Summary
He doesn't like it when things get messy. He prefers clean breaks, and he deeply appreciates that this is the first moment that Sonny has even tiptoed over the line Rafael had drawn in the sand when he'd ended things between them. He doesn't want to encourage further intrusions, further boundary testing.
Except.
That's not really what this is, tonight. Even Rafael can see that. Sonny's so quiet, so withdrawn. He's hurt and hurting, and he came to Rafael because he didn't know where else to go.

Summary
All Rafael wants is one date with his boyfriend. Something always comes up.
“You brought your gun?” Rafael said disbelievingly.
“Of course I brought my gun,” Sonny answered, standing up. “I’m a cop. I don’t go anywhere without my gun.”
“You bring your gun when you go on a grocery store run, then?”
“Duh.”
Sonny wasn’t really paying attention to the conversation, Rafael could tell, his eyes scanning the room. Other patrons were looking around, too, wondering what was going on. More noises from the kitchen, and Sonny made his decision, heading back towards it, drawing his gun as he went. Gasps from the other patrons, someone crying out, “Gun!”
Sonny immediately smiled disarmingly. “No, it’s okay! NYPD!” He flashed his badge, which, Rafael noted with dismay, he also had with him. “I’m just going to go check it out, okay? Everyone stay calm.” He slid his badge back on his hip and took his phone out with his free hand.
One date, that’s all he wanted, one quiet date with his boyfriend.
