Chapter 10
Brown met blue and Watanuki flushed. "DON'T STARE AT ME LIKE THAT! JUST ANSWER THE DAMN QUESTION!"
"Whatever, not like I have anything else to do that day."
The vein on Watanuki's forehead pulsed. "SO I'M JUST A LAST RESORT AM I? WHY YOU, I SHOULD STRANGLE YOU! BUT I WON'T, JUST BECAUSE I'D LOOSE MY DATE, THE BALL IS COMING UP VERY SOON!"
And come it did. Before anyone knew it, the ball was upon them.
In the Ravenclaw common room, Fay and Tomoyo admired themselves briefly in their dress robes. "Watanuki! Hurry up! You'll miss your date!" Fay called up to the dorms above.
"Go meet with my cousin Fay, I'll make sure he goes to meet his own date."
Fay laughed before exiting the common room and sprinting down to meet Kurogane in the Great Hall. He wasn't surprised to see Yukito already there waiting for Touya.
"How rude to make such pretty boys wait so long." Fay jumped, as did Yukito.
"You shouldn't scare people like that Seishirou!"
The dark haired male laughed as he waited for Subaru to make his entrance. Kamui plopped down as well and they were soon joined by Hokuto and Tomoyo, who assured Fay that Watanuki had gone, it was just taking time.
"WHERE ON EARTH IS EVERYONE, I WANT TO DANCE!" The only couple they had seen so far was Sakura and Syaoran, both blushing furiously as they walked.
In the Hufflepuff common room, there was a bit of commotion, Kurogane and Fuuma were fighting over the hair-styling gel and now they were a tangled mess on the floor, leaving Subaru to blink at them. He wasn't sure if he could go out looking like this, but then he'd be standing Seishirou up for a date HE proposed so long ago.
"Damnit Fuuma, you had to be stubborn didn't you?!"
"ME! YOU HAD A FREE PERIOD BEFORE I DID! I DIDN'T GET OUT OF CLASS UNTIL THEY RELEASED US EARLY TO GET READY. INSTEAD OF PUTTING THE MOVES ON FAY," Subaru blushed at this statement. "YOU COULD'VE DONE YOUR FLIPPIN' HAIR!"
"Um…excuse me, but we're going to be late."
Brown and red eyes looked up at Subaru, he was fiddling with the collar of his dress robes.
"Fine, I'll go as is." Fuuma disentangled himself from Kurogane and brushed himself off before running his hand through his brown hair. It was weird not seeing it spiked this way and that way, with it down, he ALMOST looked like Seishirou, just taller and broader shouldered.
Kurogane got up and went about styling his hair.
"Just hurry up, you don't want to keep Fay waiting all night." Putting his hand on the small of Subaru's back, he all but pushed his fellow fifth year out the common room. "And you don't want to keep my brother waiting do you, Subaru?"
Subaru shook his head and started to walk.
Fay, Yukito, Kamui and Seishirou were awaiting their dates. They heard footsteps coming down the stairs, and there was Touya.
He walked over to Yukito, holding a moonflower in his hand. Yukito smiled, and the two of them shared a brief kiss. They started walking to the middle of the floor to join a few of their friends in conversation as some cheesy intermission song played.
Kamui was so absorbed into watching the couples that he didn't hear the soft footfalls behind him, until a pair of arms grabbed him causing him to jump and yelp in surprise.
Hearing a familiar laugh Kamui cursed. "Damnit Fuu-ma." Kamui had turned around to get a proper look at his boyfriend before he smacked him one.
His hair wasn't styled like a porcupine and he wasn't wearing those RIDICULOUS glasses. A flush found its way to Kamui's face.
"I'm happy to see you too." A kiss to the neck causing Kamui to blush up to his ears.
"S-S-TUPID! NOT HERE!"
Another laugh and then the sound of a hand hitting another hand. "Great plan, dearest elder brother of mine!"
If it were possible without eating enchanted candy, there would steam coming out of Kamui's ears. "YOU PUT HIM UP TO THIS?!"
Seishirou laughed slightly, "I did suggest the public display of affection, he put his own twist on it however."
"I'm going to poke your eyes out!"
A blur of green whizzed past them and clung to Seishirou. The green blur was, of course, Subaru's dress robes.
"Ah, at last, my Subaru." Bending down he gently kissed Subaru's right eye, the same eye that had been cut by a curse last month.
Subaru blushed slightly at the gesture, he was slowly getting used to the public display of affection. Yuui came up next, walking next to Syaoran.
