nips and squelches of tongue against tongue, he nudges the boy's face aside. His lips travel over flushed jaw, tracing towards neck. At the base of Fuuta's ear, he pauses. Not yet. That shit's still in this guy's system.
With a quiet groan, Charlie brings his hand up from Fuuta's chest to grab his face and tilt it back towards him for another kiss.]
[ Somewhere at the back of his mind, he registers the damp patter of his own spit dripping onto his clothes. Vaguely, he knows that's gross, and he'd normally have a lot more to say about it, criticizing Charlie for his sloppiness and bitching him out for letting that happen and saying something or the other about cleaning fees. But honestly, all those thoughts feel miles and miles away, buried under hazy thoughts of how nice that kiss had felt.
Then he feels that hand tracing down his wrist, grazing against his palm for a moment before wrapping around his cock. The unnatural chill of Charlie's skin does earn a start and a jump, Fuuta's legs giving a startled jolt from the unexpected sensation of it, a confused grunt stifled at the back of his throat.
Whatever hesitation that surprise had merited is easily squelched, though, the moment those fingers squeeze.
Even cold, the touch of another's skin always feels drastically different from one's own. And riled up as he is by the drinks' influence, Fuuta's in no position to turn down that tantalizing stimulation. It barely takes a few deft movements before he's squirming and tensing against the couch so hard that the cushion squeak softly in protest. And when Charlie rewards him that kiss he'd demanded, that's all that's needed to push him over the edge. It's a relatively paltry amount of stimulation, something he'd be mortified to be climaxing from under normal circumstances, but there's no room in his brain for such notions at the moment -- right now, all that matters is that the feel of teeth grazing over his lip and tongue swiping against tongue feels good enough to wipe his thoughts clean, and Fuuta comes messily over Charlie's hand with a choked moan.
It's a climax that hits sudden and hard, enhanced several times over by whatever's in his system, and Fuuta shudders against the couch as he works through the waves of pleasure, rapidly starting to go limp against the cushions as his field of vision spins.
-- fuck. This really isn't how he'd thought this evening would go. ]
[Only half-hard himself, Charlie pays no attention to his own arousal. He'd intended to get something out of this exchange, but his own climax never came to mind. At first he'd only meant to spend more time with the guy. Wind him up, get a rush out of the way he blusters and argues...
When had he decided he wanted to taste him tonight? Charlie doesn't remember, but the greed persists. Even if it won't be satisfied-
Charlie sneers into their kiss. It's subtle - easy to miss when one is completely enshrouded in their own pleasure. Fuuta's blood would be delightful any day, but the taste of blood at the height of climax is a pleasure Charlie hadn't indulged in until his visit to the Casino. There's a certain sweetness to that moment, and he realizes as it passes him by - polluted by aphrodisiac - that he would have enjoyed the flavor.
Ah well. Next time.
Tongue working over Fuuta's forcefully, as if he could pin the boy's organ in his own mouth, Charlie continues to yank seed from his partner until he gets the sense he's only smearing it around. He brushes his palm against the back of Fuuta's hand, sloppily half-cleaning himself before he removes his hand entirely.
And then he releases Fuuta's jaw to place that hand - steadying - on his shoulder. Looking down at him, he's a mess. Is he going to pass out? Charlie's lips pop apart, quiet but audible in the silent lobby.] Huh.
How you feelin' now? Better? [Unintentionally, idly, his thumb strokes at the fabric beneath it curving over Fuuta's shoulder. Affection.]
no subject
Until the boy puzzles out something, and Charlie raises his brows in blunt mock surprise. As if he'd been caught in his scheme.
With faux chagrin, he offers his wrist to the waiter when they request an account for the tab.] He's just so cute, how can I not treat him, eh? [The waiter responds with a forced smile, clearly more interested in doing their job than getting in between their two patrons.]
