A Dance For Two

Rachel and Kairi were walking down the street, having a great time as they had just done some shopping and found some good stuff. "I can't wait to try on these dresses," the brown-haired girl said.

The blonde-haired girl smiled before seeing a small creature up ahead and she smiled. "Hey, Balan must be nearby," she said, pointing out the Tim to her friend.

Kairi gasped and smiled. "Let's go see," she said.

They followed the Tim and saw the theater, to which they ran towards it and went inside. "Balan?" Rachel called out curiously.

"Are you home?" The brown-haired girl asked.

Amused laughter rang through the hallways before Balan himself appeared, spinning around rapidly before stopping in front of the girls and bowing. "Welcome, my dears!" The maestro said before straightening up and grinning at them, holding his arms open for a hug.

Both girls at once ran into his arms, hugging their friend while Kairi blushed a bit, looking up at the maestro as her heart beat faster. He smiled at them, kissing Rachel's forehead before giving Kairi and gentle kiss on the mouth. "How are you both?" He asked.

"We're good, Balan," Rachel said.

"We went shopping today and found some neat stuff," Kairi said.

"Oh?" The maestro asked curiously.

Rachel grinned. "Yeah, Kairi found some really neat dresses," she said before looking at her friend, who blushed a little.

"Well, I hope they fit me well," the brown-haired girl said.

"I would love to see you in them, if you are alright with that, my dear," Balan said, placing a gentle hand on Kairi's shoulder, making her smile at him.

Seeing this, Rachel discreetly left the room, smiling at the couple before she vanished around the corner.

Kairi blushed a bit. "I...I actually picked out the dresses because...they made me think of you," she said to Balan, who grinned.

"Well then, would it be too bold of me to ask you to model them for me, my dear?" He asked.

"Not at all," she said, kissing him. "I'd be happy to."

While she wanted to model the dresses for him, she was also nervous too, hoping he'd like them.

Snapping his fingers, Balan made a changing curtain appear before he stepped back, allowing the girl he fell for her privacy and she went behind the curtain, changing into a dress that was a lovely blue and sparkled as the light caught the tiny rhinestones in it. She stepped out so that Balan could see and his eyes widened when she did.

"Wow," he said in amazement. "You look lovely, my dear."

"You really like it?" She asked bashfully.

"Yes," he said, getting up and going up to her, taking her hand. "It looks like you're going to a dance."

Kairi blushed. "I...I've actually never gone to a dance before," she admitted. "I...I've never danced with anyone before."

A gentle hand moved her face to where she was looking up at Balan, who smiled at her. "Then dance with me, my sweet Kairi," he said, taking her hand and guiding her to the middle of the room. He snapped his fingers and a soft song began to play.

"Balan?" The brown-haired girl said, looking nervous. "I...I really don't know what to do."

He smiled and gently pulled her closer, placing his left hand on her right side and guiding her right arm to rest on his left arm while his right hand reached for her left hand and he very gently grasped her hand, allowing her to grasp his hand too. "Just follow my lead, my dear," he said. "And don't worry."

She took a deep breath and felt him lead her into a waltz. She did her best to follow, but she felt like her legs were wooden sticks, which the tall being noticed and paused in dancing, smiling gently. "My dear, what are you so nervous about?" He asked gently.

"I...I've never danced with a partner before," she admitted. "What if I step on your feet?"

She gasped as Balan pulled her closer to him again and he smiled. "Then stand on my feet, Kairi," he said gently.

She blinked. "What?" She asked. "But...,"

A gentle hand rested over her mouth. "Trust me," he said softly.

Kairi nodded after a moment and took a deep breath, standing on Balan's feet. "If...If your feet hurt after a while, let me know, okay?" She asked.

Balan kissed her gently. "Don't worry, my love. I'm much stronger than I look," he said before he began moving again. And this time, she felt a little more confident and she was quite surprised that Balan could move his feet with her standing on them. She smiled at him before a new song came on and she took a deep breath, smiling at the tall maestro.

"Okay, I think I'm ready to try without standing on your feet," she said.

"Are you certain, my dear?" He asked.

She nodded. "Alright then," he said, holding still as she stepped off his feet and smiled up at him before he began moving and she followed his lead. Very soon, they were both dancing and Kairi was following her lover's lead gracefully as he led her back to the changing curtain and she smiled, slipping behind it and out of his sight before changing fast and she stepped out in a silver dress that sparkled all over like the maestro's suit and he smiled as he gazed at her in it. "Beautiful," he breathed out.

She smiled. "Thank you," she said before gasping as he gently lifted her up into his arms and kissed her soundly. She returned the kiss, holding onto him as he held her closer, his tongue gently brushing over her lips and she allowed him entry, her grip tightening as she began to feel a bit dizzy from the loving kiss.

"Balan," she breathed out.

"My lovely Kairi," he said, his voice going deeper.

She smiled. "I have one more dress," she said.

He smiled. "I bet it will be just as lovely as these last two dresses have been," he said.

She smiled again before going behind the curtain and soon stepping out in a red dress that was both modest, yet pretty. She looked shyly away as Balan couldn't take his eyes off her and he gently turned her to face him. "You look stunning," he said. "You picked out some good dresses, my love."

Kairi blushed a bit. "You like them?" She asked. "All of them?"

"All of them," he said before pulling her closer to him as a love song came on and they danced together once more.

Rachel, who was watching, smiled as she made sure the selection she picked out were love songs while she headed away, knowing the two would be dancing for a while longer.

As for Kairi and Balan, they continued to dance and kiss, their eyes only on each other.
