Room 417, before the dance!

There is no squeeing here. Because that would be sad. There is no squeeing while waiting, and there is just calmness and... other stuff that looks like calm. Right. Certainly no flailing.

Again. That would be sad.

Archie is not standing outside the door shuffling his feet nervously. He is absolutely not raising his hand to knock and then shoving it back into his pocket repeatedly. There is no coughing and nervous adjusting of his collar.

Except there is, and this pattern repeats about five times before he actually does knock.

And Jaye definitely doesn't lunge for the door. No, really, but that's because she's wearing heels and concussing herself would be bad.

But she's not grinning like an idiot when she opens the door and says, "Hi."

Archie definitely isn't grinning like an idiot either, nor does his voice catch embarrassingly when he replies, "Good evening, Jaye. You're looking quite, ah, fetching tonight."

He certainly isn't turning kind of red, either.

Jaye isn't blushing, either, and she's not having a hard time getting the smile off her face. Nor is she cursing the fact that she suddenly turned thirteen again. Dammit.

"You're pretty hot yourself," she says, because there's no way she can say 'fetching'. That can be his word.

"I'm assuming that's a compliment," says Archie, whose grin is not at all growing exponentially by the second. "So thank you?"

There is absolutely no almost stumbling over his own feet when he gives her a little bow and holds out his arm. "Shall we?"

[fates_jaye]

Jaye would certainly not notice stumbling even if she saw it, really. And she's not squeeing internally at the fact that he totally just bowed. She takes his arm like they show in the movies. "I guess we shall."

"Off we go then, (http://www.livejournal.com/community/fandomhigh/512650.html?thread=23801226#t23801226)" says Archie, and he can't believe he just said that, because it sounds incredibly silly.
