The party started to come to a close as everyone was spending the last hour of it going out into the dance floor. All of the antarctic glacier got up to find a dance partner leaving the new yorkan team alone in the table, but that was fine. They talked amongst themselves, spending some quality time with their own team, laughing and joking around.
Skipper, Kowalski and Rico all silently relished in the fact that they had Private all to themselves for a bit, sitting close by him and hugging the smaller every now and there, before regaining composure.
A final song started to play, every person that was once seated at their tables stood up and headed to the floor to dance to the last song of the night.
"Oh, It's the "Last Christmas" song", Private said as he jumped up from his chair to make his way to the dance floor a large beaming smile on his face. He turned around to look at his teammates, seeing that not one of the men had gotten up to go and dance. "Well, aren't you guys gonna dance?"
"Negatory Private, we're fine as it is", Skipper said, dismissively waving a hand gesturing to the dance floor. "Go on, enjoy the last song"
"Indeed, run along Private", Kowalski said, a sort of sad smile on his face.
"Go ahead", Rico also said looking around, not meeting Private's eyes.
However, Private wasn't buying it. The youngest ran back to his team, taking hold of his commanding officer, lieutenant and superiors hands and dragging them along with him to the dance floor. The older three flushed bright red as they realised what was happening, they eventually stopped in the middle of the dance floor, Private then took hold of their hands and began to dance along with them.
Skipper was first, he clumsily tried to follow Private's footsteps, and gripped at the the smaller's waist a bit too hard when he was losing balance and tempo, but looking down at Private he received nothing more that a sweet cute smile. Skipper smiled back, pulling Private closer to himself using all restraint and will power he had to just not lean forward and kiss the smaller.
Kowalski was soon dragged into the dance with the couple and he adjusted a bit less clumsily to their steps, but was staring to intently at his feet, making sure he wouldn't trip over himself. That was until Private nudged him a bit and giggled at his flustered face, making kowalski blush and smile off to the side.
Private then pulled Rico into the dance circle, Rico was quick to take Private's hand in his own and follow his steps, cutting lose a bit and making silly gestures and moves, making private giggle. Rico's chest fluttered warmly and his smile increased tenfold.
They moved together and unisonly like the team they were, all making the dance be as smooth as possible, adding a few moves of their own during the song. They danced together, laughed together, worked together and ended the dance together with a final pose. Kowalski lifted Private up on his shoulders and Skipper and Rico did jazz hands as the song came to a conclusion, gesturing to private, who was blushing madly, a huge smile on his face.
The crowd that had gathered around them clapped for them, and they all took a bow, before the headed back to their table.
"It was lovely having all of you being able to join us", Said Natalia as she, Nigel and Victor walked them to the door. Their children and the antarctic glaciers followed behind them.
"It was our pleasure, ma'am", Skipper said as he settled into his coat, and helped Private with his. "Thank you for inviting us."
"No problem", She said.
"It was really wonderful to see all of you again", Private said as he gave one last hug to each member of his old team.
"And for us too, ye little clam", Sean said as he gave Private a playful noogie.
"Don't forget to send us a message or something once in a while man", Frank said as he patted Private in the back.
"And have a safe trip back home buddy" Said Markus. Benicio then came up to private a large gift box in his hands.
"Here", Ben said as he handed it over to the younger. "I know that he's not here anymore to tell you this, but I think Ronnie would appreciate you having his things. And never forget he loves you so, so so much" Private sniffled before a tight hug to Benny, catching the italian off-guard, but receiving a hug from him either way. The hug expanded to a group hug before dissipating.
There was a final exchange in goodbyes before the penguins got into Nigel's car to return home. The car was silent as it drove off in the dark streets of london, illuminated by cars and the occasional street lamp. "Did you lads enjoy the party?", Nigel asked while keeping his gaze on the road ahead, nodding his head in satisfaction at receiving a unanimous 'yes'.
Private looked down on the gift box on his lap, his eyes filling with a few sad and happy tears. Gingerly opening up the box and looking inside he found old pictures and clothes, books, and… a small box in the corner. Private reached in and plucked the small box to him, opening it up to find a chocolate box of peanut butter winkies?! Next to them lay a small sheet of paper with the recipe for them on it. Ronnie went through the trouble making a recipe of these for him?
Private smiled gently, holding the box to his heart. "Rest easy, love. I love you too. Merry Christmas", He whispered silently, before smiling and holding out the box of chocolates. "Would anyone like a homemade peanut butter Winkie?"
