Closed First Date, First Dance

[Friday Weeks]

Friday had been very happy that Santiago had asked her to the dance. She was very eager to both get to know him a little more and a little more like this. It was also nice to actually have a date to the dance. She had put on a nice dress, wanting to impress him, but not wanting to over do it. If she over did it, she was sure it would make her look a little too desperate. She didn't want that at all. Friday was running a little early, but she had mostly just not wanted to be later. But she got to the hall and smoothed down the skirt of her dress and just looked out at other people, so eager to show off that she had managed to get a date.

Santiago had wanted to make tonight special. After dancing around each other for so long he had finally gotten the guts to ask Friday to a school dance for real. He wasn't sure how things between them might change without several layers of sarcasm but he liked her. He was still terrified of sincerity and tonight might turn into a disaster but he was willing to try. And as special as he wanted to make things he had still left her waiting for him as he rushed towards the great hall to meet his date. He smiled when he saw her and struggled to regain his composure as he joined her. "Hope you weren't waiting long miss." he said grinning. "It's rude to keep a lady waiting. We should really scold that awful date of yours."

Friday hadn't been waiting long when Santiago turned up, but she couldn't help the grin as he also immediately went down the same joking path that she had intended to do. "Yeah, I'll ditch him for you," she told him with a smile. "You clean up nicer he probably would've," she added with a teasing tone, basically he looked nice without actually saying it.

Santiago's grin only grew as Friday played along with him. "What a relief." he said, lowering his voice for only her to hear. "I hate to show up to these things alone." he teased before reaching for her hand. His eyes were darting around, it was hard to look at her without getting nervous but her compliment emboldened him some. "I had to at least try to look as nice as you. An impossible task I know." he said with a laugh, finally speaking some truth.

Friday hadn't really been nervous about this, but it was reassuring that they managed to just get straight back into the usual banter and their usual mode of being. She let him taking her hand, and then went to thread her fingers between his. "I'm glad you realise that," she told him with a smile. "You clean up nice, to my standards," she added.

Santiago looked down as Friday laced her fingers through his and he couldn't help but smile. He didn't know what he was doing but he was excited to figure it out. "Thanks, I'm glad to meet your standards." he laughed before trying to lead them towards the dance floor as the music slowed. "So shall we dance at this dance?" he asked with a hint of playfulness in his voice.
