[Long enough. He'd know Reno long enough to know that he acted on impulse. It was just that those impulses never typically ran in his direction. Not like this. Being tactile was one thing. But licking him...?
Rude held him there, just watching him and that drink, and taking the time he needed to calm a pulse that was racing for reasons he wasn't at liberty to analyse just at that moment. His breathing calmed. The heat of his cheeks cooled. And then he was able to think a little more clearly.
And that clear thinking brought him to a startling realisation.
He had liked it. There wasn't a single thing so far he hadn't actively disliked. It had taken him by surprise and that was all. He hadn't had time to consider what was going on and to act accordingly. And it was with Reno's next words that Rude decided he might just have to screw keeping in the lines and embrace the chaos.]
Nothing wrong with the boring way. But you're being selfish. Haven't even offered me a taste...
[And sure, he could have taken the glass and drank from that. But Reno had already said that was boring. So there were two options. Rude made a snap judgment and with the hand that had been holding Reno's jacket, he let go and raised that hand to cup the back of his partners head, fingers burying within red hair to bring him back. There was the brief flash of a smirk, before Rude went in for a taste.

Reno's lips really did taste sweet.]
