Wow well THIS came out of nowhere XD I was just in a really fangirly mood I guess. I figured since I have it done, I might as well post it. You all can thank me for neglecting my homework for this. I hope you like it, seriously. I've never even attempted to write a romance before.

"Here you go Ma'am. From that gentleman over at the bar" Meiko was handed what appeared to be a scotch and looked over in the blue man's direction as he quickly turned his head as she did when he caught her staring at him intently.

"Uhm sir, you must be mista-" she was cut off.

"Look ma'am, if you don't want the drink I can always take it back, but he's still going to have to pay"

"No, no, that won't be necessary. Thank you so much." Meiko said nervously

"Why would he buy me a drink? Did he notice me staring at him? Oh God, I knew he noticed… Now he probably thinks I have a thing for him… What a cliché thing to do, buying a strange woman a drink. He probably thinks he's super slick." Meiko's mind was racing with thoughts, almost positive that this guy had too cocky of an attitude.

She then looked back over in his direction when she felt his gaze once more. This time when she went to glance over, he didn't look away. Their eyes locked onto one another's as if they were reading each other's thoughts. The blue man smiled at her as he laid his head in the palm of his hand that rested on the counter. Meiko couldn't help but turn a bright red from his charming smile. What did he see in her? Why couldn't they look away from each other?

After a small moment, Luka had returned from the restroom, cutting off the view between the two of them. "Sorry I took so long" Luka apologized. "There's only one toilet and someone was using it to puke their guts out."

Meiko didn't respond. She just sat there looking extremely tense.

"Meiko is there something wro— …Meiko, Where did you get that drink? I know that's not what I ordered you" Luka said sounding extremely suspicious.

Meiko again didn't say anything, she just pointed her head toward where the blue fellow was sitting.

"OH MY GOSH MEIKO, DID HE-HOW DID YOU? WOW HE'S GORGEOUS. I AM SO SORRY FOR INTERRUPTING." Luka quickly got up and pretty much abandoned the woman she escorted to this unfamiliar setting.

Meiko tried grabbing her arm to pull her back, but failed as she was too slow. She noticed Luka going over to that blue-haired man, saw that she whispered something to him, but she couldn't make out a thing. All she could do was sit there.

Luka walked back to Meiko giving her a sigh of relief until she noticed she only came back just to say goodbye.

"Good luck, sweetie" she said as she rubbed her shoulder and gave a wink.

Luka proceeded to walk out the door as Meiko angrily yelled "You're a horrible friend!"

All she got in return was an "I love you too, sweetie!" and Luka disappeared.

Meiko sat at her small table feeling incredibly tense now. She didn't exactly know what to do but just sit there and wait for something to happen. She noticed the blue man coming closer to the table.

"I'm really sorry to bother you…" He said very nervously rubbing the back of his neck. "Uhm… would it be at all okay if I sit here and keep you company? You know… being your friend left and all…"

Meiko was still in a little bit of shock, but a new shock had hit her when he asked to join her. She didn't expect him to sound so… scared. It seemed to her that he was just as, if not more, scared and nervous that she was. All she could do was point her head in the direction of the chair as a sign for him to sit.

"Hi, you proooobably want to know who I am" He said with a small chuckle. "My name's Kaito. I'm really sorry for making such a cliché move on you, but to be honest… your beauty kind of took my breath away and I just needed to find anything to be able to talk to you."

Meiko was actually extremely flattered by his words. Normally she wouldn't care if a man complimented anything about her. Though, in all honesty, it was a rare occurrence for her. The last time she remembered a man "complimenting" her appearance, it was some drunk guy she didn't know from the third floor of the office commenting on how big her boobs were.

"That's very kind of you. To be honest, I assumed you must be a creep when I got the drink. But I was extremely surprised. How did you know scotch was my favorite?" Meiko let out a small smile followed by a giggle.

"WOW OH MY GOD SHE HAS THE CUTEST GIGGLE IN THE WORLD. KEEP IT COOL, KEEP IT COOL" Kaito tensed up but was trying to keep his composure in front of this gorgeous, seemingly classy woman.

"To be honest I don't normally do this kind of thing" Kaito claimed. "Lately life has just… been a bit of a handful and I'm just trying to relax a little bit and put my mind at ease, even if just for the night."

"Oh really?" Meiko chuckled. "It's funny… I came doing pretty much the exact same thing. Well… My coworker kind of dragged me here. She's a regular and, to be honest, I couldn't say no to her kindness. I did kind of need it anyways. I just wish she didn't abandon me…" Meiko grumbled.

Kaito laughed, "It's okay, I won't let anything happen to you-" Kaito paused for a second realizing what he had just said to this woman whose name he didn't even know. "That is… if you want me to stick around. I mean, you seem capable of handling yourself and everything, but I just wasn't sure…"

Meiko bursted out into laughter, leaving Kaito in confusion. "Wow, okay just stop! I'm going to fall off my chair if you don't stop talking" She wiped tears from her eyes.

"What's so funny?" Kaito whined

"Oh nothing, you're just so adorable. Yes, of course you can keep me company. The night is still young, right?"

Kaito swore he could hear a hint of seduction in her voice, but just brushed it off, knowing he must have misheard how she said it.

"That it is" he laughed

Kaito then suddenly remembered something. "Oh, also, I'm sorry, I don't think you ever told me your name."

"Oh my name's nothing really special. It's just Meiko."

