Even though the DJ was not really pumping out the Music that Archer usually would listen to he appreciated that he did a good job of getting people pumped and out on the dancefloor. Even someone like him with two left feet enjoyed himself flopping around with his date. At least he could make April laugh with his movements. After a few dances, he realized that as much as he was enjoying dancing with April, there was one person he would like to this with the whole evening. Kavan.

When the song finished he grabbed April by the hand and lead her back to the table where Stella, Santiago, and now Carter stood. [color=35996B]“I’ll let you take the next few dances.[/color]” he said patting the devil on the shoulder in an attempt at male bonding, which he regretted immediately. His face probably showing it. [color=35996B]“I’m going to find my better half… see you guys later”[/color] he gave a small wave to the group as he made his way through the crowd in search of his boyfriend.

It didn’t really take that much time to spot the tall, dark, and handsome teenager standing and talking to some of their classmates. When Archer got closer he recognized the blond one as Jasper and the other one as… [color=35996B][i]wait, what?[/i][/color] Was that his cousin?! Why the hell was she here? He wracked his brain as he drew closer. He seemed to remember that his mother had mentioned that Dani and her family might be moving back. But seeing her at the dance was came as a shock.

When he arrived he snaked an arm around Kavan planting a kiss on his cheek.[color=35996B] “Hey, Van… missed you!”[/color] he whispered to him before turning to the others. [color=35996B]“Jasper… nice to see you.”[/color] His green eyes flicked to his cousin, confusion swimming in them. [color=35996B]“Dani… surprised to see you here.”[/color] he began [color=35996B]“I didn’t know you had moved already… also who brough-”[/color] then it hit him. Of course, his aunts had set up an old fashion cousin date for her and Max. Again he thanked the stars and the moon for April. If not for her maybe he was the one who had to commit social suicide and come to a dance with his cousin.

[color=35996B]“Well… Welcome to King’s I guess!”[/color] he chuckled awkwardly. It wasn’t that he and his cousin didn’t get along. It was just that they had very little in common. And their father’s had always lumped Dani together with Warren as they both were athletic and Archer… was not. But before they could exchange more than pleasantries. The music got cut off and the room became silent and a familiar voice echoed through the speakers.

Archer’s eyes widened as Ryland spoke. What was happening? It sounded like the boy had had the realization of a lifetime. When he finished a lot happened at once, first Ryland stood awaiting Red’s response, then Torvie stood up in a huff and marched right over to Marisol and started talking very intensely.

His knee jerk reaction was to step in and defuse the situation but for the third time that evening, he had to convince himself: [color=35996B][i]This is not your problem… stay out of it[/i][/color]. Instead, he tightened his grip around his boyfriend and gave him a worried look. 

[color=35996B]“Happy Valentine…”[/color] he gave him a weak smile.
