[ The whole 'if it isn't too bad' thing does threaten to kill the impact of what Gorgug is saying here, like he can't even commit to this just because of one bad-tasting drink--
But the kiss saves it. It may just be a quick peck, but something about it seems like it's shutting Fabian up before he's even getting started. Thankfully for Gorgug. ]
Alright, I'll start drinking it on three.
[ As if this drink is so intimidating that it needs a countdown.. ]
But you better get ready to kiss me as soon as possible in case I need it, alright? [ See that Look he's giving you, Gorgug.
Can you really say no to that? Maybe you just have to kiss him either way, king. ]
[ Wow, this is so much pressure on one half-orc! But Fabian's saying he's got to get ready, so Gorgug moves aside his bag a little, as if it could possibly be in the way; pretends to adjust himself, mainly because he already knows he's in a good kissing position from already giving Fabain that peck on the lips.
But then he's nodding eagerly, so serious in his job! ]
I'm ready. On three.
[ He's 80% sure to kiss Fabian on three! Or four, more likely. He feels like his position as Fabian's boyfriend depends on it! ]
[ And Fabian is already lifting the bottle with the strangely colored drink to his lips. It's clear that he actually is drinking from it, rather than just faking it in order to try and get a free kiss out of his boyfriend.
.. if not just because it becomes clear really, really obvious that Fabian does not like the taste of this drink. He lowers the bottle, but with the way his cheeks are still bulging out, it seems that he doesn't even dare to swallow the sip of it that he's got in his mouth right now.. As if just the taste in his mouth is already bad enough..
A-And he's looking more like he has to throw up with each passing moment.. G-Gorgug! Gorgug, do something! This is your boyfriendly duty! ]
The problem is: his boyfriend-ly duty to kiss Fabian if he didn't like his drink. And Fabian is making a face that indicates just that. And it's not that Gorgug didn't have the intention to kiss Fabian and to keep his word! It's just-- it's just--
His mouth looks so bloated. How is he supposed to do anything when Fabian isn't even swallowing the drink!? He stares at the scene, his hands up but doing nothing, brain trying to calculate the best move to make in mere seconds. The answer is to--
take his hands and slap the sides of Fabian's cheeks to burst the pimple that is his mouth, while simultaneously trying to move his head--and therefore his popped pimple mouth aim!--in a direction away from Gorgug and his bag. Sure, he might get a wet arm from doing this since it's probably in the way, but--!
He needs that mouth empty, bro! He needs you to empty your mouth so you can get your kisses in!! ]
But even he can't resist a force like this. Especially when he's definitely going to lose from Gorgug in a strength check, and even more so when he's at a disadvantage due to currently having something in his mouth that feels like it does not belong there. It feels like he is holding nuclear waste. In his mouth.
And before he even has the time to decide on what to do with it - swallow it and trap himself with it even further or try to find some gracious way to spit it out - Gorgug is deciding for him. Fabian's head turns like a rag doll's, and a moment later he's absolutely spitting that drink out all over the floor. And the mirror in that direction. And Gorgug's arm, just a little bit.
Fabian seems completely dumbstruck by this for about one moment, but then he instead starts to quickly look like he's freaking out instead, starting with a-- ]
Dude!
[ He's turning towards Gorgug.. There's still some of that energy drink on his lips and cheeks because of how it was ejected.. ]
[ The noise is gross as the drink spurts out of Fabian like a broken pipe, and Gorgug grimaces as much for that as he does watching the blue liquid spit out everywhere. Grosssss, who's going to clean that up? Can they get a companion bot to clean it up??
No time to think about that now, even though Gorgug thinks to look away at the result of his quick thinking splattered across the floor. There's a sharp and loud Dude! sounding in his ears, and he looks back at Fabian, initially confused than even a trace of shame on his face.
And it's still confused, once Fabian gets to speak. ]
You didn't swallow! What was I supposed to do? You wanted me to kiss you! You were gonna get it in my mouth!
[ Behold, conversations that no one should overhear without context. ]
[ Maybe he wanted to get it into your mouth, Gorgug! Maybe that was the revenge for getting him to put this stuff into his mouth in the first place, especially when Fabian Aramais Seacaster is only used to eating the finest of things!
(.. well, the finest of things and a whole lot of fried rice that has been stored in a garage for pretty much an entire year, but we don't talk about that--)
Still, it's not like it's totally ruined now. No, the more Fabian listens to Gorgug, the more he realizes his revenge can still be ongoing.
