Been feeling uncreative lately, in addition to being under the weather (damn allergies). Finally got around to writing something. Did another drabble challenge from Sailor Draco, #23 flirt. Been thinking about a follow up to Sexy Secrets. We'll see when
(if ever) I get it written.

Just over 20 minutes for this pieces. As always, reviews are appreciated.

Flirting

Sano shook his head, watching Kaoru walk away. Looking at Kenshin he sighed, "She was flirting with you, you know."

"Sano, Miss Kaoru is a nice girl. She was just being friendly."

"Then why is she so much friendlier to you than me?" he countered.

"I'm sure you're just imagining things," Kenshin replied.

"She complimented you on your clothes, your hairstyle, and the color of your eyes."

"Umm… well Sano, you do always wear the same jacket…. And it's debatable whether those spikes are a hairstyle or lack of a comb…." Kenshin mumbled.

Sano glared. "And the eyes. No wait, don't tell me, brown is just ordinary so she didn't mention them."

Kenshin nodded fervently.

"Well then, how do you explain her asking you if you'd like to meet at the museum this afternoon?" Sano said, raising an eyebrow.

"I'm sure she wouldn't mind if you joined us," Kenshin replied.

Sano rolled his eyes. "You really are dense aren't you? Besides, I hate museums."

"That's probably why she didn't invite you, since she wouldn't want you to feel pressured to come." Kenshin pointed out.

"More likely that's why she choose the museum in the first place," Sano muttered. Clearing his throat, he looked at Kenshin speculatively. "What do you have against her flirting with you?"

Kenshin stuttered, "I'm s-sure you're m-mistaken Sano. Kaoru and I are just friends. Nothing more."

"But you'd like more, right?"

Kenshin blushed. "Sano….. Please, let's drop this. She was not flirting with me. She just sees me as a friend."

"I'll make you a deal," Sano replied. "When you see her this afternoon, flirt with her a bunch. I bet she'll respond and you can ask her out and see that I am right. If she doesn't accept the date I'll never bring this up again."

Kenshin stared at him. "It's hardly fair to flirt with Miss Kaoru over a bet."

"You're interested in her, aren't you? So it's not like you're pretending to like her or something. Besides, if she ain't interested, she'll let you know. She's a straight forward kind of gal." Sano countered.

Kenshin scuffed the ground, trying to think up a counter argument.

Sano continued, "You are capable of flirting, aren't you?"

Kenshin looked away.

Slapping him on the back, Sano sighed, "Well give it your best shot. I doubt she's expecting much from you anyway. As long as you managed to ask her out, I'm sure she'll take it from there."

Kenshin looked thoughtful. How did one go about flirting? He could give her compliments, he supposed. Show appreciation for her outfit, her hairstyle, her eyes…..
