She rolled her eyes at hearing him talk about the librarian. She had nothing against Miss Mercer, honestly, but she didn't want to hear Stasi talk about her like that. He had hit the nail right on the head, she couldn't think of anything unpleasant. "Well... I could always withhold kisses," she teased.

"Don't lie, you love it when I make threats." She had completely missed the point, he had gotten her a gift. It took her a second to really register that. Her eyes got wider, her lip curved up more. "You didn't have to get me anything, I just wanted you to be there," she said more quietly.

"You would never dare withhold your wonderful kisses. You would suffer more than me, surely?" he teased, trying very hard not to nuzzle his nose against hers. Since when am I a housebroken kitten? He shrugged it off, this feeling that had been circulating around his mind since their summer letter exchange in which he revealed far too much about himself because she was so open and honest.

He moved to dip her suddenly. "I do enjoy your threats, almost as much as your kisses." He might have used this opportunity for a stolen kiss, but they were very near a chaperon on the edge of the dancing.

He swirled her closer to the middle of the dance floor. He hoped there was too much activity around them for anyone to notice. He kept one hand firmly on her waist as his other reached into his pants pocket. He removed the rather pricy ring and presented it without flourish. He would never tell her how much it cost or how much time he had spent looking for it. He began the night after she left his room with Brutus curled up rather grumpily in her arms because he was being parted once again from Lorelai.

"I would have given it to you even if you had lost, but now it is more special because it stands for your victory."

"No way, I could go without kisses for way longer than you," she giggled, feeling stupid immediately afterward. Sure she was bubbly and cute but giggling with Anastas de Kooning? Since when?

Sunny was surprised by the sudden dip but didn't loose her footing, she moved fluidly with him even when he swirled toward the middle of the dance floor. When he presented his gift to her, there were no words, for once in her life she was completely speechless. She removed the dinosaur ring from her finger and replaced it with the gorgeous green ring.

What is this? What does it mean? Boys don't just get girls they "have fun with" rings! She rested her head against his very gently. "It's beautiful Stasi. Thank you."

Ordinarily Stas would ruin this pleasant moment by mentioning that she probably could survive longer without kissing, but that was fine because he had other options. He did have other options, but he didn't want to crush her delightful giggling so soundly.

"What on Earth is this?" he asked taking the dinosaur ring from her hand. He slipped it into his pants pocket for safe keeping.

"I am glad you like it." He enjoyed the moment, heads pressed together, bodies moving to the rhythm. Their one dance was bleeding into a second dance as the song shifted. It was another slow one and Anastas was regretting telling her that she could only have one dance.

She laughed about the dinosaur ring in his pocket. "It's an Apatosaurus, commonly referred to as a Brontosaurus," she said innocently as if it would explain everything.

She was kind of hoping the song would last just a little bit longer. Nice moments like this happened fairly infrequently with Stasi, and they were so nice it was almost worth all the bullshit to get there. She wasn't going to be the one to stop dancing so she kept right on going when the second song had clearly taken over.

He shook his head quietly at the little explanation of the dinosaur that was less explanation and more paleontology lesson. "I will google later why it has two names. I am more curious about why you know them both."

The music continued on and they were still moving. He smirked at her just a little bit. "Okay you win again. You get two dances tonight, but that is my limit. In return I get one scorching good night kiss and at least one round of shots somewhere teachers will not see."

She grinned. "I like dinosaurs," she shrugged a little. "I used to hoard all the library's paleontology books when I was little," she admitted sheepishly. "Dinosaurs are effin cool," she added with emphasis.

She laughed easily, she had her sneaky little way of getting what she wanted. "Admit it, you love dancing. But since I'm nice and I only asked for one dance I will meet your wager sir," she giggled again, and again tried to push memories from the night before out of her head.

He finished the dance as promised, chatting idly about how wonderful dinosaurs were (stopping long enough to ask her what her favorite dinosaur happened to be).

After he escorted her from the floor and found a spot at a table where they could be comfortable. He could sneak his hip flask out long enough to toss a shot into his cup of punch and properly enjoy the evening.

When Sunny seemed restless and bored he insisted that she should go have some fun with her friends for awhile. Most of her friends didn't approve of him and he didn't want to suck up all her time this evening. Also he thought it would be some fun to go out on the prowl, see how much he could get away with.