Mostly in the form of Fabian being the first to cover the slight gap between the two of them. His hands latch onto Gorgug's shirt, mostly to try and keep him from pulling away once he realizes that maybe the kiss isn't just good. Because sure, it's a real kiss, and Fabian really is kissing Gorgug. But with the way that liquid was ejected from his mouth, Gorgug will find its awful taste all over Fabian's lips. And over Fabian's tongue, considering that thing is currently attempting to find its way into Gorgug's mouth to try and get the awful taste into his boyfriend's mouth as well.
Hey, at least it's not an infection they're passing around this time. ]
[ Have you ever had the most disgusting kiss in your life.
Unfortunately for Gorgug, he doesn't even realise what Fabian is trying to do to him. When he grabs onto his clothes, pulls them both closer together and crushes their mouths, he's too confused to think about it until lips are touching his, and-- no, it's the taste. It's the gross flavour that's sticky on Fabian's mouth and on his skin, and Gorgug tries to whine a no while there's a tongue trying to find entry, which just takes this further.
It's not hot. It's disgusting, the artificial flavouring that spreads inside his mouth for a kiss that should be pleasant, but isn't. He doesn't immediately push Fabian back out of a freezing deer response, but his hands finally come to grab at the sides around Fabian's neck, and he starts pushing his back, even if Fabian's working to keep them in.
But he can yank his head aside, turn his face so it's no longer in range for Fabian's cruelty!! ]
You suck! You fucking suck!!
[ It is the utmost whining coming out of Gorgug, while his fingers clench tighter against the fabric of Fabian's own (skin tight) shirt, his emotions wound up enough where he's both revolted, but also? There's a part of him that wants revenge. That doesn't want to let Fabian go, but his brain is conflicted and his critical thinking skills are still in psyduck mode.
So he's probably just going to be as big a baby as Fabian is, really. ]
You did this to us, Gorgug! You did this! You brought this here!
[ There's so much big baby energy going on around here. Fabian even looks like he's attempting to reach Gorgug's mouth again for a few moments, but even though Fabian is pretty flexible, there's no way he's going to win from Gorgug's strength. If Gorgug is holding him in the exact position where Fabian can't reach his face, then there's no way he's going to reach it.
So after a few moments of attempting it.. He does give up, moving back a little. Not a whole lot, since Gorgug is still holding onto him, but still far enough that it doesn't seem like he's trying to force more gross energy drink mouth on Gorgug. ]
Gods, that is absolutely the worst thing I have tasted in my entire life. [ And he has attempted to eat glass.
[ Gorgug succeeds (somewhat) in avoiding more of the drink, the taste, the onslaught that Fabian was sending his way. He's still grabbing onto Fabian's shirt, but his fingers start to ease onto their grip as the spike in Gorgug's emotions settle. Not without some thoughts swirling in his head willing to keep him high on that impulsive drive (I know another taste that'll get it out of your mouth), but he's managing to not let that get in the way.
Because he's not feeling so bold to go in the direction some part of his brain things he should. Has been thinking that's where Fabian wanted to go in the first place.
... he's still going to bring up a leg bent at the knee, resting his arm over it, as if creating a barricade between himself and Fabian. ]
That didn't mean you had to shove it down my throat. I was trying to be nice. You could've done anything else.
[ Is he pouting? A little. But more in that 'I can't believe my new boyfriend tried to do this to me?' way. ]
I would've kissed you. I was going to kiss you, you know.
[ Fabian, in the meantime, is very busy wiping his mouth with the back of his hand. To get the taste of the shitty drink off there, of course. It's not the taste of Gorgug's lips he minds - it's just that! Ugh, he bets he's going to be tasting it all day now, it's so pervasive..
Guess there's two boyfriends pouting now. Each for their own reasons. Each blaming each other.
.. though Fabian does say, after a second: ]
You could kiss me now, you know.
[ B-Baka!!
He's not even looking at Gorgug as he's saying it either. ]
[ Fabian is saying what he could be doing, and that is true. Except Gorgug's glancing at Fabian, the betrayal still fresh on his mouth and mind, and can he risk it? Does he dare? Even if there's no glint in his boyfriend's eye--he could be tricking Gorgug! He could be trying to get him to lower his guard!
... ]
...you're not gonna try anything?
[ Does he have more of that drink in his mouth? No.
