"Jaime!" Dinah beamed and threw open her arms on the next spin.

He was wearing his usual suit and grinning himself as he stepped forward and pulled Dinah into a hug. "Hey, you!"

Dinah snickered and hugged him hard. "I'm so glad you made it. Look, no skeletons! Glitter moose!"

Jaime laughed. "And no cast. Is that why you're out here dancing so hard?"

"Damn straight," Dinah said, dancing out and grabbing his hand, twirling back into him. "Aren't you glad to have a day off?"
weldedtomyspine: (more than mildly amused)

Another laugh. "I have a feeling that it's going to be a lot like work, if you're going to be making me dance." Not that he minded at all. He twirled her in close, and then away.

"Got that right," Dinah teased. "Soooo, tell me about DDS school. Tell me about the girls you're meeting in El Paso."

"Well, nothing dental until I get my bachelors," Jaime shrugged. "And biochem is kicking my butt." Even if he was getting A's.

Then he shook his head, and gave Dinah an eyeroll. "And I'm not meeting any girls. Too busy."

And none of them really compared to the girls he'd known at Fandom (and Brenda was taken), so...

"You and Momoko. Freshman year is rough." Dinah jitterbugged away, then back, shaking her head. "It does get easier though. Swear." She tilted her head. "How's adjusting to this break-up going now?"

"You are so full of it," Dinah said affectionately. They'd still been dancing around each other this time last year. She'd still been hoping. Jaime might have had a little longer to get over it this time, but she'd still bet money he was mopey.

Yeah, well, Jaime could do two dances at once. He was talented like that. "Full of honesty and convincingness?" Which was totally a word.

Dinah snorted. Even if it was with with affection. "Dork. Are you doing anything college-like besides study? Join any clubs or things? Science Club?"

"Well, there's not really a lot of time. Between homework and, er, other stuff," Blue Beetle stuff, "there's not all that much time left. And I spend most of it with my family when I can. He hadn't seen nearly enough of them while he'd been in Fandom."

"Do something more," Dinah scolded him gently. "You're not just your work ethic, dude."

"With all my copious free time?" Jaime scoffed with a helpless shrug.

Dinah spun in to hug him. "THen hang out with the Justice League types. You do better when you've got someone watching your back."

"Well, that's probably true," Jaime admitted, grateful for the proximity.

He looked around over her shoulder. "Kyle busy this weekend?" he asked curiously. After his call with Dinah earlier, he'd kind of wanted to talk to the other guy, gauge his mindset.

"Yeeeeah," Dinah grimaced. "We're heading toward midterms, and... he wasn't all that enthusiastic about this anyway, right now."

Which one had precedence, hard to say.

"Fandom, you mean?" Jaime could understand being wary of the place. At least if you knew what you might be getting into.

"Uh-hunh." Dinah shook her head. "I'm hoping he'll come to the New Year's Ball, after classes are over. When things settle down."

"Makes sense. Things are always less stressful between classes." Jaime spun Dinah quickly, then pulled her in again.

Man. He'd missed this. And it was really nice to know that they'd reached a place where they could dance again.

Dinah was too. There'd always be wistfulness, but it was background now.

"You planning anything for spring break, or next summer? We could do that road trip we were talking about then."
