The night had gone better than expected. Lucio had nearly charmed the pants off of a majority of Ansel's party guests, he'd gotten to enjoy some particularly yummy foods and nice champagnes, and Ansel had enjoyed the gift he'd offered him more than Lucio could have ever hoped. The kiss they had shared after the professor had opened his final gift had been intense and it left all of the party-goers gawking, including Ansel's sister. Some had been disgusted, other's delighted, and others undeniably aroused, but all had been staring at the pair with slack jaws and widened eyes by the time they'd broken apart.<br/><br/>Now the large condo was empty, and it felt oddly quiet after the constant hum of idle chatter that had filled it earlier in the evening. Lucio was on his feet along with Johanna, as he'd insisted on helping clean up at least a little bit before they decided what to do for the night. He listened quietly to the siblings conversation as he helped Johanna gather up glasses that had been left scattered about the living space, and he then proceeded to begin rinsing them out and setting them into the dish washer. He stepped into the area where Ansel laid out upon the couch quietly, wiping his fingers lightly on a slightly dampened rag he'd placed over his shoulder in case he found any spills throughout the condo.<br/><br/>He glanced over at Johanna as she asked him about his state of being and he smiled warmly. "Oh, I feel just fine love. I only had two glasses of champagne and I drank them quite slowly, I've not even developed a buzz," he assured her gently before his gaze wandered over to his drunken lover. He smiled faintly at the mans slumped over, relaxed stance and he shook his head slightly in amusement. Ansel had managed to achieve a heavy buzz on their first night together, but he was nowhere near drunk. Lucio would say that he'd effectively crossed that line by his eighth glass of bourbon, but at least he seemed content at that moment.<br/><br/>"We can leave whenever you'd like, my love. I've got your gifts all placed in bags by the door and we should be able to carry them all down to the car without an issue," he said softly as he stared fondly at Ansel whilst he lazed on the couch.<br/><br/>It wasn't long before the pair decided to depart, Lucio was hoping that Ansel was so inebriated that they'd just get home and go to bed but he had a feeling that the man was a horny drunk instead of a sleepy one. Lucio decided to forego the handshake with Johanna and he went in for a gentle hug, smiling as he murmured, "Thank you very much for having me, love. The party was delightful." He stepped back after yhe words were spoken, releasing her and smiling warmly before he turned and moved to pick up some of the bags he'd laid out while Ansel bid her goodbye as well.