So, while we wait... why don't you tell me what your favorite meal is? [Casual conversation, normal, but delivered with that same predatory smile he always seems to wear around the boy.]
no subject
Why, are you planning on treating me again in the future?
[ He can’t help being bristly when even that innocuous question manages to sound slimy coming from Charlie. But, well … it’s not like he wants to make small talk with the guy? But the place is a bit too glitzy for him to slouch back and just fiddle with his phone, and the prospect of just being stared at by Charlie until the food arrives is even worse. So. ]
… dunno if I have a favorite, but I like stuff with meat. Like katsu curry. Yakiniku. Ramen, with extra chashu. [ Ngh. He’s getting hungrier talking about this. ] You look like the type to say your favorite food is something pretentious and expensive. Caviar something or the other.
no subject
Charlie's foot taps idly under the table, the rest of him rapt in the mundane answer to the mundane question. No feature of Fuuta's is beneath his intrigue, perhaps unfortunately for the boy.]
Me? Caviar!? [He gestures to himself, a sting of genuine incredulity.] The guys who actually like caviar are gonna get mad at you for sayin that.
Like you're insultin 'em.
[With a shake of the head, he chuckles.] My favorite's sweets. Like those little cookies- [He starts making the shape with his fingers, as if Fuuta's never seen a square or circle before.] -you know?
[As he continues to make cookie shapes - struggling to twist his fingers in the configuration of a flower - the waiter returns with Fuuta's cocktail. They set it down wordlessly, practiced habit to slip in and out of guest's experiences unobtrusively.
The bar always works faster than the kitchen.]
no subject
[ It's a snide comment that Fuuta mutters into his glass of water, too annoyed by Charlie to hold his tongue, but not yet incensed enough to say it properly out loud; maybe if Charlie is lucky he'll be able to make out those words in between the ambient noise of the restaurant, but otherwise, Fuuta sure isn't going to draw any attention to them.
Especially not when his waiter slides his cocktail before him the next moment.
The fact that it's been brought out so quickly does earn a blink, but Fuuta otherwise accepts it without much thought, giving their waiter a small nod in thanks before picking up the glass to take a small sip. ... it's good, actually. Much better than he'd expected? There's a trace of obvious surprise in the way he pulls the glass away to look at it for a moment, reflexively licking his lips -- it's sweet but not too sweet, with a nice kick that reminds him of ginger tea, tingly on the tongue without being medicinal. Fuuta takes another sip, and doesn't lower the little glass even as he shoots Charlie an unimpressed look. ]
And what are you, a five year old? Liking sweets at that age ... [ A slightly overdramatic sigh before he takes another sip. Despite what he said, he sure is underestimating this drink, just because it doesn't taste that alcohol-forward. ] I mean, I guess you can like what you want? But you know it always looks weird when guys like sweets too much, right. You should probably at least sound kind of embarrassed talking about liking cookies.
no subject
That he remains quiet to watch Fuuta drink should be immediately suspicious. He'd rather the boy partake in the cocktail than continue to pry and rile him up. The moment of quiet is a damning testament to his patience; he knows Fuuta will be even easier to wind around his finger when the alcohol, and whatever else, has set in.
So he idly watches light glint against the surface of the lightly colored spirit, a satisfied purse of his lips when Fuuta continues to sip.]
I'm not an easy guy to embarrass, no matter what it looks like. Are you sayin' I look immature? [An accusation he won't combat. Not because he tries to appear childish - it just doesn't matter what Fuuta thinks.] Everybody's got somethin' weird they like.
[He pauses, giving Fuuta another chance to drink.]
What about you? What's something you like that you shouldn't? [He doesn't actually expect an answer, but a flush of cheeks is just as good.]
no subject
Look, I don’t know what kinds of people you’ve been messing with in this place, but you’ve got the wrong target if you think I’m gonna go along with any of your bullshit.
