"Oh don't you dare look back.
Just keep your eyes on me."
I said, "You're holding back, "
She said, "Shut up and dance with me!"

They had just finished their date and by date he meant that he had brought Megan some food as well as one of her favourite records. They sat chatting about their day as well as talking about the different members of Scorpion. She even asked him about the new issue of Super Fun Guy. After they finished their conversation, they sat comfortably together while a slow song from the record player filled the room. Sylvester didn't recognized the song but Megan obviously did has she sat humming along cuddled up against his side. Sly shot up from his seat disturbing her comfort, she stared up at him as he stood with a huge grin on his face.

"Stand up." He beamed down at her and his whole body vibrated with happiness.

"Why?" Megan watched her boyfriend, a confused look spreading across her delicate features.

"I want you to dance with me."

"Sly you know I cant dance." She shifted in her seat becoming more and more uncomfortable.

"What do you mean you can't dance. You said you used to love dancing." His grin faded away replace by empathy. He wanted to do this for her. He wanted this to be their thing. Something he could do to bring that beautiful smile back that always made her whole face light up.

"Yes. Exactly. Used to." She sighed. "It's a lovely though Sly but..." before she could finish her sentence he was pulling her up. She wobbled a bit but he just repeating reassuring words in her ear.

"I got you. Trust me. I got you." Megan took several heavy breaths, trying to get her footing, using Sylvester as a leaning post. "Stand on my feet." She looked up at him, confused but he just smiled at her. "Stand on my feet. I have you." Once her feet were on his he slowly started to move around. shuffling around the room to beat of the music. Megan wrapped her arms around his neck and allowed him to move her around. Next thing she knew tears were streaming down her face but instead of stopping Sly just held her closer, tighter. They were still dancing long after the song had ended. The tears had stopped flowing now but Sylvester's smile was still in place.


I know this was shown in a Scorpion episode but I just really wanted to write it and listening the Shut up and Dance by Walk The Moon just made me think about it. Anyway hope you liked it :)
