Pas-de-deux

It was beautiful. A dark sky embedded with twinkling lights and a shy half moon beneath which the lights of the city gleamed cheerfully. Anzu took in the sight and a soft gasp escaped her lips:

"Kaiba-kun, this is…absolutely…incredible…."

They were currently atop the central building of Kaiba Corp, which had been carefully arranged with a table for two in the centre and soft lighting.
Moving towards the table, Kaiba pulled out the chair and motioned for her to sit down.
He noticed the pale blush staining her cheeks, and he couldn't help but admire her.

"Something on my face?" Anzu's voice cut through the silence.

"No."

"Then, what's wrong?"

"Nothing. How do you like the food?"

Kaiba's attempts at conversation were very uncharacteristic, and Anzu giggled at how flustered he looked.

"What are you laughing at?"

"Nothing, nothing…" she waved away the question "the food is really delicious…thanks again."

"Hn…" he cursed himself mentally trying to bite back a smart-alec remark.

"I'm…uh…glad you enjoy it…" 'No way! Did I just stutter!' the sudden realisation was followed by a few more internal curses.

Anzu just smiled.
The rest of the course was eaten in a comfortable silence; two pair of eyes dancing unsynchronised- always watching the other, never meeting.
Upon finishing the last bite, Kaiba set his fork down and enquired:

"Was it to your liking?"

"Oh yes, thank you. It was lovely, really…" she smiled

"So…" he continued "how are your dance lessons going?" he asked slyly.

"Very well, thank you…"

"Care to show me?" he teased, and enjoyed the sudden colouring of her cheeks.

"I would actually!" she half-snapped back, and wondered at the complete lack of surprise on his behalf.

Standing up, he reached out his hand to her, and all of the sudden they were lost to the world, in a rhythm as old as time – a feeling beyond anything words could describe and so much more.
