Sometimes Ris wondered if Sam knew just how much he affected him. Just Sam's smile alone could improve his mood, which didn't sound like a healthy feeling to have for someone he couldn't have. This would be the same time he would wonder if he should just give up on this hopeless pining. He and Alexei had talked once; the burly baker, and the owner's son, had openly confessed his attraction for Ris as the main reason he got Ris the job at the bakery. He wasn't sure what kind of feelings he had for Lexei, but he did know that he was tired of the dull ache in his chest from watching Sam be so happy.
And for a moment, as Sam turned back to look towards the skyline outside their apartment, Ris wanted to go back and pour out all the emotions he'd been feeling in the past week. There were so many things to say that cemented his feet to the floor the moment he thought about actually saying him. The only thing that made him leave was a nudge against his shoulder, which was Jamie brushing past him. Ris lets the whiskey moving through his system urge a glare in Jamie's direction, and moves back into the party, eyes moving toward the kitchen full of his coworkers.
A loud shout roars across the tiny kitchen as the Russians notice him coming. He pulls a smirk and declares strongly, "I do keg stand now. Beat everyone." A crowd starts to form in the kitchen as Lexei moves over to help Ris with the keg. There is a collective shout of each number as Ris gulps down the beer from the keg, horribly nasty but very cheap. Each number helped him forget of the boy against the railing, and his boyfriend who wasn't leaving anytime soon. He bangs on the keg when he can't take anymore, and he got just enough gulps down to pass the longest time at the party.
Then he decides to be stupid. Being stupid wasn't new to drunk Ris, but stomping over and pulling Lexei's face to his was definitely new. A holler rang in his ears but it all quieted, like he couldn't hear anything but his heart beating wildly. Lexei's eyes are wide and surprised when Ris pulls away, but he moves back in because he could forget about Sam when his lips were pressed against someone else's.
