He was glad to have the latter plop down beside him. This guy kinda reminded the bluenette of a little puppy. He smiled softly, leaning a bit openly just in case he wanted to see what was on the screen. But his laugh spread his smile open, boisterous and confident to not cover his mouth. "Seriously?" That was definitely not what he expected to hear. "So you do play games!" He teased, shifting through the start options without paying much attention. He already knew the start screen by heart.
Eyes flicked down to February's shoes to confirm his admittance. "That's cool... flash mobs, though? Isn't that where people meet up and dance and stuff?" He knew what it was, but Bailey wanted to keep the conversation going. "Yeah, I do. Pretty obvious, huh?" He chuckled with a sense of defeat. Though February would have to ask if he wanted to know much else about Bailey, despite the gamer being somewhat of an open book when it came to his interests.

The screen flashed different colours as the start screen loaded up, Bailey clicking through to his save. "Seriously." He confirmed "I spent so much money playing it. B-but-" When February detected the teasing note in Bailey's tone was when he began to fluster "I haven't played it in a while. I dunno." Mentioning his brother's xbox console at his parents' house wouldn't do to help his argument. Not like he played it or anything- well, sometimes, but that didn't count, and if it did, well, too bad.
Hearing Bailey's first thoughts of what a flash mob was made February choke back laughter. The exact thing he thought, at first. Until he found that they didn't really exist, at least casually. He still harbored the question if what he saw was part of a movie ad or for just regular advertising. He couldn't remember- it was too long ago. "No..I mean- I don't know of any who do that- or else I'd join but- it's protesting but not. We get together for some issue and make a scene. Pillow fights, setting up ping-pong tables in a park...crazy stuff. Changes a lot. If enough people want t'protest, we do it. That sorta thing."
"I've seen one like that- dance, I mean. Made me want to do what I do now, like crazy." They were all young and beautiful and sparkling with confidence.
The conversation died down after that, and February considered actually asking if the man had done his own hair. He didn't really know what the other guy liked besides video games. And computers, he supposed. "Whoever dyed your hair, introduce me. And um...what else? I mean-" He gestured vaguely, trying to ask but not ask "...you know. Whatever...else. You like." A round of applause for the man who just made a fool of himself, please?

A wise finger lowered the volume on the device until it was virtually muted. Eyes flicked up at the brunette, patiently listening to his explanation and thinking he'd enjoy to play such a game with February sometime. After that, little karts raced across the screen to distract Bailey while the match was in progress. "That sounds pretty cool. I remember some church kids flocking houses back home--" There was more to the story, but the Junior frowned and stopped talking semi-abruptly.
Videos games were his prime interest, computers kind of melting into that somehow. Bailey didn't really know when he got caught up in the scheme, but he never really got himself out when messing up his major. In some sick way, he didn't care. "I could..." He chirped, finishing in 3rd place. "But I don't remember her name. Sometimes I get called in to be a stand-in, so the hair dresser at the shoot had done it. If February had made a fool of himself, Bailey didn't catch it.
Actually, he felt rude playing the game. He'd started it up on impulse, and seemed to shut it off the same way. Impulsively. Head turned to focus on the tiny dancer, offering up a sincere smile. "I think I could sneak you onto the shoot if I ever get called back." His hand ran through his hair, brushing up the blew to show his natural black. "I don't really keep up with it, but I'll style it if I'm in the mood." The tendrils fell from his palm, slipping down like stiff silk from the styling gel.
"What about you?" He grinned, leaning over to tossle around February's own head of hair. Teasing the latter with the question of who does that messy mane of cluttered locks.

