Summer Dance/Gala Event | Evening | Saturday | June 19

As the sun started to set, the lights officially came on at the new community center! The building was now complete, its walls gleaming and solid in the waning light. As people began to arrive, they would notice decorations lining the tiled and bright corridors, leading them towards the large auditorium where the dance was being held.

Once inside the auditorium, there were more decorations. Streamers in the colors of summer hung from the rafters and painted the walls. There were fresh flowers in every corner and on every table, bringing fragrance and festiveness to the room. The lights were low in the auditorium, dimmed to provide both mood and setting to this party in the evening.

There were several long tables stocked full with foods of all kinds and there was even a bar with an expert bartender who'd be happy to serve you. Tips were welcome but not mandatory. Large speakers hung in the corners of the room, installed to provide the latest and greatest sound system to the new building.

Everything was completed, everything was ready so it was time to enjoy yourselves!

"Well, it's good practice, right?" she offered, subdued but smiling a little bit. "For when shit really starts to get serious."

"I suppose," he said and reached to scratch his cheek. "Have we ruined this date?"

"No, Fandom has," Kate decided without missing a beat. "And it's not ruined."

Bod almost pointed out the contradictory nature of that statement but refrained.

"It's not?" he asked, hopeful.

"No," she said. "I mean, would we seriously let something minor like that ruin it? I don't think so."

"No, you're right," he said, nodding and laughing at himself. "I'm sorry I'm being ridiculous. No, we shouldn't let something minor and something that's over ruin tonight."

"Exactly," Kate nodded, smiling more now. "There's a whole party going on, and no classical music or chirpy fifties chicks in sight. We should enjoy ourselves."

"I could kiss you to get things back on track," he offered, looking shy about it.

"That's improper," she said, smirking, "so I would love that."

"I'll be sure to refer to it often," he said, slipping that tiny bit closer so he could lean in and kiss her, keeping it light and lazy at first. They were in public but he could still make it warm and meaningful.

Light, lazy, warm and meaningful were all good qualities for a kiss after all of that the day before, and just now. She was happy to be kissing him. Of course she was.

And it was her own happiness, not whatever Alice-on-speed happiness she'd been displaying the night before.

It made Bod feel better too. Feel better about how he'd seemingly made a mistake yesterday and how he hadn't understood why that had been bad today. It made him relax and let those worries diminish and fade away.

And now he felt like their date was going perfectly well. Not ruined at all.

Kate had been propping herself up against a wall while she took her shoes off, because it wasn't as if she was going to wobble on one foot with no support whatsoever; she wouldn't have wanted to fall down in that dress of hers.

Anyway, they hadn't wandered far from said wall, which meant that Kate was now going to attempt to back towards it, pulling him with her without interrupting the kissing. So she could lean her back against it. Take some of her weight off her poor feet. Or something like that.

No, all worries of the date being ruined had been premature and unnecessary. Entirely.

Bod would have tried supporting her some if he'd been thinking but the wall proved a much better way to ease the pain of her poor feet. It wouldn't get tired like his arms would do after awhile.

And it also meant he could actually press against her, letting his warmth seep into her in all those places where she was just showing skin. He was completely taking advantage of that fact.

And that was exactly why she'd pulled him over here, so she was pretty pleased with it. And deepening the kiss a bit. They were in public, yes, but they were also in a shadowy corner.

Bod responded to that eagerly, having wanted to do it himself. She'd just beaten him to the task and he was all the more thankful. Never was he more thankful for a dark corner and a girl that he really liked.

Kate was pretty thankful for all of this, too. There wasn't a lot of skin for her to touch, but she could still caress his neck and run her fingers through his hair. That satisfied the need to touch well enough.

Along with the kissing – not exactly lazy, anymore – and being pressed between him and the wall, of course.

Unfortunately for her, his suit didn't really provide much area for skin to be exposed but he liked when she touched his neck and got her hands in his hair.

Bod let his hands find her waist and even venture a little further down towards those legs of hers. All the while, he made sure not to stop kissing her. He really didn't want to.

She didn't want to, either. Even he'd been in danger of straying away from the kiss, she had her hands behind his head and could've nudged him back in the right direction.

But as it was, she'd just... keep reminding him why kissing her was overwhelmingly a good thing.

An extremely good thing. There was no need to remind him because he could feel it and taste it right there against him. He didn't need any convincing to know that this was something he could easily spend the rest of the night doing.

Public or not, he was definitely not ready to stop kissing her even if he was managing to keep his hands controlled for the moment.

But reminding him, and putting in that extra effort, was fun! So she tried to do it anyway, knowing neither of them particularly needed it. seeing as there wasn't much else she could do in this situation.

Inside her mind, though... The version of her from yesterday would have just died if she'd been exposed to the thoughts Kate was having right about now.

Bod himself probably would have died at her thoughts but, unlike the version of her from yesterday, he'd invite her to tell him and take the blush for the pleasurable feelings they'd bring.

If he could, Bod pressed even more heavily against her, one leg in between the two of hers and hands wandering up and down her sides while he kissed her.

Kate made a muffled sound against his mouth, then. Just a little noise of appreciation for being so close. She upped the intensity of the kiss a little, too, making sure he'd know that she liked it all.

It was safe to say she wasn't paying much attention to her feet, at least.

Bod's mind was being affected by some serious fog right about now so it was safe to say their current surroundings were starting to fade a little. He'd blame her, if she asked, because she was the reason he was getting fogged up and slowly carried away.

He actually did stop kissing her just for a brief moment, just to catch his breath and give himself some focus before he leaned right back in, getting right back to where he'd left off.

Kate wasn't really helping with the fog. Wasn't even trying to, no, not with the way she was insisting he stayed close, with one of her hands pressed flat against his upper back and the other curled against the side of his neck while she kept kissing him.

Call it making up for past prudery, and reveling in feeling like herself. Something like that.
