So. This was a long time in the making. Ever since I read in his Twitter Feed that Richard Sonnac enjoys dancing (And that 'Boys of Summer' is a favorite song of his). So here's the first of four vignettes about Richard dancing with several people in his life. Things will get shippy.
First up is my Secret World OTP, Richard and Gozen.

The sun shone brightly over Ginpachi Park, as the trees were in full bloom, the smell of their blossoms filling up the sky. Many people decided to take advantage of this beautiful day. Including Richard Sonnac and Gozen. They managed to find some time in their busy schedule to take a stroll around the park.

"Beautiful, isn't it?" Gozen said, seeing how her Templar partner was taking in the sights. The trees, the river, the peaceful quiet…" As she said that, they walked passed a few street gangs, in some sort of dance-off, loud music coming from one of their boomboxes. Richard tried really hard to hide the snigger at the face she was making.

"That wasn't funny." She said, before she couldn't hold back a laugh of her own. "Okay, it was a little funny."

"I don't think they'll do much harm." Richard said, watching the younger people from a distance. It looked like they were having some sort of dance-off… "In fact, it looks kind of fun."

"Such is youth, I guess." Gozen mused.

"You know, we're not really that old ourselves." Richard said as Gozen just smiled wistfully while nodding. "Though we both have… lost some of it when choosing the life we live." He looked at the group of young people dancing, as something reached his ears.

That song… It couldn't be.

It was, as soon as the guitar cords hit, he knew it was that song. The Boys of Summer. Some considered it 'his' song.

"Is something the matter?" Gozen asked, noticing his wistful gaze.

"No. Not at all. It's just that… I really like this song." He admitted. Gozen simply tilted her head.

"It sounds… alright. I'm not really used to modern music." She admitted, smiling a little as she saw Richard tapping his finger on his leg to the beat. Her smile vanished, however, as he flashed a rather mischievous grin. "Richard…. No!" But it was too late as Richard entered the crowd of youngsters and started dancing along. At first there was surprise, but soon they cheered him on. Gozen hid her face, but Richard knew it wasn't just to hide embarrassment as he approached her, extending his hand. She just shook her head.

"Come on. It's not that hard. I'll lead." He tried. A pause, as Gozen carefully took his hand as he pulled her closer gently, slowing down somewhat to help her adjust. "Just let the music guide you. You're doing fine." He said, as Gozen's dancing started to become more and more easy. At the end, Gozen was clearly enjoying herself, and when they were cheered on, she couldn't help but bow as Richard repeated the gesture before somewhat quickly leaving the scene.

"I haven't danced like that in centuries." She proclaimed once they were a good distance away.

"You're not usually one to go for the hyperbole." Richard said. Gozen just smiled.

"I'm not usually one for dancing, either. Certainly not that… wild." She said, making Richard look away a bit shyly. "But for what it's worth, that was a lot of fun." She added, taking Richard's hands as the two shared a smile. "You're certainly one of the more… unique people I've ever met." She admitted.

"As are you." Richard Replied. "As are you."
