"Wow. You look gorgeous, and so does everyone else! Shouldn't there be one failure here? One fat, bald guy that used to be everyone's favorite jock?" Ruben joked, then opened his mouth in mock surprise as Juliet's slightly scandalous joke. "Oh, you! That doesn't help<em>me</em>, you know." He paused for effect, then shrugged. "I'm wearing panties that are too nice to take off."<br/><br/>Ruben giggled, then looked over Juliet's shoulder to Tanner. He recognized the man as who he was now... and he remembered how shy and bullied he was in High School. Now, Ruben was a man who loved to think of the positives before the negatives. So, perhaps the experience of High School had structured him well and he was now a respectful and caring man(and oof, that outfit!). But on the flip side perhaps he was insensitive to other's feelings, just like they had been to his so long ago. Ruben wanted to believe the first bit, but because Juliet was sitting next to him Ruben couldn't help but be a little protective.<br/><br/>The man smirked, and nodded to Juliet's last statement. "Of course. I'll come find you after we've both bloated from all this gorgeous food." He smirked, then held her hand a little more firmly and lowered his voice. "But you tell me if any blue-eyed man isn't treating you right, okay? Because you know how I can shake him up if he's harassing my girl." He said, then cast another glance to Tanner. The guy was a gem to look at, so it'd be a shame if it came down to Ruben having to tell him to fuck off, or god forbid get physical.<br/><br/>Once he had said his peace, he let go of Juliet and held his hands up in mock surrender. "Look at me, being the overbearing mom-friend once again!" He said, then giggled and waved his goodbyes to Juliet. As he walked past, he ruffled Tanner's hair and grinned to him. "Still got nice cheekbones, McCloud."<br/><br/>Ruben went to get food - an array of different things he hadn't tried before and some things he just couldn't resist, even if they were carb-heavy - and made his way back to his table. Once he had sat down between Evion and Katie he let out a sigh of relief. "Is it just me, or does the food here all look like it's been made by Gordon Ramsey?" The man exclaimed. He smirked, then looked to Ruben. "Hey there," He playfully punched Evion's arm - not nearly any sort of force to it - and stuck out his tongue. "How's the guy in your life?"
