Azriel had just found an empty room where he could be alone after getting away from the party at the Forest House, when suddenly the door burst open. Standing in the entrance was none other than Eris Vanserra himself.
Taking a closer look at the male, Azriel could see that Eris’s eyes were glazed over meaning that he was more than likely drunk.
“Az…Azriel?” Eris slurred, stumbling forward into the room and shutting the door behind him.
Azriel was too stunned to answer at first, shocked that Eris would let himself get this drunk. Azriel would never admit it, but seeing Eris in this disgruntled and drunken state was making Azriel feel more attracted to the male than he already was.
“Eris, what are you doing here?” Azriel wanted to know why Eris had come here or all places.
“Was look…looking for you.” Eris’s words were slurred and Eris looked like he might fall over at any moment.
“Why?” Azriel asked again, confused and curious.
Instead of answering Eris just walked, well stumbled, closer to Azriel. What Eris did next shocked Azriel to his bones. Eris stopped only once he was right in front of Azriel, then without warning he grabbed the collar of Azriel’s tunic, pulled the male down, and kissed him.
For a moment Azriel didn’t react but a whine from Eris had Azriel kissing him back.
When Eris broke the kiss Azriel stumbled back still in shock. Eris, on the other hand, giggled which came as a great shock to Azriel. He had never heard Eris laugh before let alone giggle.
Eris must have realized, even in his drunken state, that Azriel was not nearly as amused by the kiss as he was.
“Did I do something wrong?” Eris’s voice sounded clearer now.
For whatever reason Azriel decided that he didn’t want this to end, didn’t want Eris to leave.
“No,” Azriel said hurriedly, “I was just shocked that’s all.”
“Oh,” Eris didn’t sound convinced. “I’m sorry if I was too straight forward. I’ve been wanting to do that for a while.”
Now Azriel was even more confused, he was sure or at least had been sure that Eris absolutely hated him. “What do you mean?” Azriel asked gently.
“Well,” Eris hiccuped, “I think you’re pretty. Yes that was it, you so pretty especially when you’re mad.” Eirs finished with a smile.
The smile was another thing, Azriel didn’t think he had ever seen Eris smile let alone at him. Azriel couldn’t help himself; he smiled back.
“Oh really you think I’m pretty?” Azriel asked Eris, his voice teasing.
Eris giggled again and Azriel could have listened to the sound over and over. “Of course. Why would I not?” Eris said.
“Nevermind,” Azriel told him.
“Can I do it again?” Eris asked, catching Azriel off guard.
“Can you do what again?” Azriel asked, still thinking about how amazing it was to hear Eris laugh.
“Can I…” Eris trailed off sounding shy. “Can I kiss you again?” This last part was asked in a whisper.
Azriel didn’t even hesitate before answering, “Of course.”
This time when Eris moved closer to Azriel, he wasn’t confused. He knew what he wanted: to kiss Eris because one time was obviously not enough.
Azriel initiated the kiss, leaning down so that he could more easily kiss Eris. At first the kiss was slow, both of them seeming to not want to ruin the moment. After a few seconds though, Azriel felt Eris’s tongue brush his lips as if waiting for permission.
Azriel opened his mouth allowing Eri;s tongue to slip in. Eris playfully flicked his tongue across the inside of Azriel’s mouth.
Azriel let Eris’s tongue roam his mouth for a few more seconds before he broke the kiss. Azriel almost immediately kissed Eris again, this time slipping his own tongue into the other male’s mouth. He ran his tongue over Eris’s teeth then over the roof of his mouth. There was nothing better, Azriel decided, than kissing Eris.
They stayed like this just feeling and tasting the other’s mouth, taking turns over whose tongue would be in whose mouth, for another three to five minutes.
Then the kiss broke and they were both left gasping for breath. Azriel only then looked down and saw that he had gotten hard, he felt his face heat.
Azriel looked back at Eris, sure that the male would slip back to his old self and tease Azriel about it. But it seemed as if Eris hadn’t even noticed because his eyes had glazed over and he was swaying on his feet.
“Eris?” Azriel said, reaching out to steady him. “Are you alright?”
“Tired,” Eris’s voice was once again slurred as Azriel realized that he had entirely forgotten that Eris was drunk.
“Alright,” Azriel said and moved to put an arm around Eris’s waist.
Once Azriel was sure that Eris wasn’t going to fall over and could walk mostly on his own, Azriel started to lead him towards the bed near the back of the room.
Eris practically collapsed onto the bed once Azriel stopped supporting him. Azriel helped Eris remove his boots and climb under the covers.
Once Eris seemed comfortable, Azriel turned to leave. “Stay.” Eris’s soft voice pleaded from behind Azriel.
Azriel turned around ready to protest but when he saw the pleadin look in Eris’s eyes he felt his resolve crumbling.
“Just for now but I’ll leave after you fall asleep, alright?” Azriel knew how bad it would be if either of them were caught together. He knew how bad Eris’s father, Beron, could be.
“Yeah that fine,” Eris murmured, “just…wan’...you…here…now.” Eris yawned and Azriel found himself smiling once again at the male he had once hated so greatly.
“Alright,” Azriel said, “well scooch over.” Eris did so and Azriel lowered himself onto the bed and got under the covers.
“Hmm,” Eris sighed, happy that Azriel was lying next to him. Then without warning Eris snuggled up against Azriel catching him completely off guard not for the first time that night.
Azriel laughed softly and shifted as to get more comfy. Without thinking much of it, Azriel placed a soft kiss atop Eris's red hair before resting his head against Eris’s own.
I’ll only stay here for a moment, Azriel told himself but even as he thought this he felt himself drifting off. Before long both males were asleep, Azriel not sticking to his earlier promise. This was most definitely the best sleep both Eris and Azriel would ever have.
