"Hey! Handsome. I'm a handsome son of a gun." Alex gave the doctor an odd sort of look. "Uh, hey, weren't you with Ione earlier? With with? Or did I get the wrong impression?"

"Alex, you probably won't fully understand the college experience and I feel sad for that; but, dude, you sound like you're still in high school. I danced with Ione because I need to apologize for something. Little things, man. Little things the women eat up like candy. She's, uh, too young for me? Not in a bad way, though. I, uh, I can tell I'm not her type. Jesus, Alex, you're making this more difficult than it has to be!" Dr. Victor tossed his hands up in the air, pushing himself back off to rock slowly, the sound of metal on concrete scraping softly. "Look, man, she's all yours. No hard feelings. Got my eye on someone else; we're cool." The doctor's face turned a deep red, and he folded his arms over his chest. A rather large sigh popped out over his lips. and he mumbled something about 'time kay.' He followed the phrase with a voracious giggle fit.

"I've changed a lot since high school," Alex said. "Anyway, I can't be too careful about stuff like this. I've lost about six friends over women. One was a pretty good friend, too. I knew him since kindergarten. We always teamed up during summer camp. Then, I took a girl he liked out for ice cream. Just one date, and the whole friendship's over. Pretty sure he was the guy who started those stupid rumors about me. Yeeah." He nodded sagely, and then grinned. "So, who is it? Bebe? She's something else. Too smart for me, but you're high brow."

The giggle fit continued, but the doctor squeezed out a few more phrases in between gasps. "Hey! No... no freakin way, man. I'm not into anyone you'd think... think of." Dr. Victor rocked back against the floor, all four legs finally at rest. "Alex, it took an apocalypse, but dude, I like-" The laughter started again and he turned bright red from lack of oxygen. He squinted his eyes, waving his hands in the universal symbol of 'no way-stop' one in front of the other. "I'm sure I know- I'm sure I'm sure, man! It's just, hard to say without lau-" The doctor couldn't seem to stop his pleasure-fit.

How much did Dr. Victor drink? Oh, boy. And he accused Alex of being immature. Yeesh, Alex learned how to handle his wine in Jr. High. "If it's zombies you're after, I don't want to know any more," he said, with a laugh.

If the doctor was in the throws of laughter, before, the zombie comment certainly shot him out of it. "Ugh, Alex. That is more Dr. Melange's speed, bro. Nah, man... That's... Ugh." He began to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes. "Alex, I'm a man's man, bro." The grin this time seemed more like embarrassment instead of a comic response. His face was no less red. Attempting to hide in his cup, the doctor was dismayed to find it empty. It still didn't stop him from trying to lap up the straggling drops.

"Yeah," Alex said. "Me too." Then, in light of their conversation, he realized that "man's man" probably meant something altogether different from "enjoys the friendly, entirely platonic company of fellow men." "OOOOOH. I mean, no, no, not me too! NUH. Not that there’s anything wroooong ... but why? How does that even ... you know what? None of my business. Nuuuh uh. You ... go for it." At this point, it was physically impossible for Alex to blush more than he was currently blushing. But he'd never met a man's man before. Or had he? Shit, he didn't know anymore! "I'm sorry about the Pope and all that," Alex muttered.

"Alex, Jesus, man. It's not like THAT. I really don't know what it is supposed to be like, but, shit. SHEEEYUT! Alex, it's not scientifically proven, just like whatever the fuck is out there, bro. Don't EVEN worry about trying to figure it out." He began shaking his empty glass over his mouth. "Dude, seriously, the Pope is fine. Everyone is entitled to whatever they think." The doctor had a hard time trying to keep the heat out of his voice. "Look, go grab us some wine so we aren't just standing around with our d- standing around out here, m'kay? No hard feelings, man." Dr. Victor wondered exactly how 'secret' his 'secret' would be in the hands of the young man. Then, he just wanted alcohol.

"Oh. Science is useless. It can't explain the important stuff. And, yeah, it sure as heck can't explain (Alex did a so-so approximation of the Doctor's voice) the primordial pseudo-spirit from the great nexus beyond before recorded time called Ab-dur." He glanced at Micah, then back to the doctor. "I'll bring you something good, but no more for me 'till later. Then, you guys gotta dance with me. Come on. It's the most fun thing in the world." Alex stood. "Red or white wine, Doctor?"

"Red, and dark. And I can dance, but the way you were leading the girls around the floor... you'd better remember how to follow my lead, Alex. Just remember, 'Ginger Rogers did everything Fred Astaire did, only backwards, and in heels.' You get me wine and I'll show you how real men swing. WAIT! I mean... swing hop dance jive turkey." The doctor pulled out the only loaded weapon he had, the finger gun.

When he made the offer, Alex had been thinking of no-contact dance, but the doctor's plan might be fun. He wanted to try something more complex than a waltz. Did Dr. Victor mention swing? Anyway, he used to let Carly lead pretty often, for the laughs. "Fine. But no dipping. I don't dip ... And don't get handsy." The last line was delivered in evident jest. Alex will now move to the refreshments, to wrangle up dark red wine.

When the the doctor made the class comment, Micah flipped him the bird.He had been about to make some smart arse comment, but the conversation continued without him. Alex in his catholic innocence just took it in his stride. Micah sat back and listened in amused silence, as the two verbally fell over each other several times. A man's man? Micah began shaking with laughter, these two needed their own fucking show. When Alex left, Micah gave the doctor an amused look. "Way to go 'Uncle Doctor'. If you were any smoother, they'd use you to pave roads. Never tell someone they have 'class' when they have just thrown their guts over a balcony, tends to come off as somewhat insincere." Micah put on a bad American accent." 'Swing hop dance jive turkey. ' I swear you Americans are all still stuck in the fucking fifties."

The good doctor felt his face grow warm, his eyes still slightly glazed to mirror the night sky. His words were whispered, heavy, and holding the iron sincerity which was lacking earlier. He leaned as close as the chair would let him, his face still a comfortable distance from Micah's.
"Shut up and kiss me all ready."

Somewhere, above their heads, a man chuckled.??? - "Don't mind me...!" --said the slightly French accented stranger. They couldn't see him in the darkness.

When he heard the chuckle, Micah attempted to shoot out of his chair. Only to then fall backwards in an awkward display, tripping over the chair, and landing on his arse on the hard cement floor. "Ow fuck, Who the fuck out there??" Micah was grateful for the distraction, his breath was vomit-ridden and Alex could be back at any second. His heart was beating out of his chest, who the hell was it? Mary or Ab-dur?
