[One for All] Nocturnal wanderings

[ps_you_look_hot]

The Sanctuary is a lovely place, really. Libraries and labs and gardens and excellent company.

But sometimes Nikola needs a little space. Or just to unwind for a bit.

So tonight, you'll find him sitting in a corner booth at a local bar, expensive scotch in hand, observing the room.

Nikola smirks. "These days?"

shrugging Leo manages to come with an entirely convincing lie; "College fraternity, man."

[ps_you_look_hot]

Nikola's not entirely convinced. "What fraternity?"

[badass-teddy.livejournal.com]

"The Aegean universities sports fraternity,I got there after I took my general studies degree."

As an afterthought he taps his chest,"Got through on a Sports scholarship."

[ps_you_look_hot]

Yeah, he's definitely not buying that.

Except maybe the last part.

He gives Leo a slow once-over. "I bet you did."

Ignoring the look Leo replies in an attempt to convince Nick,"Hey man it was my year abroad, best decision I ever made."

[ps_you_look_hot]

"I'm not questioning that," Nikola says. "I'm sure you enjoyed yourself very much."

[badass-teddy.livejournal.com]

Satisfied, he smiles. "I used to ride my buddies horse on the weekends when I wasn't visiting with my Aunt and Uncles."

"You look like an equestrian. You've got a great seat," Nikola says in a way that could be entirely innocent or entirely not.

[badass-teddy.livejournal.com]

Shrugging, Leo replies. "Eh one of my favorite Aunts is a prize horse breeder, so it kind of came with the territory."

[ps_you_look_hot]

Nikola shakes his head and mutters into his scotch, "What is it with this city and oblivious men?"

[badass-teddy.livejournal.com]

Noting that Nick has resorted to talking into his drink Leo bends over the bar, "You want a refill man? Or do you want some of this?" He gestures to the bottle of Ouzo that is currently cradled within his large left hand.

[ps_you_look_hot]

"Somehow," he says with a sarcastic smile, "I don't think that's going to help."

[badass-teddy.livejournal.com]

"Led liver?" Leo asks with a cute dimple filled smile, that is anything but mocking.

[ps_you_look_hot]

The dimpled smile is not helping things at all.

"Something like that, yes."

[badass-teddy.livejournal.com]

"Huh I know the feeling, way to hard to get a proper buzz with all the week stuff they've been coming out with lately."

[ps_you_look_hot]

Okay, that is an intriguing statement.

"It was hard enough before they started coming out with all this weak stuff."

[badass-teddy.livejournal.com]

He disagrees, "Hey man there's a reason all the good old-fashioned drinks are illegal,they aren't weak."

[ps_you_look_hot]

"My liver and I respectfully disagree," Nikola says, and knocks back his scotch.

[badass-teddy.livejournal.com]

Leo has no doubt he could out drink this guy with out even trying.
"Hey man don't get me wrong, it takes practically a legion of untapped barrels to get me even a little loopy." He too knocks back the last half of his Ouzo in one practiced chug.

[ps_you_look_hot]

Nikola shrugs. "I'm sure that's very impressive. Personally, I've given up on even trying."

[badass-teddy.livejournal.com]

Leo snorts, and shrugs his muscled shoulders-the fabric stretching to accommodate the strong, almost linear frame.

[ps_you_look_hot]

Nikola rolls his eyes and sets down his glass.

"I'll be frank, Leo. We can sit here having a pissing contest about who could potentially outdrink whom, or you can tell me when you get off, and we can meet up later for a much more pleasant interlude."

[badass-teddy.livejournal.com]

Like a deer caught in the headlights Leo tries to go over the nights events, and slaps a hand to his face; all of those predatory smiles, the licking of the lips, flirty smiles- they were all for his benefit...crap.

[ps_you_look_hot]

Nikola nods. "I'll take that as a no, then."
