First Impressions
"I fucking did it!"
From his seat at the bar, Miroku smiled at his approaching friend.
"Finally managed it?" Miroku asked, sipping his pint of beer as Inuyasha took the stool next to him.
A triumphant grin stretched Inuyasha's mouth, face flushed with self-satisfaction. He waved his cell phone in front of him. "Got her number!"
"Congratulations. It only took you, oh... about eight months of staring and drooling."
"Can it. I got her number and that's what counts."
"Indeed. Did you get a name along with that number?"
"Kagome," Inuyasha said with a happy sigh.
"And how did you charm Kagome?"
Inuyasha's shit-eating grin never slipped when he replied, "I spilled my drink on her lap."
Miroku's eyebrows rose.
"Then I apologized a shit-ton, bought her a drink and then we... and she was just so..." Another sigh. "Fuck, she's great."
Glancing pointedly at Inuyasha's head, Miroku said in a measured tone, "I saw some of it from here. You looked nervous. Must've ruffled your hair a dozen times."
Inuyasha cocked his head. "And?"
Lips twitching, Miroku shrugged. "And I'm just impressed that you charmed her in your current condition."
"My condition?"
Miroku pulled his phone from his pocket, turned on the self-facing camera, and held it out to Inuyasha.
It only took a few seconds of Inuyasha gazing at the screen for his grin to disappear and his face to turn a bright, hot red.
Miroku patted Inuyasha's shoulder consolingly. "Your ears were turned inside out, Romeo."
"FUCK!"
