[Sam gives him a huffy look, almost a scowl.]

I just- I'm gonna have a drink, okay? Maybe a smoke.

[His expression softens a little.]

You're not gonna tell are you?

[vates]

[ Eye. Roll. Seriously? ] No. But don't be dumb enough to get caught.

Why are you even smoking? You know how bad that is for you.

[voiceinthedark]

[God, he can almost feel the disapproval.]

I'm not a genius but I'm not that dumb. And loads of people go out there. It's fine.

[He lets out a slow breath.]

I know. It's terrible. I'm an awful person. It just makes me feel better.

[vates]

[ Another eyeroll, though this time it's for his making fun of Kevin chastising him. He wouldn't go so far to say his brother's an awful person for smoking, just a stupid one. And he's generally careful not to call his brother stupid because he knows that's a sensitive issue between them.

The slow breath and the reason for the smoking has Kevin more worried than annoyed, though, and he frowns. ]

Is something bothering you?

[voiceinthedark]

[He folds his arms over his chest, looking anywhere but at Kevin. It feels like another failure, another way he can't live up to Kevin.]

No. Not really. Just... everything. Stupid speed dating and this dance getting to me, that's all. You're fine. Go have fun. I'm just being stupid.

[vates]

[ Obviously things aren't fine, and Kevin glances over his shoulder at the dance before his attention is back on his brother. The choice is pretty obvious to him. ]

Come on. Let's go have that drink. If you get us caught, though, I swear, Sam...

[voiceinthedark]

[He gives Kevin a look of surprise which melts into a brief smile before he grabs Kevin's hand and tugs him towards the door which leads out of the back of the hall.]

Oh come on, have a little faith in me.
