( 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.

[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.
