Day 20 – Dancing
Mariku sipped his glass with slouched shoulders. Since the meal was over, he was bored. Malik next to him tapped his foot and that annoyed him. He tried to distract himself by observing the dancing crowd. He was out of patience for this damn wedding. He was glad, Malik had only one sister. He rested his head onto his palm and closed his eyes.
"Mariku. Mariku." Malik touched him on the shoulder and Mariku startled.
"What," he yawned.
"I want to dance."
"And?"
"With you."
Mariku sighed. "I don't dance," he explained briefly and rested his head back on the palm.
"Please, it's the last dance."
"Can we go home then?" Malik nodded. "Can I fuck you the rest of the evening?" Another nod. "Okay." Mariku stood up and held out his hand. Smiling Malik took his hand and let him usher to the dance floor. "But don't complain if I step on your feet."
"No," Malik said softly and snuggled up to his boyfriend.
"You have to lead, because I don't know how this works."
Malik laughed. "I also have no idea."
"What are we doing here then?"
"I just wanted to dance with you."
Mariku put his arms around Malik and gave him a kiss on his temple. "You're a little crazy."
"Yes, for you."
"Don't get cheesy."
"We are at a wedding; this is the best place to be cheesy."
Slowly they moved to the beat of the music. Malik's head rested on Mariku's shoulder and his eyes were closed. He enjoyed being so close to his loved one. To his surprise Mariku had now taken the lead, and even showed some sense of tact. Malik was pleasantly surprised. But dancers were good in bed as the saying goes. He chuckled.
"What is it?"
"Nothing," Malik replied and looked up. He kissed Mariku. "You're just wonderful as always."
"Oho, is that really you?" replied Mariku laughing. "I'll remind you of these words, when you're mad at me the next time." Smiling Malik placed his head again on Mariku's shoulder and let him get swayed away from the beat. He was close to falling asleep.
The music faded away and there was one last round of applause. Malik stepped one step back from Mariku, but still held his hand.
"Can we go home now?"
"Yes," Malik said, and yawned. He leaned against Mariku.
"Good, because being this close really turned me on."
Malik laughed. "You're incorrigible."
