Alex felt the heat creep to his face, feeling the hot sting of rejection in his chest. He looked away from Sage, frowning. Fuck. He was making an absolute fool of himself; he could hardly handle his alcohol and now he'd made a pass on someone he was genuinely interested in and got rejected.<br/><br/>When Alex glances back he was surprised by the brush of fingers on his skin and he gave a shiver, leaning his head back the slightest bit as if to invite sage to do whatever he wanted. One of Alex's hands wondered to rest on Sage's thighs and his breath cought in his throat, the contact far too brief for his longing.<br/><br/>"Hmmm..." Alex let out, tapping a finger against his glass. His face was still flushed but his embarrassment was chases away by Sage's promising words. "I suppose I can forgive you." He said begrudgingly, glancing away and trying to compose himself.<br/><br/>"I'll be sure to keep that in mind though should I find I actually have a free moment. Whenever that might be...can I ask you another favor?"
