Valentine's Day Dance. The Gym. 8.30 pm

The gym was decorated, the DJs were playing, and the punch was not yet spiked.

Fandom High's Valentine's Day Dance had begun.

Anakin blushed too. "Well, I wear it well," he said, yanking at his braid.

He reached for her hand. "I suppose we should go say hello to everyone, huh?"

"Probably'd be good," Rory agreed, skeptically looking at his hand before taking it. "Amazing what you can get away with under the guise of a dance," she murmured.

Anakin gave her a quick smile. "Isn't it?"

He planned to let go of her hand once they started talking to other people, but for now he could still get away with it. So he was going to.

"It is. I mean, if nothing else, I suggest you go read what's written in some of those conversation hearts," Rory remarked casually, happy to be holding his hand.

And yes, she was planning to let go as soon as there were people close enough to notice. Which there weren't, yet.

"Were you being mean for the sake of art?" he asked. "Because I'd be okay with that."

"No, they're kind of illegible, actually. But I was putting initials and stuff in them," Rory said. "I know I did one for Angela and Marty, for Parker and Jarod, Professor Skeeter and her husband, and a few others."

She smiled. "And if the first letter of the alphabet and eighteenth magically found themselves in the same heart...nothing can be done about that, really."

Anakin paused for a moment and counted out the letters in the English alphabet before he could figure out what Rory had done. He gave her a kind of appalled smile. "You didn't."

"I support Professors Skeeter and Autolycus's secret romance," Rory said, deadpan. "And honestly, if I hadn't done it, Angela or someone else would have."

"Probably," Anakin said, nodding slowly. "And it's not like the beings here will be spending a whole lot of time looking at the decoration, right?"

"And like I said, could mean anything. I mean, could be...um...." Rory bit her lip. "Rose and Anders. Yes. Clearly that's what I meant, anyway. And what I'll be telling anyone who asks."

Anakin snickered. "Right. Of course. How silly of me not to have thought of that myself."

He gave her hand a squeeze before finally dropping it.

"Exactly," Rory nodded. "I mean, sure there's Cally, and I think Rose is kinda sort of dating Jarod - " She stopped. "By the way, are you busy Sunday?"

"We're finally having a meeting for Into the Black around 1pm, but other than that I don't have anything going on," Anakin replied. "Why?"

Rory shrugged. "Parker sort of invited us to a thing. A movie thing, actually, at the...um, place where Becky works. With Parker and Jarod, and maybe some other people. I'm pretty sure it'd be okay if we turned up after your meeting. Um, if you want to go, that is."

Anakin blinked. "Parker invited us to watch movies at a brothel?" He snickered. "Yeah, count me in, if it's okay that I'd be running a little late."

"I think it's like, an all-dayish thing, so it shouldn't be a problem," Rory said, flushing. "And yes, brothel. Let's not talk about that part. Or that one of the hookers looks like me and throws sharp things. Though Parker said she'll be on good behavior, apparently."

"Parker can make Becky behave herself?" Anakin smiled. "I'll believe that when I see it."

"I'm pretty sure Parker can make just about anyone listen to her," Rory replied. "Plus, Jarod's nice and I guess he lives there, so maybe he can help with the non-stabination."

Anakin thought about it. "Yeah, you have a point. Parker does have a habit of getting what she wants." He smiled at Rory. "And I'll try not to do anything that could lead to stabination."

Rory returned the smile. "And I'll try to be invisible, so she can't snark on me and you won't be forced to leap to my defense." She gave him a stern look. "And even if she is mean to me, let it go. Completely not worth it."

Anakin looked innocent. "I'll try."

"Best I can ask for," Rory sighed. She glanced over towards a group of people. "Um, I'm going to go talk to Angela, see what she's up to. She promised to let me borrow Marty." She shot him a look. "Unless you, um, mind?"

"That's fine," Anakin said, smiling. "I'm going to go talk with Parker. Catch up later?"

"Definitely," Rory nodded, waving as she walked off.

Anakin totally wasn't ogling her as she walked away.

Not even a little.

...

Well, maybe a little.
