As Kevin walked to his hotel room, he could feel his cheeks burning. The boy in the elevator had stirred up feelings he had never felt before. Well at least, not for a boy. He thought about the redhaired boy for hours that night, letting his mind wander as he tried to fall asleep. When he eventually drifted off, all he saw was Connor. It was driving him mad.

Kevin swung his legs over the side of his bed, unable to sleep despite being so exhausted. He pulled on a pair of jeans, his Chiefs sweatshirt and slipped on his running shoes. As quietly as possible, Kevin tiptoed out of the room, taking his room key in his pocket. He gently closed the door and walked down the hall. Humming gently in the silence, Kevin nearly hit the roof when he heard a voice.

"Hi there," said a somewhat familiar voice. Kevin whirled around and saw the redhead from the elevator lounging on a futon. The brunette quickly pasted a smile on his face to distract the other boy from his blushing. The boy waved his hand over the couch.

"Care to join me, Kevin?" Kevin eagerly smiled and nodded, cursing his awkwardness.

"Connor, right?" The red-haired boy nodded. The two sat in an uncomfortable silence for a moment before Connor spoke again.

"You excited for tomorrow? Big competition, I've heard." Kevin nodded.

"Yeah, I hear this one team has an incredible dancer who dances during this one song. I think it's Mad World or something? Yeah, that sounds right," the brunette mused. He laughed when he saw Connor blushing fiercely. "What?" he laughed.

"That's me, or at least I think it is. And I'm not that good!" Connor ducked his head so Kevin wouldn't see his 'tomato face' as his friends called it. The other boy grinned and put a hand on his shoulder. Connor turned to see his beautiful face very, very close to his own.

"Well, why don't you show me?" Connor tilted his head in confusion. The brunette licked his lips tantalizingly, tempting the blushing boy to close the distance between them.

"Your dancing. Show me. I think there's a ballroom on this floor," Kevin remarked. Connor felt a lump grow in his throat, so he just nodded. The brown haired boy flashed him a dazzling grin and grabbed his hand, dragging him down the hall. Not that Connor was complaining.

The two reached two closed doors. They shared a look and Kevin opened it slowly, hoping not to wake anyone. Connor slipped inside and paused, causing the other boy to bump into him. He looked up at the perfect face that was smiling down at him encouragingly. The boy stepped forward, then looked back at Kevin quizzically.

"I don't have any music! How can I dance without music?" Kevin looked around the room.

"Aha! There's a piano – I can play the song and sing it for you and you can dance!" Connor nodded and took his start position. Kevin just admired his lithe body before rushing to the piano.

As he began to play, he watched Connor move and glide around the room. Kevin sang and play, impressed that he could stay focused enough to do so. The red-head looked so peaceful and beautiful when he danced, his body curving and bending perfectly. As they drew near to the end of the song, Kevin quietly stood and began making his way over to the dancer, still singing. Connor spun on his toes and accidentally slipped. Kevin quickly caught him, the other boy's body pressed against his. Connor looked up at the tall boy as he quietly finished the song, still holding him closer than anyone had ever held him before.

As Kevin's voice faded away, Connor turned in his arms to face him. The brunette placed his hands on his hips and leaned down, pressing their lips together. Connor was stiff for a moment out of shock, then he wound his arms around Kevin's neck to pull him closer. The two kissed for a few precious moments before pulling away. Connor placed his forehead on Kevin's shoulder.

"Wow," he whispered, unable to say much more.

"I know, Connor. That was..."

"Perfect." Connor looked up at him and Kevin smiled at him before kissing his hair.

"Yeah, perfect."
