Thank you to magicathe for following this!
Sequel to SAC #87 "Dance" and inspired by different things. For one, I wanted to write something for that "Imagine your OTP dancing and one of them sings the song lyrics" post; for another, I was searching the internet for inspiration to keep this drabble light-hearted/romantic and discovered that ranked "Love Story" and "Hey There, Delilah" higher than "Iris," which is a LIE. On top of all that, TRON's been on my mind lately, leading me to conclude that Xion eventually gets a copy of an ENCOM laptop after the Grid awakens. And finally, I wanted to keep this drabble more romantic/light-hearted since the last few were written as heavy-hitters… Enjoy!
They're not even dancing anymore—they've devolved from formal posture to nothing, just an embrace while whatever music Tron pulled up at Xion's request keeps playing.
"I know this song." Tucked against Riku's chest, Xion can feel the vibrations of his voice accompanying his heartbeat. "They played this at the one, awful dance I went to at school."
"How'd it make it into the Grid?"
Riku shrugs, stroking her hair before resting his hand on her head, pulling her closer. "You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be," he murmurs along to the melody, and Xion smiles to herself.
May the Fourth be with you! And beware... for tomorrow comes the Revenge of the Fifth!
