Note: Originally posted on LJ 13th June 2009. Follow-up to the drabble "Crush". Forgot to metnion in the first chapter that the very lemony stuff can also be found on my .moon account, where I have this same collection of drabbles.

Anyway, thank you all so far who've reviewed! :D

(As a side note, this is kind of like a sequel to "Crush")

"I can't believe they didn't card you," Kenshin shouted over the loud, beating music, his voice tinted with disbelief but his eyes twinkling with amusement. "And I can't believe they carded me. I'm twenty eight for crying out loud!"

Kaoru giggled, barely heard over the club's noise, and downed her third drink in the span of thirty minutes. "Still, the look on his face when he saw your age…that was priceless!"

He sighed at her obvious glee, taking a sip of his beer to distract himself from how she was leaning over the small, rounded table to peer up at his face with smiling eyes. The way it complimented her sparkly-blue top's low cut and her enticing cleavage was very distracting, so he carefully turned his head away to observe the mass of sweating bodies – jumping to a beat that vibrated through his body due to its heavy bass – in order to keep himself in check. It didn't work, since he clearly saw her out of the corner of his eye making a familiar, teasing pout.

It had been three weeks since Tomoe's rejection, yet he felt little guilt for admiring his friend across the table, stealing heated glances every now and then as she observed him with a grin. She had been by his side almost constantly as he recovered unnervingly fast. He hadn't until recently realized that the reason why was none other than her, sitting across the table, and he had never felt more stupid than that moment of silent revelation a few days prior to their current outing. It was so obvious.

She had made things clear to him when she'd come barging into his small apartment and announced she had cancelled his business trip with Aoshi this weekend (and rescheduled it for the next instead), proclaiming his need to let loose and forget his worries on a night out with his friends. The fact that she had gone as far as to persuade Aoshi to postpone a business trip (which was close to impossible, but he had yet to make her spill her secret as to how she'd done it) and, apparently, missed quite a few classes to visit him and make sure he ate had done funny things with his heart and he suddenly knew why the first person that flashed through his mind as Tomoe had turned him down was Kamiya Kaoru.

And now, here she was, alone by their table after they both had been abounded by a rooster head and an overly smug fox in favor of using dancing as an excuse to grope shamelessly. He found himself wishing he'd followed, dragging Kaoru along to take proper advantage of the situation. But he had hesitated, not yet drunk enough to allow his instincts and impulses to rule. Now he had consumed enough beers, and even a few Jägermister shots to go with them, to feel his mind lighten and smile grow goofy. He turned his head towards his suddenly silent companion to be met with twinkling, blue eyes and a smile that meant she was up to something.

"Point someone out," she said, making him blink in confusion. She laughed at his expression before continuing. "Come on! Point someone out in the crowd, someone you want to forget her with! I want to know what your type is!"

At her explanation he blushed, unused to such boldness, but didn't have time to reply before she interrupted him. "Like that girl over there? See? The blonde one?" she said, pointing at a young woman clad in a revealing dress and high stilettos. He winced as she bumped into a few people on her way over to the bar, obviously too drunk to walk straight.

"No, not her," he said, taking another sip of beer and eying her delicious pout. "That's not my type at all."

"A red-head then?" she asked, seeming eager to find out. "Or a brunette?"

He felt that he would be cruel if he didn't satisfy her curiosity, so he placed his beer on the table and met her slightly dazed eyes with a grin.

"No, you are my type, Kaoru."

Exactly my type.
