Lucio settled down into the beautiful car quietly and almost immediately he was bombarded with memories of Wednesday evening. A smile flirted with his lips at the thought of it but he chose not to bring it up. If at all possible he wished to avoid the topic of sex today at all costs, though he doubted he's be able to given his company. Any other time the thought of reminiscing about the night, torturing his dear professor with the fresh resurgence of memories would have been enjoyable. Today he wanted to steer clear from the topic and idea of having sex if at all possible.<br/><br/>Lucio gazed out the window quietly for the entirety of the ride, though he held Ansel's hand loosely as their arms rested together on the center console. The drive was quiet, comfortably so, with a soft bit of music playing in the background. Lucio couldn't deny that he enjoyed driving with Ansel. Something about simply existing next to the man, their fingers interlaced and the world slipping past them outside, unaware of the beautiful pair within the machine, was simply delightful.<br/><br/>When they arrive at the building Lucio examined it curiously before they descended into the parking lot. He pursed his lips thoughtfully at the finery of it. He found himself wondering if Ansel came from old money, or if him and his sister had separately found their ways into wealth. He promptly decided that it was not exactly a polite question, however, especially under the circumstances. Perhaps another time.<br/><br/>He glanced over at Ansel as they parked, smiling faintly at the man and then watching as he hopped out of the car and hurried over to his side. Lucio unbuckled and stepped out once his door was opened for him. He then followed Ansel up to Johanna's apartment, trying his damnedest to make sure that his gait didn't seem of or reveal the amount of pain he was actually in. The boy turned to face Ansel without quarrel once they arrived and for a moment the pain faded away as he gazed at his lovely professor. He stared into his eyes with longing held within his own, his expression soft and filled with an obvious affection for the man in front of him. He didn't have time to say much of anything before Ansel grabbed a hold of him and pulled him in for a passionate kiss. Luckily the liplock distracted him from the stagger pain he felt as Ansel's fingers dug into his bruised waist, or else he might have just fainted right there. As it was he saw stars dance in front of him and his visage turned slightly pale. He still smiled, however, and nodded at the following statement from Ansel.<br/><br/>Any other day that prospect would have sounded beyond delightful. To spend the night with Ansel, at his own place, was a delightful idea. But, unfortunately, This evening having to endure any more sex sounded absolutely horrific. Though if Ansel wasn't drunk enough Lucio doubted he'd even touch him once he saw all of the bruises that marred his beautiful body. Even if he was absolutely wasted the sight of such damage to his beloved might disturb him enough to turn him off. That would be pleasant, for a moment, until Ansel grew to understand where the marks had come from. He pushed these thoughts away however and managed to smile up at the professor, nodding slightly to convey his understanding before accepting one last quick peck before they turned and made their way inside, still loosely holding hands.<br/><br/>Lucio's eyes widened slightly as they entered the condo. It was filled with multitudes of gorgeous, obviously well-to-do people. Lucio had never seen so many beautiful faces amassed in one room aside from at his brothers photoshoots and other high end events such as galas and red carpets where everybody was made up almost to a fault<br/><br/>The boy stepped back slightly as a woman suddenly rushed Ansel. One who he could only assume was Ansel's sister. The first thing that came to his mind when he saw here was the fact that the von Essen parents had blessed the world with their couplings. His mind was yanked from this train of thought, however, when Johanna noticed him standing there behind Ansel. The student stepped forward as he was prompted and he smiled warmly at Johanna, reaching forwards to grip her hand firmly and give it more or less professional shake. "It's a pleasure to finally meet you, love," he said sweetly, a charming smile gracing his beautiful features.<br/><br/>He laughed softly then at her offer to tell some embarrassing stories to keep the party lively. "If he starts lecturing us on psychopathy versus sociopathy I'll be sure to come fetch you. That topic is most certainly a mood killer," he answered lightheartedly, flashing a grin over at Ansel.
