Dexter waited until the other man readied himself enough to take the shot, which was – a lot longer than he had anticipated. Once the other finally went ahead to sip his Dexter quickly knocked it back, letting out an ‘ah after it cleared his throat. He turned his attention back on the other man once he regained composure, laughing at his reaction. “Oh god, Leo, I’ve never seen anyone react that way to a shot before. Holy shit,” he laughed some more. “Yes, spiced rum. Just give it a few seconds and it’ll start kickin’ in and you’ll feel loads better, I swear,” he assured the other. “Fine, as long as you’ll still drink with me, we can go pick you up something that’s less entertaining to watch you drink. What’re you in the mood for?” 

“Oh, I wasn’t-- expecting you to actually agree.” Leo blinks at them, leaning back into the couch. “I totally thought you’d just, like... shove another down my throat and tell me to stop being such a baby about it...” He murmurs in an embarrassed manner. “See? This is why I don’t DO this kinda’ thing, man!” He sighs, pouting his lips in disappointment. “Everyone’s always like, c’mon Lenny have some more grog, er like, guzzle this lager ya’ right bell-end, and you’d really think after studying abroad here for so long, I’d one-hundred percent know what the heck that all means too, but I don’t.” Leo’s voice cracks. “I’d rather have a capri sun... over anything else. Does that count?”

Dexter had to laugh at the other man when he started focusing on the drink. He had never seen anyone so aprehensive about taking a shot in his life – though, to be fair – most of his friends were bigger partiers than that. “Well, you don’t have a day my friend. Carpe fucking diem, right?” he smiled to encourage the other, “After a bit more drinking we can go get some greasy takeaway so you don’t have to worry your pretty little head about it. Deal?” His smile widened at the other’s look of disgust after smelling it. “Darling, you are not supposed to give it a sniff. It’ll only make it worse.” Dexter poured himself a shot too, grabbing it as he turned towards the other. “Trust me, love, you’re going to hate yourself if you decide to sip on it. It’s better to have it go down really quick, then you only have to deal with it for a few seconds,” he promised, “I’ll do one with ya, so you’re not alone.” 

Watching Dexter pour a shot, Leo presses his lips together to form a hard line. “Alright, then.” His voice wavers slightly as he attempts to contain his composure. Taking a deep breath, he narrows his eyes down at the shot in his hands for a moment before carefully raising the brim to his lips. As the taste hits his tongue, his eyes shut tightly, wincing at the undesirable flavor that suddenly prompts him to pinch his nose and throw his head back to swallow it all. Grimacing, the small drama student places the glass down on the coffee table as an uncontrollable shiver goes up his spine. “Ugh-- I hate it-- I hate it, I hate it so much, I HATE it!” He whines, now fully regretting his decision. A pitiful whimper escapes Leo as he holds his head in his hands for a few moments. “Spiced rum, was it?” He glances up with a furrowed brow. “You’re not going to make me take another, are you...? Can’t we just hit up a store? Where I can get something less... I-I ‘dunno... death-y?”

 A mischievous smiled made its way onto Dexter’s face as he saw the other’s resolve falter. He knew if he was persistent he would be able to find a drinking buddy back on campus. One thing about Dexter was his ability to influence others. Usually, it was with his music, but he could do it off of he stage as well. “Well, your fair warning happened about fifteen minutes ago when you walked in here. That’s plenty of time to get you ready to drink,” he smiled, “Plus, I’m a not-so-lightweight, so I’ll make sure you don’t do anything I wouldn’t do.” Dexter smiled, pouring the other man a shot. “Spiced rum,” he said, “Just knock it back real fast and you won’t be able to taste it.” 

Leonard takes the shot glass hesitantly from them and stares into it at the dark liquid for a moment before his doe-eyes wander back up to their stare. “I meant, more like... a day’s in advance, Dexter...” He murmurs shyly. “I’d usually prepare for something like this with, uh... I-I ‘dunno, like... something greasy to eat? I barely ate at supper. Besides, that was hours ago.” Leo speaks up, brow knit as he holds the shot up to his nose to take a brief whiff, immediately going wide eyed at the scent. “Christ. Smells like gasoline.” Having always been more of a casual drinker, the kind that stays far from liquors, far more comfortable with a hoppy brew at most, and a fruity mixed drink in the best of cases, Leo isn’t quite sure where this start to his weekend  is going, but he hadn’t thought it’d involve anything close to something of this sort. “I trust you on that, but... c-can’t I just sip on it, Dex?” He chides nervously with a bit of laughter.

