Den Of Dragons: The Twins In Love

Oriko had been staring into his drink with a smug grin on his lips for a moment before taking a hearty swig. It wasn't his first time drinking, surprisingly enough, back in the States him and a few buddies had raided the liquor cabinets of their parents during the fancy parties they weren't allowed to attend and played video games or read comic books together. He was never really into sports, and his love of drama and the theatric arts singled him out quite easily. Unfortunately, this did nothing for his lightweight status that was still in effect, one, maybe two more coke and rums and he'd be rather intoxicated.

"Well, I was thinking we could head downstairs, really break it down and get our groove on." He grinned and leaned lightly into Kasai, bringing his empty hand up to wrap around Kasai's free arm and hugged it to himself gently. "Ever seen A Night at the Roxburry? Some epic beats in that movie man." He grinned and finished off his drink, the soda made it easier for him to stomach the rum. Leaning in closer he teased Kasai's ear with his nose before adding in a teasing whisper. "That, and tonight, I do believe it's your turn." A sultry chuckle followed this, not saying anything further Oriko sat himself back up properly and winked teasingly.

Kori watched in amusement as Satoshi drank half his beer in one go. She didn’t know if he was thirsty or if he just needed the ‘liquid courage’, either way, he looked refreshed afterward. When he took her glass to try the cider, she half expected him to take a big gulp, but instead he took the smallest of sips. Taking back her glass, she took a sip with a smile.

Arching a brow at Satoshi’s question, she had to wonder if he was anticipating this being a normal thing. “No, not really. I usually like to stay in most nights, or kept it low key. But I needed to blow off some steam and Aiya and Akio were already on their way out, so I thought, ‘why not’?” Shrugging a shoulder, she gave Satoshi a smile. She was feeling a bit flirty – whether it was because of the way he looked and was looking at her, or because the alcohol was freeing her of her inhibitions, she didn’t know or care.

Hearing his last comment, Kori smiled wide. She knew what he meant and she was glad to know that her outfit had done the trick. Normally she kept her outfits, hair and make-up low key, but if she wanted to dress up and turn heads, she could. To know that Satoshi liked what he saw, it really boosted her ego.

“Mission accomplished, huh?” Smirking, she playfully nudged Satoshi with her shoulder. “Not going to lie, Sato…you’re turning a lot of heads tonight too…including mine.” Blushing a bit, she took another sip of her drink.

Looking around the Club, Kori found that while it was fun and the music was good, this wasn’t her scene and she was beginning to suspect that it wasn’t Satoshi’s either. Leaning a bit closer, she nudged Satoshi again. “Hey, after we finish our drinks, do you want to get out of here?” She wasn’t opposed to going for a ride in Satoshi’s car or maybe for a walk through the park…The night was still young after all.

Kasai wasn’t opposed to getting his groove on down on the dance floor. As long as no one messed with them, it’d be fine. There was no telling what people would say or do when two good looking guys started dancing with one another, hands all over one another. He knew that no everyone was tolerant of gay couples and he wasn’t naïve enough to think that they wouldn’t get hassled if they were openly affectionate in public.

As Oriko leaned close, his nose lightly teasing his ear, he smiled, liking the attention. But Oriko's words sent a thrill up his spine. Eyes going a bit wide, he looked at his lover with a knowing smile. Yes, he was right, it was his turn…and if Oriko said that he wanted to ditch the Club and head home now, he was ready to pay the tab and go.

“Love, if you want to head home now, I’m so down.” Offering him a charming smile, he moved a bit closer to his fiancé. Reaching over, Kas grabbed Oriko’s hand, looking down at his ring he smiled at the ‘I love you’ inscribed on it. It was so true. He couldn’t wait until they could live together and really take their vows. He knew he was young, but Kas knew that Oriko was the love of his life. He didn’t want anyone else and he couldn’t wait to tell the whole world that Oriko was his and only his…

He had to admit, he was grateful to hear that this wasn't exactly the norm for Kori's nights. That it was an impulse to go clubbing because her friends were already heading out helped him relax a bit further, happy to know he wouldn't need to beat guys away from her too regularly. There was only one guy he was still a touch worried about having to deal with and that was Hayate, Sato being completely unaware that he'd followed them to the club started feeling more confident about his ability to win Kori's affections permanently. He just needed to clean up the mess his phone snooping had caused and make sure he didn't do anything else to upset his Angel.

