there was a long time spent between yuuya and sakutaro that was simply staring , odd eye contact . not the longing , romantic gazing most couples would partake in , but instead uncomfortable , blank faces staring . for minutes on end , sakutaro would stare and yuuya would return the look , as if trying to decipher what happened in that brain of sakutaro’s . why he stared so intently , what about him was so incredibly curious that it deserve three minutes of straight eye contact .
That’s what was happening as the two held each other , bodies flush and faces close as they stepped in time to the rhythm . sakutaro led the dance , growing up in a richer family that attended parties he had learned from a young age to dance with girls his age to impress them . not that he ever used the skill , learning from his neglectful surroundings fast that it was best to hide away in his room , away from others . not to expect anything of them so they did not expect anything of him in return . but with yuuya , that simply did not apply . there was a bond there , a mutual care , as odd as it was , between each other that made sakutaro feel at ease . but most importantly , there was honesty . both of them lacked their polite front when near each other , surrounded by each other . and right now that honesty felt more than just fronts and manners . right now sakutaro was enveloped by yuuya , his fierce gaze and the blank expression , void of his arrogant smirk . sakutaro felt every aspect of his honesty washing over him , knowing that the yuuya he danced with wasn't a facade or a mask . that was a closeness he’d only ever experienced with corpses , so finally experiencing that.. it was like bathing in an ocean of warmth .
though he wondered if yuuya experienced the same . if that feeling was mutual , yuuya basking in each moment they shared , every thought . or perhaps it was only sakutaro who experienced it, despite the way yuuya always came back .
“your silence flatters me.”
came yuuya’s deep voice , teasing . and sakutaro cocked his head in response , swaying them into a turn as he did so , amusement rising in him at the way yuuya’s eyes widened ever so slightly and his footing became clumsy . the moment was gone in a snap , just as fast as it came . as if it hadnt happened .
“as does yours. i prefer it to it to the cocky tone you harbor.”
sakutaro responded in wording just as elegant as his clothing , a deep blue suit with gold trimming , undone to reveal a ruffled creme colored shirt without any tie . it was an outfit he wore for his fathers approval and only that , no care for what anyone else thought of it . other than perhaps yuuya , dancing with him now , body to body as they stepped in time . yuuya seemed to understand his wish for silence , lips pursing as he made a face . eyes scrunched , staring at sakutaro in thought . the boy almost laughed at such a face , made in such a setting . the large , elegant ballroom . marble with gold accents matching to sakutaro’s outfit .
suddenly , yuuya dipped him . not a ballroom move whatsoever , and sakutaro grabbed at him in an attempt not to fall . what the hell was this guy doing ? he thought , eyes widened despite his otherwise blank face . yuuya’s weirdly thoughtful expression twisted into something more smug , a cocky smirk taking over his features . as if he were saying ‘look who’s stumbling now’ , holding sakutaro in the dip for a few silent moments . too long to feel natural . before lifting him impossibly closer than before . he could feel yuuya’s hot breath against his own mouth now , forehead to forehead as they moved in a smooth square dance . with an overwhelming feeling of competition , sakutaro had to withhold himself from leaning in for a rough kiss in such a public setting .
competition was common between the two , as was hateful romantic gestures and ‘playfully’ rough interactions . yuuya set he couldnt ever be wrong or lose versus sakutaro who wanted to desperately impress his partner by one upping him . it ended in plenty of metaphorical dances between them , waltzes , tangos , risque moves and more . anything to prove one was better than the other , in most scenarios . and apparently now couldnt be any different , much to sakutaro’s annoyance . he’d been basking in such a relaxing time , for him who knew how to dance with ease the action had been a bonding activity , so close to his partner. although yuuya had been struggling to keep up , and in order to prove he was the best felt the need to throw his lover off , smirk at his reaction and then proceed to lead the dance , too cocky for his own good . sakutaro let it happen , easily keeping up with the quicker and more sudden movements , the way yuuya erratically decided to spin him and then yank him back close . sakutaro bumped heads with his partner and opened his mouth slightly to snap, but before words came out yuuya’s mouth crashed into his , teeth hitting lips in the suddenness of it before yuuya pulled away and they mutually made up for the kiss with a much better one , just as rough though much more aligned . it took sakutaro moment of recuperation before he spoke , cheeks lacking any color and face blank .
“scoundrel.”
sakutaro spat .
“your scoundrel”
was yuuya’s response , completely content with the label .
he would be sakutaro’s anything , if it meant he was to belong to his lover .
