"Yeah. Alright." Stepping outside might not give them much privacy, considering how many people are around, but it might make them feel a little more comfortable. No expectations of having to step around in sync or anything like that, either.
Reluctantly he lets go of Marc's hand and glances around the room before making his way towards the door. He shouldn't fidget, shouldn't mess with his clothes, but he doesn't know where to put his hands either, so he wrings his hands a bit until they're outside.
Taking a deep breath, Steven closes his eyes and cracks a small smile, enjoying the cool and relative quiet outside of the dance hall.
"I'm tempted to run away," Steven laments in Marc's direction without turning fully to look at him. "It was easier to run with you around. And I guess you felt the same." He could simply let Marc take over when situations got too overwhelming. But now he's kind of stuck, and if he physically runs away, well... it looks strange. And people would take it the wrong way. (Somehow more wrong than if he just suddenly withdrew and let Marc take over.)