I was thinking you were a computer programmer, not a model." Bailey? A model? Looking a bit closer, he could see why. Kinda. Viably a good model- all it really took was looks, right? Nice face, nice hair, nice attitude, nice body. Yeah, it wasn't a stretch, unlike what he first thought about the man and his computers. While they were talking, Bailey somehow managed to finish his game, and not be dead last. Almost as soon as the race was finished though, it was turned off, leaving the two encased in the silence of the dance room.
So the man was a natural black, huh? The dye was good to get through that and still be vibrant and eye-catching. Some of the other students in the art department would walk in with dulled shades, when obviously meant to be a strong and full color. Rumor had it that one desperate kid from cosmotology used a strong bleach product and lost half his (now stark white) hair. And then there was April. A story for another time, though. "I'd like that." He nodded, fingering his own dark hair. Messy and ridiculously layered, it had definitely been more than four months since it saw scissors. A good thing for the ponytail he held it in, a bad thing for his fringe and thusly, his eyes.
"Me?" February flinched as Bailey stuck his hand inside his hood to ruffle his hair. The hood fell off of his head, and strands of his hair stuck up- from both the hood and Bailey. "Some guy, I think, to trim. Near my apartment. It's all...layered, yeah, so I can't do it right." Not like he would if he could anyway. But he wasn't picky about what he chose, so the nearest salon it was. And he wasn't gonna let the cosmo students touch it. He's seen what they could do. "I wanna grow this out." He pulled his ponytail from behind over his shoulder, twisting it around his fingers "Maybe dye it or something, yanno?"

"I was helping out a friend and got sucked in to it..." He admitted with a defeated chuckle. Even though he was happy to help when it fed his egotism such a sweet nectar, to be told he was handsome and attend photoshoots with more attractive people. "Every now and then I get a call to stand in or something, but nothing too glamorous..." The young man smirked at this statement as if he were being modest. It was done by a professional, took a day and another to get it to work perfectly, but the end result was beautiful, vibrant blue so it was all worth it.
To be honest, the bluenette was taken back when the ponytail was brought around. How did he not notice that creature hiding behind February before? He resisted laughing, because really it was actually kinda cute when he accepted the tail beneath his curious fingers. Bailey looked up at the latter with a pleasant smile, "Oh, neat. Like just the tail or all of it?" He sat back and waited for February to answer before quickly chiming up with the probing inquery, "And how does your girlfriend feel about that?" Because it's good to know these sort of things. Even if, surprise, this guy had a girlfriend--which Bailey seriously doubted--a question like this might tell him about the status of their relationship.
And if it would be easier to maybe, oh he wasn't sure, steal February away~

February shrugged. Whatever the case, it still meant the other man's visage was probably floating around in one ad or another, somewhere. A visage that was all dolled up, suave and classy as all the models were by default. The dye job was probably for a shoot, too. Still nice, though. Bailey was nice in general, really nice.
"The tail." February replied, "I don't...like the thought of dyeing it all. Sister dyed her ends a few colors, it's nice." He of course, didn't mention that it took six months for him to get used to it. Two colors! And it managed to go through properly, which might have been more surprising than the actual fact she dyed it all by herself. "So I might do something similar." Maybe dye the tip white or something. It was just a thought floating around for now, and whether he acted on it or not would depend on him actually finding a means to doing it. "Besides, dark colors suit me." Said the man wearing a white hoodie.
"My- my, ah- I don't- I don't...have one. Just me, one apartment." He wasn't sure if he was coming out as startled or embarrassed, and settled for a mixture of both. "I just...I just don't. That's all." He added, muttering defensively. "And why would it matter! I'd dye it if she didn't like..like it." Anything involving February's outward appearance was quite the important subject matter to him, so if he did decide to do something, it'd be good, or at least something he liked. He would wholeheartedly reject it otherwise. Appearances matter, after all. Pausing for a few moments, February pursed his lips and threw the same query (or about the same) at Bailey.
"Do you?"

