The Tease.

Adrian wasn't expecting Marcel to really choke because of his question and couldn't help but feel guilty about his own impulsiveness.

He rushed to pat his back to calm him down as he silently vowed not to say shocking things to him when he was eating or drinking something. 

"I won't ask again," Adrian said as he watched Marcel, who had recovered his composure.

"Ask," Marcel said as he finally stood up straight and looked at Adrian, who still looked worried for him.

"If you want to do it," Marcel said with a smile as he shifted his position and trapped Adrian between himself and the kitchen counter.

"Just ask me," Marcel finished and moved so close to him that their noses were almost touching.

"Are you alright now?" Adrian asked, while feeling flustered by the sudden closeness.

"Mmmh," Marcel said with a shallow smile.
