The two are in Hector's beautiful and spacious house. After he gives Daniel the house tour they find themselves sitting on the kitchen island. The older man throws the blue wrapper on the trash can next to him and takes a bite out of the soft and fluffy marshmallow covered in chocolate and colorful gummies. He moans in delight as the sweetness invades his mouth. Hector watches him in wonder.

"You enjoy that?"

"Yes! Oh my God! This is delicious! It's the best lollipop I've ever tasted in my life. It's so good. Thank you so much for introducing me to it. I love, Paleta Payaso."

Hector laughs at him, but it's not unkind. He says, "You got a bit of chocolate on your face."

"Here?" Daniel asks.

He wipes the wrong part of his face. Hector laughs at him again. Daniel pouts in embarrassment and frustration. He tries again and only receives more laughter.

"Here, let me help you." The handsome man says in that sexy gruff voice of his.

He leans forward and wipes off some of the chocolaty goodness off his face. He touches Daniel's bottom lip and wipes off the excess chocolate. Then, he stares directly at him and takes his finger in his mouth. The same finger that had just touched Daniel's lip.

Daniel blushes and turns away when he remembers that. He starts eating the rest of his lollipop. This man makes him act like a freaking schoolgirl on her first date with her boyfriend.

"So, do you have any family?"

"I do, actually. I've got a Father and a younger brother. My little brother's a Doctor."

"Oh? That sounds nice. What about a wife? Do you have any kids?"

"No. No wife or kids. I was married once and we talked about wanting to have children. But, she left me one day. Just disappeared without a trace." Hector says this with some sadness behind it.

Daniel can't believe that someone would do that to him. Hector is a good man. He's smart. He's generous. He's practically a Samaritan.

"I am so sorry to hear that, Hector." He brings his hand to the other man's shoulder and starts rubbing it in a soothing and comforting motion.

"That's alright. I'm used to it by now. I had a pretty rough and sad childhood." He says with a pained look on his face.

"What? Why? That sounds horrible." Daniel asks in a curious and concerned tone.

"I… I probably shouldn't tell you. I don't want to ruin your day with my sad story."

"No, no, no. I want to know. I think we're starting to become good friends. Aren't we?"

"Yes. You're probably right. Would you like some Tequila?"

"Tequila? I don't know if I can handle it. That's pretty strong."

"Danielito, come on. You can't leave Mexico without trying our best Tequilita, huh? Please? Te va a encantar, bonito. Confía en mí."

Daniel laughs when Hector starts hitting his elbow lightly. He can't refuse the man. Not after showing him such selfless hospitality.

"Okay. I'll give it a try. But, if I start stripping and dancing on top of the table. It's not my fault."

The two share a laugh at that. Hector gets up from the kitchen island and goes to the bar in the next room over. He pours a generous amount of clear liquid into a small glass. He smirks and starts searching for some illegal drugs that work as a powerful aphrodisiac. It's something that'll make a virgin teenage girl spread her legs, oh so willingly.

He pours the pink powder into the bottle of Tequila that he'll be serving Daniel. He shakes it up well and hears Daniel's cellphone ringing. He decides to go look for his hidden box of sex toys. He's going to have so much fun tonight with the pretty and gullible Italian.


"Sam, I'm fine. I even met a new friend. His name is, Hector. You have got to meet him. He's incredible. He's such a nice guy."

Sam turns to the two blonds and tells them about her Dad's new Mexican friend. Robby bites his lips in anxiety. Johnny just growls in anger and snatches the phone away from the teenage girl's small hand.

"You listen to me, LaRusso! You get out of that house right now! You can't be this much of a fucking idiot! Even the fucking Care Bears wouldn't be this trusting. Look, Mr. Dumbassheart Bear. That guy sounds fishy. Just text us your address and leave the house."

"First of all, it's Tenderheart Bear. Not Dumbassheart Bear. Second of all, I'm an adult and I'm perfectly capable of taking care of myself. Third of all, Hector isn't fishy! And last but not least, fuck you Lawrence! Who do you think you are to be giving me orders? I'm hanging up."


Daniel lets out a sigh of exasperation as he turns off his phone. A smiling Hector comes over and brings with him two bottles of Tequilas and two shot glasses. He offers one of the filled glasses to him.

"Is everything okay? Are you angry about something? Did I do something wrong?" He asks with a hurt voice.

"Oh my God! No! No! No! You didn't do anything wrong. I'm not angry at you. I'm angry at this acquaintance of mine. He's just so infuriating and obnoxious." Daniel grunts in annoyance.

Hector laughs at this the two make their way to Hector's living room. They sit down on the same sofa and they raise their shot glasses together.

" _Salud_!"

They both drink their tequila and they pass the second glass to each other. They continue to talk about random topics.

"I actually worked as a boxer back when I was a teenager. It's a bit opposite to Karate. Karate is for self defense. Boxing is more like… a means to survive. When I was a kid my family was poor. My Mother left us for some rich guy she met. So it was only my Dad, younger brother and I."

Daniel frowns at hearing all this. It must've been so hard for him. Hector has been through so much.

"We lived in the ugly side of town. I wanted to help my Dad and not let him do all the work of raising two kids all on his own. He was working two jobs. So I dropped out of High School. I started getting into Boxing Street Fights. Then, I was actually getting payed for the matches."

Daniel's heart is breaking as he listens to the Mexican man's heartbreaking upbringing. No teenager should be put through all of that. Hector is a very admirable man.

"So yeah, Boxing was just a way of life. It helped me survive in the bad side of town. As well as provide for my family and it helped me give my little brother a better chance at life. I was able to put him through college."

"Hector, that's so… noble and kind of you. You're a good brother and son. I admire you. You're a very good man."

Hector just smiles shyly at him and says, "Oh, come on. I'm not that great. I just did what anyone in my situation would've done."

He quickly pours Daniel another glass from the Tequila bottle with the aphrodisiac mixed in and pours himself one without the aphrodisiac.

"Two different brands? Is there a reason for that?"

"Oh? No special reason. But, the brand I'm giving you is the best out of the two. And the one I'm drinking is almost gone. So, that's why."

Daniel just nods in understanding and takes another shot of the alcoholic beverage mixed with the powerful aphrodisiac that's slow acting but, long-lasting.