[ He says, right before throwing down a big gulp of his drink, playing tough to try and emphasize his point. It’s fine, he figures; he’s not going to get drunk off something this weak. Fuuta clears his throat after swallowing, tongue tracing his lips to catch the tingling sensation lingering there, before resuming: ]
Some people here might be giving up on common sense, but I don’t care how insane this place is — I still know what’s right and wrong, what’s normal and not, and I am not losing track of any of that. I’m not into any weird shit, and even if I was, like hell I’m talking about any of that stuff in a place like this, in public, and especially not to someone like you.
[ There’s a belligerent confidence to his delivery, the sort of smug condescension unique to someone who’s sure they’re talking to someone worse than them, and Fuuta gives a brief huff. Then he throws back the rest of his cocktail before flagging down a nearby waiter and holding up the empty glass. ]
Another one of these. On the same tab.
no subject
Hopefully-
Charlie's lips form a faux surprised 'oh' when Fuuta rejects his question, like he's truly been spurned. The rest of his rant meets an unblinking stare; sickly eyes only move to watch the glass in Fuuta's hand.
Until it's empty.
He may have ordered Fuuta another himself, but the boy beats him to it. That brings a mote of genuine surprise to his features. The pleasant sort.] Do you think you're in the minority there? Being very normal and not doing anything 'wrong?'
I think you might be the only one here who's not into any weird shit! Kind of makes me feel sad for you - left out. [He's not chasing an ideal conclusion - Fuuta admitting a kink or insisting on a sense of public decency - just keeping the guy talking.
The next drink comes quickly, along with one of the small plates requested. They're delivered subtly, though Charlie turns his head mid-conversation to tell the server to check back soon.
Who knows when Fuuta will want his third drink?]
no subject
[ He caps off that statement by grabbing for the refill of his cocktail and going to take a swig of it -- only to pause after a sip, pulling the glass away from his mouth. Fuuta's expression tinges with some combination of surprise and confusion as he distractedly licks his lips. ... they feel tingly, for some reason. And a little hot? Did they make this drink stronger? The first one didn't taste this spicy, he thinks.
Charlie might notice it before Fuuta himself, the way his face is starting to flush a little redder, sweat starting to bead thinly at his temple. And though Fuuta tries to distract himself by putting down the glass and going for a bite of the food instead, that earns a similar confused double-take in reaction. ... why does his mouth feel so weird. Like everything feels a little too intense against his lips and tongue; he ends up chewing at his lip for a moment, eyes narrowed, before glaring back up at Charlie. ]
... 'sides, if you're gonna be asking someone something, shouldn't you talk about yourself, first? You gonna spill about all your weird hobbies in public?
[ Ugh, actually, he regrets saying that the moment the words leave his mouth. He'd just said the first thing that came to mind, wanting to put Charlie on the back foot, but something tells him the guy's not going to be fazed by the demand at all. ]
no subject
As if to confirm he has no pity to offer, Charlie shrugs.
He waits, then, while Fuuta takes another drink. Finger idly flipping the edge of his unused menu, he schools the interest that piques when his partner's demeanor shifts. In contrast to red cheeks, his tongue seems pale when it darts over his lips. Charlie keeps his in his mouth, impassive in the face of Fuuta's apparent confusion.
The drinks here are the fun type tonight, huh?
And so are Fuuta's questions - too quick to attempt a verbal assault, now he's put himself in a position he doesn't want to be in. Though, to be fair, maybe any position with Charlie is one Fuuta doesn't want.
He did ask for dinner though...]
Sure, why not! [Charlie is quick to indulge the inquiry precisely because he can tell Fuuta doesn't really want to hear it.] You already know I like to watch, but did you know that kissin' is my favorite?
You really eh... spoiled me last time. [Remember that kiss? He does.]
no subject
Wh -- I didn't -- shut up! Why the hell would I have -- ?!
