Gabe looked at himself in the mirror one last time. He was starting to regret telling Fei that he'd go to that party, he didn't even know how to dress for it. He didn't have nice clothes to begin with, aside from a black button down that he rarely wore. He went ahead and threw that on along with some jeans he didn't really care for. He looked himself over one more time, his hair was the same as usual, which he felt was perfectly fine. The glasses stayed though, he told himself. Even though he had contacts he absolutely hated wearing them. So then he was set.
He slowly peeked his head out of his dorm room and looking out in the hallway, no show of Fei just yet. He didn't know where this party was gonna be at, so she was suppose to meet him and they'd go together. He sighed, stepping out of the room and leaning against the wall as he waited for Rainbow to show up.

Fei was relatively certain that she had kept Gabe waiting, but that was relatively inavoidable. It took time to make oneself party-ready, despite how naturally such things came to the Tora girl. She looked like she had rolled straight out of the cover of some music magazine, all edgy and disheveled but someone completely put together.
The rainbow-haired teen saw Gabe waiting a little ways down the hall. She smiled to herself as she made her way over to him. She could tell he was nervous.
"We'll don't you look dashing," she chuckled, looking him over. "I like the shirt. Nice choice."

Gabe looked over and saw Fei coming his way and stood up straighter. He shrugged a little at the compliment. "It's all I got, figured it'd be alright." he replied honestly. He rubbed the back of his neck and looked at how she was dressed. "You look good." She looked GREAT really, but he wasn't exactly sure how to put it into words without making himself look like an idiot.

"Aw, shucks," Fei chuckled. "You don't need to flatter little ol' me." She did enjoy the compliment, but not as much as she enjoyed how unsure of himself Gabe was starting to look. Good God, he was adorable.
"You all ready to go?" she asked after a brief pause. "The party's a decent walk away. I have cab money if you want. But I comfortable shoes, so whatever you prefer works."

Gabe shrugged a shoulder before thinking a bit. It'd be kind of pointless for him to say it didn't matter, they wouldn't get anywhere with that. So he'd just have to pick one… "The sooner the better I guess, I can pay for the cab if you want." He should have just enough money for that.

"Paying for cab fare will hardly drain my wallet. I can cover it." She readjusted her purse with an encouraging grin. "Alright, let's get going. I'm ready to par-TAY!" The Tora pumped one fist in the air with a great deal of enthusiasm. Tonight was going to be fun, she could tell.

Gabe blinked and sighed. "If you say so." he muttered before grinning. He figured he'd need to be a little better at socializing if he was going to have a good time tonight, but that was kinda tough. He'd try and push through it though, it wouldn't hurt to try. "Take the lead, I got no clue where to go."

"Right then. Onward!" Fei lead a slow but determined charge down the hallway. A good deal of the students had already vacant the dorms for the weekend, so they were met with a good deal of silence. For a moment she wondered what Sora was up to, but the thought was somewhat passing. She was sure he was fine; plus she wanted to enjoy her time with Gabe without worrying about her little brother.
A few moments later found the pair outside of the dorms and on the chilly city streets. Dusk was falling, carrying darkness along with it. Fei waved at the nearest taxi, managing to get its attention without much effort.
"That was easy," the Tora laughed, walking over to their waiting ride. "Thankfully, having rainbow hair is quite helpful when it comes to hailing cabs."

Gabe followed Fei out of the dorms and to the road as she caught a cab for them. He chuckled a bit at the comment. "I'll say, you could see that splash of color a mile away." He reached the cab before Fei, opening the door and holding it open for her. "You know the drill, ladies first and all." he said as he gave her a grin.

"What a gentleman." Fei climbed into the cab and moved over to make room for her companion. She gave the driver the address before leaning back in the seat. The party was in the slightly more glitzy side of town. An upperclassman Fei knew was hosting it. His parents let him throw them almost constantly, so long as he cleaned up and no one drove home drunk. Quite a few of her classmates made frequent appearances at these events.
"So are you nervous for your first big fancy party?" The Tora asked in a teasing tone.

Gabe climbed in after her, sitting beside her with a quiet sigh. At the Tora's question he rose a brow and shrugged. "Eh, just a little unsure's all. I never really considered myself party material's all." He wasn't exactly sure how he'd do. He gave a dry laugh. "You might just get fed up with me and ditch me at some point." He certainly wouldn't hold it against her if she did, he knew how he could be.

Fei blinked in genuine surprise. Ditching Gabe hadn't even occurred to her. She may have been crazy, but she wasn't a bitch. "Don't put yourself down so much. I wouldn't have dragged you along if I didn't like you." A reassuring smile crept across the Tora's face. "I want to have fun with you, so up and leaving you just isn't happening."

Gabe looked down at Fei. That… honestly made him feel better about the whole thing. He smiled a little more genuine, but just slightly. "Alright, just remember that though when I'm not talking to much of anyone else and keeping to myself."

Fei remained unphased. "I'll get you to come out of your shell, don't you worry." While probably not immediate, she was confident her her ability to get her companion to open up. She couldn't imagine anyone not wanting to have fun, which is exactly what parties were to her. It would just take time for Gabe to adjust to that frame of thought.

Gabe's smile turned more into a grin and nodded a little with a chuckle. "Alright, I trust ya." he said. "Just don't let me down, I'd be disappointed if you don't get me to do much." He tasked and nudged her arm a little.
