I just don't want to miss you tonight
“Lieutenant? Is my appearance appropriate for the police ball? I can change if you want.” Connor, who was wearing a dark blue suit with a matching red bow tie, was standing inside the doorframe of my bedroom and I could easily notice the mildly confused look on Connor’s face. I mean he looked even more confused than usual. “You look nice. But please don’t call me Lieutenant anymore, okay? I mean you’re kind of date tonight.” I mumbled the last part, but still it seemed as if Connor had understood it perfectly. “It’s good that your pleased with my appearance, Hank.” And I swear to god I never heard someone pronounce my name as nice sounding as Connor. It appeared softer. “We should leave now. Our car ride will take approximately 23.9 minutes, which will led to us being 5 minutes early to leave a good first impression.” - “Alright Connor, let’s leave.”
After arriving at the ball and needing to chat with all these annoying people, most of them started to finally go off to dance and leave me alone. The music was, what can I say, okay or more like bearable. I still have to admit that I have a soft spot for soft rock ballads and I couldn’t resist tapping my foot. All of a sudden Connor appeared next to me. “You seem to like that type of music. Would you like to dance with me? I researched that I am as your date supposed to dance with you.” - “Connor, I don’t know... I’m not really good at slow dance and such..” I looked down. “You do not need to be good at it, i can download a tutorial and guide you.” - “Connor, I don’t want you to download how to fucking dance. I want you to just try, maybe I wouldn’t feel bad for not being able to dance properly for once.” - “ So you want to dance?” - “Yes, Connor.” Connor reached for my hand and pulled me up to the dance floor. I softly pulled his hand up to my waist. “Just lay your hand here, okay? You can move it if you want to, but you don’t have to.” Connor nodded quickly. My hand is now resting on his hip. Our hands join together and you could say that it must have looked alright. I started moving to the music and I was surprised. We worked good together. I did not step onto his feet. We didn’t move into different directions. It went as smoothly as possible. It felt warm holding Connor like this even though his body temperature was colder than mine. And all I could feel in that moment was joy and my racing heartbeat. There was no place I would rather be than here with him.
And I'd give up forever to touch you
'Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right not
Connor moved closer, laying his head on my chest. And all I knew was that I just need to hold on to that moment as long as I can.
And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
'Cause sooner or later it's over
I just don't want to miss you tonight
“Hank?” Connor whispers against my chest. “You’re heart is beating pretty fast.” - “I know Connor, I know.”
