Sometimes Sol really wonders how he can just say things like those, but then again, it wouldn’t be Uri if he didn’t, right?
[break][break]
”Do you think you deserve credit?”
[break][break]
He does deserve it, but she still holds his gaze, staring in that resolute way that seems as if she’s judging every single thing he says and every single movement he makes.
[break][break]
But then her gaze shifts, looking down at his suit once again. Head to polished black shoes, and right back up again.
[break][break]
”Hmm… Guess so.”
[break][break]
Count your victories, Uri.
[break][break]
She said it once, and once is more than enough for Sol.
[break][break]
Still, she smirks with these words.

uri finds it in him to hold his gaze, never once faltering.

"i think i do."

guess so.

is that a victory? it's probably the best he'll get from her right now so he'll take it.

unable to hide it, it makes him smile, genuine and warm and bright as they continue dancing.

”Then, you do.”
[break][break]
Sol perhaps isn’t the kind of person to rely on for reassurance, since she’ll always make things simple and clear. If he believes he deserves recognition, then he does, because it means he thinks he did enough to have earned as much. She doesn’t disagree. If she did, she would say as much.
[break][break]
He smiles, so maybe he doesn’t need her reassurance.
[break][break]
Maybe he can realize when things are good enough.
[break][break]
So, maybe saying one more nice thing will be fine:
[break][break]
”I’m glad you agreed to come with me to this, Uri.”

one more nice thing will definitely be fine. in fact, it only makes sure his smile stays just a little bit longer.

"of course."

even if the invite had come a little bit out of the blue, he still appreciates it all the same.

"thanks for thinking of me."

not many do.

something changes in the music that catches his attention.

"i think a dip's coming up."

”You already said that before.”
[break][break]
It wouldn’t be Sol if she didn’t point this out, of course.
[break][break]
It doesn’t mean that she isn’t glad to be here with him, but it does mean that she thinks he shouldn’t be thanking her for it. There’s really no need.
[break][break]
’I think a dip's coming up.’
[break][break]
Oh, for fuck’s sake.
[break][break]
”Okay, but don’t make a scene when I step on you.”
[break][break]
Fair warning, but she still doesn’t try to stop him.
[break][break]
Will she do it on purpose?

"then don't step on me."

simple enough, surely.

he listens to the music, waiting for the eventual drop which will soon come. his hand slides along her waist, toward her back in preparation, and sure enough, the drop comes.

and with it, a graceful dip.

or at least an attempt at one.

Five inch stiletto heels, look it up.
[break][break]
Uri signed his fate the moment he told Sol not to do it, even though she gives him no signs of this at first.
[break][break]
There’s a drop in the music, and with it comes a dip, no resistance being offered in response to the motion.
[break][break]
She just looks at him.
[break][break]
”You’re enjoying this way too much.”
[break][break]
It’s not accusatory, but there’s a smirk.
[break][break]
And, sure enough, when he brings her back up, if only briefly, she steps on his foot with her heel.

"i am."

the smirk is mirrored and it lingers even after being stepped on by five-inch stiletto heels. he clenches his jaw, tensing as he fights through the sudden pain in his foot.

but as instructed, he doesn't make a scene.

"you're so mean."

She can be mean.
[break][break]
She is being mean.
[break][break]
Sol knows both these things.
[break][break]
And yet, watching his reaction and watching him struggle, she chuckles – surprised that he didn’t actually make a scene. Shame, that would have been fun to see.
[break][break]
”I am, but you already knew that.”
[break][break]
He did, because everyone among her troops says so, and Sol’s very aware of it.
[break][break]
”Come on, let’s go sit down or something, since you injured your poor little foot.”
[break][break]
She smiles, and she takes his hand, guiding him away from the dance floor.

he did, because he's experienced it firsthand, but again, it's not like he particularly minds.

"my poor foot..."

smiling, he follows after her, led by his hand toward where tables are set up off to the side. he expects they'll end up at one of the quieter ones, maybe off in the corner, so he makes sure to grab a couple of drinks and a plate of food for them on his way.

”Yeah, yeah, you’ll be fine. Don’t be a baby.”
[break][break]
There’s a smirk, because she can tell he’s probably smiling even without a need to look at him. It’s obvious in his tone alone, and it’s also obvious simply because this is Uri we’re talking about here. He probably is just happy she’s holding his hand or something…
[break][break]
He really cares too much about things like those for Sol’s liking.
[break][break]
They do end up at one of the quieter tables, and it is there that she lets go of his hand.
[break][break]
”Still crying, or is your poor foot fine?”

off at one of the quieter tables, uri places their drinks and food down in front of them before settling into the seat, quickly finding comfort as he extends his legs out.

"it really hurts, sol. i...i don't think i'm going to make it through the night."

so, still crying, obviously.

"still able to get you drinks and food, though, so that's something, surely."

There’s nothing quite like the way Sol rolls her eyes when she takes a seat.
[break][break]
Maybe someone else could have fallen for the whining, even when done jokingly, but Sol? Sol isn’t the kind of person to easily give in, much less with things like these. There is no guilt.
[break][break][break]
”You’re not? Too bad. Hope you enjoy your final moments.”
[break][break]
She’s joking, of course, but as per usual, it doesn’t sound like a joke.
[break][break]
”So, what’s on the menu?”

it doesn't sound like a joke but it never does, so he doesn't think much of it.

"you know you'll miss me."

maybe, maybe not, but he takes a bet, confident of his odds even when there's little to back it up.

"i managed to pick up a bunch of horse doves so we have a fine selection at the ready."

he gestures towards the plate, then slides a glass of bubbly champagne over to her.

"and more champagne, of course."