“Oh, come on. Al little bit won’t hurt ya,” he said, flashing the man a wide grin. “I wouldn’t offer it if I didn’t think you’d enjoy it. I’m just fucking nice like that,” Dexter added. He really wished his band mates hadn’t called it a night. The one thing that always got to him about this place was that people were always too focused on their studies. Wasn’t partying part of going to a university? If his parents weren’t depending on him to graduate, he definitely would have chosen somewhere with a little less prestige and a little more partying. “Ease up? It’s the weekend. This is when you’re supposed to let loose. What are you my mom?” 

“I-I...” Leo falters a bit as he listens to Dexter, eyes shifting to focus on the floor in a meek manner. “I mean, I guess you’re right... about the weekend, and all.” He mumbles, twiddling his thumbs. “I’m just a really bad lightweight, to be completely honest, man.” A gentle sigh escapes his lips as his eyes meet theirs. “I’m the kind of guy that needs a fair warning before gettin’ all... wild, yknow?” A moment of silence passes as he considers, though ultimately he gives in, as he usually does when it comes to peer pressure. “--Okay, okay. What’re you drinking?” Leo scoots closer, setting his thick book aside carefully.

“How come?” He asked. It wasn’t the first time someone said that to him, he was curious on what was going on in his mind. “It’s actually really interesting.” He said with a nod. “Well in order to join Interpol you have you law experience, I was going to join the police force and then apply for Interpol. What about you? Guessing moving to the states?” 

“I ‘dunno. I’m not the best when it comes to real world confrontation-- so, I-- well, I don’t really think I’d be that great a criminologist. I think I’ll stick with playing make believe on stage.” Leo shakes his head with a grin as he stabs his fork into his salad, a gentle laugh escaping him. “Ohh... see? I don’t have the guts to go off and pursue a career like that. Then again, I shouldn’t be so surprised-- you always did look like the brave type.” Leo looks down once more, toying with his fork idly as a smile lingers upon his lips. “If you do end up moving to the states, then... do me a favor and visit, sometime. I mean... if you’re ever in Los Angeles.”

He sat down and enjoyed his food but looked up when the young man asked him a question. He grabbed a napkin and wiped his lips. “Criminology Criminology is the study of crime and deviant behavior. It is an interdisciplinary field of behavioral and social sciences. Drawing primarily upon the research of sociologists, psychologists, philosophers, psychiatrists, biologists, social anthropologists, as well as scholars of law.” He replied with a smile. “To put in in place man term, it studies who, what, where and why commits crime and how we can prevent it.” He said then took a sip of his water. “I’m trying to join Interpol. Been a dream of mine since I was dick height.” 

“Oh, wow...” He says a bit breathlessly in response to their explanation, eyes gleaming. Poising a forkful of leafy greens to his lips, Leo tilts his head, elbow rested gently on the table. “That’s really impressive. I-I could, like... never go into studying something of that magnitude.” Finally taking a bite, he looks down at his food with a smile as he chews before swallowing. “So, um... what do you wanna’ do when this is all over? School, and all?”

“Oh, yes, definitely. I’m having a grand ol’ time,” he slurred, pouring himself another shot - taking another one. He was comfortably drunk at this point and the shots didn’t burn on their way down now. “Are you sure? You should at lease have one! Don’t make me drink aloneeeee,” he pouted. “I played a fucking sick show tonight. One of the best ever.” 

“Ah-- I, uh-- I don’t know, Dexter.” Leo shakes his head slightly, sinking into the cushion of the couch he’s seated on. Huffing a soft, nervous laugh, he blinks at them. “I-I mean, it is getting kinda’ late. I just wanted to get outta’ my room for a bit before lights out.” A beat. “Maybe you should ease up... on the booze, I mean.”

“Let’s hope.” Normally he was the last one to get food and often such where ever his friends sat. Enrique often used his looks and charm to get what he wanted and this time he was using them to get extra portions of fish. The ladies already knew his name and after a little harmless flirting he ended up with double portions of fish. He grabbed fresh fruit fruit and a mountain of peanut butter cups. “Criminology.” He replied as he began to work on his peanut butter and fruit. 

Leo watches as Enrique flirts his way toward a larger serving, knitting his brow and offering a bit of a timid smile toward the ladies behind the counter. Requesting his own food after Enrique, Leo graciously takes his caesar salad from one of the lunch ladies, placing it onto his tray carefully before plucking silverware at the end of the line. “Criminology?” He says with a bright smile, and a bit of surprise as he leads them toward the open table by the large windows. Taking a seat, Leo gently places his tray down. “That’s impressive-- what does it entail, exactly?”

“I’m not the one to judge or assume anyone back story.” He replied with a shrug. He hated the feeling looking dumb so he would rather just ask than assume wrong. He looked at the picture and kept looking through her long list of movies. Nothing he would watch but they were pretty big titles. “Cool bro.” He said with a smile. “Valid point.” He said nodding as he looked at the menu and smiled, not his favorite but bass was healthy. “Not a fan of seafood?” He asked as he picked up a tray and plate. “Where do you wanna sit?” He asked. 

