[DANCE] to the sound of the beat

[shaun michel foster]

Shaun weaved through the wave of people, surprised the turn out was so big. She fixed the top of her strapless red dress a bit, then spied her favorite person. She walked over to him, taking her seat next to him.

"Hey, handsome." She said with a smile, cupping his cheek as she kissed him softly. She ran her thumb across his cheek for a moment, thinking about how lucky she was to have someone so sweet before leaning back in her seat, reaching over to take his hand.

"Everyone looks so pretty, huh?" She asked with a smile, then crossed her legs, tapping the toe of one of her white heels on the floor to the music.

Shawn smiled as he spotted her approach. "Hey.." He met the kiss tenderly, eyes half closing before he took up her hand, threaded his fingers through he own. "You look beautiful." He smiled a crooked smile her way, the same one all of the Gryffon's wore.

"It definitely is," He murmured, wishing he could give her more in all of this. But even though he couldn't, he found himself content, happy. He was accepted by her and that was what mattered. He was happy to be here with her, and her alone for tonight, planned on cherishing the moment.

"I missed you. They decided to give me extra hours at work, and so I've only had enough time to go home, eat an apple, and go to bed." She ran her thumb over his, smiling at his compliment.

"You always look hot. But you're leaning more towards sexy tonight." She said with a smile and wink, then kissed his forehead.

"You know Marc left? Some time last week. He got an apartment on the other end of town. Closer to his boyfriend, I guess." She shrugged, pulling her feet up into the chair as she leaned against the arm. She figured she may as well get comfortable; she wasn't here to impress anyone but Shawn. Channing walked past, then stopped dead in his tracks and walked back.

"Are you sure you're my sister? You look hot in that dress." She swatted at him, wrinkling her nose.

"Go away, you pest. You're not Shawn. Your opinion doesn't matter."

[shawn fleiter gryffon]

Shawn laughed softly. "Do not," He murmured, smiling nonetheless. "Thanks."
He rubbed his fingers over the top of her hand gently, glancing at her in surprise.

"Really? So he came out? That's cool." Seeming to think about it, he thought back on Jacob's moody actions towards the guys Cole had been hanging out with, knew he was just being protective was all.

Glancing up at Channing faintly, he silenced a snicker, offering a lopsided smile instead. "Yeah, you're opinion doesn't matter," He teased, brown and green eyes glinting playfully.

[shaun michel foster]

"Be careful. He might end up in your pants later." Channing said with a smirk.

"How do you know he hasn't already?" She asked seriously.

"Because, between the three of us.." He leaned close to the two of them. "Everyone knows you're still a virgin, Shauni Macaroni." He smirked, then ducked away before she could hit him.

"I swear he was hatched." She said with a roll of her eyes. "But if you want my pants, you can have them. If you think you can fit." She said with a smirk, trying to play off Channing's rude antics.

[shawn fleiter gryffon]

Shawn laughed softly at the sibling's antics, only shaking his head with a gentle smile. He couldn't deny he had found himself thinking about that even before meeting Shaun, had figured it would never matter, he would never have sex like others and that was that. He often pushed thoughts like that aside, didn't wish to think about them. But the conversation didn't bother him too much.

He looked around, wondering who else would show up that he knew, stretched a bit and wrapped his arm around Shaun's shoulders, taking her hand in his other one instead.

[shaun michel foster]

She smiled, laying her head on his shoulder. She looked up at him, reaching up with her free hand to tip his chin towards hers. "It doesn't matter, okay? Chan is a pig. I like you for you. And that's all that matters." She kissed him softly, cupping his cheek gently in her hand. She kissed him once more before laying her head back down on his shoulder.

"See anyone you know?" She asked, knowing she didn't really see anyone besides Channing, and a few people who worked in the mall. But other than that, she didn't know anyone. And she didn't care to. It wasn't often it was just her and Shawn.

"So, how's Ty and his orange haired girl? No more locking himself in the bathroom?" She asked, draping her free arm over her stomach.

[shawn fleiter gryffon]

Shawn smiled. "I didn't say it matter," He breathed, meeting each kiss gently. "Just a reason to stop and think was all." He shrugged a bit, knew he tended to have to think about things quite a bit more.

"Hmm...I few people, don't really know them well. But I guess party's just starting right?" He turned his head, kissing her temple gently.

[shaun michel foster]

"I guess. But with Channing here, he think's the party has already begun." She laughed, watching him dance with an obviously uninterested female. She saw a familiar face and jumped up, throwing her arms around Marc.

"MARC!" She squeaked, and he hugged her tightly, picking her up off her feet. He carried her back, sitting her down again where she curled up against Shawn again.

"So this one's yours?" He asked, sitting down next to her.

"Kinda. Where's Tony?" She asked, looking over at him. He shrugged, tapping his keys against his leg.

"I just got off. Decided to come see you. I love you, okay?" He kissed the top of her head. She smiled up at him. "Take care of my little sister." He said with a smile, before leaving.

[shawn fleiter gryffon]

"Of course," Shawn murmured, lips tilting up some as he watched him go. "He seems awful happy," He murmured, then nodded towards the pastel hair that caught his eyes. "There's Zoey and Tony," He huffed, running his fingers through Shaun's hair as he watched the two siblings before turning his attention back to her instead.
