As soon as his feet stepped onto the smooth dance floor all that Brian could think what "What the fuck am I doing here?". Everywhere he looked there were teenagers dancing amid colorful balloons and music. His eyes scanned for Justin and as he glimpsed him dancing with Daphne he walked directly towards him, seeing no one else. It was at that moment that Daphne spied him and motioned for Justin to glance in his direction. Justin's face went blank with shock as Brian continued towards the pair and was soon standing right before them. Justin was dressed in a traditional black tuxedo with a white shirt and black bow tie with his hair gelled. Brian mentally made a note of how adorable he looked. Unable to form any other words, Justin threw a sarcastic comment at the older man.
"I thought you said you wouldn't be caught dead in a room full of eighteen-year-olds."
"I thought I'd recapture my lost youth," Brian answered, running his fingers up the lapel of Justin's jacket so that the meaning of his words were perfectly clear. At this point, Brian turned to Daphne who had shyly looked away.
"You look hot Daphne," he said as he placed a kiss on her temple. "I'd fuck you."
Instantly flustered, she nervously laughed.
"You-you too, Brian," she responded.
"Mind if I borrow your date?" Brian asked turning back to Justin.
Daphne hesitated for a moment before she gently touched Justin's arm and smiled before she walked away. For a moment, Justin simply stared up at Brian waiting to see what his next move was. The two exchanged a look before the older man took his hand in his and pulled him towards the stage, away from the people who gave way for the unusual couple. As if on cue, a new song began as Brian took the scarf and wrapped it slowly around Justin's neck as they began to move together.
You can dance
Every dance with the guy
Who gives you the eye
Let him hold you tight
Their feet moved in rhythm as Brian put one hand on around Justin's waist and clasped the other within his own, bringing their folded hands up and away from their bodies. They both smiled and laughed and Justin placed his other hand on Brian's shoulder as the older man began to lead him in a dance. They glided across the floor, which had been cleared by a circle of confused onlookers who gaped at them in disbelief.
You can smile
If you smile for the man
Who held your hand
'Neath the pale moonlight
Justin's heart was swelling. He could not believe that Brian had showed up and was now dancing with him before his mostly homophobic peers. Brian looked absolutely gorgeous and it was all Justin could do to keep from kissing every inch of his beautiful body. No signs of his previous fear were visible on Brian's face. Justin saw only joy and pride in his lover's visage. Along with what even appeared to be love.
But don't forget who's takin' you home
And in who's arms you're gonna be
So darlin', save the last dance for me
Justin removed his arm from Brian's shoulder and placed it behind his back as the older man raised their hands high and spun Justin around once on his heels before bringing him close again. Back and forth they moved across the smooth floor and Justin felt as if he could die right then and there. It was as if someone had liquefied euphoria and shot it into his veins.
Oh I know
That the music is fine
Like sparklin' wine
Go and have your fun
They looked deeper into each other's eyes as they moved even closer and alluringly pressed their hips together, slowly swaying against each other. Brian smiled and continued to lead Justin around the circle. Never, ever would he have imagined himself here. Dancing with what was supposed to be a one-night-stand. But Justin had triggered something in him from their very first encounter when the youth had appeared to him outside of Babylon. It was the teenager's beauty that attracted him, but he was his innocence that had captivated him.
Laugh and sing
But while we're apart
Don't give your heart
To anyone
Justin's naïveté had humored him when Brian had offered Justin both his drugs and his body. Brian remembered how scared the teenager seemed, like a timid deer ready to run at the first sign of headlights. He had toyed with him until the birth of his son had postponed their game. But Justin came back to the loft with him despite Michael's protests.
But don't forget who's takin' you home
And in who's arms you're gonna be
So darlin', save the last dance for me
On the dance floor, Brian spun Justin around several more times and then pulled him back close against his chest. He remembered that first night, as he'd run his tongue down Justin's back, feeling a new sense of excitement. Never before had Brian been with someone so innocent. The fact that no one before had touched the boy like he was going to was intoxicating. As he'd placed Justin's legs up and over his shoulders he'd heard the trembling voice nervously asking Brian to go slow.
Baby, don't you know I love you so
Can you feel it when we touch
I will never, never let you go
I love you oh so much
He had done as Justin apprehensively asked. In fact, he could not recall ever going any slower or being any gentler than he had been with Justin that night. Not even with Michael on the day that Debbie had interrupted their exploration. Unlike any other trick, Brian continued to kiss Justin as they made love. He's muffled the boy's whimpers with his soothing lips.
You can dance
Go and carry on
'Till the night is gone
And it's time to go
Of course when he woken up he'd been surprised and confused to find Justin's arms around him. He'd been unable to recall what had happened or even what his name was. He had seen the pain in Justin's eyes but had ignored it and showed the teenager where his shower was. As the answering machine reminded him that he was now a father he's heard Justin's yell as the hot water burned him. Regardless, he'd gone and joined him.
If he asks
If you're all alone
Can he take you home
You must tell him no
Justin's hands creeping up his shoulder's brought him back to the present. He'd slipped his hands into his jacket and was slowly inching it off of him. Brian leaned in slightly as Justin did, but just before their lips met, the younger man pulled back and slipped behind him. Tease. He felt Justin's nimble fingers slide the jacket completely off with a sudden jerk down Brian's arms. Grinning, Brian watched as he threw the jacket to Daphne who caught it with a beaming smile.
'Cause don't forget who's takin' you home
And in who's arms you're gonna be
So darlin', save the last dance for me
Justin came into Brian's arms again and placed the scarf back around his lover's neck. As the music went into a continuous stream of violin notes, Brian brought Justin's right arm above his head and proceeded to twirl him all around the circle enclosed by spectators. Justin kept his left arm folded behind his back as he was spun repeatedly before the stunned eyes of students and teachers. His final "fuck you and farewell to St. James Academy". He was soon pulled back tight against Brian and savored the warmth and consolation of his body against his.
'Cause don't forget who's takin' you home
And in who's arms your gonna be
So darlin', save the last dance for me
The younger man almost went into a fit of laughter as he felt Brian's arm tighten around him as his back began to bend. Brian was grinning from ear to ear as he lowered Justin back so far that his head nearly touched the floor and he felt his leg up on his hip. Slowly and carefully Brian pulled Justin back up to him.
Save the last dance for me
With his arm around his back, Brian lifted Justin off his feet and swung him around in many circles with his body pressed against him for support. Before Justin's feet resumed their contact with the floor, Brian's lips were on his. As their swirling stopped the two stood on the dance floor and tasted one another. Their tongues met and danced as their feet had with the same exuberance and Justin caressed Brian's neck with his fingers. It was the most passionate kiss that the two had ever shared.
Save the last dance for me
As their lips parted, they remained close together as they both gave way to brilliant smiles. Then Brian's face became passionate again and he grabbed Justin's hand, swinging him in a circle once more before he led him away. It was some time before the others in the room where able to say anything or before anyone noticed when Chris Hobbes abandoned his date.
