This is an Abby/Dave song fic. It was written in in response to the ERFFCC song fic challenge. My thanks goes out to Jim for beta reading and for Kacey for editing extraordinaire! 

This fic is meant only for fun!  The song is YEAH by the Kinleys!

"Hey, Dave." John spoke as he opened his locker and put his lab coat in. 

"All finished for the day?" John barely looked at Dave, his day had been long, and all he really wanted to do right now was to go home.

"Yeah." Dave threw his lab coat in the top part of his locker before drawing on a weathered Jeans Jacket. "You have any plans tonight?" he asked John as he closed his locker with his hip. He leaned casually against it waiting for John to finish.  

"Bunch of us are going to Bosco's for a drink or two, you want to join us?" Dave knew that the probability of John actually joining him was slim. "Might do you some good to unwind." 

"Plans? Just to go home and relax," John told him as he placed some paperwork in his satchel; he glanced over at Dave who was leaning against his locker. "Whose going?"

"Some guys I know from my neighborhood. I think that I have Deb convinced, and maybe even Abby."

"We both know that Jing Mei won't show if she catches you calling her Deb again..." John told him. He laughed at Dave then grabbed his satchel, "Let me think about it. Maybe I'll join you guys later."

"Suit yourself. But you're going to miss some kind of a party." Dave told him cockily.

He says I look like someone that he used to know, 
Only I Have bigger, EYES,
~~
He says that he can tell that I'm a Capricorn
That's when I feel his hands on my thighs
~~
I turned to leave, he said, "What you leaving for?"
~~
"Talk to the hand," I said "I've heard it all before."
~~
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

Abby looked around the bar thinking how gross the entire place was. The entire bar was a dive. It had to have been one of the worst bars she'd ever been to. The air was smoky, the countertops were actually greasy, the bartender had looked down her shirt twice and she was debating  whether or not to buy another water downed, doubled priced drink or just go home. 

At first the thought of hanging out with the people from work, for a night out on the town was pleasant. But now, after experiencing every leering look in the place, Abby decided she was sick and tired of the traditional girls' night out. It didn't help to see Jing Mei hook up almost immediately with a doctor she knew from Mercy. The two had digressed from chatting to looking longingly into each other's eyes. Abby sighed and grabbed her drink. To top it off she'd had to put up with Dave. The guy never quit. He had started flirting the moment he realized that Jing was interested in her new doctor friend. He'd even gone so far as asking her what her sign was.. which had been amusing till he put his hand on her leg.

"Hey, are you finished? Can I buy you another one?"

Dave paused then asked her. "Have you ever tried 'Sex on the beach?' I hear they're really good!" He leaned in closer to her than she was expecting. His innocent look, however, didn't jive with his hand that had suddenly decided to play with her hands.

"Uh no, this drink's fine!" Abby said laughingly at him. Dave hitting on her was commonplace at work, but to have him do it while they were out was almost too funny.

He said, "Do you want a ride in my coupe de ville,
Got the engine purring outside.
~~
"I've been known to break hearts but just for you
I'm going easy tonight."
~~
"Did I ever mention I'm headed to Harvard gonna be a
doctor
Maybe a lawyer!"
~~
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

"Care to share the joke?" he asked her then lightly touched her hand. His smile was wide and innocent. 

Abby smiled and told him it wouldn't translate, then grabbed her drink to distract him.

She watched as he ordered another drink. Something called a fluffy duck. She sighed. Guys, if they just acted decent once in a while they'd probably get more dates. She was thinking about guys and dates and the smoke filled bar when Dave asked her suddenly,

"You wanna dance?" 

Abby looked over where a few couples were swaying to the extremely bad country and western band. She wondered if the evening would get any better or if it would just continue its downward spiral. At least tomorrow she could say she'd been out of the house, but if this night got any worse she was heading for the door.  

She let Dave lead her towards the dance floor and watched as other dancers swayed close together. Dave however pulled her as close to him as she could get. Abby wasn't sure if she was uncomfortable or if she should just move along with the music. OR if she should make him give her some space - an inch or two might be nice, she thought.

"Has anyone ever told you what beautiful eyes you have?" Dave spoke suddenly. He stared deeply into her eyes only to find Abby giggling at him. Evidently the last drink she'd had was starting to take effect. 

"Dave.. c'mon, you can do better than that!.." She told him suddenly. 

"No, I'm serious; I've never noticed them before. Surely, I can't be the first guy who's ever noticed?" Dave said as seriously as he could, considering he was running out of lines and so far nothing was having any effect on her. 

Abby just shook her head at him. When the song ended she glanced over to where Jing and her doctor friend were hanging out. She let Dave lead her back to the table.  

"We're going to catch you later," Jing Mei said suddenly. All evening she had her eyes firmly set on the man before her. Abby knew that Jing Mei was thinking with her hormones or she wouldn't have left her there with Dave.. or would she? 

"Um ok," Abby said she unconsciously grabbed a tress of hair and swirled it with one finger. Then she watched as Dave took it out of her hand and forgot to let go of her hand. For a brief moment Abby thought it felt nice to hold hands with him. Shaking her head she moved her hand back slightly, to see what he would do. Dave just smiled at her and left his hand where it was.  Almost like he was testing her right back to see what she'd do. 

"I think it's time for me to go," Abby told Dave and grabbed her coat and searched her pockets for her car keys.  

"Hey, let me walk you out at least." Dave told her.

The two were silent as they walked towards Abby's vehicle. Abby stayed quiet, sure that Dave would come up with another come-on line or three. She wondered if he was going to try to kiss her as they neared her car. 

"Would you like to.. um.. maybe go out sometime? To a movie or something?" Dave's nervousness showed as he spit the sentence out as fast as he could, almost as if he were afraid she would refuse.

Abby watched him for a moment trying to figure out what to do.

"I'm just asking you out on a date. You know dinner and a movie. It's not like I'm an ax murderer or anything." Dave actually blushed when he spoke. It was at that moment that Abby realized that Dave was interested in her, his bad come-on lines just emphasized how shy he was around women. She wondered if he knew how he came across to others or was so insecure around women he was positive that his cheesy lines were the only way he could get a date. 

"Dave, I think I'd like that." She watched Dave smile a very nice, shy smile. Her previous animosity towards him seemed to go away. The sort of smile that made her melt inside. 

"So Dave, do you have any more lines you want to try on me?"Abby asked him.
   

The he blushes then he smiles and he laughs and says
"Its true, I'm a fool for you."
And I'm thinking he's Kinda cute.

He turns to leave
I said, "What ya leaving for? 
Don't give up so easy
Lie to me a little more!"

YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH,
