Day 102 - B's Fancy Dance

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Continued from here]

On the contrary. I picked the exact correct playing field.

[The urge to break the staring contest rises as Intensity should be paying attention to other things like not bumping them into other dancers or appreciating how Man Eater moves on the dance floor.

But games are games. And losing is bad enough, but throwing. Ugh. Heaven (or Hell) forbid that ever happen]

Day 102 - B's Fancy Dance

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Continued from here]

Allow me to raise the difficulty level then.

[rollplayinghouse]

I figured you'd say that.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[His arm moving all the way around her back to hold her by the waist is a pretty good predictor of the deep that happens shortly thereafter. Intensity leans forward enough to make sure that most of her weight is shifted off her feet.

And then, when they are nose to nose:]

Going to get bored of me if I become too predictable?

[carnivorouscarnival]

[ how did they even get to this point? who knows. but now they've definitely run with it too far to stop before someone loses. ]

Let's see you put your money where your mouth is.

[ and then abruptly, as they come up on a pair to Intensity's back, in his blind spot: ]

Turn.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Intensity pivots on his heel and the couple passes, close enough for the voluminous skirt of one dancers to brush against them.

And then one-two-three back into their steady pace]

And what reward will I get if I surprise you?

[rollplayinghouse]

[She was clearly not entirely expecting that, at least, as she inhales sharply as her legs move out from under her. She flushes slowly as she meets his eyes.]

...I'm not sure you can become that predictable.

[carnivorouscarnival]

Hmmm.

Maybe I'll let you lead more than just this dance.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Oh? Something more along the lines of---?

[And Intensity leads Man Eater into a very low dip (still locking gazes of course). Low enough for the tips of his hair to touch the ground, but actually that doesn't seem like too much of a feat]

This.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Dip, not deep. Me vs. tired tagging]]

[Don't phrase that as a challenge, Maki. Who knows what will happen after that?]

Good.

[And keeping her in that position for just a few seconds longer. Lingering on purpose]

I'd hate to be boring.

[carnivorouscarnival]

[ his eyes stay fixed on Intensity even as he's lowered, sparkling a bit, though he hugs Intensity's shoulder more tightly and shifts so he can support more of his own weight.

and yes, his hair is definitely long enough that it's on the floor. ]

Getting warmer.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[With the smugest smirk imaginable:]

I thought I already did that.

[carnivorouscarnival]

[ he flushes ever-so-slightly—though if you weren't looking closely, you'd never guess from his cocksure attitude. ]

So now you're not interested anymore? I'll remember that.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Oh, you misunderstand. I'm very interested. I just didn't know I needed special permission.

Was it not good enough for you?

[rollplayinghouse]

I know you would.

[Just smiling up at him doesn't seem to quite express what she's feeling at this point, so she pulls herself up the few inches it takes to kiss him.]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[He keeps the kiss rather chaste, more "romantic" than their usual fare. But there is a smug little chuckle at knowing that he is doing a good job at this fancypants dance thing, and she is rewarding him appropriately for it.]

[carnivorouscarnival]

... I didn't say that.

[ and then his lips tug up in a smirk, echoing Intensity's own words from bingo: ]

But I can't let you do the same thing all the time or you'll get bored of me.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Just laughs at that. Delighted]

You could never bore me.

[rollplayinghouse]

[She doesn't even get annoyed at how smug he sounds, because he is in fact doing very well at being fancy and romantic. She also looks pretty pleased with herself when she pulls back.]

[carnivorouscarnival]

[ he beams at that, a genuine smile. ]

Is that right? Glad to hear it.

[ and then he leans up just enough to give Intensity a quick peck on the cheek. ]

Fine. Then give me a better idea.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[And he pulls back as well, pulling Maki gracefully back to her feet as he does so and stepping back into the dance]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Maybe next time I'll let you lead the dance.

[carnivorouscarnival]

[ smug: ]

I didn't know I needed special permission.

[rollplayinghouse]

[And she follows in the dance again, lighter on her feet this time.]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Leans down to brush his lips against the more bare of her two shoulders]

You pick this out yourself?