[ Of course he'd raised his voice in indignation, but Fuuta shuts up the moment their water steps back over with an impeccably polite but frosty, 'Is there a problem, sirs?' Equal parts mortified and frustrated, he's silent for a moment before shaking his head, muttering something about 'no, no problem.' And right as the waiter starts stepping away, he hurriedly adds, 'I wanted another cocktail. The -- uh, something sweet. Anything's fine.'
He probably shouldn't be getting another drink already. He knows that, rationally. But the order had been in part because he needs something to wash that weird tingly feeling out of his mouth, and in part to get the waiter to step away. The moment the waiter has stepped out of earshot, Fuuta leans across the table to hiss, ]
That was only because of the game! Like hell I was doing anything to s-spoil you!
[ With that point made absolutely clear, he scrunches back down in his seat to angrily stuff a piece of meat in his mouth. His mouth still feels weird, the texture against his tongue making his nerves bristle, and it's a little slurred when he mumbles, ]
And you're a fucking weirdo, you know that. The hell was there to like about watching ... that. The shit you made me do. You just did that to humiliate me, I know you did.
sorry, getting back from mini hiatus!
When Fuuta turns back from damning himself with another drink, Charlie looks pretty fucking comfortable. His eyes dart between the retreating waitstaff and his table companion, as if implying something. What is that something? It doesn't matter, Fuuta will supply an answer to piss himself off.
It's so easy to wind him up - this is great!] So, hold on, I'm confused. [A hand raises, as if to halt Fuuta's bluster.]
You only gave me that long, sloppy, wonderful kiss because of the game. But, when I had you do those other guys some favors, it was about you? [A pause, his lips pursed impishly.] You're right.
But I think you might'a liked my attention, too.
I'll let you blame the string. I'll let you blame the alcohol tonight, too. [And he points to Fuuta's unfinished drink, silently prompting him to finish it up before the third is brought to the table.] And, I won't even humiliate you this time.
[His tongue flicks over his bottom lip, unblinking stare fixed on Fuuta. Foot tapping restlessly under the table, it's clear he's thinking of something more than a dinner date.]
no worries, glad to have you back!
Brain still occupied trying to think of a counterpoint to Charlie's statements, Fuuta automatically picks his drink up to drain it when it's pointed at, thumping the empty glass down with a little more force than was probably necessary as he snaps, ]
I-it's different, alright! You know what you did! And there's n-no way I'd want any attention from a creep like you!
[ -- god, he knows that's barely a defense at all, and he winces a little at the sound of his own words leaving his mouth. Especially because -- as he glowers across the table at Charlie, Fuuta realizes he's drooling a little, rendering his words wet and sloppy around the edges. He hurries to swipe at his mouth with the sleeve of his hoodie, brow scrunched in embarrassment and frustration. Whatever was in that drink's really getting to him by this point, his whole mouth feeling weirdly itchy for contact, and when the waiter approaches with his third drink -- a different cocktail this time, something pink and sugary-looking -- he barely waits for it to be put down before snatching it up to take a big gulp of it.
It does seem to soothe the tingling in his mouth a little bit. But as he feels the saccharine heat of it work its way down his throat, Fuuta realizes what Charlie had said. ]
... what do you mean 'this time.'
[ The anxious, suspicious look in his eyes is rather undermined by how flushed and worked-up he already looks, brow beaded with sweat and lips parted as his breaths come quicker. Despite his denials, his mind's quick to race down a path of what-ifs exploring what could happen from here, and the thought has heat starting to stir in the pit of his stomach. ]
ty ;u;
From his unbeating heart outwards, Charlie's blood feels warm.
A brief sensation he sometimes chases to endure, but right now, Charlie would rather continue to watch Fuuta wrap around himself with frustration. He gets messier and messier with every word, not only in his tone but- is that drool?
As Fuuta notices, Charlie raises a hand to his own mouth, mirroring the whisk of hoodie. All clean, for now.
