[throughout the course of the evening, barry does his best to ignore len's presence. it's not that he wants to pretend the other man isn't there. rather, it's that those few times that their eyes do end up meeting, barry manages to make a fool of himself as a result. a misplaced foot causing a yelp from his dance partner at the time. a fumbled glass sloshing alcohol onto his pants. he could really do without having to field the questions that come after each mess up, thank you very much.
but ultimately, it seems as though his plan fails completely the moment that len finally heads over to him. the moment he touches him. any hope of keeping up the facade is lost as barry ends up smiling back at him.]
I thought I could do with a change. [he doesn't fight it when his hands come up to rest either side of len's waist. to keep him close despite how public of a place they are.] It's not going to be a problem, is it? [you know, what with the whole wanting to make out a lot more in the future.]
