After the Dance [Benji]

[Angel Light]

After changing out of her dark green dress robes into shorts and a lighter green tank top, she headed of to the Dallin tower. Her feet were much more comfortable in the slip on tenis shoes she was now wearing. Sure they looked dorky, but Angel didn't care at the moment, it was comfort she was looking for.

All the way up in the Observary, Angel smiled seeing that very few people were around, none of which was Ben. Glad to finally be somewhere before him, she stood by one of the many windows overlooking the grounds. Everything looked amazing from the height, and the night sky was just as spectacular. Leaning against the wall looking up, she watched the stars as she waited for Benji to come up the stairs.

[crimsontears]

Benji made his way to Dallin Tower after changing into jeans and a t-shirt, and was relieved to do so. The robes were so irritating. Walking up the billions of stairs [or at least it seemed that way], Ben was relieved when he saw Angel almost immediately.

Walking up to her, a smile on his face, he greeted her with a light kiss on the cheek. "Evening." A perfect place for an after-date of sorts, though there were a few other people. The tower was pretty decent sized, though; there was room for many people. "Missed you."

Okay. It'd been... like... fifteen minutes. But oh well. That didn't matter. Benji still missed her.

[Angel Light]

Angel didn't have to wait long for Benji to come through the door. Smiling as he came over and kissed her cheek, and, just like before with the others, she took his hand in hers. "Missed you too." And, like before, she was no longer paying attention to the two or three other people in the room. To her, they were the only ones around.

[crimsontears]

Smiling as Angel took his hand, he was glad to hear she'd missed him as well. He leaned against the wall next to her, closing his eyes for a moment. "Did you have fun tonight?"

Benji felt like he should ask, considering there had been a bit of an awkward feeling that was mutual through the entire group they were with earlier. He'd had fun when they were on their own, of course; and that was what mattered, right?

[Angel Light]

"Of course." Angel looked at Benji then up to the sky. Well, technically, it was the ceiling disguised as the night sky. Being shorter now that she didn't have high heels on, she easily rested her head on his shoulder.

"Did you?" She asked after a few moments.

[crimsontears]

Tilting his head so it rested against hers, he smiled. "Of course I did." Closing his eyes for a moment, he realized how tired he actually was. As soon as they left he'd probably go straight to bed. But for now, he'd concentrate on making sure they had a nice ending to their date.

"Anytime I'm with you I have fun." Again with the cheesiness. Well, it must've been a Benji curse. He was severely cheesy all the time, at least with Angel.

[Angel Light]

Closing her eyes, Angel smiled as he rested his head on hers. Half happy they were standing, she knew that there was a good chance that they might fall asleep should they sit. Everything that night had been perfect. She couldn't have hoped for a better evening

"You mean I'm not boring?" The tiredness was getting to her, and she asked with mock surprise.

[crimsontears]

"Of course not." Yawning lightly, Benji tried to hide it; though that never worked out. Half contemplating sitting down, he had this feeling he'd pass out of he did. So, he figured he should just stay standing up. Yeah, falling asleep in the middle of a conversation, that'd be a great way to end the night.

"If anything, I'm boring. I mean, all I can talk about is how boring I am." Laughing a little bit, Ben almost had to strain to keep his eyes open.

[Angel Light]

"You? Boring?" Angel asked with a smile, although having glimpsed the yawn, did so herself. "Never." Deciding against resting her eyes, despite standing, she looked straight up to the night sky. If he was tired, surely he'd know that he didn't have to stay. She thought to herself.

The past few nights, she had been up later than usual, although no one could tell the difference. Now she was debating with herself silently. Should she say what she had 'choked on' during the dance or not? At the moment, not was winning.

[[ha! i gots my skilz back... well, some of 'em at least.]]

[crimsontears]

[lol I never had skillz in the first place xDDD & reading about the yawning makes me yawn! xDD]

"I am too boring. Seriously! I can't even figure out a conversation..." drifting into another yawn, one he couldn't hide as well, Benji sighed. Glancing down at Angel [ha, he loved being tall], he wondered if she wanted to leave or something. They were both tired, obviously.

But then again, being virtually alone up here was better than the possible crowds in the QQ. Glancing out the window, Benji saw it starting to sprinkle out. Lovely. They had to walk back in the rain. Just his luck.

[Angel Light]

Looking up, Angel smiled and shook her head. "You're not boring, but you know what you are?" She asked, still looking up to him. "You are too tall." Unable to help the smile, Angel tried to say it in a matter of fact voice. It didn't really come out right though.