Another kiss would fix that.Charlie's leg stills and he shifts in his seat, leaning to the opposite side.] What do you mean what do I mean? You called me! So, you've got my attention-
Which we've already established you enjoy. [Totally ignoring that pathetic protest earlier.] B-because of the alcohol. [Charlie adds quickly, hardly restrained from laughing while nodding to Fuuta as if trying to get him in on a bit.
As he talks, his leg extends, brushing the side of his shoe against the boy's ankle and lingering. He toys with the cuff of his pants, as if he could excuse this affection as idle fidgeting.] That shit's hittin' you hard, isn't it?
You sure you want the rest of it?
[The other two small plates, delivered from behind Fuuta's shoulder, clink to the table. They look as succulent as the last, and Charlie wonders if the fare is as fun as the drink tonight.]
no subject
A kiss really would fix a lot ...Too bad his pride keeps him from heeding that tendril of worry. After what Charlie put him through last time, there's no way he can just tuck his tail between his legs and scamper just because he feels a little weird? He's going to get his damn money's worth out of this meal! It'll be fine, he can soldier through whatever's making him feel like this! He's sure of it! ]
Nn -- [ Speaking takes a little effort when his mouth feels so weird, and he swallows thickly before managing to muster words. ] -- who said I enjoy attention. I just wanted a damn meal.
[ Even as he says that, though, he ends up squirming a little, heat pooling sticky through his guts. He doesn't, he's sure. He doesn't like being watched or anything, but ... maybe. Just a little ...
It's telling, too, that he doesn't recoil from Charlie's shoe nudging against his ankle, his increasingly-foggy brain failing to register that touch as more than a pleasant sensation working its way through his nerves. The next slide of Charlie's shoe against his calf earns a breathy exhale, and Fuuta shivers before muttering, ]
I'm fine? I dunno what you're talking about. I'm ... fine.
[ And while he doesn't take the rest of his drink yet, he does spitefully shove a forkful of one of the small plates in his mouth, face flushing hotter and eyes narrowing as he struggles with the flood of sensations spreading over his tongue. It's tasty, of course. But -- it's also not what he really wants right now, weirdly enough. He wants something else, he thinks. ]
no subject
But the way Fuuta works his mouth makes up for any delight lost in the tone of his voice. Charlie stares as his lips press together, then shudder. He curls his own inwards, pressing teeth into folding flesh as he considers...
Would he be able to eat tonight, too?
Would his 'food' be laced with the same shit Fuuta has injested, or would he just come away with the usual pleasant dull tingle a cocktail leaves?
Charlie's lips part, but he pauses before he speaks. Beneath the table, his shoe continues to caress Fuuta's calf after a notable lack of protest.]
What's wrong? Don't like how it tastes?
Do you want something else? [He voices the thought in Fuuta's head because its obvious what the boy wants. Even without all that squirming and color on his face - Charlie knows what the drinks do here.]
no subject
Fuuta's expression does tinge with a hint of indignity and anger at that realization, though he's still too paralyzed fighting against his own nerves to jerk away from the caress at his calf. And though sheer spite drives him to take another bite of his plate, he becoming very aware of the fact that he's fighting a losing battle here. Every bite, every sensation against his tongue has his nerves sparking, and the very act of swallowing earns a hard shudder; he wants more, but of something else. ]
That's not -- ... [ The attempt at a snapped retort cuts off as he has to swallow thickly to keep himself from drooling. Worse than that, even when he does look up from his plate to shoot Charlie a glare, his eyes automatically latch upon the other's lips, his brain quick to wonder how it'd feel to get to kiss him again.
The last time they'd kissed had felt wonderful, after all. And that had been without anything in his system. How good would it feel now? To feel teeth against his lips, tongue on tongue, that slick sensation against nerves rendered so sensitive they're practically tingling ...
He'd been staring at Charlie for a moment, almost dazed in his mounting arousal, and it takes visible effort when Fuuta abruptly stands. It takes even more of a struggle for him to declare, blearily, ] 'm going to the bathroom.