Maybe it wasn't special to her, but Kaito was mesmerized by the name. "I think that name suits you a great deal, Meiko."

"Oh really how so? I've always hated it."

"I don't know… It just has a simple beauty to it. It's short, doesn't have anything fancy in it, but it sounds absolutely beautiful. I guess it just fits with your natural beauty" He said quietly as he stared into her eyes.

Meiko developed this big smile that she was unable to wipe off her face. "Wow, you really are slick. And you're telling me this isn't a regular thing for you?" She asked with suspicion.

"What?" Kaito sounded a little insulted. "No, really, you're the first. Honest, I've never felt like this meeting any woman for the first time. You make it so easy to talk to you. It just… feels like you already know me somehow."

" Well… I guess the first thing I noticed about you was that you looked exhausted when you walked in. You kind of remind me of well… Me. I've been working way too much, and I know I shouldn't be working my body so hard, but I need to or else my company will suffer further consequences than it already has… With the economy we're a little understaffed, so I try to pick up what my employees can't. I try to make sure they can be home on time and spend time with their family and friends. I live by myself so it's easy to just stay at the office as long as possible." Meiko was looking down at the table as she spoke what seemed to be a confession to an almost complete stranger.

"Wow, that's very noble of you. I can't believe you'd do that for your employees… You have a bigger heart than most people."

"Ha, if only that were true…" Meiko sighed

"It is!" Kaito exclaimed. "Meiko, I would kill to have a boss like you. Honest. You're so amazing…" He didn't really intend for that last part to come out, it just kind of… slipped.

Kaito looked at the clock on the wall and noticed it was already well past midnight. He didn't realize they had been sitting there talking already for quite a few hours. "Hey Meiko, it's getting kind of late. Do you need help getting to a cab?"

"Oh no, thank you. My apartment is actually not that far away from here. I'd prefer to just walk." Meiko had a slight hope that he'd offer to walk her home, but didn't want to be too expectant.

"Then I should walk you home, no?" Kaito said with a large grin

Meiko's heart seemed to skip a beat or two, but she couldn't refuse the offer. "I would be delighted to have you accompany me" she said happily.

The two left the bar, both a tiny bit tipsy from having a few more glasses of the scotch. Both were sober enough though to not have their vision or personality altered. Kaito held out his arm for Meiko to grab onto, which she delightfully took hold of as they continued walking.

This walk through the city seemed different to Meiko than her walk to the bar with Luka. She was almost… happy to be out this late at night just strolling the continuously bustling city streets. She didn't notice any ugly stares this time. It felt to her like it was just her and Kaito walking down, peacefully, on an empty path. She hugged onto his arm tightly as they walked, snuggling her head up against his shoulder. Kaito was in a bit of a shock at her warmth and his face contained a bright red glow almost the entire time walking. He secretly hoped they'd continue strolling on forever, never making it to her home. But after receiving a few directions from Meiko, they ended up at her complex.

"Wow you were right when you said you didn't live far away" Kaito said in surprise

"Yeah, I know… To be honest, I didn't want our walk to end. I really enjoyed tonight; everything about it. Even right now, it's killing me on the inside to think I have to tell you to leave in a few moments. I haven't had a good night like this in a very long time, and I really appreciate it." Meiko's eyes glistened, seeming to be tearing up as she sounded so sincere.

"I really feel the same" Kaito chuckled as he gazed into her beautiful brown eyes.

Kaito's heart began beating out of control when he noticed the space between them began to become smaller and smaller. He then realized Meiko was reaching up to him, and she gave him a sweet slow kiss on his left cheek.

He noticed her bright red glow on her face, and just found that to be the cutest thing he'd ever seen. He knew he had to do it or else he wouldn't be at all content with this perfect night. He wrapped his hands around her waist, and bent down to meet his face to hers.

Their lips softly met, and he noticed she didn't try to pull away. At first, he could tell, she seemed a bit uneasy, but she slowly wrapped her arms around his neck and embraced him, pulling him closer.

They both felt a surge of electricity run through their whole bodies as they continued to consensually become more and more passionate.

After a few moments, Meiko broke herself from the kiss, breathing more heavily than before. She just stared into his eyes longingly and boldy told him, "The night is still young" as she smiled and bit her bottom lip.

This time Kaito knew there was seduction in her tone. It was definitely working, but what was he supposed to do? He knew she had a few drinks. But so did he. Was this considered taking advantage of her? He didn't want to do that to any woman, much less Meiko.

Kaito just stood there frozen while staring into Meiko's big brown, hungry eyes. Her eyes then started to become a bit sad…

"Kaito… Please don't feel like you're taking advantage of me or anything. I can tell you want what I want. There's nothing wrong with it, is there? We're both adults."

Kaito still stood there speechless.

"It's just that… Tonight has been absolutely perfect. I've honestly never felt this way another person in my life! You're sweet, and handsome, and I just want you to continue taking care of me, just for the night. I'm all yours; All of me. As long as you'll have me…" She looked down and let out a big deep breath as if all of that were the most difficult things she's ever had to say.

Kaito broke out of his frozen position and lifted up her chin with his one finger and planted a long, soft kiss full of passion deep into her lips.

"Well if that is your wish, then I can't refuse a woman like you." He leaned back in for another passionate kiss, but before doing so, he softly whispered in her ear "You're so beautiful…" and they continued their passionate display as Meiko led them all the way to her apartment.

This was the night that changed both of them for forever.
