"Well, I'm not a doctor." Evan said.

"I don't know if it's needed, or if he's busy, or what." he went on.

He then paused for a moment, and looked at Blair.

"And if'd make ME happy?" he asked.

"I... well... I mean... this is about YOU." he said.

"How do -I- fit into this at all?" he asked.

Again, Evan blushed, but managed to shake it off rather quickly.

"Eh-heh..." he chuckled.

"Ah... well... I..." he stammered, before sighing. "I cannot deny that." he admitted.

"I was really worried about you..." he said. "And I'm very glad you're... well... going to be all right, at least." he said further.

"And... I'm your best friend?" he then asked.

"Really?" he asked further, a flurry of conflicting emotions raging in his mind like a tempest.

Again, Evan's eyes widened, and his face turned a shade of red.

"I... ah... uh..." he stammered.

"An... an... an upgrade?" he asked.

"El... eligible, huh?" he then asked further.

He then cleared his throat, inhaled slowly, let out a large breath, and was silent for a moment.

"And... and how might we go about this?" he asked him.

Evan nodded quickly.

"Sure!" he replied.

"Whenever you want!" he told him.

"Just give me a call when you want to go!" he said further, before pausing and clearing his throat again.

"...right." he said, this time more quietly.

"Which is to say, I AM interested." he summarized, trying to regain his cool.

Evan just shook his head.

"Don't apologize." he said.

"I'm just glad I was able TO help." he said further.

"...and... next Tuesday?" he then asked.

"Y-yeah, sure. Sounds good to me." he told him.

"Where?" he asked him further.

"Like, where do you want to go?"

Evan nodded.

"All right." he replied.

"That works." he said.

"........" he was then silent for a moment, and sighed.

"Do you want a place to sleep?" he asked. "Or, are you even tired?" he asked further.

"We can set something up for you here if you want." he then offered.

As Blair stood there waiting for Evan, he was approached by a taller, paler male. He looked at him almost quizzically, before introducing himself.

"Hello, there." he said.

"Name's Darrel." he introduced himself.

"Haven't seen you around before, you from another school?" he then asked.

"If so, who're you here with?"

Darrel was silent for a moment as Blair said what he did.

"Uh... yeah, I figured." he replied.

"I was asking-" he started to say further, before they both heard Evan.

"Yo! Dare!" Evan called out.

"Ev!" Darrel called back, showing Blair that they were close friends.

Darrel just chuckled.

"Yeah, I get it." he replied.

"So you guys are here together?" he then asked.

"Yep." Evan replied, handing Blair his drink.

"Told you I had one for the dance." he said to Darrel with a laugh.

Darrel shook his head.

"Kinda." he replied.

"I was wondering if he'd EVER find someone, is all." he said.

"That's all. He's never shown interest in any of the girls here." he went on with a shrug.

".........." Evan was silent as he heard that, before smirking slightly.

'Hooooooooo boy.' he thought.
