Sonny pushed the door to the bathroom open and stepped readily back into the pulsing atmosphere of the bar.

He weaved his way through the throng of people crowded in the center of the bar, finally pushing past enough drunk twenty-somethings to be able to reach the corner booth where Rafael was sitting, waiting for him.

Sonny smiled at his boyfriend, except Rafael had a mischievous look on his face, and what was that about?

Sonny approached the table, and before his ass had even hit the seat, Rafael was leaning up, pressing a soft kiss to Sonny's lips.

"Hey," Sonny chuckled, wrapping an arm around Rafael's shoulders and squeezing. "Did you really miss me that much? I was only gone for like ten minutes."

Rafael shrugged, idle fingers tracing the edge of his glass.

"Well, I'll have you know Sonny that some creep decided to hit on me while you were in the bathroom. He's over at the bar now," Rafael answered casually, gesturing away from their table.

"Wait, what?!" Sonny exclaimed, head snapping immediately to his right, which made Rafael smirk, which made Sonny blush.

He ignored the satisfaction that Rafael was clearly getting from seeing him all riled up (okay, jealous, he was jealous), and instead focused on the tall man currently leaning against the bar counter, conversing with a young waitress.

He was attractive, Sonny had to begrudgingly admit. He was thin but built, lean muscles visible through the tight fabric of the navy sweater that he was wearing.

He had dark hair, hair as dark as Rafael's, and the faintest hint of stubble peppered his cheeks and jaw.

"He's actually getting me a drink right now," Rafael interjected.

Sonny turned to Rafael, a full-on pout on his lips now.

"I thought you said he was a creep?"

"He is." Rafael barely managed to hide his smug grin behind his sip of scotch. "But, I never turn down a free drink, Sonny."

Sonny glanced back to the man, and he really wanted to knock this guy's teeth in, because he was making his way towards their table, and just who did he think he was, hitting on Sonny's Rafael –

"Kiss me, quick! Before he comes back over here!"

Sonny turned, waggled an eyebrow at Rafael, and smirked. "Happy to oblige, counselor."

Rafael's hand went immediately to the back of Sonny's neck, pulling him forward until their lips met.

Sonny's mouth fell open all-too eagerly, because this guy needed to see that Rafael was unequivocally his, and Rafael seemed to agree, because he took the invitation readily, sliding his tongue in between Sonny's lips, kissing him slow, and deep, and dirty.

Sonny dug his fingers into Rafael's sides, pulling, clutching at him desperately; he'd worked too damn hard to let anyone think that they stood a chance in hell of coming between him and Rafael.

Rafael started to pull away, but not before taking Sonny's bottom lip in between his teeth and tugging.

If Sonny weren't so far gone, he might actually have enough sense about him to be embarrassed that he moaned, actually moaned, in public.

Instead he whispered, breath hot against Rafael's mouth, "Hey, Rafi, if you really wanna put a show on for this guy, you could let me ride you." Sonny rolled his hips against Rafael's for extra emphasis and to demonstrate just how good of an idea he thought that was.

Rafael just chuckled and pecked sweetly at Sonny's swollen lips once, twice, three times before his forehead against Sonny's.

"Not on your life. But," Rafael murmured, kissing Sonny's cheek, words ghosting across his skin. "When we get home? Absolutely."

"Am – am I interrupting something?"

Sonny turned at the sound and saw the man from the bar – correction, the man who had been hitting on his boyfriend – standing directly in front of their booth.

"Oh, Adam, there you are!" Rafael greeted cheerfully. "This is my boyfriend, Sonny."

Sonny felt Rafael's arm wrap around his shoulder and pull until his back was flush against Rafael's chest.

Sonny smiled saccharinely at the man and made sure to maintain eye contact with him as he nuzzled his nose into Rafael's neck, pressing a kiss just below his jaw.

The man – Adam – shifted uncomfortably for a few moments before setting a glass of scotch down on the table.

"Uh, here's your drink, Rafael. I'm just – I'm just gonna go now."

He turned, darted, and Rafael shouted, "Thanks for the drink!" after the man's retreating form.

Sonny didn't bother moving from where he was nestled against Rafael, pressing kiss after small kiss to his warm skin.

"I don't like it when people hit on you, Rafi," Sonny said into his neck. "Might make you realize that you could do better than me."

Rafael pushed urgently on Sonny's shoulder until he was sitting all the way up, shifted so that he was gazing directly into Rafael's eyes.

"Sonny," he started quietly, wrapping his long fingers around Sonny's waist as he pulled Sonny closer. "First of all, that's the first guy that's hit on me in the past year that we've been dating, so you don't need to be jealous."

Sonny rolled his eyes and scoffed, but Rafael continued.

"Second of all, when are you finally going to realize that you're the absolute best that I can do?"

Sonny had never seen Rafael look so soft before.

"You really mean that, huh?" he asked, brushing one of Rafael's hairs that had managed to fall loose and adorably over his forehead during their make-out session back into place.

Rafael just nodded, somehow pulling Sonny even closer to him.

"I love you, Sonny."

Sonny's jaw fell open so wide that he swore it had to have hit the floor.

Rafael hadn't said those words to him before.

Rafael's fingers were caressing Sonny's hip bones, tenderly – lovingly, Sonny realized.

When Sonny still hadn't managed to form a coherent reply, Rafael continued.

"And I don't want you to ever think that I feel anything less than love for you. You're the best, Sonny. You. You're everything I could've ever wanted and everything that I never knew I needed all wrapped up in one, beautiful, amazing, man."

Sonny stared. He didn't think he could've managed to speak even if he'd tried.

Sonny just burrowed his head into Rafael's chest and pressed a kiss to the fabric of his button-up, directly over his heart.

"I love you too, Rafi. You're mine, too."

Sonny could feel Rafael's heart pounding underneath his cheek.

"I know."

They sat like that for a while, Sonny's face still buried deep in Rafael's chest, Rafael's arms possessively encircling Sonny's entire body.

"Jeez, if I'd known that all it took was someone hitting on you for you to tell me that you love me, I would've gotten Fin to hit on you about five months ago."

Rafael's laughter against his chest made Sonny feel warm all over.
