Chapter Text
Shien's descent to drunkenness was quick, quicker than most people he'd seen. One can had him already discarding his coat and his scarf, and unbuttoning the first few buttons of his shirt.
And judging by the sound of the can being set down on the table, it was still probably half full.
"Hey, Izuru-san, are you sure you're really drinking?" Shien slurred, inching closer and squinting at Izuru's face. "Is that really alcoholic?"
"Of course it is!?" Izuru's voice came out more defensive than he intended it to be. "You wanna see for yourself?"
He pushed his almost empty can in front of Shien, who didn't even spare it a glance. Only then was he aware that Shien hadn't taken his eyes off of him... And there was a shadow of a smirk on his lips. Shien inched closer again, until they were almost nose to nose.
"I can see for myself?" He repeated in a whisper, and they were close enough for Izuru to smell sickly sweet smell of fruit-flavored alcohol in his breath.
Was the sudden heat he felt on his face because of the alcohol, or something else?
"Do whatever you want."
"Then, open your mouth, Izuru-san."
No sooner had he parted his lips did he feel Shien's lips over his own, his tongue exploring inside his mouth. Izuru closed his eyes as he let Shien set the pace; he felt Shien's hand cup his cheeks and tilt his head ever so slightly to deepen the kiss.
It was Shien who pulled away first. "Ah, I forgot that I was supposed to check if you were really drinking!" His smirk did not look sorry at all. "Can I try again, Izuru-san?"
Izuru let out a barking laugh as he pulled him closer, still catching his breath. "You idiot, then try as much as you want."
