As soon as Vance took a better look at Gabe, all of his preplanned words went flying out the window. He felt his eyes trail down the panther boy's chest, having to force himself to look back up and avoid looking at the bare skin. Things only got worse when Gabe came back out with only boxers and a bathrobe and he just had to have glasses, didn't he? The wolf boy's face was a tomato by the time Gabe finally realized who he had invited in, but he stubbornly kept his gaze on the other boy. The nervous fluttering in his chest increased tenfold as he watched Gabe go about his business and get himself ready. Finally, Gabe gave Vance the go ahead.
Vance opened his mouth to speak and his mind short circuited. "I lied to you yesterday." And there went his big mouth. Realizing his mistake, he rushed to fix it. "No! No, I mean, not about the dance, I still really, really want to go to the dance with you, but about you being my best friend. I mean! Not that we aren't, I mean, we never said anything, but we're really close, and it's always fun when we hang out, but I mean, maybe I feel-I mean I know this is weird but, I just, I... I..." All of his thoughts had flown out of his head as he stared at Gabe. He hadn't realized how close he had gotten to the boy in the midst of his explanations and ramblings. Blushing and looking still somewhat sleepy, Gabe looked, dare Vance say it, cute. Vance faintly felt his face heat up more, as if that was even possible. "I..." He tried once more before leaning in.
The kiss wasn't much of a kiss, just a quick peck. Their lips barely brushed before Vance jerked back, his eyes blown wide as he realized just what he had done. "O-oh no..." He whimpered before rushing into a full on apology. "I-I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to overstep like that! I just, I couldn't get my words out and you just looked so... so... a-and you make me feel all weird and tingly inside and I've never felt that way before! Every time I see you, I feel all warm and happy a-and I just wanna hang out with you all the time, and you're just so talented and smart and cool and you take me seriously! I like it when you smile and when you talk to me and listen to what I have to say! I thought that just meant that we were really good friends, but you're... you're really special to me and I think I like you more than that. I... I have a crush on you, Gabe!" Vance was practically shaking, his wolf ears flat against his head. He panted. The air suddenly felt ten times heavier than before. A pregnant pause followed, the tension thick enough that they could cut it with a knife.
"I..." Vance started, a hand on his chest. He had gotten it out there, but why was he still so shaky and nervous? Everything was supposed to be fine now. "I have a crush on you, Gabe." He repeated, the words foreign yet so, so right on his tongue. "I just didn't realize it because I'm kinda dense about these things. Either way, I shouldn't have just... I took it a bit too far. I just wanted to make sure you knew so there wasn't any misunderstandings or any bad things happening. I..." Vance looked away, trying to find the words. He took one look at Gabe before starting to head towards the door. "I'm sorry, I should get going. I'm sorry I overstepped. I'll see you in class." Vance could still feel his heart pounding in his chest, his ears still hidden in his mass of hair.

Before Sylvia could blink, Lev had left and she was left all alone with Seymour. At least Lev had told her what happened to Gabe. Turning back to the gazelle boy, she smiled apologetically as he insisted she take a nap. "Ah, right, I'm sorry about this, Seymour. I was just up late last night working with Lev to get his weapon started and then I had to work on my own project for the dance which I would totally tell you about, but it has to be a surprise so I can't really tell you." The silverette rambled, slowly moving the sparse plate of food and coffee she had gotten off to the side to make room. "Thanks for doing this by the way. It seems like you're always doing stuff to make things better for me like comforting me and training with me and helping my team and getting me to go to the dance and giving all those speeches." She slowly lowered her head onto her arms, using them as a sort of cushion as her mind grew hazier and hazier. She didn't even realize she was still speaking as she slowly fell into a sleepy doze. "I wish I could make you smile like you make me smile..." With that she was out, her whole body slumping and her breathing evening out.
