The blond tora kicked his feet in the common room of the boys dorms as he waited. He had talked with Fei (and he had SEEN the signs of infatuation, he knew what to look for) and now he knew, just KNEW he had to find this Gabe guy. Couldn't be too hard, considering he was supposed to be a blond giant and seriously, Sora could figure out who was who.
Besides, doin' a stakeout like this made him feel like a detective. And that was pretty cool.

It had been a few days since that dreadful morning at home with Fei, and the fact that Gabe was doing his absolute hardest to stay away from the place for now was typical. The dorms were good anyway, more freedom and space to do whatever, and more of a chance to hang out with Fei Yen some more, maybe he'd pay her a visit.
Gabe wasn't expecting much to happen that day, but considering the hell of a time he'd been having lately it wouldn't surprise him if something decided to pop up.

Aha! There! Sora got up and started discretely making his way over before whipping a hand out to grab the taller teen's arm. "This way," He chirped, grinning, as he tried to tug the Kuma back out the door. There were enough people in the common room right now that Sora didn't want overhearing. If they walked, then there was less of a chance of people catching all the conversation.
Seemed like a solid enough plan to him.

Gabe blinked as some blond kid grabbed his arm. "Uh, kid?" He asked as he was being tugged along in the opposite direction he was trying to go. "I think you got me confused for someone else, I don't know you." At least he didn't think he did, and he was normally good with faces.

"No," Sora insisted, grinning. "I got the right person. You're Gabe, and I need you to come this way." He'd introduce himself in a second, but he wanted Gabriel to follow first. Sora always talked better on his feet, especially when moving.

Okay, there's nothing weird about this. Still, what was the worst that could happen? "Alright, just don't take too long, I was kinda going to find a friend." That was the most accurate thing he could think to call Fei anyway, for now at least. Their little challenge was still on, it was only a matter of time before one of them cracked to the other's idea.
He followed in the direction the shorter blond was pulling him towards, slightly curious about what this was all about.

"Fei's not in right now, if you're lookin' for her," Sora said confidently, although he had no idea if it was actually true or not. But the more time he had to talk with Gabe the better. He wanted to figure this guy out, just in case he DID manage to start dating her...
The duo moved into the hall and Sora let go of Gabe's arm, pretty confident the Kuma (a foot taller than him, wow... Fei could sure pick 'em) would follow. "M'name's Sora, I'm Fei's brother, so you and me?" He flicked his index finger back and forth between them. "We gotta have a talk, cuz she REALLY likes you."

Oooh, alright, yeah this made sense now. He couldn't remember if Fei mentioned having a brother or not, and while they didn't look alike(he figured the whole adoption thing) their personalities seemed very similar just from what very little he'd seen here.
Gabe really couldn't help but grin a little at that last part, so she was showing signs around her family too? Well he felt pretty damn good about that, maybe he'd win after all. He gave the little Tora a nod. "Alright Sora, let's talk then." Hey, he was all for it if it got him on good terms with her family.

"Well then FIRST of all, you're prolly gonna crack first." Sora started. Was he supposed to know about the 'deal' that Fei and Gabe had struck? No. No he wasn't. That didn't change the fact that he was a snoopy little brother, and as such he picked up on things like crazy. "Just a generalization here cuz I don't really know you or anything, but..." He shrugged. "Most dudes don't turn down the offer, and she's really good at getting what she wants."

Gabe shrugged. "Well I wouldn't say I turned it down completely, just that I wanted something with a little bit more commitment." If it just happened to get him laid later on, then that was just a big plus… so long as his dad didn't learn of it. He looked down at Sora. "It's complicated to explain, but I kinda figured you'd appreciate me respecting you sister?"

"Oh yeah, definitely!" Sora chirped, all smiles. "It'd be great to see her in a relationship for once, bringing home someone to meet Dad and Papa, all that jazz..." The tiny blond's grin vanished. "I just wanted to let you know now, though, that if you wind up cracking first then I don't care how much bigger than me you are: I'll kick the crap outta you." The blond was nearly glaring up at Gabe, at least as much as his baby-face could manage. Puberty was slow in coming to the Tora, something he regretted all the time.
The frown softened after a second. "Cuz like I said, she does like you a lot, and I think she DOES wanna date ya but... I dunno..." The tiny teen kicked the floor as they walked. "She's weird."

Gabe kept his face as straight as he could manage while Sora attempted to glare at him. The kid was looking out for his sister, he respected that, might as well take him seriously. When he finished though, he let his smile out and laughed a little. "Yeah, she's a little weird. But I do like her a lot, and I'm pretty patient with this stuff, so you've got nothing to worry about there." While his tone was light, it was easy enough to tell her meant what he was saying, hopefully that could do something to assure him?

Gabe could probably FEEL the scrutiny in Sora's gaze before the little boy nodded. "Okay... Now mostly, I need to get to know you, make sure you're suitable for her and all that." And, also, because the little guy was honestly curious about the kuma that had managed to hold his sister's interest for this long...

Gabe nodded. "Sounds fair, what'cha wanna know?" He was pretty much an open book. Safe for the events leading to his birth there was really nothing he would consider tragic, and unless you counted the instances where he butted heads with the midget that was married to his dad(he really didn't even feel comfortable with the term 'step dad') there was nothing much that could be considered interesting or different about him. The guy was pretty normal, and he liked it that way.

Sora shrugged. "Well, whaddya do? Whatcha wanna be when you're done growing up? Got a job?" Those three should be enough for the first round. Sora had plenty more after that, but those were easy enough ones to answer. Ease the big guy into the interrogation. Then Sora could probably start picking his brain... He might have been tiny and cheerful, but the kid was still plenty smart.
