βhmm, letβs head there then.β
he smirked before he started walking down there to the others with elioβs hand still in his, beginning to dance on the way down.
he was loving everything about this night, considering not too long ago he couldnβt wait for it to be over.
he downed what was left in his glass before he lifted himself up with elioβs support. +
the question had slipped out so quickly, one of those moments where he spoke before he thought. needless to say he was pleasantly surprised when levi actually agreed to dance with him.
he brought his drink to his lips and drank it probably way too quickly, just eager to +
party dance but donβt expect top tier dancing, i am a drummer.β
he joked with a chuckle, but he nodded his head. βiβd love to dance.β even if it has to be like two straight dudes.
he noticed the little water droplets, but he didnβt want to pay too much attention, instead he continued to sip his drink.
he was surprised when he asked if he wanted to dance, turning to face him. βi mean, i love a good +
"mhm. yeah, i should be giving you a tip actually." he chuckled, licking his lips. the condensation on the bottom of the glass was making small water droplets drip on his black t-shirt, but he didn't care.
his eyes followed where levi's went, watching as people danced. elio +
he sat himself back comfortably again, taking a few sips from his own with a content smile.
βpleased to say suddenly this party got a whole lot better.β he said confidently, looking towards a group of people dancing as he did.
he watched as he tried it, grinning even more once he saw he enjoyed it. βohh so itβs elio approved then? phew, donβt want to get fired on my first shift.β
he pretended to wipe sweat from his forehead, chuckling before +
when levi was making his way back, elio diverted his gaze a bit. he couldn't just keep staring at him the whole time, he was sure that would leave a weird impression and that was the last thing he wanted.
only when levi sat beside him again did he look back up, a bright +
this time he could really take him in on his walk back, deliberately taking his time before he sat back beside him, holding out his glass to him.
βand, thatβs your one right here.β heβs grinning as he passes it to him.
he made their drinks, deciding to make himself the same as he glanced back over into the direction he knew slip was in.
three deep breaths before picking up the now full glasses and he was making his way back. +
elio's breath hitched in his throat when levi's finger brushed against his, a feeling that caught him off guard. it seemed like he was going to need this moment to regain composure as well, because he was way too affected by every little thing levi did or said.
it's a good +
he winked before he turned himself around, now making his way to where all the drinks were, bopping his head to the music in the background as a way to distract his brain.
donβtlookback. donβtlookback. donβtlookback. he didnβt.
he moved to stand himself up, reaching out his hand to take the empty glass, unintentionally brushing his finger against his as he did.
he bit harder on the inside of his cheek, picking up his own. βanother mojito, on it.β +
ever since they started talking, the rest of the party just faded into the background. even the music sounded like a blur somehow, he hadn't felt anything quite like this before.
being offered another drink made him smile; elio couldn't lie, he loved being treated like +
he responded, biting the inside of his cheek as he finally looked away to their glasses.
βi can get us another drink if you like? pick your poison.β he just needed a moment to regain himself. he wasnβt used to being flustered.
he caught the color change in elioβs cheeks too, and he was wondering the same thing. his lips stretched into a grin, eyes literally have not left the blonde once since they started talking.
βthat can be arranged.β +
he noticed the change of color on levi's cheeks, but he didn't think too much of it. it was also pretty warm in here, and the alcohol surely had its effect too. yeah, that must be it.
"unhinged? oh, i'm gonna need more drinks." he grinned, glancing at their arms as levi +
he wanted to look at his arm, but he held off on it and instead he continued to remain confident.
βthe many moods of levi . . hmm, i think youβll get my unhinged side. thatβs the real me. β he moved his arm up now, nudging his.
when elio reached out to fix a strand of his hair he swears his heart jumped straight out of his mouth, but he was trying not to make it obvious.
his cheeks did flush slightly, but he played it off with a small chuckle. +
without thinking twice, he reached out to fix a strand of hair that fell in front of levi's face, then lowering his hand to rest it on the back of the couch like nothing happened.
"uh huh. out of everyone at this party i chose you," he teased, but it was true, wasn't it? +
it so it didnβt seem so obvious. he didnβt even know if elio liked boys.
βwait you are right . . . i am the chosen one, woahβ lucky me.β he did a little happy dance in his seat.
βohhh unfiltered levi, how you are missed right now.β he said with a huff, sorting out his hair for a moment with a chuckle. βdonβt worry, you wonβt get no golden boy with me.β
he was flirting, but he was under toning +
elio wasn't sure if levi was flirting too or just being playful- surely the latter, but he enjoyed it either way. "yay, so i get unfiltered levi? i'm excited. that's the best way to get to know someone."
he brought the straw to his lip to take another sip of his drink. +