[ Too bad his knees practically give out with the first step he takes, his shoulders hunched as he ends up stumbling, needing to lean heavily against the table to keep from just spilling to the floor. And mortifyingly, the front of his sweatpants are tented visibly, a fact he desperately tries to hide by shoving down the hem of his hoodie. Oh, this is bad. ]
no subject
With eyes on his lips, Charlie makes no effort to dampen his own eagerness. Top lip curls over teeth, worried beneath before his mouth simply hangs, open slightly. Lips parted, his tongue visibly toys behind his incisor - clear desire even without the haze of addled alcohol.
But what Charlie wants is blood.
The risk that Fuuta's vitae will afflict him similarly presents a small challenge, but... if the boy works through his frustration, the potency of the drug should diminish. Conclusion reinforced by the strength of Charlie's lust, rather than logic, his fingers curl one by one, slowly, against the table.
Impatient. But not so much as his dinner date. Charlie's brow raises, overstated surprise, when Fuuta stands abruptly. He mirrors the move, his watch lighting up to deduct chips for their meal. Typically, Charlie uses a little mind trick to get free or discounted checks, but his ledger is far from his mind.]
Yeah, I bet you are- [With no discretion whatsoever, Charlie looks pointedly from Fuuta's erection to his face.] -but it looks like you need some help gettin' there. [Running curved knuckles along the edge of the table, Charlie closes the distance between them to grab the boy's bicep. Supportive, but trapping, he pulls Fuuta away from the table and into another stride.
Once they're moving, he leans down to speak quietly - too loud to be a whisper - in his ear.] You'll wanna move quick, or more people are gonna see you like this.
no subject
Then that grab at his arm jolts him back to his senses, while scaring a strangled squeak out of him. ]
Y-yeah, I know? [ He hurriedly looks away from the rest of the restaurant, ducking closer to Charlie as he shies away from those stares. ] I'm -- moving. I'm moving.
[ He sure is! But poorly.
Fuuta barely manages a few steps away from their table and towards the exit before his posture starts to crumble. It doesn't help, either, that his mind keeps being drawn to that hand gripped around his arm -- thinking about how good that squeeze feels, about how nice it'd be to feel more of it, and elsewhere, over more of his body. By the time they cross the threshold out into the halls of the resort, Fuuta's leaning heavily against Charlie just to stay upright, his steps wobbly and his free hand raked into Charlie's clothes to keep the other close.
-- his head's spinning so bad. It feels like his blood's boiling, his heart beating way too fast. And Fuuta can barely get the words out when he lets his head sink against Charlie's arm and mumbles, ]
... this is all your fault. You better -- take responsibility.
fuuta continues to be really cute
[He's not the only one. Charlie can feel the thrum of Fuuta's pulse beneath his grip. His hold tightens, constricting bloodflow to feel arteries swell. Tongue darting over his lips, Charlie reminds himself of the effects Fuuta is experiencing.
He's not the most patient man.
With quickening strides, Charlie guides his wobbly companion to the door of a luxurious washroom. There he stops; the heat from Fuuta's forehead nestling into him is shock to his resolve. A pause follows as Charlie's other arm rises to fold around Fuuta's shoulders in something almost like a hug. Holding the boy close, he leans down.] You wanted to go to the bathroom, right?
[Now with one hand planted on the shoulder opposite his initial grip, Charlie abruptly shoves Fuuta through the large wooden door and into the lobby. Couches line three of the four walls, the fourth a large multi-paneled mirror. Past the sitting room a line of floor to ceiling stalls await whatever business a cherished resort guest could have.
