Author Note: I heard this song on the radio about body shots and instantly had the idea for this. Don't throw things at me please. Kain's point of view, I'm feeling like writing from boys' points of view tonight.

I'm not exactly sure how Ruka ended up at a bar instead of at class, but when she drunk dialed me, I knew I had to go get her.
I didn't ask the Headmaster for permission, I had to get there and didn't have the time. I traced the call through my cell and found Ruka at a bar called Taichou's.
"Kain!" Ruka slurred. At least five guys were gathered around her like vultures waiting for something to die. "Hi Kain!" Ruka giggled, she was beyond tipsy and heading into smashed, and she still had a drink in her hand.
"Sweetheart, it's time to go home." I glared at the guys and they dispersed, apparently I was scary enough. "You need to sleep that off, Ruka."
"I haven't finished my drink..." She whined. "Just let me finish this drink... then I'll go with you, Aka-chan."
She hadn't called me that since we were three. She was obviously way too drunk for her own good, and technically she wasn't even legal.
"Alright, we're going." I called the bartender over and slammed down a $100. I didn't care what it took; I just needed to get Ruka out of there. I forced Ruka to set the glass down, and then picked her up, bridal style.
"Aka-chan!" Ruka squirmed in my arms, but she was too drunk to even get close to getting away. "I don't want to leave! I'm having fun! The guys like me here!"
I didn't bother to say that was because she was drunk and easy prey, it wouldn't stick now. She was too drunk to see straight, let alone think straight.
I took her back to the moon dorms, which were empty at the moment. I took her to her room and lay her on her bed, hoping that she wouldn't try that again.
"Aka-chan?" She was blushing, and I couldn't tell if it was because she was embarrassed or if it was just from all the alcohol she had consumed. "Aka-chan, will you lay with me?"
I debated momentarily. She might kill me in the morning, so was it worth it?
"Aka-chan!" She whined, making a grab for me. "Pretty please with sugar and a... a... a kiss! I'll give you a kiss if you lay with me!"
It was then I really began to wonder about how much alcohol was in her system. As far as I knew, she had never had those kinds of feelings for me.
"I'm not going to take advantage of you, Ruka." I backed away from the bed and headed for the door. "Talk to me about your feelings in the morning."
Just as I touched the doorknob, she screamed an eardrum-rattling scream, which slowly dissolved into sobs that hurt my chest.
"Ruka..." I turned towards her and took a step back toward the bed. "Ruka, why did you get drunk like that? That's not you."
"Lord Kaname..." Several more sobs wracked her body before she could continue. "Said he never wants my blood again, and that I was just convenient for him that time. I was just a toy to him... I feel so...so..." She whipped a pillow across the room. It hit the wall with a thump and slid down.
I gave in. I sat beside her, held her and let her cry. It hurt to hear her sob Lord Kaname's name, but at least she wasn't breaking anything.
"I'm tired..." She sighed when it had been light out for at least 30 minutes. Tears were still streaming down her face, but she had calmed down mostly. "Will you sleep with me Aka-chan?"
I sighed. If I wanted her to sleep off the alcohol, if I wanted her to sleep period, it didn't look like I had a choice.
I pulled her shoes off, then mine, and tucked us both in. Ruka fell asleep within a few minutes, but I didn't. When I finally passed out, I had dreams of Ruka, as always.
When I woke up, Ruka was leaning over me. "Morning, Akatsuki." Her eyes were slightly glazed over; it was obvious she had the hangover from hell.
"Morning... what are you doing?" I stayed where I was, unable to move.
"Well," Ruka laid her hands on my chest. "I'm pretty sure I promised you a kiss last night..."
"Ruka, you were drunk." I started to sit up, but she leaned in closer, forcing me back down. "You don't have to keep good on your word when you obviously weren't in your right mind..."
"Akatsuki?" Ruka asked. She had the faintest of smiles on her face, as if she had plotted something out.
"Yeah?" I stared up at her.
"Shut up." And then she was kissing me. I kept my hands to myself, but kissed back with every piece of my soul.
When I pulled away, blinking at her with shock in every fiber of my being, she just smiled. "Just because I was drunk doesn't mean I don't love you. Don't be stupid. Next time, assume I'm in my right mind. I didn't want to have to wait for my kiss."
Next time? "Oh there won't be a next time." I warned. "Because you're never going to cry again." I sat up and tipped her back onto the bed and kissed her again, leaning over her much the same way she had done with me.
Although the night before was terrible, we were together. And when someone asks us how we got together... well...
We usually just say alcohol was involved.
Author Note: Oh geez Louise, it's almost 2AM... and I have stuff to do today. Quick Note: the only song I would listen to while writing this was "To The Moon And Back" by Savage Garden. If you look it up, you'll see why, I think. As always, I love your opinions, whether they're in a review or a PM. And, of course, thank you for reading.
