A/N: I guess the Tensaishipping break didn't last long.
A/N2: Yes, the title is a dead give away. I'm not that creative.

It takes two to tango
Tune to Route 111 (Desert Theme)
Brendan remained seated by the piano, relaxed. He had time to take a breather. He observed the crowd; some were eating their dinner and chatting freely with their neighbors. Others looked back at the orchestra, anticipating for the next song.
He didn't realize in the blink of an eye he was on the floor too. Brendan vaguely recalls Steven somewhat dragging him along, but it was all too spontaneous for him to recollect. Instead, he was fixated on the fact that his hands were clasped to his partner. The feeling the bits of sheer cold steel pressed against his warm hands. They weren't face to face, but instead back to back. Even without looking directly at him, his chest pounded wildly in anticipation.
Before it started all he heard from Steven was, "I owe you a dance, Brendan."
A trumpet entered, the next round had started. The melodic violin harmony filled the air. The atmosphere changed from a calm waltz to an upbeat tango.
They broke from each other's grasp. He would step forward, Brendan would step back. With back to back, their movements were in perfect sync. It also didn't go by unnoticed either as people's attention were drawn to the pair.
Their movements were never off beat; they moved as one.
As the trumpet reached its high point, Steven made a sharp turn. With one hand rejoined with Brendan's, he used his free hand to support his back. Brendan felt his heart drop at the sudden change in direction. Steven then quickly pressed his lips at the exposed neck. His hand that briefly link with Brendan's pulled away again; only to have his index finger run down Brendan's leg that was held in the air. In a quick flash again, Steven pulls back; fearing Brendan would topple over. The short moment after, Brendan was back on his two feet.
In the background both May and Wally giggled in amusement at their friend's flushing face. Brendan's mother, also, appeared deeply amused as well, his father on the other hand stroked his beard and made note of their movements – clear, crisp, and clean.
Indeed, their movements were all of that as the two tangoed across the floor. Their synergy radiated passion, romance, and drive. Together they were a perfect match.
One last spin, Brendan would face the crowd with Steven right behind him. One of his arms overhead and the other pressed against his stomach – both being gripped by Steven's light grasp.
At the close of the violin, he briefly hears Steven whisper, "I love you." With his lips pressed against the back of his head. The room bursts into applause at the show.
Both made their bows. And with hand in hand again, both made their way back to the orchestra to continue the celebration.
A/N4: Am I the only one that noticed this would seriously make a good tango song?
A/N5: I don't know if this is actually legal in real Tango Dancing or not, and I don't care. It's legit in my head.
A/N6: From here on out it's a break from Tensaishipping – I would imagine everyone would appreciate that.
