Chapter 11

"Smile!" The cheesy photographer held up a clown puppet.

"Are you kidding me?!" Youji laughed. "How old do you think we are? 5? I'm not smiling for no pedo clown!"

"Now now little boy," The photographer made the puppet put its hands on its hips. "Mr. Jiggles is not a pedophile and that is an inappropriate thing to say at your age."

The three cracked up laughing. Even Ritsuka laughed despite himself. "Mr. Jiggles?! Oh my god dude!"

The photographer gritted his teeth. "Just smile for the camera, okay?"

"My my," Natsuo snickered. "Aren't we touchy?"

"Oh dear I hope he's not touchy." Youji wrapped his arms around himself.

"Yeah," Ritsuka giggled. "He's the real pedo."

They laughed till the photographer stomped his foot. "I have five hundred kids to get pictures of tonight and I would like it if you three would just shut up for two seconds and let me take a picture!"

"And what do you plan to do with all those pictures of little children?" Youji raised an eyebrow.

"Or more importantly," Natsuo bit his lip. "What does Mr. Jiggles plan to do with them?"

After five minutes of torturing the poor camera man, the kids finally let him take the picture.

"Ritsuka," Natsuo grabbed the boy's hand when they returned to the dance floor. "Will you dance with me?"

Thankfully Ritsuka was in a better mood thanks to Mr. Jiggles. He was giggling and joking around. "Sure!" He took Natsuo's other hand and placed his other on his pale shoulder.

Natsuo giggled. Both of them swayed back and forth. "I suck at dancing." Ritsuka blushed as he looked down to at his feet.

"It's not going to hurt if you step on them." Natsuo giggled, catching the other's fear. "I'll try not to step on yours though." He winked.

"I'm trying not to trip and fall on you." Ritsuka admitted. "You're a good dancer."

"That could be fun." Natsuo giggled.

Ritsuka blinked.

"Break it up you two!" Youji cut in. "Natsuo, stop hitting on Ritsuka. You know he's too young for that."

"We're the same age Youji." Natsuo giggled. "Besides, I was only playing."

"That's what I'm afraid of." Youji smirked. "Dance with me?" He took Natsuo's hand.

"And why should I?" Natsuo teased.

"Because I can show you a better time." Youji closed the distance between them.

"I'd like to see you try." Natsuo's warm breath tickled Youji's cold ones.

Youji grinned. "Well then…" Youji leaned in for a kiss. "Where shall we begin?"

The burgundy haired boy turned his head away and grabbed his sacrifice's hand. "Let's dance!"

"Where did they learn to dance like that?" Yuiko asked Ritsuka as she sipped on some punch. There was still another one and a half hours to the dance and Youji and Natsuo were acting like this was their last dance.

The Zeros were grinding against each other face to face. Grinning and laughing, Youji placed his hand on the small of Natsuo's back and dipped him lightly before Natsuo stepped back. Then they both started doing a dirty cha-cha.

Yuiko's jaw dropped. "How did they know the music was going to change so quickly?"

"Youji's controlling the music." Ritsuka pointed out the empty DJ booth.

There were cheers all around when Youji grabbed Natsuo's wrist and twirled him into a sweaty quick kiss.

Cheers until the teacher's saw.

"That's enough!" Two teachers grabbed each boy. "This is a one yard distance dance. That means, no grinding and no P.D.A. if we have to tell you again we are sending you home."

"Oh bite me lady." Youji jerked out of the woman's grasp. "What's the fun in a dance if you can't touch?"

"Yeah," Natsuo pulled away from his capture's grip as well. "How else can you dace the waltz?"

"Children like yourselves don't know the waltz." The older teacher rolled her eyes.

"Oh really?" Both boys dared in unison.

"Oh brother." Ritsuka slapped his forehead with his palm while his two friends broke out into a perfect waltz.

They took their bows.

"See?!"

The crowed burst into applause.

A single loud clap echoed through the gym after the crowed died down.

"Bravo." A tall man walked up to them smirking.

"Soubi?!" The three boys echoed with jaws slacked.
