Well it's not at the office, because the company can afford to rent out some ballroom or another, Chuck wasn't really paying attention because it's a fancy party and it's public and Raleigh's going to be there. And even if he can't actually go with Raleigh, because his dad will probably murder and then fire him, there's nothing saying they can't spend time together.
And if they happen to get caught underneath the mistletoe that's hanging all the fuck over the room well, it's not anybody's fault, dad, it's tradition.
He does flash Raleigh the wickedest of looks before dragging him in by the tie to kiss him in front of everyone, though.
Those are Raleigh's last thoughts before their lips meet, before there's gasping in the crowd before a smattering of applause from the people that happen to be around.
He's so dead. He knows it. He's fucking deader than dead.
It's cool it's cool Chuck has it all under control.
He doesn't keep it as involved as he'd like, letting just a slip of tongue to sneak in before he's stepping back and smirking at him smugly with his hands on his hips. "Who's next?"
Which is when Herc pushes him out from under the mistletoe with a scowl. "Nobody's next, go stand by the refreshments and help with the punch."
"Sure thing, babe," he purrs, leaning his hip against the table and reaching over to curl his hand around Raleigh's wrist to 'steady' him as he fills his cup.
Like realistically he knows that Herc will literally murder Raleigh for messing with his kid, but Chuck doesn't want to be tucked away. He knows he's a dirty little secret, he doesn't want to be treated like one all the time.

He's so dead. He knows it. He's fucking deader than dead.
And jobless.

He's wiping his mouth for show as Chuck is shooed off and towards the refreshment table, Herc glaring after his kid with a scowl.
"Sorry about him, mate...dunno what gets inta him sometimes."
Raleigh coughs politely, and takes a sip of his drink to calm his nerves. Definitely going to kill you, Chuck.
"No harm done, sir. "
Herc just nods.
"Enjoy the party, boy. Try not to let the little sprog catch you by surprise."
Gulp.
"Of course."

Chuck smirks over the room at Raleigh while he ladles eggnog into glasses.
Gonna need a refill on that pretty soon, huh Ray?
no subject
"Refill me?"
no subject
"How's the party so far?"
no subject
"Eh. It's a holiday party. If someone doesn't get plastered and dance with a lampshade, it's boring."
no subject
"I could dance," he offers, grinning.
no subject
"You're trying to get me killed."
Smiling at him, pulling his hand back and sipping at the eggnog.
no subject
Are you telling him he's not worth it?
Chuck pours himself a cup and sips at it too, still grinning.
no subject
"There's worse ways. You wanna dance?"
no subject
"Yeah!" Really? He's gonna dance with Chuck in front of everyone? In front of Herc?
no subject
Why not. Blame the booze.
"C'mon."

He's in sooo much trouble, but whatever. Why not. Go for it, it's Christmas.

Or convince Chuck to ease up.

Then should they break up? Because Raleigh doesn't really want to die and he can't afford to get fired.
He doesn't have a lot of options. But he is having fun.
no subject
And yeah he's having fun too. If Raleigh decides Chuck's too much trouble to be worth it that's up to him.
Chuck'll hate it though.
