He giggled, and took a sip of his wine. Damn, where did it all go?? He must have been drinking it fast. That was what good conversation did to Ruben; it made him drink just that little bit faster. His reaction to the compliment was more an aversion to being called attractive by anyone, really. Not that he didn't think he looked amazing - in these shoes, he knew he looked great - but he didn't take compliments from people well. Unless it was a cute man at a bar, of course. Even then he'd bite his lip and roll his eyes. It was hardly appropriate to say 'I know!' when someone called you hot, right? Right.<br/><br/>"Oh, please! I might have always been myself but it's not like I didn't get into trouble for it." Ruben said, then chuckled at her comment about drinking at 19. "Oh, you live in LA! You know everyone past 16 at least drinks those soda-pop Vodka things!"<br/><br/>When coming out to people came up, Ruben nodded with an almost solemn expression. "Mhmm, I know that feeling. My mother was in denial about me liking boys until I had my first boyfriend in High School." Ruben said, then shrugged. "But I suppose I was lucky. My father was all for it. In fact, I remember he bought me a baseball bat for my first apartment in LA, and he told me I'd need to be beating the boys back with it." Ruben chuckled, then shook his head. The man raised what was left of his glass of wine in response to Katie doing the same. "And I'm glad to have run into you again."<br/><br/>Ruben's eyes widened. He bit his lip subconsciously. His last play was Heathers, where he kissed his co-star on stage and belted out one of the hardest tunes he had done yet. Once she stated her opinion on it, he let out a breath of relief and nodded. "I only had one song..." He said, then waved a hand and gulped down the last morsel of wine. "But the Opening Night was definitely the best night. I think it was because of the new crowd." He smiled, then shrugged. "Thank you for your kind words though."<br/><br/>Ruben looked behind him, and then to the Ballroom behind him. He narrowed his eyes, then spotted it. Mint Green hair. Ruben put a hand on Katie's shoulder again, and pointed across the ballroom to Evion Raymond. "Remember when I mentioned a high school boyfriend? That's him!" Ruben exclaimed, then sighed happily. "I was on his radio show a while ago, he has the most gorgeous boyfriend now. I guess there's always the winner of the relationship breakup, right? Here I am, completely single, and there he is with Chester the dog-loving Greek God."<br/><br/>With a giggle, Ruben looked back to Katie and stuck out his tongue a little. "I'm not bitter, though." He grinned, then looked back to the bar and ordered another glass. Why not let go a little?