Modestly bowing his head as she returned the complement with one of her own, Satoshi smiled, pleased that he had also succeeded in capturing her attention tonight, along with that of every other female within the club. "Thank you Angel, but I can't even hold a candle to how well you put yourself together." He was being honest, having only dressed to the nines in order to be just as eye grabbing as she was. Sato thought they complemented each other quite well.

Her suggestion made him grin, and without hesitation he finished off his beer and pushed the empty glass away from himself. "I though you'd never ask." Sato knew if he was pulled over by a cop he'd fail a breath test, but he was sober enough to take them anywhere she might want to go. The way his metabolism burned through most food and drink the alcohol would pass through his system in no time at all.

"Want to go for a fun spin?" He offered while holding up his keys with a small jingle. Satoshi figured the guys would either catch a lift with Akio or even cab home, a glance over to them seemed to reveal they were enjoying themselves.

Bingo. Oriko grinned mischievously as he watched Kasai's reaction to the sweet words he'd whispered, that knowing smile sending tingles down his own spine. The charming smile coupled with Kas reaching out and taking his hand really helped the words sink in. They had only tagged along to act as wingmen, and Sato seemed to be doing just fine on his own now that he had Kori's full attention. Oriko couldn't think of any real reason to stick around, he could always go DJ back at the highrise and play the song he had in mind on the Twins' boss as hell sound system.

Pounding back the last of his crown and made a small show of licking a few stray drops from his lower lip, his gaze never leaving Kasai's. Standing up he felt the world slowly begin to sway, the sensation making him rethink the desire for one more drink for the road. "Well I think our ride is probably going to bail on us, so how about we play it safe and call Edward or a cab. Either way I'm down for heading out too." He knew that there were plenty of guys that were usually on stand by for Kori and Kasai that would rather they got a reliable lift home than anything. Never mind that Akio was having a night with his own lady, and Oriko knew he wouldn't be happy if someone called Kasai away from him when they were trying to have a fun night, far be it from him to do such a thing to someone else.

Seeing Satoshi's reaction to her suggestion brought a smile to her lips - she'd never seen a guy down his beer so fast. Taking a long drag from her own glass, she set it down on the counter and pushed it away, indicating that she too was finished, despite there still being half a glass. Seeing Satoshi's keys, she smiled wide, more than happy to go for a ride in Honey. If their trips to and from school were any indication, Satoshi was a master behind the wheel and a night ride sounded like a great way to end the evening.

"Oooo, is this the part where you take your hot date for a fun ride in your awesome car to impress her and make her swoon?" She teased lightly, knowing full well that at least part of her statement was true. Satoshi's smile only confirmed her suspicions. "I'd love to~! Just need to grab my stuff and let Akio and Aiya know that I'm catching a ride with you." Catching sight of Kasai and Oriko down the way, Kori smirked. It seemed that the boys had come to act as Satoshi's wingmen. Shaking her head, a bit, she leaned in to place a light kiss on Satoshi's lips. "You coordinate with the boys. I'll meet you by the front door."

With that being said, Kori slipped out of her seat at the bar and headed for the VIP bag check. Tipping the checker, she grabbed her things, pulling on her leather jacket before heading for the stairs, hips swaying as she descended. Several sets of eyes, both male and female we're on her as she reached the ground floor, but one set of eyes was locked onto her - Hayate's. Slipping through the crowd, Kori moved toward Akio and Aiya who were still killing it on the dance floor. Placing a hand on Akios shoulder, she laughed when Aiya nearly glared daggers at her, thinking Kori was some random girl trying to make a move on her man.

"Whoa girl, sheath the claws." Kori teased, her voice hardly carrying over the music. Aiya smiled and winked at her. "You know I love you! I just gotta watch out for these girls who want to steal my man~!" Kori looked to Akio with a smile. He merely shrugged a shoulder. They both knew that he was just as territorial over Aiya, but that was a whole other story.

"I'm heading out. Satoshi and I are gonna go for a ride." Of course, in true best friend fashion, Aiya smiled wide, immediately assuming something was going to happen between Kori and Satoshi on this 'ride'. "Giiiiirl~! You go! I saw you two making out on the dance floor." Aiya said with a playful nudge before wrapping an arm around Kori's torso. There was no use arguing with Aiya, her BFF would only tease her more - but that's what BFFs were for right? "Love ya, girl. Be safe! Text me later!" Leaning in, Aiya gave her a little kiss on the cheek before removing her arm from Kori’s hips. Akio smiled down at her before giving her a little hug and a kiss on the cheek as well. It was obvious that they were both happy to see her in a better mood - she was glad too.