...
...does that mean Gorgug believes that it's safe? Also no!!! ]
Really, Fabian is contemplating if he can just cut the chase and lean in to kiss Gorgug first - but considering the protests Gorgug is throwing over here, he kind of feels like that will actually get him even further away from the goal of kissing his boyfriend.
S-So he's.. he's patient! He's trying so damn hard to be patient! ]
...distrust. An uncertainty, looking at Fabian, the betrayal fresh on his memory, and also the spurting blue coming out from Fabian's mouth from before that (not a betrayal, a smart and sensible decision by Gorgug!!). No longer is sucking dicks on the mind as Gorgug tentatively bends his knee so he can start to lean on, going in the slowest manner for doing so. Moving towards Fabian, except, when he does...
[ Fabian looks like he is about one to two seconds away from screaming his lungs out. Especially when he knows whose fault it is that he smells like that drink! Mister Thistlespring over here with his "oh no, just taste it, what's the worst thing that could happen--"
Your boyfriend not wanting to kiss you! That is the worst thing that could happen! ]
Then just kiss me so I smell like you instead! [ He definitely sounds worked up. Fabian's hands even reach out to latch onto Gorgug's hoodie to pull him a little closer.
Kiss him, dude!!! KISS HIM!!! This is the world's most aggressive flirting as long as you don't count pretty much anything Zelda did! ]
[ Listen to the way a dog sighs, and you'll know the exact way Gorgug does after one last pause, before finally resigning to this fate of his. He leans in the rest of the way and gives Fabian the kiss he wants, settling it on his lips (ugh, he's pretty sure he can taste the spit drink on those lips!!!), and kinda not completely interested in deepening the kiss--unless Fabian pulls him in that way.
Then fiiine, fiiiine. They can have a proper make out, even if it's the most reluctant, unsexy kind of kissing session already ruined before it begins. He's not sure if this is working to make Fabian smell like him more than it's just making Gorgug hyper aware of every flavour he thinks he's getting a taste of, and he's sure that it's all bad.
Who knew kissing could taste so bad?? This is surely Fabian's fault. ]
[ For what it's worth, it does seem like he's longing to deepen the kiss. Despite his huffy attitude and all, Fabian seems to be giving this kiss all he's got. He's going for the full make out, apparently. Maybe he's hoping he can forget this terrible experience if he just gets that. Boyfriend-induced amnesia. Something like that.
But he isn't getting that. Especially when Fabian realizes so quickly that something is definitely up when he deepens the kiss and gets.. well, practically nothing from Gorgug. Just the bare minimum.
So Fabian just pulls back. Looking definitely not happy. Despite the fact that the liquid was already gone from his face, he wipes at said face with the back of his hand all over again.
It's not really to clean anything. It's to hide his embarrassment. And slight hurt. If there's anything that gets to Fabian Seacaster, it's feeling like he's being ignored or given the bare minimum. ]
You can just tell me if you want me to go, you know.
[ He is NOT on the verge of crying. His eyes are NOT looking a little watery. Absolutely not!! You're imagining it!! He's handling this in a mature and cool and manly way!! ]
[ The words don't come alone. Gorgug had his own pouting, un-enthused face going on from being overdramatic about the drink and everything surrounding it, but the moment that Fabian says what he does, it turns incredulous. Is this it? Now? So quickly? This possible relationship is already over, and just because of some drink (that he's being a baby over)?
There's something he should be able to say to this. Fabian's already probably got his own reply about him being a terrible boyfriend or a terrible kisser and he-- what? They only just started! This isn't how it goes! Fabian should be kicking him out of The Maximum! It's his dance studio! What's going on! ]
I-- I'll kiss you! I'll kiss you, okay!
[ He would be nervous about throwing himself back into a kiss, all things considered, but Fabian was begging for it a moment ago, wasn't he? Gorgug won't resist if Fabian pushes him off, but if there's anything to make him go go mode about this, it's the threat of being dumped. Both hands come to the sides of Fabian's face, and even his bent knee is lowered so he can scoot in closer to Fabian properly; giving him an extra height he doesn't need, but Gorgug's more than used to kissing people shorter than him. Slipping in tongue, being more receptive and attentive.
As if his life--or worse, his boyfriend status!--depends on it. ]
Did he mean what he just said as them breaking up? Absolutely not. Granted, maybe he should have known better, considering everything that went down between Gorgug and Zelda in sophomore year, but-- look, that's a long time ago now! And he's hurt, and of course he's going to be dramatic, and make threats to leave that might sound to other people like him threatening to break up.
