As Brody wrapped his arms around a shivering Adrian, he couldn't help but playfully scold him. "You could have just done a forfeit shot, look at you! You're practically freezing."

Adrian readjusted his jersey as he put his trousers back on. "I couldn't be called a chicken now could I?"

Adrian laughed to himself as he warmed up with the alcohol from Brody's cup.

Brody continued sharing his body heat with Adrian as he was now hugging him from behind. "Don't want you catching a cold now do we?"

Brody placed a quick kiss to the side of Adrian's head, and with those small gestures Adrian already felt all warm inside.

"Who's the dork now?" Adrian laughed, still making sure Brody was close to him.

"You. Always." Brody placed a temple kiss between every word. "You're. Always. My. Dork."

Going back into the jenga room, they were just in time to see Ashley knock the tower down. Feeling defeat amongst all of the celebration and cheers, Ashley was forced to play hot lava by herself for the rest of the night, as she was given a shot for every time she failed.

~~~~~~~~~~

The party started to simmer down as a few people started to head home. Ashley was currently receiving a piggyback from Adam as they went round and mingled with people. Elliot was helping Holly clean up a spillage he made when dropping one of the bottles. And Brody was still holding Adrian within his grasp.

They were both slightly drunk, Adrian a little bit more tipsy than Brody, but they were both comfortable being alone with each other.

"So, does this feel weird?" Brody asked.

Adrian turned his head to look at Brody who was behind him. "Is what weird?"

Brody placed a kiss on the back of Adrian's head. Showing their entwined hands in front of Adrian. "Us, doing this in front of people and everything."

Adrian chuckled as he looked around the room. Everyone was absorbed in their own world as nobody was really paying attention to them on the couch. "It feels nice, getting to be like this every now and then."

"I'm glad, as long as you're happy."

"As long as there's no public groping or heavy PDA." Adrian added. He felt like he didn't need to openly show how he felt about Brody in front of others in a passionate manner like that. Adrian felt that a lack of PDA, and a little tease with a quick kiss, left Brody wanting more.

And he liked the sound of that.

Brody made a sound of disproval when Adrian expressed his lack of desire for heavy PDA, as if he just regretted putting his hand on a hot stove. "Damn it."

Brody then teased Adrian as he gave him a gentle bodily squeeze, "How about just a little bit? Seeing you blush is always a favourite of mine."

When he heard Brody say that, Adrian knew he was already blushing. Adrian elbowed him on the side when he heard Brody laugh, "How would you feel if I came up to squeeze your ass in public?"

Adrian's rebuttal was a futile attempt as Brody laughed even harder. "Honestly I would love it, would you do, something like this?"

No one saw because their bodies were blocking everyone's vision of his hand, but Brody squeezed the area between Adrian's ass and thigh.

Quickly yelping at the sudden touch, Adrian regained his composure when he spoke to Brody in a hushed whisper that only they could hear, "Don't start what you can't finish Sinclair."
