Whirls
The speed of the clapping increases suddenly, in perfect harmony with the drums and guitar, and as the pace speeds up, so does the dance. A swirl of white flutters in the wind, in the midst of a spin; the beat gets louder, faster.
In a single motion, flawlessly executed and angelically performed, she whirls across the stage created by the lone spectator, hair flying. Her feet slap the ground in unison, matching the beats of the music. She bounces to each rise, dips to each fall.
Thundering, dashing, the music quickens and booms, until it reaches a crescendo, then comes to an abrupt end.
He watches from the side, golden eyes fixated on her flowing russet hair, her luscious lips, her perfect form. As she strides over to his seat, he claps viciously, smiling softly. The gypsy woman sits beside him.
When asked if he liked the dance, he replies that there's only one thing in this world he enjoys more.
She inquires, with a smirk, into what that would be. He raises an eyebrow.
She leans into him, blonde meshing with brown fluidly, and due in large part to a hushed smack, the answer goes unheard.
A/N: I've done it again. This one is actually 200 words. I've realized that I can't put a one hundred-word limit on my creativity, so most of these won't be exact drabbles by definition, just short stories. It won't make much of a difference, though. As most will realize, this takes some elements from both Requiem and At Night, my two EdxNoah oneshots that are my pride and joy and combines them into a slightly new setting. I like it, actually.
• I'm used to getting few reviews in comparison to a lot of hits, but four reviews to 320+ hits? That's bull. You have to be some kind of lazy to not be able to type even two or three words like "it's good1!11!one!" or "it was kool!" I mean, come on.
• Now that I have that out...I am accepting suggestions for what the subject of #6 should be, because I can't write a good one right now. If you're all that afraid of reviewing for some ghastly reason, at least PM or e-mail ideas to me...please?