But Fabian's mind definitely wasn't there. So even in all of his hurt might-maybe-cry glory, he actually looks surprised when Gorgug first speaks up to suggest that was Fabian's intent. Not that he has time to say anything about it, because a moment later Gorgug is already on him like a lion jumping its prey - if lions were to kiss prey rather than devour them, anyway.
And though he doesn't immediately reciprocate - he's too caught off guard, okay, he's frozen for a second, give him a moment - Fabian doesn't push Gorgug off him. He just lets the other kiss him, and then a few moments later Fabian even seems to join in, returning the kiss.
Though there's something more later. There's some sort of odd sound coming from Fabian in the middle of the kiss-- is he trying to say something? It's possible he might not be able to pull out of the kiss to do that properly while Gorgug is still so much on him and in the middle of the kiss.. ]
[ Gorgug isn't going to keep kissing a person who sounds like they have something to say. Granted, Gorgug can't tell what the sounds are initially--maybe they're moans, maybe Fabian's really getting into this; and by the time they start, Gorgug isn't being so intense about his need to kiss and prove himself to Fabian. He still is aiming on doing a good job, but if Fabian isn't pushing him off, that's a good thing, right? He's being a good boyfriend!
But those sounds are still-- happening, and when they continue, Gorgug does pull away. Cheeks a little darker, yet his eyes still the same as they had been before bringing Fabian into that kiss: searching, hoping, seeking approval. He's got a hand on the rim of Fabian's shirt, by his chest, and he looks so much like a puppy... ]
Is everything okay?
[ The kissing good? The kissing fine? Does he need to be doing something else? He's ready to please...!! ]
[ Under any other circumstances he might have felt real good about the sight in front of him, really. Isn't this everything Fabian wants? People being desperate to give him attention, to please him. To make him feel special. As much as his attraction to Gorgug started from a different realization entirely, Fabian still knows this is something he wants from other people, something that makes him feel good.
But in combination with what the other guy had said only a moment ago-- It doesn't feel so good. Fabian's eyes search the other's face for a second after Gorgug pulls away, and the desperate puppy look on there doesn't exactly make him feel great in the moment.
He lingers close to the other, but something in Fabian's gaze shifts, becomes more worried. It's a softer emotion than his usual loud ones - especially all the loud ones from a few moments ago. ]
Did you really think I wanted to break up just now? [ Even his tone of voice seems to match - less over the top. More genuinely concerned. ]
[ If anything, he was suspecting Fabian to say he wasn't in the mood anymore, that Gorgug ruined it, and then Gorgug would be left feeling bad from where he started. But instead he's met with--not the opposite, but the opposite in Gorgug's expectations, probably. A question that he isn't sure how to answer for a second, his gaze ducking away. ]
I-- maybe. [ There's a questioning tone that's kinda there, kinda too unsure if to be there. ] We're new enough into this, and I guess you could still-- change your mind? I wouldn't-- I mean, I wouldn't stop you...
[ His gaze hasn't turned back onto Fabian, sheepish, as Gorgug isn't sure if he should be so honest. Will Fabian be disappointed in him now? His lack of confidence, even though... Fabian can be a pretty picky guy. Who isn't to say he wouldn't dump Gorgug in a day? ]
Not that he can't see where Gorgug is coming from - especially when he doesn't radiate the kind of confidence about himself that Fabian shows off on the daily - but Fabian definitely didn't take any of this into account when he started getting huffy. He didn't imagine for even a moment that Gorgug could possibly feel this way!
So when the other says that, Fabian moves his hands onto Gorgug's face - something that's easy enough to do in their very close proximity - to turn the other's face back in his direction. He can't exactly turn the other's gaze that way, but he hopes the message is clear. That he wants Gorgug to look at him.
Because Fabian is giving him a very determined one-eyed gaze in return. ]
There is absolutely no way I am going to dump you over one shitty drink. [ He says it in such a dramatically determined way too. Like this is his way of trying to get this through Gorgug's head as much as possible. ] Do you really think I would be dating you if I thought so little of you? I chose you above all other people! Deliberately! You have to remember that!
[ The why is what Gorgug still can't get his head around.