Wishing them both a good night, Kori headed off the dance floor, weaving around couples as she went. As she stepped away from the gyrating crowd, she felt a hand slip into hers. Assuming that it was Satoshi, she turned toward the man at her side, a wide smile on her face. But as she looked up, she quickly realized that it was Hayate's hand she was holding. "Hey babe, looking good." Dressed to the nines, he looked as good as any other guy in the Club, but neither his appearance, nor his touch set her heart racing. This told her one thing - she was getting over her infatuation with Hayate.

As she tried to slip her hand out of his, he only held it tighter. “Kor, come on…Just talk to me. Please.” Hayate said as he led her to a more secluded area of the Club where they could have a chance to talk. “Look, I know I messed up, but you won’t give me a chance to explain.” To his credit, Hayate did look sorry, but it didn’t matter. He’d made his choice and she’d made hers. She’d already begun to move on as a result and she already knew that she was developing some deep feelings for Satoshi. Yeah, Hayate might think that Kori was using Satoshi as a rebound, but it wasn’t like that. She’d wanted him before the break-up and she wanted him even more now.

‘If you love two people at the same time, choose the second. Because if you really loved the first, you wouldn’t have fallen for the second.’ Johnny Depp knew what he was talking about. While she wouldn’t say she loved Hayate or Satoshi, she had developed feelings for Satoshi while she’d still been with Hayate…and that was saying something. Not to mention the fact that Hayate had chosen Julie over her…it was the same thing. He’d had Kori and Julie had come along. If he’d really loved Kori, he wouldn’t have fallen for his Ex.

While she didn’t want to talk to Hayate, especially not in the crowded Club, she looked him right in the eye and spoke. “You don’t need to explain, Hayate. Nothing you can say will make me change my mind.” This wasn’t anything she hadn’t already told him via text message or through her actions, but it was all she could say.

Frowning lightly, he gripped her hand a little tighter, silently letting her know that he wasn’t about to let her go. “Well, if my words wont convince you, maybe this will.” Before Kori could question what he meant, Hayate wrapped his free arm around her and pulled her close. Tipping her back a bit so she was off balance, he leaned in to kiss her…

He was unable to hide the blush her teasing caused, his cheeks tinting a soft rose in contrast to his pale skin and white attire. "Something like that..." Sato admitted with a cheesy smile. He followed her gaze and noticed her noticing the boys that had tagged along, even though it hadn't been necessary he was glad they had tagged along. The light kiss to his lips set him on fire almost more than their passionate exchange on the dance floor, it was the little things that kept him wanting more. "You got it Angel, I'll meet you there." He nodded and watched her slip off for a few moments before lifting from his spot to head over to the boys, taking his cell from his pocket as he did so and shooting Edward a text.

To: Edward
From: Nakamura
Message: Hey Ed, Kas and his boyfriend need a pick up from Club Royal. I've got Kori, gonna hang out a bit longer before heading home. Thanks a bunch man.

The text was sent off just as he reached the guys as Oriko had stood up from his seat. "Hey, thanks for coming out with me guys. Kori and I are going to go for a small spin before heading back to the Highrise, I've shot a text to Edward already to come scoop you guys up, since it seems you're already set to head out." And with the way Oriko was looking Satoshi could only imagine how the liquor had hit him. "I'll see you two at home. Take it easy."

Stepping away from the lovebirds he scoped out the dance floor in time to see Kori parting company from her best friend and making her way through the crowd. He headed for the stairs, doing his best to keep an eye on her position as he made his way for the doors. Once on ground level Satoshi lost sight of Kori, but knew she should be nearby. Heading for the door he waited a moment for her before frowning, it wasn't like her to dawdle, instantly he was on edge as he handed off his ticket to the valet then began to search the crowd for her.