Bailey was already aware of the fact he was impressive, his life and appearance. It's not like they just get anyone to come in and model men's underwear. The only awkward part was the photographer wanting to stay with a particular style, sot they insisted he also wear a fake ring on his tongue and nipples. He was more than happy to play the part of a gritty punk sporting a pair of fitted underwear. And even though he felt it was unnecessary, Bailey later found they enhanced his groin to some ridiculously handsome size.
Could he really complain? At least it was flatting, he guessed.
This quiet brunette was a person that's just naturally funny, or rather he did funny things. To say dark colors suit him, but wears a white hoodie? "You could stain the tips, so it keeps the color, and it'd still be dark since it's not actually dying it..." Bailey used to do that a lot when he was younger, but with black hair it never really worked for him. He let the hair slip across his fingers as he brought his hand down.
Poor February, though. Bailey honestly couldn't help laughing when the question got such a rise, which was quite unexpectedly. Even though this guy seemed a bit shut into a shell, every now and then he surprised Bailey with such bold responses. He really liked that about him so far, so much so he dared to lean closer to him. A comfortable distance, but noticeably leaning in. "No." The simple answer he wanted to be incredibly clear to February. "I'm not dating anyone at the moment."
Although his mismtached hues were locked on the latter, they seemed to wink after what he'd said. Inviting him in to the sort of place a handful of others had regrettably ventured with the bluenette. Had he leaned closer? "Though..." Bailey murmured, "I'd like to..."

He fingered his ends a bit more- he did really want to do something with them. Their hands touched, but this wasn't some silly romance movie.
February bristled at the sound of Bailey's laugh, flustering and protesting ("What! What is it?") all the while. What part of it was funny? Jeez, you don't just ask someone a question like that. Just as February was about to lob another protest at him, the laughter abruptly stopped, and it was quiet. And Bailey spoke quietly, forcing February to look straight into his eyes and hardly having to move a muscle to do so. They were sitting close enough already, but now they were closer- no, their faces were closer, that was it. Just a little bit, as Bailey answered his question. No, he wasn't dating anyone. No one at all. The man was fucking single. And February was keeping face, not even blushing, not at all. But his throat constricted and his chest tightened, and he breathed just a little faster, especially when Bailey leaned- he did lean a little, right?- just a tad more in and winked. Said that he'd like to date someone. February swallowed roughly, nervously. It felt like there was a lump in his throat.
"Any..idea who?"
Oh gods above, he'd be lying through his teeth if he said he didn't lean just a tad bit more in. He had just met him today, for gods' sake. And he could hardly breathe. Maybe Bailey could help him with that. He wouldn't mind. Mouth to mouth and all that, with that gorgeous man.

Bailey felt the electric tension splicing through the atmosphere between them. They were magnets of the same end, and the bluenette the force driving them together despite the protest of natural physical laws. He shouldn't touch February, he couldn't. It was impossible--that is, impossible for anyone not absolutely determined to bring them together. After all, people were like small magnets. All they needed to bend to his opposing attraction was just a little force.
A smirk wrinkled Bailey's cheek. He could feel the quick breathes of his little dancer hot against his lips, yet just as soon as he was close enough to seal the enormous pressure between them hands pushed off February's shoulders. The bluenette pushed up onto his feet, steps taken backward until he regained balance. "After I check my schedule, I think I'll shoot him a text... see if he's free next week."
Of course, Bailey wasn't going to just let this guy have it. He wanted him to want it so bad it would break every law of science, that the polarity between them would shatter and they'd just swing together, melt into each other until they were the same object occupying the same space. It was a little crazy, but whoever this invisible boy was that he'd met Bailey wanted to change him.
"I have to go, though. I'll call you, ok?" He reached down, offering a hand to help February off the ground.

The mood shattered into pieces as Bailey pushed off his shoulders in order to stand up. Said that he'd text whoever it was to see if he'd be free next week. At once did February think about his phone in his bag. Maybe? Maybe. He had a chance, just as much as any other person Bailey knew. Wow, though...wow. As soon as the mood broke, February finally remembered how to breathe normally, and everything- heart rate, blood pressure- returned back to normal. He might as well have been in a state of lovesickness during those few moments.
A hand was offered to pull February up, and he accepted it, being swiftly pulled to his feet. The guy had to go now? Well...okay. He had things to do as well. Lots of things.
"Ah, yeah. I'll keep my phone nearby. Nice having you." February nodded, clasping his hands behind his back before walking back to his bag and letting the other leave. He had syllabuses to check, made sure he'd practiced his routines today and left enough time to do whatever assignments his other teachers had given him. He'd probably go home soon enough and just lie on his bed and reflect about what the fuck had just happened to him today. Just...what was all of that. For now, though, he'd settle on making a new playlist for his current routine songs and separate that from his general dance playlist. For now.
