I must admit that when I first published this I didn't imagine that it would get as much of a response as it has so thank you guys so much for all your reads, reviews and just general support so for this chapter here is what we've all been waiting for: a lil bit of delicious yaoi :D

Saturday night finally came around and Davis and I managed to find our way to Kari's house with the directions she sent Davis. Even when it looked as if we were about to get very lost Davis still seemed very reluctant for me to look at the messages on his phone to see if I could make any more sense of them. I decided that I just wasn't going to ask – it would be better for my sanity in the long run.

I could tell he was nervous about seeing Kari again (he was clearly incredibly infatuated by this girl so he had good reason to be). I was also pretty nervous myself. I had been harbouring my crush on Tai for nearly three months now and I was finally going see him outside of work and could show him that I looked good out of uniform and I wasn't the gawky little kid he once knew.

When we finally got to Kari's house the vast majority of people there were already drunk so we were each given a beer and two shots so that we could 'catch up'. I hadn't drunk like this since University and I felt incredibly out of practice as the shot burnt the back of my throat. Might be a good idea to take it slowly, don't want to make too much of an arse out of myself…

Everyone that I spoke to was already pretty hammered and with each and every conversation the person that I was speaking to decided that I wasn't drunk enough and handed me a drink. Having said that despite this I still seemed to remain pretty damn sober… well I felt sober although I was pretty sure that my liver would be disagreeing in the morning.

The only other person at the party who seemed to be as sober as I was, was Tai. We had a couple of brief chats mostly about the fact that we both felt very sober at a party full of drunk people (which is never the fun place to be) but other than that we had sort of been mingling and trying to get drunker. It just didn't seem to be working for me though.

I had lost Davis after about the first hour and I had only seen Kari maybe once or twice. Eventually I decided to see if I could find an empty room to chill out in for a bit before braving the sea of drunk again. The first couple of doors that I tried were locked, which made sense (if I had a house party I'd probably lock my bedroom doors as well so that people didn't mistake it for the bathroom).

Finally I found an open door. I pushed it open and saw a sink so I knew I had found the bathroom. I pushed the door open all the way and the sight that met my eyes was not what I had expected at all. Davis and Kari were standing in the middle of the bathroom, her arms wrapped around his neck and his around her waist with one of his hands stuffed in the back pocket of her tiny shorts, kissing furiously.

I stood there staring for a good couple of minutes, neither of them noticing that I was there. Well why would they? They were way too wrapped up in each other's mouths to notice someone else was in the room as well. I began to feel uncomfortable after a while so I began to back out of the room, intending to just slip away quietly and forget I had ever seen that. That was the plan anyway… the reality was a little different.

As I went to back away I ended up walking backwards into a shelf and as my shoulder hit it I ended up dislodging quite a few bottles, which clattered loudly to the floor. The sound alerted Davis and Kari to my presence and they broke away instantly, Kari trying to fix her smeared lipstick. Davis just stared at me, red faced, and all I could do was look between the two of them in utter surprise. This was the last thing I had expected to see (I mean I had expected Davis to try, certainly, but I had never expected Kari to go along with it). She seemed to be the one who snapped back to reality first and pulled me inside the bathroom and closed the door behind me.

"Hey TK," she said. "sorry you walked in on that I thought I'd locked the door." She didn't seem embarrassed by the fact that I'd caught her getting off with my flatmate but more by the fact that she'd forgotten to lock the door. I shook my head.

"It's fine." I said. "I'll just leave you guys to it and get out of your hair."

"Could you do me a favour though?" she asked.

"Um sure…" I replied.

"Could you maybe not tell Tai about this?" she asked lowering her voice. "He gets really weird and over-protective when it comes to me and dating and this probably isn't going to go anywhere so it would just be easier if he didn't find out."

"Sure thing."

"Plus there was a guy that I used to go out with who has already tried to start a fight with Davis and I'd rather an actual fight didn't break out." she added a little louder.

"Yeah," I muttered. "Davis would get his arse handed to him." Davis came over with a confident swagger and threw his arm around Kari's shoulder.

"I'm pretty sure I could take him." he grinned. I just sighed; once again Davis was as daft and unobservant as ever.

"Sure," I said ignoring him. "you're secret's safe with me." I opened the door and began to back out of it. Davis had already started kissing Kari's neck again and she giggled.

"Remember to lock the door this time." he told her.

"I am so judging you right now." I stated. Davis grinned at me and shrugged.

"Come on dude," he said. "she's hot." As if that was any justification for not waiting till I was gone before he tried to stick his hands down her pants again.

"I wasn't talking to you." I replied before closing the door on them and walking away, hoping to forget everything I had just seen. I turned round the corridor, hoping to find the kitchen and drink away the image of Kari and Davis practically dry humping each other, and ended up walking straight into Tai.

"Hey." he smiled when he saw me and he did seem genuinely happy to see me. Damn he looked good when he smiled. To be perfectly honest he just looked good tonight. I had known that he was hot out of uniform courtesy of Davis and his Facebook stalking and I had always found guys in waistcoats hot but the combination of a waistcoat on Tai was having an effect on my mental restraint.

"Hey." I smiled back. Now I'm actually really glad that I'm not that drunk; I think if I was in anyway out of control I would seriously be thinking about leaning forward and kissing him.

"You enjoying the party?" he asked.

"Yeah, it's great." I half lied. "You?"

"I'm the only sober one in a flat full of drunken idiots." he replied.

"If it helps I'm feeling pretty sober too." I told him. "Although not through lack of trying."

