"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.

"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."

"I could dance," he offers, grinning.

"You're trying to get me killed."
Smiling at him, pulling his hand back and sipping at the eggnog.

Chuck pours himself a cup and sips at it too, still grinning.

Chuck'll hate it though.
