Apparently Miss Feral's Revenge has ruined me. Here is my second slash story in just 2 or 3 days. This one is just a little longer!

Dancing in the Dark

By Martana Alexander

Pg.

Brennan sat quietly in the corner booth as he watched Jesse dance with Shalimar and Lexa. He knew that Jesse had not wanted to dance with the girls, but he was not up to giving into the molecular's wishes.

There were things that Jesse would never understand, and why Brennan would not dance was one of them. The older man was reserved when it came to dancing. It confused Jesse that Brennan would not dance with him. He had become used to his lover's ways, and never once had Brennan been bothered by public displays of affection. They would hold hands and kiss in front of anyone, as long as they were not in a situation where it was inappropriate.

As a slow song filled the club Jesse left the girls to dance alone. He made his way back to the table, hoping that Brennan would change his mind and agree to dance.

Brennan sighed as he watched the younger man walk over to him. "Are you having fun with the girls?"

"They're not the ones I want to dance with." Jesse stood by the table, refusing to sit down. "Just come out for one song."

"I told you, Jesse, I don't dance." Brennan stayed in his seat. "Sit down with me for a while."

"Whatever." Jesse sat down and slid closer to Brennan.

Brennan softly kissed him and then put his arm around Jesse's shoulders. "We can have a good time here."

Jesse nodded silently and laid his head on Brennan's shoulder for a moment. "Why wont you dance with me?"

"I don't want to get into this right now. I have my reasons, and I'm going to leave it at that."

"I'm not asking for anything outrageous." Jesse sat up and moved slightly away from Brennan. "It is just one dance."

"I told you, I don't want to go into this."

"Fine." Jesse got up and left the table.

Later that night.

Brennan laid in his bed with only his thoughts to keep him company. It had been a good day until his fight with Jesse at the club. Everything had gone downhill from there. The molecular had avoided him for the remainder of the time at the club; and when they all turned in for the night Jesse had gone to his old room, clearing indicating that he wanted to be alone.

Brennan knew that he had been selfish, it was only his own pride that had prevented him from dancing with Jesse. He would never admit it to anyone, but he was not that great of a dancer. Of course if he lost Jesse his pride would not matter.

The thought of loosing Jesse spurred him into action. He got out of bed and headed for the molecular's room.

Jesse was in front of the computer brooding. He turned to the door when Brennan came in but quickly turned back to his computer.

Brennan put a CD in Jesse's stereo and pressed play, he then walked over to the molecular and turned the computer monitor off, leaving them in complete darkness. "I was a jerk and I'm sorry." he took Jesse's hand. "Dance with me?"

"Alright." Jesse agreed. He stood up and stepped into his lover's arms.

As he danced with Jesse Brennan began to forget his pride and lack of talent with dancing. He softly pressed his lips against Jesse's for a slow kiss. "I love you."

"I love you too." Jesse whispered as they danced in the dark.
