Warblers Hall back entrance. Quiet. Now.
Derek presses send as he leans against the wall behind him, careful not to make any noise as he watches the slender boy twirl in lazy, elegant circles around the centre of the stage. His eyes are glued to Julian as the actor gracefully extends arms and legs, pulling the athlete into his dance. Soft music plays from a lonely boom box near the front of the stage, and Derek recognises the smoky voice of Skylar Grey.
Logan arrives not even a minute later, and he tiptoes to Derek's side. As soon as he sees Julian, his breath hitches. Julian is dressed in form-fitting black leggings that hug him in all the right places, and a loose t-shirt that has slipped off one shoulder, exposing his thin chest and collarbone somewhat. He bends and flows in time with the steady rhythm of the music, displaying an unexpected amount of flexibility.
Silently, the two teens watch their friend as he leaps into the air, legs extended, before landing and immediately twisting his body into a quick series of spins. Neither Derek or Logan are able to take their eyes off Julian's slim form as he sways and weaves his way through the dance, until finally, the song finishes and the hall is still.
Julian collapses slowly – almost haltingly – to the ground, where he lays for several seconds. Derek and Logan can see his chest rising and falling heavily from where they stand. Eventually, Julian rises and looks directly at them.
"Enjoy the show, boys?"
Not sure where I was going with this, but just decided to post it anyway