By the time he found her in a relatively hidden part of the club Sato was on full alert and growing angrier by the second, he had suspected that someone had intercepted her, but nothing could have prepared him for what he was about to witness. Hayate was touching Kori, holding her close and tipping her backwards in order to steal a kiss. He didn't think, Sato flew into action before he could even fathom saying anything. Closing the gap between them he shot his hand out to reach between Kori and Hayate, fingers gripping tightly around the kid's throat while he slid his other arm around Kori, ready to catch her when Hayate released her out of shock and attempted to grab at Sato's arm in order to remove his hand from his throat.

"You really don't learn do you? She asked, and told you to leave her alone. This is your last warning, if you do not cease and desist this line of action I will make you regret ever being born, let alone the decision to mess with Kori Yamada." As he was speaking Satoshi caught sight of security coming up to handle the situation, they didn't move to stop him, but he knew better than to cause any more trouble than he could handle. Releasing Hayate's throat with a shove he made sure the kid stumbled backwards, and even then the creep glared up at him with those stupid contact lensed eyes. "You're garbage for the way you treated her, don't ever let yourself think that you deserve a woman like her."

Wrapping his arm around Kori he escorted her outside to the car, the valet having been waiting to make sure he got his keys back. Opening the door for Kori he waited until she was settled before closing the door and hopping into the drivers side and pulling away from the club.

As soon as Oriko stood up, Kasai noticed how he swayed a bit, as if off balance. Moving out of his seat, he immediately wrapped an arm around Oriko’s lower back to help steady him. “Whoa there, babe.” Luckily for them both, Oriko wasn’t drunk, merely a bit buzzed – the same went for him. He was felling a nice buzz, and knew that in an hour or so he’d be back to his normal, awesome self.

Kasai had been about to grab his cell when Satoshi approached them from across the bar. As if he’d read their minds, Satoshi had already arranged a ride home for them – seeing as how he was bailing with Kori, it was a good move in his part. Considering that the whole point of coming out tonight was for Satoshi to get back into Kori's good graces, Kasai was considering this mission, accomplished.

“Nice! Way to go Satoshi. And I don’t say that lightly – Kori is my precious little sister and I wouldn’t give her to just anyone. But I like you Sato and I feel like you really care about her. So I’m going to give you my blessing.” Kasai already had, he wouldn’t have come out tonight as Sato’s wingman if he didn’t support Satoshi’s intentions. But he knew that saying it out loud would go a long way to reassuring the guy that if Kori wanted to date him that he wouldn’t have to worry about her protective big brother getting in the way.

After saying goodnight to Satoshi, Kasai and Oriko headed for the cushioned seats of the VIP lounge area. He knew their ride would take a while to get to the Club, so why not just relax until then? Taking a seat, he wrapped his arm over Oriko’s shoulders to pull him close. “So…gonna play DJ when we get home huh? Whats this song you want me to hear?” He had to admit he was curious, but if Oriko wanted to keep it a surprise, he’d wait until they got home.

Kori had been about to raise her knee into Hayate’s groin when she felt another arm come around her. Looking up in surprise, she nearly gasped when she saw Satoshi reach out to clasp Hayate by the throat. The look of pure anger and hatred in Satoshi’s eyes was unlike any expression she’d ever seen him use. He was so intense and intimidating. She knew that this was a side of Satoshi that she didn’t want to see very often – even if it was kind of hot that he could be so tough.

Hearing Satoshi’s words over the pounding music, she had to wonder when he’d given Hayate a warning before. Had Hayate had a run-in with Satoshi that she didn’t know about? There was no time to contemplate the question before Satoshi shoved Hayate away from them. Looking from Sato to Hayate, she didn’t say a word. While she wouldn’t have been so harsh toward Hayate, Satoshi did make very valid points. She’d asked him to leave her alone and he’d ignored her. Hayate had treated her terribly and yet here he was, wanting her back. All she wanted was to move on and he wouldn’t let her – maybe now, he’d realize he had no chance of getting her back.

Without a word, she walked with Satoshi as he led her out of the Club. Getting into Honey, she buckled in and waited for Satoshi to pull out of the area before she said anything. “Thank you, Satoshi…for what you did back there.” Yes, it was part of his job to protect her from unwanted advances made by creeps, but she knew that he hadn’t done It because it was ‘his job’, Satoshi had defended her and said those things because he’d meant them. Given the way she and Satoshi had been interacting all night, she hoped they were heading toward a relationship…but she wasn’t about to assume anything. She’d just gotten out of a bad relationship, clearly, and she didn’t want to rush into anything. Satoshi would not be her rebound guy. They had chemistry and she really liked him.

