When We Danced: Letting Go by Rumors

(Oliver and Percy)

Disclaimer: Not mine, just borrowing.

Percy didn't dance. He could dance, yes, but he found it a waste of time. And, he admitted to himself, something that could make a person lose control. Percy was all about control. So that was why, when Oliver showed up to his office one day in a muggle tuxedo with a rose in his hand, Percy almost had a fit.

But Oliver ignored his protests and pulled Percy out of his chair and started to dance to the slow strains of music starting to float about the room. Still protesting, Percy was moved about the room by Oliver, who was blithely dancing on. What made it worse was that the music kept changing every half minute and so did the dance that Oliver was leading them through. It was hard for Percy to adjust so quickly.

Eventually, Percy forced Oliver to pick a damn song. But at least he had backed down and let Oliver stay. Outside the office, Percy's grumbling and Oliver's laughter could be heard just underneath the fast and kicky notes of the Cha-Cha.
