Gabe followed as he was tugged over to the dance floor. He looked around to get a better idea of how to dance here and nodded, more to reassure himself that he wouldn't look like an idiot. Sure enough, he found himself moving along with the music in a way that didn't completely embarrass him. "This isn't so hard." He called out to Fei. He had to admit, it was pretty fun!

It seemed as though Gabe's mood had improved. He wasn't as reluctant to get into the party spirit as Fei had originally thought.
"I'm glad you think so," she called back, moving a little closer to him as she did so. She wasn't exactly sure what Gabe's comfort levels were, but the only proper way to find out was to test them, now wasn't it?

It wasn't like Gabe was use to the dancing thing, or even Fei being so close, but it wasn't bad and like hell he was going to back away and risk someone cutting in. So he welcomed it, giving her a smile as he decided it was a good time to try the whole flirting thing again. "Kinda hard not to enjoy it with a pretty girl with me." he replied. He hoped he was doing well enough with this, it was sorta new to him after all.

"You're too kind." Gabe was warming up to this flirting stuff, or so it seemed. Maybe the Tora could coax him out of him shell even further, with a little bit of work. She liked him enough to put in the effort.
Fei let her body flow with the rhythm of the music, undaunted by the crowd surrounding them. She had never been a particularly talented dancer, but one would never know it by looking at her. The immense level of self-confidence she possessed easily made up for any lack of technical skill. And dancing wasn't really so hard to begin with. All one had to do was lose themselves in the music and they were set.

"Just honest is all." He added a wink for good measure. It looked like he was doing pretty good, and he couldn't help but feel proud of himself. Tonight just might turn out better than he though, he told himself as he continued to move on the dance floor. While he was almost certain he didn't look as good as Fei did, he figured he was ding pretty well.

"You're getting to be quite to flirt, aren't you?" Fei laughed. "I like it." She was being more than a bit obvious, but it was her way. Subtlety was not one of the Tora's strong suits.

Gabe had to laugh a little at that. "Honestly I've just been watching you." He admitted. "And good, I'd be pissed if I did all this for nothing." Because really, none of this was his style, NONE of it. He preferred keeping to himself because it was just easier that way, but for some reason he was here at a party and dancing with a very attractive girl that he originally thought he didn't have a chance with. Funny how this stuff just happens sometimes.

Fei figured she might as well ask the obvious question, although she was relatively sure she already knew the answer. "So what exactly are you hoping to get out of this?"

Grabe shrugged at the question, he really should have seen it coming. "Something I kinda figured as unrealistic." He replied truthfully. Normally he was blunt with questions like these, but it got him thinking, what was he wanting from this? He liked Fei, that was a given, but dating? She didn't seem the type for an actual relationship. Hooking up? No, no definitely not, not if that meant she was free to do whatever with other guys too. He did NOT like sharing.

Unrealistic, huh? Maybe it would be a little harder to convince Gabe to fool around with her than she originally thought. Not impossible, of course, but not easy either.
"Maybe some of it is more possible than you think." Fei looked up at her companion with a small, coy smile. Before she had time to continue, one of the boys from earlier appeared at her side. The Tora felt a slight twinge of annoyance, but her smile never faltered.
"I thought I told you guys I was busy." She added a laugh for good measure. The boy shrugged.
"I figured I would see if you could be convinced otherwise."
"Oh?" Fei's mouth shifted into a playful pout. "Miss me that much already?"
"Getting the chance to be alone with you, specifically."
Fei didn't hide her annoyance as well this time. "Unfortunately for you, the fact that I'm busy still stands. I think you know what that means. So," she winked and waved her fingers at him. "see you later."

Gabe looked back and forth between the exchange, trying his absolute hardest not to say anything to this asshole that wouldn't leave Fei alone. Even if Rainbow was trying to get him to go off, Gabe wasn't gonna just stay quietly in the background.
The blonde put his arm around Fei once again, but this time he started to pull her away to a different spot on the dance floor. He threw a glare over at the guy that while quick, sent off the 'mine' message before turning his direction back to the girl. "If you really want him to leave you alone you might want to consider acting like it." He told her. Honestly, if she played ALL guys like that, he should probably rethink this whole thing.

The surprise on Fei's face was hard to mask. She looked up at her companion, alternating between a furrowed brow and blank confusion. This wasn't the first time someone had told her something similar, but it felt different coming from Gabe. It was a little more... disheartening somehow.
The carefree smile was back less than a minute later, but it looked a little more plastic than before. She accompanied it with a shrug. "I'm just trying not to sound like a bitch."

Gabe took a breath to get himself together. He wasn't one to flip out in a rage or anything, but he was pretty frustrated at the moment. "Well sometimes being a bitch gets the message across better, you know?" Seriously, giving off signals like that was bound to get her in trouble one day, didn't she know that?

Fei looked slightly crestfallen at the response. "I guess you wouldn't be the first person to tell me that." She let out a low breath and ran her fingers through her hair. "It just comes too naturally at this point..." She forced forward the smile once more. "Sorry, I'm being selfish. I'm here with you. I'll stop acting like a skank."

Gabe blinked. Really, that was all it took? It made him feel better yeah, but it still didn't change the fact that he didn't want it to be a reoccurring thing. He didn't want to be an asshole about it though, they were there to have fun. "Let's just forget about it, for now." He wouldn't let it slide, but there was no reason to keep talking about it right now of all times. He gave her a smile, a more genuine one instead of anything flirty. "Do you wanna keep dancing?"
