Cristian had three secrets that no one knew about. One of them was the fact he knew that Raven liked him and wasn't sure how to explain he didn't feel that way at her. Another was the fact he knew Andy liked Camilla and he was okay with it. The last one that was only his was AJ. She had decided to change into a plaid shirt and ripped jeans and Cristian just changed shirts. Liam saw them and Raven walking in and hurried over with drinks.

"Welcome to your first Moon party. Here are some drinks," They took the drinks and sniffed it in case. "Look, just because I broke up with Jess an hour ago doesn't mean I'm going to drug you guys." They watched as Liam flopped on the sofa, clearly wasted and Raven handed her drink to AJ.

"I'll watch him," Raven muttered and Cristian wiggled his eyebrows suggestively. "Don't want him to choke on his vomit and die." AJ pulled Cristian after her and he waved goodbye to Raven without spilling his drink. He found himself in a tight corner with AJ who held her cup up in challenge.

"I bet I can finish mine before yours," Cristian gave her his usual smirk and she held the cup to her lips. "And...Drink!" Cristian chugged his drink and finished it to see AJ finishing the one Raven gave her.

"Be careful, get too drunk and someone may take advantage," AJ shook her head confidently. "You won't get too drunk or no one would take advantage?" She smiled, her green eyes shining happily which was rare these days.

"No one will take advantage," She rested her hand on his shoulder. "I've got you. You'll always protect me, right?" He nodded, smiling and she hugged him, making his heart race. "Why's your heart beating so fast?" He hugged her back as he answered, noticing some guy juggling lit candles near the vodka.

"Because there's someone playing with actual fire beside the vodka," She turned around, pressing unconsciously against him and he ignored how hot his face felt. "AJ, mind moving a little forward? You're really close to me." AJ blushed and moved a little forward.

"Sorry," Leah stopped the guy from juggling and moved the vodka away. "That was kinda disappointing. Oh, looks like there's going to be a game." Leah whistled for everyone's attention while waking up her brother who looked comfortable with his head on Raven's shoulder.

"Okay, people, we're going to play Truth or Dare," Most people groaned and Leah smiles at Cristian and AJ. "New kids first?" AJ nodded. "Truth or dare, O'Reilly?" AJ thought hard before answering with a damning 'Truth' "When and who was your first kiss?" Cristian tensed until AJ answered smoothly.

"I was 16, just after my parents' funeral," She glanced at Cristian quickly before continuing. "And it was the son of a family friend," She looked at Raven with a smile. "Truth or dare, Woods?" Raven smiled awkwardly before almost whispering 'Dare' "Kiss the most attractive person in the room, cheek or lips, your choice." Cristian nudged AJ, knowing what she was doing and Raven blushed.

"Should've gone truth," She awkwardly kissed Liam on the cheek and covered her face. "Leah, truth or dare?" It continued like that until a guy called Jack asked Cristian.

"Truth or dare, Martinez?" Cristian answered with a bored 'Dare'  and Jack grinned wickedly. "Kiss O'Reilly." Cristian blushed but leaned into a now very drunk AJ who giggled before he brushed his lips against hers briefly, sparking a memory of a black dress and tears. He pulled back quickly as AJ fell, obviously unconscious.

"And that's my cue to put her in bed," He scooped her up and carried her to her room. She opened her eyes as he tucked her into bed. "Hey, you passed out. I was just putting you to bed. Here is a bin to vomit in, I'll get you some water." AJ grabbed his hand before he could leave.

"Remember my parents' funeral?" She whispered, looking sober and he nodded. "I don't regret it, don't think I ever said that." He shook his head and she kissed him, pulling him down. Ignoring his brain, Cristian let her and kissed her back hard, hands in her short hair. Then, he listened to his brain and got up quickly.

"We shouldn't do that. You're very drunk and Andy's sister... Camilla's best friend," She nodded and he went to get her water but stopped. "Wait... Why I can't I taste beer?" AJ winced.

"I listened to you and got coke," So... She was sober and kissed him. "But from the first three beers, I'm a little drunk." Cristian found himself kissing her again and her caught by surprise. This brought the memory crashing over him, every detail vivid, from the bullies making her cry at her parents' funeral to him running after her without hesitation to a hug that became a kiss that became to much more. He pulled away, remembering something important.

"You mightn't be very drunk," His voice sounded husky to him as he forced himself to ignore everything inside him. "But I'm drunk and...I'm your brother's best friend and your best friend's brother. This is a horrible idea." AJ got out of bed and hugged Cristian, making him feel like he couldn't move.

"Cristian...This isn't the first time and it didn't matter the first time," She held his face in her hands and he really wished he could ignore his heart. "It means nothing until we let it. If we want to be together...Then we ask our friends and family if it's okay but I want this. I want this more than almost anything." She kissed him briefly and kept their faces inches apart. His nose brushed hers as he ignored his brain again and kissed her. Andy, Liberty and Camilla would be okay with it, Cristian knew Liberty shipped it...That is if AJ wanted it too. He hoped with all of his heart that she would...That it would be the thing she wanted most. They fell onto the bed together.
