Closed Courage

[Casper Kinnek]

Casper couldn't believe Lucas had agreed to come to the dance with him. Cas was so nervous, Lucas was so cute and sweet and Casper- well, he just felt like a mess. He tried to dress a little more casually this time, a little more comfortably, the thought of dancing with Lucas already making his heart pound wildly in his chest and his cheeks burn crimson. He shuffled nervously, waiting for Lucas to arrive.

 

[Lucas Fletcher]

Lucas had enjoyed going to the dance with Clara last time, when they had been paired up through the blind date thing. Now Casper had asked him, and Lucas had said yes. Casper was one of his best friends, and he was happy to go with him to the dance. He wondered if Kas was attending, and if so, with who. But he pushed that thought aside. He spotted Casper waiting for him and waved. "Hey." He said with a smile as he approached.

Caspers heart leaped into his throat at the site of Lucas. "Hi," he squeaked out, looking down quickly. "You l-look really handsome," he offered shyly, scuffing his toe against the stone and feeling incredibly silly for how he had dressed. Casper needed a suit, really. He had just been too scared to ask his father to send one.

 

[Lucas Fletcher]

Lucas smiled at Casper's words, he seemed to be pretty nervous. Casper was usually shy, and lucas figured a dance with a hall full of people just made that worse. "Thanks, you look nice too." He said. "Let's go in, should we start with some snacks?"

 

[Casper Kinnek]

Lucas couldn't help but smile, ducking his head a little to hide it. "Yeah, yeah, snacks are good," He agreed, taking a breath and looking up, smiling shyly. He stuffed his hands in his pockets he started to move into the hall, blinking. "Are the decorations always this... cheesy?" He asked, looking at Lucas.

 

[Lucas Fletcher]

Lucas grinned as Casper agreed to starting off with snacks. He headed into the great hall, walking towards the snack table with Casper. He laughed at his comment, shrugging. "Yeah, pretty much. At least, they were like this last year." He said. "Have you never gone to this event before?" He asked him curiously.