"Same." he said. "I've found – after being to quite a few of these things – that Kari's friends are infinitely easier to deal with when I'm hammered too."

"Isn't that the case with people in general though?" I asked grinning at him. He laughed.

"This is true." he replied. "Speaking of, have you seen my sister at all?" I had two options here; and both involved lying through my teeth. I could either tell him that I had seen her somewhere else in the flat or that I just hadn't seen her at all.

"No," I replied shaking my head. "haven't seen her for ages." There we go; Option 2: Plausible Deniability.

"She might still be in the bathroom then." he stated and made to get past me and over to it. On instinct I grabbed his arm.

"Wait!" I said a little louder than I expected to. "I think the door's locked so she'd probably not in there." Tai laughed.

"TK I know she's getting off with your flatmate." he told me. I blanched.

"How?" I asked.

"Probably the same way you do." he stated. "I went in to use the bathroom earlier and saw them together because Kari hadn't locked the door so I just slipped out and left them too it."

"Oh…" That was pretty much all I could think of to say, very eloquent I know.

"I wouldn't worry too much about it," he told me. "but thank you for trying, that was something I could have done without seeing."

"Same." I agreed. Neither of us really knew what to say after that and it wasn't till I looked down that I realised I was still practically holding his hand from where I had tried to stop him. I looked up and Tai was just staring at me. I opened my mouth to say something when he shifted his grip slightly so that the two of us were now holding hands.

"Let's go get some fresh air." he said. I allowed him to drag me through the flat, through the masses of people, until we came to the very small balcony. He slid the door closed behind us so that we wouldn't be disturbed by anyone. The noise from inside was instantly muffled and the sounds of the traffic down bellow and the wind in the trees took over.

It was a chilly night and as soon as the cold hit me I realised just how much it was that I had drunk. My head began to feel fuzzy, as if the alcohol had been waiting for this exact moment, when I should be keeping my wits about me, to take effect. I swayed slightly as I made my way over to the edge of the balcony and leaned on the railing for support. Tai joined me, our shoulders brushing. Where his skin touched mine tingled, like it was statically charged, but I couldn't be sure that that wasn't another after effect of the alcohol.

"Ok I thin I'm a lot drunker than I thought I was." I said laughing.

"I think I am too." Tai replied in kind. "Now I'm out in the fresh air I'm definitely feeling it." We both laughed like drunken idiots before I opened my eyes and realised that Tai and I were a lot closer than I had thought we were. Our foreheads were practically touching and it would be so easy to lean forward and just kiss him even though I really shouldn't. Once he realised I had stopped laughing Tai did too and realised our situation as well.

"Tai…" I breathed. This was not good! Here I was; mere inches from kissing the guy who I've been fantasising about for about three or four months now, who is also effectively my boss, and the alcohol was telling me that it was a good idea to go for it while the sober voice that should be stopping me was getting easier to ignore. I should be pulling away but something kept me there.

Tai turned to that he was facing me and looked into my eyes. I couldn't tell what he was thinking and all I could do was stare up at him as he reached up to brush my fringe out of my eyes. It fell right back into place again and he chuckled softly before running his hand through my hair until he was cupping the back of my head. I couldn't do anything but stand there staring up at him, I was too nervous to move. I thought that if I did then it would all be over and it would have just been a dream or something.

Tai leaned forward using his grip on the back of my head to keep me in place, before tilting my head up slightly and pressing his lips to mine. My eyes snapped open and I froze up completely as our lips first touched but when I felt him begin to pull away I came back to myself. I sunk my hands into his hair and pulled him back in for another kiss.

Kissing Tai was unlike anything I had fantasised about, it was so much better! There was a tiny voice in the back of my head saying that this was only because of the alcohol but as he took my bottom lip between his teeth and gently dragged them over it I couldn't even begin to care. Tai's other hand had found its way to my waist and he wrapped his arm around me pulling me close. I licked his top lip playfully and soon tongues were added into the mix.

Our tongues danced over one another and a soft moan escaped my lips as Tai pulled me right up against his chest. I could feel all the muscles I had only seen in pictures and it was amazing. I could quite happily stay out here like this for the rest of the evening. The hand that was on my waist slipped underneath the hem of my shirt to rest on the small of my back and the skin contact was enough to pull another moan from my lips.

Finally Tai pulled back. He pressed another gentle kiss to my lips before pulling back completely. He still had one of his hands underneath my shirt while the other was in my hair though. He looked down at me and I was very tempted to lean forwards and kiss him again but he removed his hands and took a step back.

"Sorry," he said. "that was unprofessional."

"It's ok." I replied through the haze of lust and alcohol. "Drunken accident."

"We should probably go back inside." he said.

"Yeah…" I replied. I didn't want to. I wanted to stay out here and keep kissing him but he was right. This was unprofessional and a really bad idea, no matter how much I liked him and actually wanted to be with him. Even though he had suggested it he made no move to actually go back inside so I made my way over to the door a little unsteadily. Just as I passed him he reached out and grabbed my wrist.

"Oh fuck it!" I heard him muttered before he pulled me back round to face him, placed his hands on either side of my face, cupping it, and kissed me again. It was short but heated and I really didn't want him to pull away. But he did. This time he pulled away and went over to the door opened it and went back inside.

I stood, rooted to the stop, just staring after him for a good couple of minutes before a car backfired on the street bellow and brought me back to the real world. I went back inside and closed the door behind me. I couldn't see Tai anywhere – he had disappeared into the crowd while I was still reeling from what had just happened between us. I went into the kitchen and poured myself a large glass of vodka hoping to drink enough to have forgotten what had happened by the time I woke up tomorrow…
