Brain/Ephemer - Dancing
(I just wanted them to dance. And maybe kiss hmm.)
----------------------------
Brain held Ephemer's hand firmly tight. Or maybe it was Ephemer who held Brain's hand firmly tight. Regardless, they held each other's hands, looking at each other head on. Though it was kind of hard to do in this dark room, their eyes only shining through in the right angle with the only lamp in the room on.
Brain moved first and Ephemer followed his steps right after, though they only really circled around each other, and yet -
Ephemer giggled. "Why are we dancing?" He asked, continuing without much thought. But he gripped Brain's hand tight now, pushing him slightly backwards as he took over the rhythm.
(What rhythm?)
There, Brain had to laugh. "Don't know. Why are we dancing?"
There wasn’t any reasoning. They just held and looked at each other. One thing came to another.
"You know," Ephemer spoke again, the smile on his face unable to vanish. "this would be better with some music."
Brain nodded with a smile on his own, closing his eyes as he slowed his movements to an almost halt. "You're right, next time definitely."
But Ephemer didn’t yet give up on the dancing, continuing to lead Brain a bit more - just right to the moment where he was able to stand in front of him, letting go of one of their hands to cup his cheek, getting his attention right there.
He had to slightly stand on his toes to reach for a kiss, but Brain gladly accepted and smiled into it, their dancing coming to an end as they parted again.
Just for a moment they lingered like that, looking at each other in this dim light, their hearts still dancing even if they physically didn't anymore.
Ephemer closed his eyes as he laid his head on Brain's shoulder, his feet still wanting to go on, but -
He chuckled. "Music, next time." He repeated the last point they made and Brain had to smile at himself.
"I'll keep it in mind."
