"Antonio...this is ridiculous..." Lovino said as he danced to the upbeat music alongside with Antonio. Antonio laughed lightheartedly, smiling cheerfully to the blushing male.
"Don't be so shy, Lovi. This isn't the first time you danced, hmm?"
"No, but it's the first time I danced alongside with someone else," replied Lovino, taking Antonio's lead. He was admittedly flustered-this was the first time he danced with someone he truly loved. Throughout his life, he danced with many people-strangers in festival, his brother Feliciano in certain occasions, even with Bella. Dance is what he found enjoyable, and dancing with Antonio could've made him forget everything he known about dance. It was the first time he felt that way about a person he cared about as more than a friend, and he didn't want to let it go.
"See Lovino, you can dance the salsa," Antonio said, his voice matching the peppy Spanish music.
"Si, I know I could. Now lets see if you can dance to the flamenco," Lovino challenged in a friendly way, switching parts so he had the lead.
"You know, Lovi," the Spainard started as he caught up to Lovino's speed. "You look actually happy for once. We should dance like this often! I like seeing you with a small smile." Lovino didn't notice on how joyous he was, and then he scowled. But when Antonio lifted his chin up to him, their eyes meeting, he knew he couldn't hide his joyous side for long. As long as he could look at his green eyes forever, he could live without his bad boy attitude.