Fay raised an eyebrow, this was Yuui's crush? Perhaps Fay should go over and ask him. Getting up, he started to head in that direction, only to feel a hand clasp around his wrist.
"Oi, you hound me about coming to this stupid thing and then I see you trying to take off."
Fay locked his eyes on Kurogane, it looked as though the boy had gotten ready in a hurry. "HA! After that fight with the hair gel, you half-assed it!" Fay snickered reaching into his sleeve and withdrawing his wand. Muttering words under his breath he fixed Kurogane's messy hair.
"Where are the loud kid and his date?"
Fay shook his head.
"Idiot, he's in your house and you don't know."
"NEVER MIND THINKING ABOUT FOOD! WE'RE ALREADY LATE!" Music had already started playing, and most of the students were randomly bouncing or dancing with each other. Watanuki and Doumeki came down the stairs, Watanuki's face as red as Kurogane's eyes.
A slower song started to play and Touya offered his hand to Yukito and pulled him onto the dance floor.
Whenever I'm alone with you,
You make me feel like I am home again.
Whenever I'm alone with you,
You make me feel like I am whole again.
Most people gave them their space and let them waltz across the floor, Yukito's head rested on Touya's shoulder.
However far away,
I will always love you.
However long I stay,
I will always love you.
Whatever words I say,
I will always love you.
I will always love you.
As the song ended, the two of them shared a very sweet kiss that resulted in a round of applause. Yukito's face was flushed pink as they broke apart from their kiss.
"WOO!"
"HYUU!"
"Wonderful!"
Between Hokuto, Fay and Tomoyo, who was filming the whole ball, Yukito blushed more.
"You know something Yuki, we've been together for about five years now, and I think it would be wonderful if once we both graduate next year, if you would marry me."
More cheers and catcalls from their friends. Yukito couldn't speak, he merely nodded and hugged Touya, who captured Yukito's lips in a kiss as he slipped the band on his finger. All of their friends congratulated them on their engagement.
Fay sniffled next to Kurogane. "That was so beautiful, wasn't it Kuro-tan?"
"…..Don't get any ideas."
"Aw, Kuro-rin, you don't want to marry me one day?"
"I didn't say that you idiot, just that that's our business."
The song that was playing had ended, starting a new one that caused Fay to grab Kurogane's hand and yank him to the dance floor. Fay for the most part was leading the dance.
I wanna kiss you,
But if I do then I might miss you babe.
It's complicated and stupid,
Fay leaned in and almost kissed Kurogane before pulling back.
"Damn tease." Kurogane growled as he pulled Fay closer.
Hold me and love me,
Just want to touch you for a minute,
Maybe three seconds is enough for my heart to quit it.
As they moved across the floor, Kurogane turned to Tomoyo. "SHUT THAT DAMN THING OFF!"
"Ohohohoho, this is too good to pass up Kurogane! Uncle and Auntie will love to see their only son dancing at his first and only ball."
Fay yanked Kurogane back over to him.
Let's play a love game,
Play a love game.
Do you want love or you want fame?
Are you in the game?
Dans le love game?
When the song came to an end, Fay planted his lips on Kurogane's causing the taller teen to blush. "DAMN IDIOT WIZARD!"
Fay ducked the punch before it came and took off running off laughing. "Aren't you a wizard too Kuro-tan?"
Kamui had come to the conclusion he was surrounded by crazy people. His sister was looking for a boy to dance with her. Fuuma and his brother were basically doubled over from laughing so hard at Fay being chased by Kurogane. Until the next song kicked in and Fuuma's hand grabbed Kamui by the wrist and dragged him out to dance.
Kamui awkwardly followed Fuuma to the dance floor. They had never danced together before, and he wasn't even sure if he could dance. Fuuma didn't seem to care.
When Kamui heard the song his whole face flushed red right up to his ears. He tried to squirm to get away, but Fuuma's grip was too tight on him.
"Go with it Kamui, you want a night to remember don't you?" Fuuma's breath was hot on Kamui's neck and Kamui had to bite his lip to suppress a moan.
If you want to taste me,
Try my paradise.
Come, and feel up my desire.
You can please me,
Taste me,
Take me to the sky;
Baby, we can burn like fire.
As they moved Kamui's blush deepened. Where on earth did Fuuma learn such dance moves? Remembering who Fuuma's older brother was sent chills down his spine. Fuuma's strong hands had found their way to Kamui's hips. Trying to relax, trying to forget that everyone was watching them, Kamui let him.
