"Hey," Gray echoed. "Just made one of your girlfriend's friends cry, I think?" He shrugged, sipping more cider. It did not make him feel any better. Was this.. guilt? No. It must have been annoyance. Yes. Annoyance.
"...Speaking of which, where is your girlfriend?" He cocked an eyebrow at his friend. Those two were like, joined at the hip.
He secured his own cup of cider and moved to lean on the side of the table. "She's... over there somewhere," he nodded his head to the other side of the room where some tables were, "I think." They didn't always keep tabs on each other.
"Gray, what did you do?" Keegan wondered if Gray making someone cry was going to become a trend. Or if it already was and he just hadn't noticed it until Homecoming. First Michi, now someone else.
"Nothing?" Gray said defensively. "I don't know! She likes that Fred kid or something and started hitting me. I don't get girls man, I don't know how you do it." Never mind that Gray also had a girlfriend.
He sipped his cider with a scowl, frowning at everyone at the dance.
Keegan frowned. "Well you had to have done something to trigger her to start hitting you. Do you even know the girl's name?" Somehow, he doubted it.
He paused to take another sip of his cider and he shrugged. "I think I've stopped trying to understand how they work on a whole. Just concentrate on the one that matters. Gets easier that way." Or at least it seemed like it was.
That answer made Keegan uncertain that Gray truly did know the girl's name. There was a chance he'd find out anyway, if Rowan mentioned anything to him later. Either way, Gray triggered someone's rage and that wasn't anything new.
Keegan shrugged and shook his head a little bit. "No, I'm not bored. Far from it. I also don't get bored of girls as quickly as you do."
"Pfff, I don't believe that for a second!" Gray laughed, finishing off the last of his cup of cider.
"Everyone gets bored, Keeg. Rowan is cute and all, but she's such a nerd! She that much of an animal in bed or something?" He nudged Keegan with his elbow expectantly.
Keegan couldn't deny the fact his girlfriend was a nerd. That was plain as day. He knew it. She admitted it. But she was his nerd. "Hey, doesn't matter she's a nerd. There are plenty of non-nerdy things about her."
"Besides," Keegan couldn't help the wicked grin that formed behind his cider cup. "If it wasn't for her unnatural interest in school, she wouldn't have to scold me for not doing my work." There was nothing in the word 'scold' that suggested it meant the bad sort. Keegan really didn't know why he bothered to voice a partial confirmation to Gray's suggestion, other than to see how his friend would react.
Gray frowned for a moment, taking a little too long to process Keegan's allusion. But he got there, eventually. His smile was slow, dumb, and a little mystified.
"..Wait." Gray laughed, a little in shock, a little because he wasn't quite sure what Keegan had just said to him.
"Really?" He whipped his head around to look for Rowan, so that he could get a good look at her. Somehow figure out all of her secrets by looking at her in more detail. As if he hadn't looked already.
"Wow." Were all nerds secretly animals in the sack? Gray was beginning to wonder if he had made a mistake by rejecting Meka as harshly as he did. "Shit."
Keegan was smiling in amusement by the time Gray's head spun around in what he assumed was an attempt to find where Rowan was. He shrugged and went to take another sip of his cider.
"You might be amazed at what you find when you actually look past what you see on the surface." If he spotted Gray attempting to woo some quiet and shy girl after that, he was going to laugh. Hysterically.
