"Waltz with you?" Toby asked. "Uh...okay! Yeah," He nodded quickly. "Yeah, I've got something or another on the computer. Lemme see." He went over to his computer and sat down, poking at it until it turned on. "Something with a real obvious 1-2-3, I guess, yeah?" Finding music! Now here was something he could do without half dying from embarrassment.

“Yep, you got it.” While he could simply find something on his phone, why would he? Toby’s computer had way better speakers than any ol’ phone had. But maybe Toby was a little too picky, and Izzy found himself bored within a matter of moments without that attention on him. What else should he do but put his chin back on it’s newly favorite spot, the other boy’s shoulder? “Do you know how to play a waltz?”

"Yeah," Toby replied, reaching up to pat Izzy on the cheek, "I can play a waltz...but I can't exactly dance a waltz and play it at the same time, can I?" He shook his head ever so slightly. "Uh, how about Blue Danube?" he suggested. "Pretty basic, but it has a really obvious flow to it, once the dance part starts."

“No, not yet, but you know.” He pressed his cheek closer to Toby’s, giving it a small nuzzle. “I’m sure you can do it eventually. Then you’ll be like someone out of one of those animu that you like so much.” Blue Danube... Blue Danube.... It kinda sounded familiar, but he wasn’t 100% sure. “Aren’t they the ones who did that Dubstep song Sandstorm? Didn’t know they did waltz’s too.”

Toby giggled again at the cheek rub. He couldn't help himself. "Sandstorm...?" he asked, briefly confused. "Oh! OH! Do-do-do-DO DO. Uh, no, not that." He shook his head, laughing. "No, it's this." He started it up on his computer. "It's just the name of a famous waltz." With music playing, he put his hand on Izzy's opposite cheek, and stood slowly, lifting the other boy with him. "Shall we, then?" he asked.

“Ah, Okay, I gotcha.” That made more sense, and he was kinda surprised that Toby knew that song. He thought all musicians were one hundred percent a single genre. That was a bit bad for him, being such a judgemental person but oh well. At Toby’s lead, he stood up, pulling away so that they could fully get into position. “Alright, so as with all things, this is an Izzy Waltz. You’ll have to develop your own style of dancing so that that dude you like can get your feelings through the dance! Got it?” One hand took Toby’s and placed it on his shoulder, Then that hand settled on the curve of his waist, and his free hand gently laced with Toby’s free one. The hand lacing wasn’t quite part of the dance, but whatever, he liked it. “So it’s 1-2-3 1-2-3,... Just like that.”

Toby nodded. "Yup, techno would be weird for a waltz," he remarked. He listened to Izzy's minimal explanation, and let him place their hands. Naturally, he didn't object to the intertwined fingers. "Yeah, like a waltz, but using my feet," Toby said. While he had no idea, at the very least, he was perfectly capable of following instructions...and it helped that he was musically familiar with it, he figured. So, he wasn't a complete klutz in following Izzy's lead.

Around and around and around they went, following in time with the music. Posture steady, feet un-stompped on, everything seemed to go well! That is, until Izzy slipped his arm once again around Toby’s waist and pulled him in close. “Sooo.... You’re not gonna tell me who this guy you like is, are you? And here I thought we were friends..”

He felt like he was getting the hang of this, it wasn't too bad...just had to make sure they didn't slam into anything in the room! Or get caught offguard by sudden overtly flirty actions... "Oop!" Toby breathed out, face quite red as he reflexively wrapped his arm around Izzy for balance. "N-no, I don't think I'm ready to tell you that," he replied, and grinned. "Though we're definitely friends. I mean, we've gotta be, twirling around like this, right?"

“Dang. And here I was thinking I’d slip you’d up this time.” ... It most certainly wasn’t part of a waltz but he was in the perfect position to dip Toby down low, hovering above him. “Sure, we’re friends, but if we’re gonna be friends, I got a confession to make.... Promise you won’t hate me?”

"Wah!" Toby gasped in surprise, although managed to not freak out too much when he was suddenly toppled back. Really, he mostly didn't want to make a complete fool of himself right then... "Huh? A confession?" he asked, frowning quizzically. "I'm sure I won't hate you, what ever it is." He nodded quickly. It would probably be harder than Izzy thought to make him too sour.

Before he spoke anymore, Izzy righted Toby, then let him go, putting a bit of distance between them. While it wasn’t too bad, he wasn’t quite sure of how Toby would react to his confession... “So... Remember when we first did science together? Uh, I mean, had the class together and had to clean... Well.. I’m sorry, but I totally sabotaged it then... You were so nice and I was in a bad mood, so I uh... Just... Kinda was an a**. I’m sorry...”

Toby blinked and straightened himself up, pulling down his shirt slightly, and let Izzy get around to his confession. Once it was said, he blinked a couple times. "Huh." he said. "Well, that explains that." He shrugged. "It's alright, made for a memorable first meeting, huh?" He laughed shook his head. "I couldn't figure out what went wrong, so I feel better about that now!"

"Tobyyyyyyyyyyyyyy." It was far too easy for Izzy to pull his friend into his arms again and squeeze him nice and tight. "Toby, why are you so nice, forgiving me just like that? I feel like you're too nice to everyone, that's gonna cause so much trouble, you know that?" Not everyone could be trusted. People were out there waiting to take advantage of such nice people... Maybe Toby hadn't realized just how harsh the world could be. "Alright! I have decided to protect you from the evils in this city until the day you can be protected by that boyfriend you want. I gotta make sure your niceness isn't a reason for someone to step all over you!"

Once again, Toby was surprised...although, he reflected, he probably shouldn’t have been at this point. So he was briefly stiff in a startled “I’m getting hugged” pose, before he wrapped his arms around Izzy. “I just think...it’s best to be nice,” he said softly. “I mean, I know there are bad people in the world, but assuming everyone was bad would just make it worse, wouldn’t it?” He couldn’t figure out what exactly to say about his ‘new protector,’ right then...so all he managed to do was let out a small, amused, “Okay!”
