i don't dance.

at this, he laughs.

"and you think i do? i just nod my head in clubs."

not that he goes often anymore, but he definitely spent his fair share of nights clubbing when he was younger.

with another sip, he gestures over to the space in the middle.

"come on. we can look dumb together."

”Oh, of course you go to clubs.”
[break][break]
Sol hates clubs. It’s almost like her worst nightmare. All those drunk people close together? The loud music? No thanks.
[break][break]
Does he really want her to go dance, though?
[break][break]
Why in the world would he want that?
[break][break]
It’s not that she cares about people noticing, she knows they probably won’t because they’re too preoccupied with their own lives and enjoying their night, but what is so fun about a dance?
[break][break]
Sol doesn’t know the answer to that.
[break][break]
”Are you saying you think I will look dumb, Uri?”
[break][break]
Maybe just to be a little mean, she looks at him in the eyes, her expression ever the perfect poker face.

"used to. i haven't in a while."

because, honestly, his ears have started to hurt from all the loud music being blasted in confined spaces.

at her tease, he panics a little, shaking his head as he tries to recover.

"no, no! that's not what i meant. i'm just saying we might look dumb."

clearing his throat, he adds:

"i know i definitely will."

It’s almost too easy.
[break][break]
Or, well, actually… It is too easy.
[break][break]
One stare, the right words, and Uri is sent into a panic and full nervous wreck state.
[break][break]
It’s kind of adorable, even though Sol knows she probably shouldn’t be doing this to him.
[break][break]
”You’re cute.”
[break][break]
A smirk.
[break][break]
”And yeah, you’ll look dumb. Here.”
[break][break]
She does no more than offer him her hand.

no, she probably shouldn't be doing this to him, but it's not like he particularly minds, especially not when she says things like that.

you're cute.

only to be followed by:

you'll look dumb.

not sure what to say to that, he instead reaches for her hand and leads her towards the dance floor, placing his empty glass on a tray on the way.

beautiful instruments sound around them, playing a melody he doesn't quite recognize, but knows to be fitting for a slow dance, as evident by others around them.

and so he turns around to face her, reaches for her hip, and starts swaying with the flow of the music.

Ballroom dancing is not her thing. Dancing in itself isn’t. Sol isn’t made for it, and there’s no way she will ever like it.
[break][break]
And yet, she finishes her champagne and sets the glass down on the nearest tray, allowing Uri to lead her to the dancefloor.
[break][break]
A hand rests at her hip, and in response she gently places one at his shoulder, looking at him as they sway with the music.
[break][break]
Ballroom dancing is not her thing, but it could be worse, couldn’t it?
[break][break]
”Happy now?”

ballroom dancing is not his thing either, but somehow, they manage, perhaps because he isn't focusing too much on the dancing or on how he looks.

he's focusing on her.

on how close they are.

and how she makes him happy.

"very."

he smiles, swaying.

"are you?"

Is this really all that special? What is it about dancing that people enjoy so much?
[break][break]
Sol finds no appeal in just swaying with the music, but if she really thinks about it… being close to him is rather nice.
[break][break]
Maybe it’s about that.
[break][break][break]
About having an excuse to do this sort of stuff.
[break][break]
This is okay, right? They’re just dancing, after all. Nothing more.
[break][break]
”Me? Hmm… I’d say so.”
[break][break]
Her smile is faint, but her words are true.

her smile, along with her words, are more than enough.

"i'm glad."

the music continues to play, picking up tempo slightly which could only mean one thing.

"i'm going to spin you now."

or is it called a turn? he can't seem to remember.

regardless, on cue, he raises her by her hand and leads her into an elegant spin, catching her once she comes out of it.

’I'm going to spin you now.’
[break][break]
The warning is appreciated, but he should have asked.
[break][break]
Some men just never think of asking, huh?
[break][break]
Still, he’s leading, so she’ll let it slide, and when he raises her hand, she spins with ease, the flowing skirt of her dress elegantly billowing with the movement.
[break][break]
He catches her, and she meets his gaze in return.
[break][break]
”I thought you said you didn’t dance.”

after the spin, his gaze returns, meeting hers as he chuckles.

"you said you didn't either."

and yet here they are: dancing together in the grand ballroom of the observatory, and despite being surrounded by so many people, he finds it easy to slip into their own little bubble, ignoring everything and everyone else around them.

soon, the song comes to an end before it transitions seamlessly into the next. he doesn't want to stop, so he carries on.

”Maybe I lied.”
[break][break]
A smirk, because of course Sol has danced before, as it’s obvious he has too, but it’s not something she cares for…
[break][break]
It’s not something she usually enjoys.
[break][break]
Not in the way she’s enjoying this, at least.
[break][break]
”You better not expect me to dance all night, though.”
[break][break]
The music changes, and she notices it, but for now, despite her words, she doesn’t really mind it.

it's not something he usually enjoys either, which is why he'd often just hang out at the bar in the past and just drink it out.

the thought of doing that here does occur to him, but she'd be there drinking with him, of course.

but this is nice, too.

he appreciates it more than he thought he would.

"i think the soy-ree ends before that."

said wrongly on purpose this time, as evident by the smirk that follows.

"we can stop whenever you want."

[break][break]
He smirks, and naturally, she smirks too.
[break][break]
”And here I was about to take back the part about looking dumb, too bad.”
[break][break]
Sorry, Uri.
[break][break]
Not like she really means it though.
[break][break]
In fact, she chuckles, shrugging slightly at his words.
[break][break]
”It’s fine, we can dance for a little longer. It's been fun.”