He know he has a history of being down on himself, but it's not a negative view of himself that makes him question Fabian's interest in him. It's complicated, not that he isn't happy to give this a go, but-- maybe his expectations after dating Zelda have made him more grounded about romantic relationships. How easily they can drift, break apart.
He's not being a downer. Even with that small curiosity that might be shaped similar to doubt, Gorgug takes Fabian's words as close to heart. His head turned when Fabian moved it, and even after, he drops his gaze only for a second.
And in the second after, he gives Fabian a kiss on the lips. Soft, appreciative. ]
I do-- I will. [ Whichever one sounds... right... ] I wouldn't dump you over a shitty drink either. And-- I still think you look good. After spitting it out.
[ Look.
He remembered their discussion about compliments. It's a compliment, right? ]
[ Fabian stares at Gorgug after the other pulls away. The kiss seems to have taken away the huffiness in his expression, leaving behind something a little more blank - though that changes quickly, Fabian actually starting to smile a little when Gorgug says that last part.
He's definitely thinking the same thing here, after all. That Gorgug remembered the whole compliments thing, and like he's trying to use them here to make things better. Because he knows they make Fabian feel better.
At first he doesn't say anything. He just gets up from where he's sitting, moving over to where he dumped his bag when getting into the dance studio, and rummaging around in it for something. When he pulls something out, he returns back to Gorgug, dropping back down to sit next to the other again and holding it out to him.
It's a towel. Extra fluffy too, because Fabian's skin clearly can't endure anything that isn't fancy. ]
Here. If you want to get the drink off.
[ Most of it did end up all over the mirrored walls and floors of the dance studio, but they were both in the splash zone too..
And just like how Gorgug remembering the compliments is his way of trying to make it better, this is Fabian's own way of doing so. ]

He's not sure if this is working to make Fabian smell like him more than it's just making Gorgug hyper aware of every flavour he thinks he's getting a taste of, and he's sure that it's all bad.
Who knew kissing could taste so bad?? This is surely Fabian's fault. ]
no subject
But he isn't getting that. Especially when Fabian realizes so quickly that something is definitely up when he deepens the kiss and gets.. well, practically nothing from Gorgug. Just the bare minimum.
So Fabian just pulls back. Looking definitely not happy. Despite the fact that the liquid was already gone from his face, he wipes at said face with the back of his hand all over again.
It's not really to clean anything. It's to hide his embarrassment. And slight hurt. If there's anything that gets to Fabian Seacaster, it's feeling like he's being ignored or given the bare minimum. ]
You can just tell me if you want me to go, you know.
[ He is NOT on the verge of crying. His eyes are NOT looking a little watery. Absolutely not!! You're imagining it!! He's handling this in a mature and cool and manly way!! ]
no subject
[ The words don't come alone. Gorgug had his own pouting, un-enthused face going on from being overdramatic about the drink and everything surrounding it, but the moment that Fabian says what he does, it turns incredulous. Is this it? Now? So quickly? This possible relationship is already over, and just because of some drink (that he's being a baby over)?
There's something he should be able to say to this. Fabian's already probably got his own reply about him being a terrible boyfriend or a terrible kisser and he-- what? They only just started! This isn't how it goes! Fabian should be kicking him out of The Maximum! It's his dance studio! What's going on! ]
I-- I'll kiss you! I'll kiss you, okay!
[ He would be nervous about throwing himself back into a kiss, all things considered, but Fabian was begging for it a moment ago, wasn't he? Gorgug won't resist if Fabian pushes him off, but if there's anything to make him go go mode about this, it's the threat of being dumped. Both hands come to the sides of Fabian's face, and even his bent knee is lowered so he can scoot in closer to Fabian properly; giving him an extra height he doesn't need, but Gorgug's more than used to kissing people shorter than him. Slipping in tongue, being more receptive and attentive.
As if his life--or worse, his boyfriend status!--depends on it. ]
no subject
Did he mean what he just said as them breaking up? Absolutely not. Granted, maybe he should have known better, considering everything that went down between Gorgug and Zelda in sophomore year, but-- look, that's a long time ago now! And he's hurt, and of course he's going to be dramatic, and make threats to leave that might sound to other people like him threatening to break up.
But Fabian's mind definitely wasn't there. So even in all of his hurt might-maybe-cry glory, he actually looks surprised when Gorgug first speaks up to suggest that was Fabian's intent. Not that he has time to say anything about it, because a moment later Gorgug is already on him like a lion jumping its prey - if lions were to kiss prey rather than devour them, anyway.
