Mathias smiled as Victor laughed, realizing that it was the first time he ever heard the man laugh. He chuckled a little as the laughter continued. His expression was one of 'thank god, I did something right today.'<br/><br/>"Laughing is better than crying...yeah. But even crying has its place in stress relief." He leaned over and grabbed the menu for room service, looking at it, but still listening to Victor.<br/><br/>"Alright, I'll figure out something to order..." His stomach churned as he even thought of food, his smile turning to a grimace. Then Victor was heading into the shower and Mathias felt his happy demeanor slip away. After circling a couple of items on the list and calling the room service number, he lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling, the faint sound of water running and the sound of it dully being interrupted in his course, had him thinking about just who was in the shower. A faint blush tinged his cheeks and he hugged the pillow nearest him, burying his face in it.<br/><br/>"Mmph..." was the sound of him sighing and saying something unintelligible into the soft fabric.<br/><br/>The knock at the door made Mathias jump up and almost run to it, anything to distract him from his slowly guttering mind.<br/>He opened the door and blinked at the man with the tray of food. After figuring out the amount due, and bringing the plates inside, he sat down in one of the chairs, staring at either plate.<br/><br/>He glanced up when Victor walked out of the bathroom, then quickly looked away. He stood up and grabbed the two clean plates the man had handed him in addition to the food, setting them down on the table, the silverware laying across them clinking delicately. He looked up at his bodyguard, then looked away, then at the food and said, "You pick first. I'm not sure what I want to eat yet."<span style="font-style: italic">Only that it involves you.</span>He gritted his teeth, looking out the window and trying to calm himself down.<br/><br/>Curse alcohol and its effects on him. It made him so...aroused. It was the reason he went out, got drunk, then brought so many men home. In addition to feeling aroused, he was also cuddly, clingy, just wanting to be held. So conflicting when paired with wanting intimacy.
