transformingbricoleur asked:
❛ may i have this dance? ❜ Someone, it seems, is in a good mood...
Szayel perks up at the question.
He reaches a hand out, taking the role he does best…backwards and in high heels.
“I thought you’d never ask.”
One arm wraps the back of a shoulder and he enters the zone of familiarity that’s teasing on its own.
“Though I also didn’t realize you knew how to dance.”
The grin on Kisuke’s jaw broadens as Szayel’s hand elegantly finds a place on his shoulder. “To be honest, I’m rather surprised, myself.” On both counts. Truly, his dance partner is the soul of style; he’ll be hard-pressed to match on that level, though perhaps his movement will prove fluid enough.
“Iroha,” he commands a device propped on a nearby console, “Play a tango.” Soon, sultry strains emanate from its speaker, and he counts time as he begins to guide his dance partner about the floor, stepping out nimbly with his geta-clad left.
Slow, slow, quick-quick-drag... slow, slow, quick-quick-drag...
“It’s a recently-acquired skill, but not one that was difficult to pick up,” he comments after a moment, “considering the tango is hakuda-adjacent. YouTube is an incredibly helpful resource.” How naturally his partner takes the following role-- “Somehow, I’m not at all surprised that you know how to dance. When did you learn?”
