Glitter encrusted moosen stood guard in the entry to the transformed Town Hall, reminding all those in attendance that the night was about all things Canadian. Or things the Student Council had deemed Canadian - plus a whole lot of glitter ( Read more... )

Tim Horton's somehow managed to cater the event, so along with the sugar, there was plenty of coffee, tea, and um, bagel BELTs. The maple syrup fountain was surrounded by bite-sized food on sticks, like Canadian bacon, timbits, and waffles. More daring eaters could grab a sample of poutine and wash it down with some fizzy Vernors ginger ale!

Ugh, Canadian food.

However, this was the best place in the room to keep an eye on everybody and maybe make some small talk, so he grabbed a plate of food and sat down, doing his best to look approachable.

"You. I want to talk to you."

Not about fun things, to judge by Kenzi's expression.

[and on that note, I disappear for most of the day. Sadly.]

"You know, most people start off with 'hello'," Peter snarked, not about to be cowed by a diminutive Goth girl in a tight whatever.

"Hi Peter. Why are you such a dick, sometimes?" Kenzi beamed at him. No one close enough not to overhear would be able to guess she wasn't her usual self.

"Hey," Peter said, "Now that's not very nice."

Seriously, Kenzi. It had been for his own good.

"Did you even try to find him, after? After the inevitable happened?" Kenzi asked, still smiling sweetly. "Have you seen him since?"

"Why are you getting pissed off at me?" Peter wondered. "I just mentioned Tony had a booth. I don't know what happened to Topher, but it was all him."

"Oh, bullshit. 'Dry off so you're not dripping.' 'Don't break your nose.'" Kenzi had a good memory of what Topher had said. "Not, 'no, he's got a girlfriend, don't do it.'" That smile was getting toothier. "What the hell were you thinking?"

"We've already told him Tony has a girlfriend how many times?" Peter asked. "What was I supposed to do, hit him with a mallet and knock him unconscious?"

"Not interfere!" Kenzi snapped, finally losing the smile. "Letting it go! So he was a dork about Tony, so what? He was hurt, Peter. Did you even think about that?"

Well, sure, but it didn't seem all that relevant. "Fine, I'm sorry he got hurt," Peter said, oh so honestly. Well, managing a good facsimile of honesty. "But something like this was bound to happen eventually. It's not like you can sit on him all the time."

"You... don't get it." Kenzi was still mad. And maybe Peter was sorry, but he wasn't off the hook. "You were a crappy friend. You should have been there, after. You knew how it would go. And you weren't. And he thinks you set him up, which you kind of did. Why should he ever trust you now?"

"I didn't set him up," Peter said, with a roll of his eyes. "I just kept him from running after Tony with his shirt off, which you have to admit would have been much worse. Besides, I didn't go anywhere. I had to stand by that stupid booth for an hour because he vanished into thin air."

How was he so dense? How were men so dense? Kenzi was still glaring. "You should have been with him," she said, stubborn. "If you couldn't stop him. And you should've tried, and... oh, screw it. You're the least sympathetic person on the planet sometimes." She shook her head. "I hope I get to see you after you get completely rejected by some girl. See how much better you understand this then."

Jesus christ. Give her a few weeks, and maybe she'd get it - he'd just saved Topher a much longer period of potential heartbreak and/or stalking charges. Well, if she didn't get how Peter had been helping, whatever.

Maybe this whole 'hanging out with people' thing really was the colossally stupid distraction it had seemed at first. It's not like they got any of it. Besides, he'd already found out how that felt when his brother dumped him like a sack of potatoes at the age of fourteen months.

"It was going to happen one way or another," Peter pointed out, "And again. I didn't put him up to it."
