( He used to dance when he was younger, something he stopped when their mother walked out, but it's been years. Apparently, it is just like riding a bike.
He lets loose, smile at 100 watts, slowing down to match Crash, spinning them both around and keeping close. He hasn't let himself be this close in ages. In years. In the spirit of the night, and in Crash's spirit he'd like to think, he throws caution to the wind when he spins Crash back to him.
He feels something. And so he does something.
He gives himself over to the moment and locks lips with Crash. Emotions have to come out somehow and in this case, they SPILL over. )
... Well, they did tell him to follow his whimsy. If his whimsy happens to lead him to kissing Crash, who is Crash to complain? It's not like Julian isn't hot either, so Crash is very willing to go with it.
He's also a good kisser.
Honestly this is coming out for Crash as a win thus far. They will have to discuss this turn of events with Aalis later.]
( Oh, this is one of those defining kisses. He loses himself in it and melts against the other person. He never lets himself turn his brain off, so he gives himself permission. What music? What other guests? Coworkers are all around, technically, and still, he persists. )
[Persisting is fine as far as Crash is concerned. They'll even take another step closer, allowing for a little more physical contact as they prepare to enjoy the moment. Whatever comes of this afterwards is a problem for future Crash to figure out, but for now, they intend to stay in the moment for as long as possible.
... Which is really going to amount until one of the dancers doesn't realize that the couple is standing still and kick ball changes their way right into Crash's back, sending them stumbling forward and jarring the kiss just slightly.]
( Julian attempts to brace the two of them as he loses his footing and balance, but he gets a (1) and takes Crash with him sailing to the ground at another couple's feet.
"Get a room!" the pinwheel haired girl half of the kicking couple says.
Another couple stumbles over them and loses their footing (3) and soon there is just a pile of bodies and limbs.
[Well. That's not how they wanted things to end. But before they can comment on it otherwise, one of bodies elbows them in the ribs and he groans instead.]
Medic.
[The weak joke is about all they get as they fight the urge to shapeshift into a smaller form so they can wriggle out from under the pile of bodies.]
( Enough people fall that the music even stops, with the bandleader taking the mic. He wants people to be careful and to not be hurt. The music pauses for long enough to people get their bearings and get back to their feet. The bandleader also throws an offhanded joke about being like normal people and making out in the bathroom.
Mortified, Julian helps Crash up carefully, trying not to elbow them or hurt them further. Julian walks the both of them off the dance floor, toward the bar. )
Do you really need a medic?
( He assesses, hands on each of their shoulders.
Slowly, the music kicks back in again, but people don't go right back on the dance floor. Some leave to get their coats from the coat check. )
( His hands move to Crash's face, acting more tenderly out of his concern and the vibe from before. )
I haven't kissed anyone and completely stopped a party before.
( He's usually a more together, more private... person.
Or a guy, he keeps back, because he knows Crash is a shapeshifter, and currently in the form of an admittedly handsome man. But, it's not really a hangup. He didn't know it wouldn't be, but he's spent years focusing on his sister's death clock, not his own. )
( He doesn't want the night to end. Partially, it's because of this connection, and partially because he doesn't know what awaits him or his sister tomorrow. )
If you have a good idea, I'll follow your lead. It's better than mine tonight.
( They were basically kicked off the dance floor. )

Nope. That was a joke to break the tension.
[With the people around them, not between Julian and Crash necessarily.]
Do you?

[They flash him a grin in response, so it's clear that they were an enthusiastic participant.]
But we probably shouldn't risk causing any other traffic jams.

( But, he smiles, and he doesn't bring his hands down or step away. )
I would - invite you back - but I'm living with, like, every Mikaelson alive and my sister.
no subject
[Because Aalis won the roshambo to get the single.]
But we could leave the party and find other kinds of fun?

[That being said, they'll send a text to Aalis and Dolls proclaiming that they're leaving the party and not to wait up.]
Let's get out of here.