Charlie drops Fuuta onto a couch, immediately leaning down over him. If the boy continues to cling, he won't try to disconnect.] You said you want me to take care of that for you, right? Or do you want me to find you a playmate? [This is a genuine offer as much as it is goading to get Fuuta to ask for something he so clearly wants.]
charlie brings out his best qualities 😳
Even when they step into the bathroom he doesn't relent, barely aware that they've reached their destination. It's only when he's shoved onto the couch that his mouth comes away from that sodden fold of fabric, lips damp and parted as he pants for air, and Fuuta just stares blearily up at Charlie for a moment before his brain arduously catches up. ]
Nnh ... no, I just --
[ A low groan as he looks around, catching sight of the stalls off to the side. Right, right. He wanted to get to the bathroom so he could jerk off. Maybe if he could get himself off a few times, it'd shake off the effect of those cocktails? Except now the prospect of only having his own hand to comfort himself sounds agonizing, and Fuuta groans before shaking his head. ]
Someone else. [ He says that, but backtracks almost immediately afterward -- hands winding desperately into Charlie's clothes to keep him close, before he can step away. Because the thought of having to lie here, waiting, for however long Charlie takes to find someone -- if he even would find someone, instead of just leaving him -- is genuinely agonizing. And besides, what if Charlie finds someone awful? Even worse than him? ] -- no. No, it's fine. I don't need any playmate.
[ 'Tell him to fuck off,' the tiny remaining rational part of his mind shrieks at him. 'Tell him to fuck off. Tell him to go away. Add this to his tab and tell him to fuck off.' Except what Fuuta manages to choke out after a long moment is: ]
-- k -- ... kiss me.
[ There's no coming back from how desperate it ends up sounding, slurred and wet around the edges. ]
no subject
So when he demands a kiss, Charlie's smile sharpens. There's a hum, soft and satisfied, in his throat as his Adam's apple bobs in a dry swallow. He'll indulge without hesitation, the dim reminder that Fuuta's blood would taste better than his drool tucked away from his mind.]
Sure... [He wonders if Fuuta will have the sense to demand that Charlie owes him for the pleasure, but that curiosity only leaves his shoulders shrugging - duly amused - as he presses his lips into Fuuta's. The connection is anything but chaste.
Charlie's quick to open his mouth, dragging hot, slick flesh beneath between his lips. He leaves his own spit beneath, no care spared to make this an idyllic tease or romantic affection. He's greedy, just like last time, tongue pressing into Fuuta's mouth to brush along the boy's.
It's so fucking warm, the acrid bite of lingering liquor hardly occurs to him as he shifts farther into his partner. Charlie perches his knee on the bench to Fuuta's side and presses his hand to the boy's collar bone to steady himself. That he can feel searing blood pump from Fuuta's chest beneath his palm is a bonus.
Intoxicatingly so.
He groans, a sound someone more within their senses could identify as want, the vibration in his throat captured in their mouths.]
no subject
Like hell he can pull back now that he's being given what he desperately wants.
Just the crush of lips against his own sends electricity racing down his spine, earning a hard jolt; the wet drag of Charlie's tongue pressing against his is almost too much to take. Fuuta meets the kiss blearily at first before giving as good as he gets, leaning in to drag his teeth against Charlie's lip. And when he feels that hand press against his chest, that light pressure making his nerves light up, he nips harder on reflex. Almost hard enough to break through skin.
Enough to leave a little tender spot when he pulls back, only because his lungs are aching for air. Fuuta gasps, chest heaving, as he breaks the kiss, though his fingers remain insistently tangled into Charlie's clothes; with how scrambled his thoughts are between the alcohol and whatever his drinks were spiked with and now that kiss on top, it takes him far too long to find any words. ]
This -- this is all your fault. Alright. 's not my fault. It's not.
[ It's said with as much grit as he can muster while breathless and bleary, one hand twisting harder into Charlie's clothes. The other shamefully, guiltily, slips under the waistband of his sweatpants so he can paw at himself. The sort of thing he'd never do in public, except he feels like his heart's going to explode if he doesn't immediately address the maddening heat in his veins. It's equal parts desperate, demanding and furious when Fuuta yanks at Charlie's clothes to demand another kiss; it's all he needs to push himself over the edge, he thinks, then surely he'll be able to calm down a bit. ]
no subject
A bit spills, dripping onto the boy's pantleg.