“So…what should we do to blow off some steam?” She was still up for a night ride, if he wanted to drive. He was clearly upset over what had happened and knew he liked to drive to destress...so my not have some fun? “Wanna show me what Honey can really do? I know you don’t drive this beauty just because she handles well…” Kori suspected that Satoshi raced cars, but she wasn’t about to assume anything…Besides, it would be so much more run if he showed her…

Oriko was just a smiling mess when Sato came over and confirmed that they had a ride on the way. All was right in the world and he couldn't be happier, he did chuckle a bit at the protective big brother that was Kasai, it was cute, one of the many things that had lead to him falling for the young man at his side.

Once they were on their own again he followed Kasai's lead over to the plush seats and gladly leaned into him when the arm around his shoulders pulled on his form. "Mhmm, there's this one song that I can't seem to get out of my head, even with all the awesome music that's being played right now." He had nothing against the current DJ's choice in tunes, but the song in his head needed to be let out or he was going to start singing it himself, and Kasai didn't need to find out how tone deaf Oriko could get when intoxicated. "It's probably a good thing I'm not gonna bug the DJ about it, I can't remember the name now, but I'll know it when I hear it." Patiently he waited with his love for their ride, slowly becoming anxious about getting back to the highrise to flip through the playlist on the stereo.

He almost didn't hear Kori's thanks as he was still quite cheesed about what had happened back in the club. Everything had been going so well! Then that creep had to show his ugly face and damn near ruin the entire night! It took a lot of energy to keep his frustration contained, but he did manage an effortless smile for his Angel in the passenger seat, she was not the source of his angst so he wouldn't even think about taking it out on her. "You're most welcome Angel." He contained the crude urge to mutter something like 'he had it coming' or any of the other rude things along those lines that were churning through his skull, she didn't need to hear it, didn't deserve to be spoken to in such a way either.

Then something magical happened, she asked what they should do to blow off some steam, and asked to see what Honey was capable of. In that instant all of the negativity was thrown out the window and Sato brightened up like a kid who'd been allowed to bring his favourite toy to show and tell at school. "Okay, just a word of warning, the grip bar is there for a good reason." He said once they came to a red light, there was no other traffic, so he took the chance to point to the handle installed in the roof above her window.

When the light hit green he pushed down on the gas firmly, sending the car rocketing away down the straight that was the main drag, heading out of town. He knew of a rookie race that was going on not far from where they were, so he made for the track of road that had been selected for it at near breakneck speed. His driving wasn't super crazy, he had precious cargo next to him and didn't want to risk hurting her by accident, but it was dramatic enough to show off his prowess as a racer, drifting around wide corners and zig-zaging through s-turns.

Coming upon the race he glanced to Kori with a grin, pure joy in his eyes. He lived for his night races. They reached the back of the pack not long after the go had been signalled for the other racers, and in a matter of five minutes wove his way through the group of seven cars into first place.

Kasai was ready to listen to music all night if it meant helping Oriko remember the song that he wanted to share with him. Anything for his baby. Wrapping an arm around Oriko’s shoulders, Kasai placed a lightly kiss on Oriko’s neck while they lounged in the VIP section and waited for their ride.

By the time Edward arrived, some of Kasai’s buzz had worn off, but he didn’t really mind. He was enjoying his time at the Club with Oriko, with or without the alcohol, he was having fun. “Our ride’s here.” He said over the music before arising from his seat. Offering Oriko his hand, he helped his boyfriend up but didn’t relinquish his hand once he was standing. Smirking at Oriko, he led the way out of the VIP area, guiding Oriko by the hand the whole way. He didn’t care who saw or what they thought.

The ride home was fast and uneventful. After thanking Edward, the couple headed up the elevator and into the apartment. Kasai knew that Oriko wanted to get that song out of his head, but before his boyfriend could wander off to play with the stereo, Kasai stopped him. “Oriko…we have the apartment to ourselves…” While this wasn’t a rare occurrence, they didn’t know when Kori would be coming back, and it was Kasai’s turn…

Smiling a bit teasingly at Oriko, he placed a loving kiss on his boyfriend’s lips before slipping out of reach. Heading down the hall for his room, Kasai dropped his jacket on the hallway floor. His shirt quickly followed. By the time he stepped into the bedroom, there was only one way to find out what else he’d taken off – to follow.

