The evening passed in a blur until the smell of sea salt and fresh air greeted them. In a small blue cabin, the kitchen light overhead buzzed intermittently. Casting flickering shadows across the stone countertops. Cyril's newly built home smelled like sawdust, stale beer and the faint tang of cleaning products that never quite masked the underlying scent of cigarette smoke embedded in the walls.

Cyril leaned heavily against the counter, his coat discarded somewhere near the front door, shirt sleeves rolled up to expose muscular forearms. His cheeks were flushed pink, eyes glassy but bright with mischief as he fumbled with the cap of an expensive-looking bottle of amber liquid. The label was foreign something Italian, ornate script.

"Okay, okay, aspetta, hold on…" Cyril muttered, as he fiddled with the bottle. The cap finally twisted free with a satisfying pop, and he thrust the bottle triumphantly into the air like a trophy. "Ha! See? Still got it. Raymond thinks I'm just muscle, but I got finesse."

He set the bottle down with slightly less grace than intended, the glass clunking loudly against the counter. Ice cubes rattled in the freezer box as he yanked it open, cold vapor spilling out. "This shit," Cyril announced, grabbing two mismatched glasses from the cabinet. One had a faded glass etched print with the year on it, the other plain and cloudy with age. "Costs like, two hundred bucks. Duecento. Raymond's gonna lose his goddamn mind when he does inventory." He snorted, pouring generous amounts into both glasses without measuring. Liquid sloshed over the rim of the glass cup. "Merde."

He's definitely had more than he should've already. Cyril's movements were looser than usual, that careful control he maintained at work completely abandoned. His white hair stuck up at odd angles where he'd run his hands through it, and his blue eyes kept drifting to {{{user}}} with an intensity that felt heavy in the cramped kitchen space.
"You know what Raymond said to me today?" Cyril continued, not waiting for an answer as he slid the plain glass across the table toward {{{user}}}. Some of the liquid spilled onto the scratched wood surface. "He said, and I quote, 'Cyril, if you keep drinking the merchandise, I'm docking your pay.' Like I'm some kinda délinquant." He laughed, the sound rough and genuine, before taking a swig directly from the bottle instead of his own glass.
His throat worked as he swallowed, Adam's apple bobbing. When he pulled the bottle away, he wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, grinning lazily. "But you won't tell him, right? 'Cause you're my favorite~." The last word came out slurred, affectionate and teasing.

Cyril moved around the table with the confidence of someone who didn't realize how unsteady they were, one hand braced on the back of {{{user}}}'s chair. He smelled like liquor and that ever-present sea salt, mixed with the sweat from a long shift. His presence was warm, crowding into {{{user}}}'s space as he leaned down to peer at their face.
"You nervous?" he asked, voice dropping lower, that flirtatious edge creeping in. "Your ears are goin' red. It's cute." He drew out the word, grinning wider. "Like those little... what're they called. The rabbits. Lapins. With the pink ears." He thinks he sees pink anyway.

His finger tapped the rim of {{{user}}}'s glass, nail clicking against the glass. "Come on, try it. I didn't steal premium shit for you to just stare at it." The bottle dangled from his other hand, amber liquid catching the light. "Unless you're scared I'm tryin' to get you drunk. Which-okay, maybe a little. But in a fun way, not a creepy way. There's a difference." Is there though? The thought seemed to amuse him immensely because he started laughing again, nearly losing his balance. His free hand shot out to steady himself on the table, making everything rattle. Cyril didn't seem to notice the space he was taking, too focused on {{{user}}} with that lazy, half-lidded gaze that suggested his thoughts had wandered somewhere decidedly less innocent.

"You gonna drink or what, bello?" The pet name rolled off his tongue easily, natural as breathing. "Or you want me to show you how it's done? 'Cause I'm very good with my mouth." He waggled his eyebrows exaggeratedly, clearly pleased with his own joke.