“Hey, at least you have the decency most others don’t.” He muses, giving them a nudge on the shoulder. “I don’t mind it, but... I-I think I’d prefer something less heavy today.” Leo sighs softly, picking up a tray with care. “Uh--” He squints in the general direction of the tables scattered about, full with other students. Pointing at an empty table near the windows, he turns to beam up at the other. “Let’s hope we get there before someone else.” He chuckles, stepping up in line casually. “Enough about me... what’s your major?”

After finishing one of his best sets to date (at least according to him), Dexter was celebrating to the extreme in the common room of his doom. He had been doing shots in the club he had just played at until him and his bandmates got too rowdy for the general public to handle and found themselves being thrown out on their asses. he felt a little bit betrayed that they didn’t want to keep the party going, but he figured he could handle keeping the party going on his own. “Hey!” he called out to the man who just walked into the common area he had turned into his party zone, “Want some shots?” 

[leoslevity]

Padding into the common room with a thick book tucked under his arm, Leo stifles a laugh at the sight of Dexter. “Seems to me you’re having a kick-ons.” Shifting to take a seat on one of the few antique couches scattered strategically, he places his book in his lap. “Goodness, I don’t think I’d be able to walk back up the steps to my room if I had any of that.” Leo blushes a bit, a cheeky smile remaining. “What’s the occasion?”

[leoslevity]

enriqueeguiluz​:

“Make sense, since you grew up with it.” He said as he shrugged. “Brought you home? Like were you adopted?” He asked.  Enrique had a bad habit of asking too personal question too quickly sometimes he didn’t even realized he did it. “Wait let me ask my best friend.” He said as he pulled out his phone and began to look up the cast. “This your mom?” He asked showing a picture of a women. “Ehh, I like knowing what I get my self into. I hope they have fish or chicken breast.”  He replied as he opened the door to the dinning area and headed to the menu. 

Leo can’t help but to laugh a bit to loudly at the other’s inquiry. “Yeah, I, uh... I was adopted when I was seven. I... think it’s pretty obvious that I am.” Glancing down at his shoes as they amble through the halls, his smile fades. Allowing his eyes to wander up and over to their phone, he nods once. “Yeah.” Leo points at the picture of his blonde mother on the screen of their phone with a bit of a snort. “Besides, I don’t think Leonard Anthony Heathcote is a very Korean name.” Tucking his hands into his pockets, he follows them into the dining hall with a sigh, gazing up at the chalkboarded menu. “Looks like you’re in luck... blackened bass is on the menu today? I think I may stick to the salad bar.”

“mhm,” Julian giggled loving how sweet and gentle Leo felt against him, but he knew it wouldn’t last long as the man started recoiling from him. “Leo…” he sighed coming closer, resting a hand on the man’s cheek as he brushed the skin softly. “Don’t look away from me, that was nice…really nice actually, so you shouldn’t feel bad about that.” turning the other’s face towards him, he planted one sweet slow kiss on his lips again. “That can be the last one, alright. Guess I must be a bad kisser.”

“I just-- w-well, I haven’t ever done that with a guy.” Despite his admittance, Leo hadn’t necessarily been this intimate with a woman since prior to university. Even so, when he had been, it didn’t feel as comfortable as he thought it should have-- and it was scripted television, at that. Facing the truth was more difficult than he wished for a myriad of reasons. Pushing his hair back with a huff, he flutters his eyes closed, shaking his head quickly. “It was... interesting...” He murmurs, finally gazing over at them with a look of nervousness as they tilt his head in their direction for a peck. “N-No, no you’re-- not. It’s not that.” Leo takes hold of the wrist of their hand against his cheek, gently prying it away, though he doesn’t let go.

“Really? I would be bragging, I’d be my mom biggest promo and hype man.” He replied. Even at his age, Enrique was still a momma’s boy. “Eugenia Heathcote didn’t she play that one movie where the guy is looking for his family but turns out he lost his shit and ended up murdering his wife? Or something like that?” He asked. He paused to think at the offer and decided to join him. He could eat and if he wanted to bulk up, he needed to eat more. “Sure.” He said as he led the way. “Do you know what they got?”

“Oh, I’m... kind of used to the whole... celebrity parent thing, by now. It wasn’t very easy to get used to when she first brought me home, but y’know.” He shrugs nonchalantly with a bit of a dry laugh. “Certainly sounds like something she’s starred in. If I’m honest, it’s hard to keep up.” Leo furrows his brow, clutching his bag closely as they walk together. “I’m not entirely sure-- I-I don’t, um, keep up with the daily menus. I think I’d rather enjoy the element of surprise each time I dine.” Leo grins crookedly.
