Gabe looked up at the ceiling in thought over the questions. "Not really sure exactly, I'd like to something in music though, I play drums." His father had encouraged him to do it, but he was pretty sure the idea itself came from Satoru. Still, he WAS pretty good at it, and it was fun. "No job yet, my dad's wanting me to wait until I graduate so I can focus on classes more." He looked back down at Sora, waiting for the next round of questions that were bound to follow.

Sora nodded thoughtfully, those were good answers. He wasn't completely boring if he was into music, and his dad was pretty supportive if he wasn't bugging his kid to get a job. Might be a good segway though... "What's your dad like?"

Gabe sighed, trying to figure out a simple way to describe his father. When nothing simple enough came to mind, he gave in and tried anyway. "Kind of an asshole, but he means well. He can either be pretty strict or really chill, nowhere in between, owns the town's tattoo shop." He always tried throwing that in when people asked about his dad, that usually seemed to earn him double points. He shrugged. "He's one of those guys that if he gives you shit then he likes you, if that makes any sense at all."

Sora took a moment to process the description before nodding. That would be good to know, just for future reference if nothing else. 'Jerk With A Heart Of Gold' sounded kinda applicable if he was reading into it right. "And..." he had heard a teensy bit about when Fei had stayed over... "You're gonna hate this one but, what about your stepdad?" If the blond boy wanted a good idea of what Gabe was like... well, he wanted to know who raised him... and how highly they were held in regard.

Gabe had to paused for a brief moment, dammit Fei, really? "Satoru's…" Oh god, how was he suppose to say this without sounding like a brat? "Never really been my favorite person in the world. I mean the guy's been around pretty much all my life, but I dunno, we never really clicked. Let's just say he's never been equipped for raising kids." It was weird explaining their relationship to people. He just never really cared for him, was else was there to say?

Sora nodded, "So you're not home a lot?" He asked. It would make sense, after all, for him to avoid home if he wasn't fond of his stepdad. Honestly the idea of not getting along with parents to that degree was just... foreign to Sora. Maybe if he hadn't spent seven years yearning for a home and family it would be different, but he was too grateful to his dads to ever do anything but love them. Though, it did help that they didn't butt heads that often.

"Not really, no." He'd like to go over more, he had his own room and everything, but things just didn't feel welcoming to him anymore. Then again, a lot of it was probably his fault and he could understand that, but what was he suppose to do? Pretend to like the guy? Gabe never really was good at acting.
He blinked and looked down at Sora. "You mind changing the topic?" He asked carefully, making sure his voice sounded as far from rude as possible. He just didn't want to get into that with someone he hardly knew, even if he did have a thing for the Tora's sister.

"Oh!" Sora's grin dropped. "Sorry, didn't mean to- I just..." He shrugged. "It just sounds a lot different from what home's like for Fei and I. Didn't mean to pry." Okay no, he had meant to pry. He was nosy. But it was all for a good cause! He wanted to make sure that Fei liked a good guy! If Gabe was gonna win this then he'd better win and then be awesome to Fei, and it was Sora's job to check and make sure. He couldn't trust Fei to do that! She was emotionally compromised because she liked him! Ergo, the task fell to Sora.
He expected nothing but the same should he ever start to date. Whenever that happened. He just hoped his future girlfriend could manage a high dosage of Fei-Yen.

Gabe smiled to ease Sora's worries. "It's cool, you didn't know." He shrugged. "Every family's different, mine just happens to be on the dysfunctional side." You could say that about a lot of families really, but his wasn't all that common.

The blond perked up at that and the grin returned to its usual megawatt levels of enthusiasm. "Yeah, suppose so. So how'd you meet Fei? Party or school or here in the dorms?" He couldn't forget his mission, blunder or no.

"Arcade." he replied easily. "A friend of mine dragged me to Fire Mountain a while back and went to the arcade, Fei was busy saving the world from the zombie apocalypse and we decided to join in." Rather Adriana had at first, Gabe eventually gave in and played along when she decided she'd rather eat the cookies he had gotten for them. "I'm really not the party type, though you could probably already see that huh?"

Sora laughed outright. "Yeah, no, you kinda scream 'quiet' instead of 'party hardy.'" The kid snorted a bit at trying to figure out how Fei had managed to drag Gabe to a party. What must that have looked like? Had just awkwardly stood in the middle of the room holding a red cup like the ones in movies, the sea of teenagers moving around him and somehow unaware of the six-foot-two disturbance to their neon haven?
Better than getting trampled, but it made him snicker.

Gabe laughed along with Sora. "Yeah, sounds about right." he agreed with a nod. "But I tried it out for her. I think in time I'd get more comfortable, for now though it's… it's alright I guess." It wasn't that he hadn't had a good time, he was just sure given time that he would learn to enjoy it more.

"Man," Sora said, turning a corner, they had run out of hallway in this particular direction. "What are you even LIKE drunk?" That would be a burning question in his mind for a long time... he'd have to pester Fei to find out for him. Because now Sora was curious, and he always found out about things he was curious over.

"Huh," Gabe said in thought. "I don't know, I've never had enough to actually get drunk." After a beer or two he was done, he'd never really had the urge to drink more after that. He rubbed his neck awkwardly and sighed. "Go ahead and tell me I'm lame, I've heard worse." He chuckled a little. Seriously, he wondered what Fei saw in him to keep her interest for this long.
