Ryohei would have been happy to come to the dance alone. He really would have been. He has enough friends in the mansion and gets along with just about everyone else, so it really wasn't necessary for Hibari to accompany him.

He'd tried to tell Hibari that. And in turn, Hibari had made it perfectly clear that he didn't want to come and hated everyone in existence, Ryohei included.

So it was extremely confusing that Hibari had followed him into the ballroom and was still following him as he made his way around the room.
