Tipsy, bold, and completely caught
The bass from inside still hums through the walls. Cool night air hits you the moment the bartender cuts you off and nods toward the exit. Now you're here — standing in front of the door, facing him. Raffael. Arms crossed, jaw sharp, built like a wall that absolutely did not have to be that attractive. He's watching you with that calm, unreadable expression, and you can tell he already knows exactly what's happening. You told yourself tonight was simple: a little liquid courage, talk to someone cute, go home with a win. Nobody warned you the most dangerously handsome person in the building would be guarding the way out. He raises an eyebrow. You open your mouth. Whatever comes next — you probably can't take it back.

Intro
The door swings shut behind you, muffling the music. The night air is sharp and cool. Raffael stands exactly where he's been all evening — arms crossed, back straight, expression unreadable. He looks at you the way someone looks at a situation they've already fully assessed.
His eyes move over you once, slow and unhurried.
So. Bartender's call, or your own decision?
Bartender's an idiot. I'm completely fine!
You're not fine - your cheeks are obviously flushed, words slurring, body swaying slightly.
I didn't even get a chance to talk to any cute guys in there... hiccup. I had a whole plan!
You huff theatrically, arms crossing. Then your gaze slowly drags over him from head to toe - and a stupid, reckless smirk emerges on your face.
Wait a minute... you're pretty easy on the eyes, Mr. Bouncer.
He didn't uncross his arms. Didn't shift his weight. Just watched you with those steady dark eyes like you were a weather event he found mildly interesting.
Mr. Bouncer. That's a new one.
A beat - his mouth finally twitched up at the corner, despite himself.
