Ryu was pleased with himself, he made a meal he craved from back home. It turned out well, despite a lack of kitchen in Alex’s trailer. And as a bonus Alex enjoyed it too. He was feeling good, searching for something in Alex's few cabinets.

Alex stepped outside, stretched and patted his satisfied belly. He was raring to training, that’s how good he felt.

“I brought something to top the evening off.” Alex remembered Ryu saying. So instead of pulling out his makeshift weights, he opened his two camper seats next to his trailer. He wasn’t sure what Ryu meant, but he seemed excited about it. Maybe some sweets?

Ryu stepped out with cups and a bag in hand.

“Here.” Ryu handed Alex a clear glass from Alex’s cabinet, leaving a clean mug for himself.

He moved the other seat close to Alex and pulled out of his bag a bottle of sake. Alex looked blankly at it.

“Is that liquor—” His voice trailed off. Of course it was.

“Maybe you’ll like it.” Ryu coaxed Alex to extend his cup. He poured a generous helping.

“Is it really alright if I...“ again Alex stopped himself. Ryu could see some red on his cheeks. Grinning, he poured one for himself.

“I think it’s fine this one time. It’s starting to get chilly, and this will warm you up.”

Alex looked at his glass, resisting the urge to take a whiff, then gulped it down. Ryu joined him.

“Wha—“ Alex hunched over, coughing. Ryu suppressed a chuckle as he slapped Alex on the back.

Laughter echoed against the trailer, Ryu’s laughter.

“Whoa there,” Alex caught Ryu who threw himself onto his big arms. “I think you’ve had enough.”

“And you haven’t. Come on, drink up…!” Ryu offered his mug.

“I think 2 helpings was enough for me,” Alex felt Ryu’s chest push against him. “…I’m plenty warm.”

Ryu chuckled against him, Alex could feel his wet breath against his collarbone. The arm that held him up relaxed, stroking Ryu’s side. Yeah, he’s really warming up now.

“I didn’t see you as a funny drunk.” Alex lifted Ryu face to his to get a good look. Ryu’s face was flushed red, his eyes soft. Nothing like his hardened jaw and sharp eyes that would pierce into him.

“I didn’t get to see you drunk at all…!”

“Oh, I’m feelin’ it, trust me.” His fingertips swirled along Ryu’s hip. “It’s more Down There than in my head.”

Ryu ran his hand from Alex’s knee to his inner thigh, massaging the thick muscle close to his crotch.

“Here?” Ryu’s mouth teasingly wavered close to Alex’s, not allowing them to touch.

Alex growled in response, lunging his hips into his hand.

“Yeah.” His lips tried to chase him back, but Ryu pulled away, eyelids low.

“Let’s go inside.” Ryu mouthed, barely a whisper.

Alex couldn’t help but grin at this Ryu. He enjoyed how he fawned over him like this. Maybe he should bring liquor with dinner more often.

“You're not gonna fall asleep on me, are you?” Alex teased.

“Of course not.” Ryu scoffed. In retaliation he added, “Only if you bore me.”

Alex got up, swinging Ryu over his shoulder. Ryu’s mug fell to the ground.

“Hey…!”

Alex smacked Ryu on the ass. Ryu yelped.

“'Keep being feisty like that and you won’t be sleeping all night.” Alex shot back with a smirk.
