When Asher turned him down to be his date for the night, he should have just taken that as a sign to stay home.  But Colton decided he would go and try to just be friends. He had made a donation to the firefighters fund and now was standing around trying to figure out why he was there. He saw Mariana off having fun. He turned to the bartender and ordered a drink. “Scotch on the rocks.” He turned back to look at the crowd a sigh falling from his lips.

Somehow through the nervousness, Tony mustered up the courage to lift his free hand and knock on the door.  With every second, he could hear his heartbeat pounding in his ear as he started to fidget in the new suit he rented.  You got this.  He repeated mentally, doing his best to maintain that aura of confidence he tried sending out.

The moment the door open, Tony’s eyes widened at the sight before him.  “Wow,” he he murmured under his breath as he gazed along the beauty that was Ximena.  Tony had always known her to be one of the most gorgeous women on Earth, but tonight she was an actual goddess and he was now wondering why she would even agree to go with the likes of him when she could have anybody she wanted.  “You look stunning,” he smiled still in awe with the woman.  It suddenly occurred to him, he was standing there holding a box.  “Uh, I bought this for you.”  Tony lifted the box to reveal a wrist corsage.  “I never done anything fancy before and I saw this at the flower shop and thought it would look nice on you, but you don’t have to wear it if you don’t want to.  I wasn’t sure if you do that for things like this.”  He said nervously.  @ximenaortega​

Felix usually made an appearance at one of these things. He always showed up in something nice because his father wanted him too. Though his dad usually ended up hanging out in the back. Unfortunately for this year’s ball, his father was working so Felix had ended up asking his best friend Nathan to come with him. They would be drinking in the corner and maybe dancing to a few dances in the corner. But Felix was actually quite bad at dancing -- or so he made it seem -- and ended up wiggling to the beat while Nathan looked like a beautiful butterfly which was, of course, very Nathan-esque. The man walsys showed up his best friend Felix. But Felix was strangely okay with it. The two of them walked inside and Felix huffed, “Come on -- I know you’re not gonna drink but I want too so I’m going to get something so I don’t have to deal with looking like a fool when you make me dance.” He chuckled at himself. He’d never judged Nathan for not wanting to drink. He knew why, but Felix wasn’t about to be sober if he didn’t have too. 

Mingyu was actually having a really good time. He’d never been to this thing before by himself. His parents always dragged him and he was sure he would see them here, but he could ignore them... maybe. No, he couldn’t. Mingyu saw them together on the other side of the ball and he wanted nothing to do with them as he was sure they wanted nothing to do with him. Jack had left to dance with someone else which was fine with Mingyu because he needed to take a break. He hadn’t really had this much fun with another person as he had tonight and although he planned to go home early, he wanted to enjoy the rest of the night. As the artist walked through the crowd, he had his eyes on the refreshments when, his eyes focused on one thing and one thing only, he ran right into someone and gasped, putting a hand on their shoulder. “I am so sorry for running into you! I-” He cut off and felt his cheeks growing red as he realized it was the very man who’d kissed him the other day and cleared his throat and gave Tobias an awkward smile.