I can take you places,
Show you all my faces;
No, I don't wrap the paces,
We're gonna be there.
Do you wanna hold me
When I feel lonely?
Slowly you consume me,
Angel of mine.
By now Kamui had been dipped backwards, his head and back being supported by Fuuma's strong hands and arms. One of Fuuma's legs was in-between Kamui's, causing him to blush. He was left like a doll in Fuuma's arms, and was powerless against his kiss.
" WHOO! GO KAMUI!"
Kamui's blush darkened at his sister's cat calls. After they broke apart Kamui's legs felt like jelly and he couldn't stand properly.
Fuuma laughed and guided him to sit down. Another high five to his brother.
Standing next to Seishirou was Subaru whose face was bright red, but his eyes were full of determination. Everything he had seen tonight had inspired him. So when the next song started, he grabbed Seishirou's hand and pulled him to the floor.
"My Subaru, you've been full of surprises lately."
Subaru grinned and lead them into a dance.
When you walk into the room,
You pull me close and we start to move.
And we're spinning with the stars above
And you lift me up in a wave of love.
Subaru felt his feet lifted off the ground as he was lifted up and spun around. The faint blush on his cheeks was outshone by his bright smile. Subaru's feet returned to the ground and the two of them danced. Much like with Touya and Yukito's dance, everyone seemed to want to give them their space, it seemed it was magical. After everything that had happened as of late, with Subaru getting attacked by Fei Wang Reed (who wasn't present, and apparently was hiding in the common room, too scared to be near Seishirou), and for him to be smiling was amazing. The two of them were moving as one being.
In this world we're just beginning
To understand the miracle of living.
Subaru had turned to face Seishirou staring at him with his dark green eyes. He received a smile in return, a real smile and that gave Subaru all the confidence he needed.
Baby, I was afraid before
But I'm not afraid anymore.
He grabbed Seishirou by his robes and pulled the taller man into a passionate kiss. He felt his lover's breath hitch in surprise at Subaru's forwardness in front of everyone. Seishirou found Subaru's thin waist as they kissed. They split after a few moments, out of breath and cheeks flushed, but both smiling. When they finished their dance, they got a round of applause to which Subaru blushed and Seishirou laughed and bowed. He sat down and pulled Subaru to sit on his lap. He pressed his lips close to Subaru's ear.
"I think you should come over my place on New Year's Eve."
Subaru blushed and looked at him. "I'll have to ask my grandmother, but I'd love to!"
"YOU TWO SHOULD REALLY GET A ROOM!"
Subaru flushed a dark red and hid into Seishirou's chest. He felt the arms around him tighten and sighed in content. He didn't care about the rest of the room, right now all that mattered to him (as selfish as it may sound) was staying here in Seishirou's arms.
As the next song came on Watanuki approached Doumeki. "Do you want to dance?"
"Whatever."
Watanuki clenched his fist as if he wanted to punch him but thought better of it."I GET IT, YOU'RE AFRAID BECAUSE YOU CANT DANCE!"
Doumeki didn't answer, he just led Watanuki in the dance and of course, Watanuki was proven wrong. The taller boy and Watanuki moved somewhat gracefully, Watanuki stumbled a few times.
Because when the sun shines, we'll shine together,
Told you I'll be here forever,
Said I'll always be your friend
Took an oath, I'mma stick it out to the end
As much as Watanuki hated to admit it, over the course of the last four years Doumeki HAD been there for him. Even when he got his heartbroken by his childhood sweetheart. Just because he was a wizard and she wasn't, or something like that.
These fancy things will never come in between
You're part of my entity, here for infinity
When the war has took its part
When the world has dealt its cards
If the hand is hard, together we'll mend your heart.
He found himself blushing. Why was he blushing, they were only dancing.
You can run into my arms
It's okay, don't be alarmed, come in to me,
There's no distance in between our love.
So go on and let the rain pour,
I'll be all you need and more.
Watanuki felt himself being drawn closer. His cheeks flushed red as he was pressed against the boy. Their dance didn't end with anything special, just a kiss to Watanuki's forehead causing the boy to flail about…
The rest of the night went by nicely. Most of the couples had taken to themselves. Watanuki shyly shuffled around, sitting next to Doumeki, and Yuui was shyly glancing at Syaoran.
Hokuto leaned to Tomoyo, "I think we need to give them a push in the right direction."
Tomoyo smiled at Hokuto. "I think so too, we'll start first day back on term, you have an owl right? Use it to keep in contact over Christmas break!"
Hokuto grinned and nodded. "I'll do that."