[:]]

[crimsontears]

[my skills are so non-existent right now I'll apologize first, lol]

Smirking, he knelt down a bit, bending his knees. He was relatively her height now, and he tilted his head slightly. "Better hun?" Of course he'd always been tall, it wasn't his fault. Laughing a little bit, Benji tried to stay in that position, but his knees started to hurt. Sliding down the wall, he sat down; extremely shorter than her now. "Or now?"

[Angel Light]

[[lol, don't worry bout it.]]

As he bent down, Angel smiled and gave a small laugh. Before answering she gave him a fast kiss. "Yes." Laughing a bit more as he sat down, she shrugged. "Well, now your too short." She smiled looking down at him.

Sitting down next to him, the height difference wasn't so bad. "Now this is perfect." She smiled as she took hold of his hand again.

[crimsontears]

[this is too short for even me. x.x I might edit it later. lol]

Laughing lightly, he shrugged. "What, you don't like short people?" Smirking, he sat still for a moment before giving her a quick kiss. Payback for her kiss. Mwahaha, he was so evil sometimes. Ha, yeah, he wished. "I'd kill to be shorter..."Laughing a bit at himself, he decided to rephrase what he'd said. "Okay, not kill. Severely hurt."

[Angel Light]

Shrugging, Angel glanced down and back to him. "It's not-" She barely started before he kissed her. Deciding what she was going to say wasn't all that important, she raised her brow when he said he'd kill to be shorter. "Why would you want to be shorter?"

[crimsontears]

[yay, Benji's back to the year he should be! lol]

Smirking at her question, he sighed lightly. "For the last few years I've been six feet tall. I hate it, everyone else is so short..." Deciding that wasn't exactly a good way to word it, he mentally smacked himself. "No offense. I just don't like looking down at people."

Stretching his legs out, Benji realized they were the culprit to his height. Maybe, just maybe, there was a spell or surgery or something to make him shorter. Not too much shorter, just a little bit. "And I'd rather be maybe an inch or two taller than you. It'd be easier to kiss you."

[Angel Light]

Resting her chin on his shoulder, Angel just shrugged. She had wished she was taller before, being average height was just that, average. She felt herself blush lightly as he said a reason for being a little shorter than he was. "See, that's where this amazing shoe comes in that they made for girls. Heels may be a pain in the butt, but sometimes their worth it."

Smiling, she gave a sort've laugh and looked away slightly. "Besides, being tall can be an advantage, right? I mean..." Bitting her lip, she felt her face go red again, this time for embarrassment. "I'll only tell you this if you promise not to laugh." Having succesfully passed tired to slap happy, she looked at him seriously, or as seriously as she could with a slight smile.

[crimsontears]

Laughing a little at her heels comment, he nodded. "Don't ask how I know, but I do." Raising an eyebrow a bit at her comment, he wondered if he wanted to know. It was embarrassing or something, so obviously it'd be either hilarious or not funny at all. Benji just had to choose if he wanted to risk it. "I promise."

Raising a hand, as if he was doing a swearing in, he couldn't suppress a small laugh. He'd try not to laugh, but something was up. "I promise I'll try not to, at least... I'm only human."

[Angel Light]

Bitting her lip, a smile still there, she rolled her eyes and leaned back against the wall. Deciding his trying would have to work, Angel sighed. She had never really told anyone this, but she trusted Ben. "Well, before I came here, I used to be obsessed with this show, America's Next Top Model... so obsessed I decided to look up and see what the requirements were to get on the show. You needed to be at least 5'8" to be on it. I was, and am still, two inches too short."

Her secret desire to be a model. She knew how silly it sounded, but she still wanted to do it. She hated the fact that by two inches, she wasn't tall enough. "That's my secret dream job, modeling." Bitting her lip, she waited to hear a chuckle of some sort from Benji.

[crimsontears]

When he heard 'America's Top Model,' his eyebrow raised slightly. He'd heard of the show, but never really watched it. Models, to him, [at least last he checked] were super-skinny anorexics. Which was completely weird, and kinda sick. People who were too skinny were annoying. Tilting his head slightly when she said she wanted to be a model, he smiled.

"Well, if that's what you wanna do, go for it." Shrugging at the fact that she was two inches short, that'd be easily fixed probably in the next year. Angel probably wasn't done growing anyway. "It's better than my secret dream job." Grinning, he wondered if he should tell her the 'secret' dream job.
