After that night, they would dance more and more. Each time, their dance would become more intimate. Shion would find his head placed comfortably against Nezumi's shoulder, while Nezumi gripped Shion's waist tighter, bringing Shion closer to him. Both enjoyed each others company. They would often find themselves stopping their dance and just quietly embracing one another. Nezumi would whisper sweet insults into Shion's ear as Shion nuzzled his cheek into the crook of Nezumi's neck and humming back, or grunting as if hurt.
One night, as they were dancing, both boys closed their eyes, indulging in the silent, mellow atmosphere that filled the room. Being as clumsy as he usually was, Shion's feet found themselves tripping over Nezumi's and both fell to the floor, hitting a bookshelf along the way down and piles of books toppling them.
"Are you okay?" Nezumi whispered as if not to disturb the awkward, somewhat intimate silence. Shion only nodded. As he looked down at Nezumi, a delicate pink tinted his face.
"Are you…?" returned he.
"I would be if you would get off me."
"Oh, sorry." Shion stammered, getting up and sitting beside Nezumi. He then began to giggle and broke out into laughter. Nezumi only questioned him.
"What's so funny?"
"Embarrassing. That was embarrassing."
"And you're only realizing this now?" Nezumi sat up, wrapping his arm around Shion's waist, dragging him closer, trying to reconnect the warmth they had before.
"I guess." Shion noticing, only blushed more. Nezumi inched his face closer to Shion's, their breaths mingling with one another. Shion breathed Nezumi's name before his lips were sealed by Nezumi's, indulging in a wet heat.
Nezumi's fingers dug into Shion's side, massaging his skin through his clothes. His other hand, curling around his ear, caressed his skin gently. Shion's hand awkwardly found themselves placed lightly on Nezumi's chest, then, gripping his shirt.
"Nezumi," Shion mewled into the kiss, squirming slightly. He lightly pushed at Nezumi's chest.
"Hm." hummed he, as he tried to maintain capture to those lips once more.
"Nezumi," repeated Shion. Nezumi finally gave up and sighed in frustration.
"What?" Annoyance was obvious in his voice.
"It's just…are we going to…"
"To…?"
"Go all the way today?" Finishing his sentence, Shion smacked his hand over his mouth, feeling that he ruined the mood. Nezumi only stared at him, surprised and then chuckled.
"Such an airhead…" He grabbed at Shion's hand and pulled it away from his mouth and pecked those lips sweetly.
"Not if you don't want to." Shion was somewhat surprised, he was expecting a harsher insult, maybe a scold about ruining the mood. But, to his relief, Nezumi only seemed to put the air back as it was before.
Shion only made an "nh" sound before rejoining his lips with Nezumi's and Nezumi was left to figure out if Shion wants to or not.
