Ansel followed Lucio back out to the sand and made himself comfortable, enjoying the way Lucio tucked himself against his side and lay with him, staring up into the stars. The soft sounds of Lucio's munching mixed nicely with his own and the melodious notes of the water gently caressing the sand just a few feet away from their toes. They lay out there for a while, mostly in silence, sometimes with Lucio or Ansel making a soft comment and pressing sweet kisses against one another's skin. As the professor's high was finally at its end, he was about to suggest they cuddle up close and rest for the night, ready to start the new day with his lover, when his thoughts were interrupted by the sound of a pretty blonde boy screeching into their ears.<br/><br/>Cassio, as Ansel could have correctly predicted, seemed rather perturbed by Lucio's actions, and perhaps he had a point. Now that Ansel was no longer feeling the effects of the ecstasy, his logical mind returned to him, scolding him for allowing himself to go that far. Ansel was an exhibitionist and a risk taker; he enjoyed the possibility of being caught, he liked feeling eyes on his back while he fucked. But they were just kids. Only a few years younger than Lucio himself, sure, but kids nonetheless, and they hadn't asked to be subjected to his and Lucio's passionate lovemaking. Looking at the situation though that lens, Ansel could understand why Cassio was irate. Although Ansel didn't really care whether Cassio hated him or not, he didn't want to be the cause of any negativity between Lucio and his brothers.<i>I'll have to figure out a way to make this right</i>, Ansel thought lightly, though Cassio's continued line of questioning irked him.<br/><br/>Lucio came to his defense, coolly telling his brother, correctly, that Ansel was his boyfriend, not a client, but that didn't seem to assuage any of the fury that lined Cassio's sullen face. The brothers continued to snap back at one another until the middle child, Griffith, approached and added new fuel to the fire by pinpointing Lucio's altered state. His lover laughed it off, as Ansel would have expected, but he certainly didn't see the possibility of Lucio pulling him into the conversation as he did. Although he wasn't excited at the prospect of dealing with Lucio's brothers, he thought he should at least attempt to make the best of the situation.<br/><br/>"No, sweetness, I would never do that," Ansel replied gently, pressing a kiss to his sweetheart's forehead before turning his attention back to Lucio's siblings. "Cassio, Griffith, your brother is an adult and can do as he pleases, which includes putting anything, and anyone, into his body. However, I'll take responsibility for this as it seems to have bothered you both. They were my drugs. I asked Lucio if he wanted to do them with me, and he agreed. But please understand, I love your brother very much, and I would never give him anything that would hurt him or put his life in danger. He means the world to me; I only wanted to share a unique experience with him."<br/><br/>He sighed gently, hoping that his words were acceptable to the boys, at least enough that it wouldn't ruin the rest of their romantic weekend. "Your brother most likely would not have engaged in such lewd behavior were he not high. So if you're truly interested in blaming anyone for our display, you're welcome to blame me. It seems I am perhaps not the best influence. " Ansel laughed, unable to hold back his amusement during his quasi-apology. He still didn't really care whether Griffith or Cassio liked him, but they shouldn't have been mad at Lucio.<br/><br/>"So, everyone okay now? Can we continue on with our weekend without being at one another's throats?"
