Prom 2018, Community Center, Friday Evening

[omgnochecksyet]

Sure, the extreme winter weather had come and gone, but it had clearly still been on the minds of those in Student Council when they'd planned tonight's dance, as the theme went in the complete opposite direction.

Welcome, Fandom, to a tropical paradise!

There were palm trees, of course... as well as giant tissue-paper flowers hanging from the ceiling and brightly colored cutouts of frogs and parrots decorating the walls. Possibly with a good deal more glitter than one would usually associate with such a theme, but this was Fandom.

"My appetite for pizza is strictly less than either yours or Dante's," she said, that laugh of his making her insides clench in the most pleasurable of ways. "And it's much, much less than my appetite for...other things."

Like kissing. And, with Anders here and laughing like that, she was suddenly very hungry.

Anders kissed her back just as fiercely, tasting mint and lipstick. He was smirking when they came apart.

"I shouldn't tell you this," he said, "but once Dante and I ended up in the men's room before a dance. Couldn't wait to get home."

"You mean last year, during prom?" Kathy asked, eyebrow raised. The side of her mouth kicked up in a wry grin. "I know. I spotted you two sneaking out while I was talking to Eliot."

She and Dante'd had a talk about it the other day and everything.

"You should have said something," Anders protested, wincing a bit. "Or come join us. Or both."

He'd honestly thought she wasn't paying attention.

The perils of sneaking out with someone wearing a bright shock of red. And for a few months after she'd come back, she'd been pretty hyper-vigilant.

"Pretty sure I wouldn't have been welcome," she reminded gently. "Dante and I were still trying to figure out how to talk to each other. You and I were better, but..."

There had still been some spikes there, too.

"And I didn't feel I had a right to say anything back then. And by the time I did, it wasn't something I was thinking about anymore." She squeezed his hand, letting him know she was okay. They were okay. "And I'm never gonna stop you from ducking out with Dante. I only ever want a head's up."

"Well, now I feel bad we did it," Anders said quietly. "I'm sorry. I wasn't thinking from your point of view, I suppose."

"Hey," Kathy said, tugging him into a hug. "It's water under the bridge. Last year was--hard. Really hard. For all of us. You weren't used to needing to considering how I might feel about stuff anymore."

She leaned up, touching her forehead to his. "We aren't there anymore. So long as we try to be better in the future, that's what matters to me."

"All right," Anders said warily. "I'll try to be better, but I wish I'd been better then."

Kathy couldn't help but laugh a little bit. "If we're changing what we did in the past, that's still really low on the list," she told him. "There's all of LA for me to fix first, so I think you're still pretty solid."