And though he doesn't immediately reciprocate - he's too caught off guard, okay, he's frozen for a second, give him a moment - Fabian doesn't push Gorgug off him. He just lets the other kiss him, and then a few moments later Fabian even seems to join in, returning the kiss.
Though there's something more later. There's some sort of odd sound coming from Fabian in the middle of the kiss-- is he trying to say something? It's possible he might not be able to pull out of the kiss to do that properly while Gorgug is still so much on him and in the middle of the kiss.. ]
no subject
But those sounds are still-- happening, and when they continue, Gorgug does pull away. Cheeks a little darker, yet his eyes still the same as they had been before bringing Fabian into that kiss: searching, hoping, seeking approval. He's got a hand on the rim of Fabian's shirt, by his chest, and he looks so much like a puppy... ]
Is everything okay?
[ The kissing good? The kissing fine? Does he need to be doing something else? He's ready to please...!! ]
no subject
But in combination with what the other guy had said only a moment ago-- It doesn't feel so good. Fabian's eyes search the other's face for a second after Gorgug pulls away, and the desperate puppy look on there doesn't exactly make him feel great in the moment.
He lingers close to the other, but something in Fabian's gaze shifts, becomes more worried. It's a softer emotion than his usual loud ones - especially all the loud ones from a few moments ago. ]
Did you really think I wanted to break up just now? [ Even his tone of voice seems to match - less over the top. More genuinely concerned. ]
no subject
I-- maybe. [ There's a questioning tone that's kinda there, kinda too unsure if to be there. ] We're new enough into this, and I guess you could still-- change your mind? I wouldn't-- I mean, I wouldn't stop you...
[ His gaze hasn't turned back onto Fabian, sheepish, as Gorgug isn't sure if he should be so honest. Will Fabian be disappointed in him now? His lack of confidence, even though... Fabian can be a pretty picky guy. Who isn't to say he wouldn't dump Gorgug in a day? ]
no subject
Not that he can't see where Gorgug is coming from - especially when he doesn't radiate the kind of confidence about himself that Fabian shows off on the daily - but Fabian definitely didn't take any of this into account when he started getting huffy. He didn't imagine for even a moment that Gorgug could possibly feel this way!
So when the other says that, Fabian moves his hands onto Gorgug's face - something that's easy enough to do in their very close proximity - to turn the other's face back in his direction. He can't exactly turn the other's gaze that way, but he hopes the message is clear. That he wants Gorgug to look at him.
Because Fabian is giving him a very determined one-eyed gaze in return. ]
There is absolutely no way I am going to dump you over one shitty drink. [ He says it in such a dramatically determined way too. Like this is his way of trying to get this through Gorgug's head as much as possible. ] Do you really think I would be dating you if I thought so little of you? I chose you above all other people! Deliberately! You have to remember that!
no subject
He know he has a history of being down on himself, but it's not a negative view of himself that makes him question Fabian's interest in him. It's complicated, not that he isn't happy to give this a go, but-- maybe his expectations after dating Zelda have made him more grounded about romantic relationships. How easily they can drift, break apart.
He's not being a downer. Even with that small curiosity that might be shaped similar to doubt, Gorgug takes Fabian's words as close to heart. His head turned when Fabian moved it, and even after, he drops his gaze only for a second.
And in the second after, he gives Fabian a kiss on the lips. Soft, appreciative. ]
I do-- I will. [ Whichever one sounds... right... ] I wouldn't dump you over a shitty drink either. And-- I still think you look good. After spitting it out.
[ Look.
He remembered their discussion about compliments. It's a compliment, right? ]
no subject
He's definitely thinking the same thing here, after all. That Gorgug remembered the whole compliments thing, and like he's trying to use them here to make things better. Because he knows they make Fabian feel better.
At first he doesn't say anything. He just gets up from where he's sitting, moving over to where he dumped his bag when getting into the dance studio, and rummaging around in it for something. When he pulls something out, he returns back to Gorgug, dropping back down to sit next to the other again and holding it out to him.
It's a towel. Extra fluffy too, because Fabian's skin clearly can't endure anything that isn't fancy. ]
Here. If you want to get the drink off.
[ Most of it did end up all over the mirrored walls and floors of the dance studio, but they were both in the splash zone too..
And just like how Gorgug remembering the compliments is his way of trying to make it better, this is Fabian's own way of doing so. ]