Charlie's tongue hangs over his bottom lip, retracting slowly. Disappointed in his partner's need to breathe, he stares duly into Fuuta's hazy eyes.]
Yeah...? And so I'm takin' care of you... [Charlie's voice is soft, not the whisper of a man attempting subtlety, but damningly affectionate. For all his bluster, for the deficit to his chips he insists on causing, Charlie's fond of this guy. Because his blood must be delicious. Because he's a greedy kisser. Because he's so easy to wind up.
Simple reasons.
Taking care of him is simple, too.
One hand remains on Fuuta's chest and the other descends, fingers trailing lightly along the folds of a too-baggy hoodie until they meet his wrist. He wraps his grip around the slim joint, but rather than tug the boy's hand away he lets his digits travel down his palm to replace his grasp on his cock. There'll be no arguing that Charlie 'owes him' for this one.
When Fuuta demands another kiss, Charlie of course reciprocates, though after a few nips and squelches of tongue against tongue, he nudges the boy's face aside. His lips travel over flushed jaw, tracing towards neck. At the base of Fuuta's ear, he pauses. Not yet. That shit's still in this guy's system.
With a quiet groan, Charlie brings his hand up from Fuuta's chest to grab his face and tilt it back towards him for another kiss.]

Then he feels that hand tracing down his wrist, grazing against his palm for a moment before wrapping around his cock. The unnatural chill of Charlie's skin does earn a start and a jump, Fuuta's legs giving a startled jolt from the unexpected sensation of it, a confused grunt stifled at the back of his throat.
Whatever hesitation that surprise had merited is easily squelched, though, the moment those fingers squeeze.
Even cold, the touch of another's skin always feels drastically different from one's own. And riled up as he is by the drinks' influence, Fuuta's in no position to turn down that tantalizing stimulation. It barely takes a few deft movements before he's squirming and tensing against the couch so hard that the cushion squeak softly in protest. And when Charlie rewards him that kiss he'd demanded, that's all that's needed to push him over the edge. It's a relatively paltry amount of stimulation, something he'd be mortified to be climaxing from under normal circumstances, but there's no room in his brain for such notions at the moment -- right now, all that matters is that the feel of teeth grazing over his lip and tongue swiping against tongue feels good enough to wipe his thoughts clean, and Fuuta comes messily over Charlie's hand with a choked moan.
It's a climax that hits sudden and hard, enhanced several times over by whatever's in his system, and Fuuta shudders against the couch as he works through the waves of pleasure, rapidly starting to go limp against the cushions as his field of vision spins.
-- fuck. This really isn't how he'd thought this evening would go. ]

When had he decided he wanted to taste him tonight? Charlie doesn't remember, but the greed persists. Even if it won't be satisfied-
Charlie sneers into their kiss. It's subtle - easy to miss when one is completely enshrouded in their own pleasure. Fuuta's blood would be delightful any day, but the taste of blood at the height of climax is a pleasure Charlie hadn't indulged in until his visit to the Casino. There's a certain sweetness to that moment, and he realizes as it passes him by - polluted by aphrodisiac - that he would have enjoyed the flavor.
Ah well. Next time.
Tongue working over Fuuta's forcefully, as if he could pin the boy's organ in his own mouth, Charlie continues to yank seed from his partner until he gets the sense he's only smearing it around. He brushes his palm against the back of Fuuta's hand, sloppily half-cleaning himself before he removes his hand entirely.
And then he releases Fuuta's jaw to place that hand - steadying - on his shoulder. Looking down at him, he's a mess. Is he going to pass out? Charlie's lips pop apart, quiet but audible in the silent lobby.] Huh.
How you feelin' now? Better? [Unintentionally, idly, his thumb strokes at the fabric beneath it curving over Fuuta's shoulder. Affection.]
