"If I keep running into you I'm going to think that you're following me," Y/n shouted over the music as she sat down next to Chris at the bar. He looked over at her confused for a second before he saw who she was and his face went lax.
"This is Piper's club, should I be worried that you're following me?" He asked, turning slightly towards her, a bottle of beer in his hand.
"Do you want me to be following you?" She asked with a quirk of her eyebrows. Chris chuckled, shaking his head.
"Can I buy you a drink?" He asked.
"I wouldn't be opposed to a beer," She said, smiling. Chris nodded, ordering one from the man behind the bar. The bottle was cold and the perspiration dripped down Y/n's hand once she was holding it.
"What are you doing sitting all alone?" Y/n asked, leaning into him so he could hear her over the band playing. Chris allowed the closeness, speaking close to her ear.
"I was waiting to talk to Piper about a demon problem," he answered. Y/n rolled her eyes, taking a swig of her beer before leaning back in.
"Do you ever take a break from demon problems?" She asked.
"It's my job to be-"
"So that's a no," Y/n cut him off with a laugh. She took a few chugs of her beer before setting it on the bar and jumping up from her seat.
"Come dance with me," she said, taking his hands and pulling.
"No, I have a demon problem to deal with," He said, trying to pull his hands away. Y/n gripped harder, tilting her head stubbornly.
"The world isn't going to fall apart if you take one night off Chris," She said, pulling him towards her. "Come dance with me for a little while. Then you can go chase demons until your blue in the face," she said, tugging him further onto the dance floor. Chris looked hesitantly behind him, then studying Y/n's warmly smiling face before relenting. He allowed her to guide his movements for a few moments, their hands linked as she swayed her hips and bobbed her head. He let go of the demons and the magic for a few hours, dancing with her until the band finished their set and it was only the club music playing. He danced with her until he couldn't remember why he came in the first place, only that his hands were on her hips and she smelled like lavender and whiskey. He didn't kiss her. No, that would have been too dangerous for himself, so he left her with a kiss to the cheek and teasing smile that she was normally wearing. He left her with butterflies swarming her stomach and blazing cheeks that made her smile like an idiot.