Kori didn’t miss the way Satoshi’s mood lifted when she mentioned him showing her what his car was capable of. He was passionate about Honey and she wanted him to show her off a bit. Taking his advice, Kori reached up to grab the grip bar with her right hand. Smiling over at Satoshi, she waited for the light to turn green. As it did, she was pushed back in her seat from the force of his car racing forward from the sudden hit to the gas.

Laughing, her heart racing, he glanced at Satoshi, who was clearly in his element. Gripping the steering wheel and handling his car with ease as they flew down the road, he was in total control – it was HOT. Turning her attention back ahead of her, she watched as they literally flew down the street. When he glanced at her, a grin on his lips and a look of pure joy in his eyes, she couldn’t help but smile back.

It didn’t take Satoshi long to reach an area that was obviously meant for a race. Curious as to what they were doing, she watched as they flew threw an area that was clearly made up as a crude starting line. To her amazement, they were in a race! Letting out a call of excitement, she held onto the grip bar and watched, adrenaline pumping, as Satoshi maneuvered up the line and in a matter of minutes, was in first place.

As they sped down the track and through the finish line, she couldn’t help but let out a whoop of excitement. Grinning wide, she looked to Satoshi in astonishment. “Oh my gosh! SATOSHI!? Why didn’t you tell me that you RACE CARS?!” She knew that he wasn’t an amateur. He’d know exactly where to come for the race and he’d handled his car like a seasoned veteran. “That was so much fun!!” With the adrenaline from the race coursing through her and her excitement on high, all of her worries and irritation had vanished. She felt light as a feather and just as high…it was an amazing feeling and one that she knew would become highly addictive…

During the wait, the song in mind kept playing through his mind as he gazed adoringly upon Kasai, so much so that by the time their ride came he had remembered the name of the track and who played it even. He felt a bit silly, it was an older song that most people probably wouldn't even know, at least not at the club. Oriko held onto the name for dear life as they rode back to the highrise in peace and quiet, it was nice compared to the throbbing beat that was the Royal.

He found himself sobered up a little by the time they reached the apartment, and he'd been about to b-line it for the stereo when Kasai stopped him, drawing his attention back to his previous motive for leaving the club. He melted at the sight of that teasing smile and the wonderful kiss, and damn near chased after him when Kasai slipped out of arms reach, which was probably a good thing, if Oriko had gotten his hands on his boyfriend the song would have been forgotten and they wouldn't make it to the bedroom.

He watched the first few articles of clothing hit the ground, his eyes widened eagerly. Before he got too far ahead of himself by following like the lovesick puppy he knew he was, Oriko darted over to the stereo at last and dialled in the song that had been trapped within his mind for the past few hours. Daft Punk's Something About Us began playing loud enough for them to hear it in Kasai's room, and he began to follow the trail of clothing left for him as the intro played. picking up each piece as he went and shedding his own respective piece as he went. Reaching the doorway when the lyrics began be was met with a sight that set a fire alight in his eyes, closing the door behind himself he stepped further into the room and let out the passion that had been building up during their fun at the club.

It didn't take much effort compared to the Heats he usually ran, but the fun alone was more than enough for him to enjoy himself with Kori in the passenger seat. The others around them were baffled by the gate crasher that had randomly shown up on the scene, but they wouldn't get to find out why Sato's MR2 had been there until much later on. Thanks to his tinted windows no one knew he had someone riding along, and when they crossed the finish line, stealing first, literally, he kept going. A habit he had begun to develop since the night he'd rescued Kori from her nightmares.

Her whoop brought him out of his thoughts and back to reality, grinning over to her he chuckled as she demanded to know why he hadn't told her about his racing. Satoshi was grateful that she had loved it so much. "It never really crossed my mind, I mean, I usually don't hit the tracks until after you head to sleep." He wasn't the sort of guy to drag her out of bed to go racing, she did have school after all. "I'm glad you had fun, if you'd like to tag along again just let me know. I'll take you to a rally, those are a challenge compared to what we just blazed through."

Satoshi took his time driving them back to the highrise, suspecting that the boys might be enjoying their time alone. "Hey, you wanna crash at my pad tonight? We can put on a funny movie." It was a spontaneous idea, though it seemed much less risky than asking Kori to join him at one of his regular races.
