2nd flashback.
Seventeen years old Wallabee Beatles could say whatever he wanted. He could say he hated dances, he could say that they were stupid and didn't worth it, but everyone knew he was good at it. They both were.
He and Kuki Sanban both knew how to dance.
And when they got on the dance floor everyone stopped and looked at them. Everyone stopped dancing and watched them fly.
Because they were good at it, and everyone knew.
And in normal circumstances Wallabee Beatles would have blushed and go away, but this time was different. He didn't care. He was with the most beautiful girl on earth, he was with the one he always wanted to be, he was on cloud nine.
And so they continued dancing, until Kuki Sanban stopped.
"Too many eyes…", she whispered smiling, slightly looking around, Wally smiled too.
"Yeah, you're right…" he said, "Let's go get something to drink…" and he took her by her hand and they walked quickly away from the dance floor. Everyone watched them go away, shrugged, and returned to their dancing.
When at the table with the drinks Kuki looked back at her classmates for a moment and unexpectedly burst into laughers.
"Did you see the look on their faces!" she said and Wally laughed too,
"You're right…" he said but his laughers slowly died down. He looked at the Japanese girl, his friend, and for a brief moment a caring smile appeared on his face.
He loved her, he really did…
"So what do you want?" he tried to ask shortly after, but Kuki looked at him and shook her head.
"Nothing, really, I just wanted to stay alone with you…" she said shyly and Wally bushed, but Kuki didn't notice. "Because I like being with you… it makes me feel so warm and protected…"
Wally blushed again and looked away.
"I like being with you too…" the Aussie whispered and, despite the loud music, Kuki heard him and smiled.
Then the music suddenly slowed down, and everyone in the room started to dance slowly with their partners. Even some teachers in an angle danced, unnoticed to everyone. Kuki watched them for a minute before turning around and smile at Wally.
"Wally! Can we dance?", he watched her smile for a moment, then blushing he said:
"Sure thing…" and slowly took her by her waist, in the meantime she had put her hands on his shoulders and they started to sway.
"Isn't it beautiful?" she said happily,
"You're beautiful…" he whispered slightly adverting her eyes. She looked at him surprised.
"What did you say?" she asked, he looked surprised. "Do you really think I'm beautiful?" and she smiled.
He didn't respond, but remained silent staring at her eyes, and then without thinking, as if he was hypnotized, he leaned in.
And Kuki waited as they closed their eyes together …
And kissed.
