OOM: Black tie evening

[latino_menace]

So, it hasn't been the best vacation so far. It had had potential, and then it had sucked. But Ramon is determined that the time away isn't going to be a complete waste - and he's rather good at sweeping emotion under the rug and ignoring it, when he wants to

"For anything."

Random is in a good mood, unfeigned, because he's just seen Ramon in his tuxedo. Plans of molestation are dancing in his head. Like sugarplums, except that's a poem and this is rather more fun.

Straightening his own collar;

"You look nice."

Ramon's trying to tie his bowtie in the mirror and cursing as he can't get it to his liking. He's picky about such things.

'Fucking thing.'

But he does glance across at Random and smile.

'And you're stunning.'

He really is. He could hardly not be, dressed in one of these.

"You're crooked."

Nimble fingers reach for Ramon's tie, and straighten it gently.

"And now you're perfect in every way, shape and form. I wish I could be on your arm. One day I'll take you somewhere where I will. I wish I could flaunt you, you gorgeous thing. I got you. Don't know how, but mine."

Yours? Yeah. I am. Wish I could say the same about you now.

He thinks it before he can stop it, then shoves it away. Because tonight is not going to be about that.

'You got me. I got you too, so it's a fair trade.'

He adjusts the tie a little more, then kisses Random briefly.

'Thank you. OK, there's a limo coming for us. We shouldn't keep it waiting, not in this neighbourhood.'

Stupid really, drawing attention with a car like that. But you can't go out in a tuxedo without a limo, he thinks. It's just wrong.
