Dodger and I were about ready to tell the group what we had decided on being. It was a little hard finding the right words to use, but it was exciting putting a lable on us. We were a team, we had to work together if this was going to work. And I was still at that stage where I wasn't sure it would. But that's why we were testing.
I had asked Dodger to gather all our friends, and so there we were. Telling what we had become to the people that were most dear to us. Their reaction was to be expected. But how they did it, well, it had surprised us.
A cheer lit the air. And there was laughter. Nancy and the other girls were laughing so hard, it could be heard everywhere.
"Finally," Nancy kept saying over and over again. "You guys are finally together. But then, that's not really all that surprising It's true love. It's written all over your faces.
Kyoya had asked to talk to Dodger in private. I watched with interest as Dodger followed him out. I couldn't help, but follow them out into the hallway. But I made sure to keep hidden.
Kyoya started. "You hurt her, Dodger, and I'll make you wish you were never born."
"Nay! I wouldn't dream of it! Never!"
"Well, you'd better not."
And then he was gone. His form disappearing down the corridor.
Dodger was leaning against the wall now. He was staring at where I was hidden. It was almost like he could see me.
"Come out from behind that door, will you?" He asked. Well at least, now I knew why he'd been acting like he could see me. The reason: He could. I slowly came out from behind the door.
"Who'd you know I was there?"
He chuckled gently. ""Cause I know you. I knew that if I follow Kyoya, you'd follow me."
I blushed heavily and looked down at the floor. "Yeah, I suppose you do."
He pushed himself up and wrapped his arms round me. He held me there for a few minutes. No words were said. And it was perfect!
"Nancy wants to throw a party, you know." I informed him.
He chuckled wryly and responded. "Oh god."
"Really? That bad?"
"Oh, you weren't there the last time she decided to throw a party. There was fire everywhere."
This time, I laughed. "Oh, how'd she manage that?"
He shook him head. He was grinning like a moron. "It's Nancy. She has her ways."
Three hours later and there was music coming from a violin that Dodger had stolen for Nancy.
I was sitting there trying to hear over the laughter that seemed to come from every part of the room. Tithi and Oliver were dancing. Kenta was a few feet away doing the same with Sala. And even Kyoya had decided to dance. He held a girl that I couldn't name close to his body. Nancy was in the arms of a boy with white hair. He had one red streak. He looked around seventeen. I found it cute that even someone as wily as Nancy could have their heart tamed. Chao-xin and Mei-mei were dancing. Sofie was with Wales. And Julian was talking to Klaus and nodding at two blondes frequently. The blondes in question were giggling whenever they were gestured to. It was a funny scene to take in.
"Want to dance." I glanced up. Dodger wore that crazy grin that he always had on.
"Yeah. Why not."
Dodger took my hand and let me to the dance floor. His arms rested around my waist. And my hands were clasped around his neck. My head rested gently against his chest. I could hear him gently singing along with the violin to a song I had never heard before. His voice was amazing. if made me feel like he was letting me know a bit more about him. And I liked that.
