“Come on, Mattie, it’s just like back home!” Alfred called over the music at his brother who was just relaxing next to Francis.
He watched his brother roll his eyes, but smiled. The music was just like what was played at community gatherings their mother took them to as children. There was a western sound that linked back to old American music but a pang of Chinese influence. Elizaveta gave Matthew a shove before she started clapping to the beat and laughing.
“Al-” Alfred grew frustrated and stormed over pulling him in with a loud laugh.
Matthew shrieked as was spun into the music. A cute ten year old girl quickly became his partner in the unorganized dance. Alfred laughed before some older girl whipped him into the dance again. It didn’t take long for the old way of dancing to return to the two. They spun girls and the fact that they had fun returned to them.
They could see the crew laughing and clapping. Ivan dragged Yao in after a bit. Ivan came from a life similar to Alfred and Matthew and new the music well enough to dance too. He always said there was a Russian flare to the music his father help play. Yao was flustered, but the look on Ivan’s face made him forget that and attempt to learn the moves. Francis joined in and kindly asked the ten year old girl if he could dance with Matthew for a bit. Elizaveta was asked to dance by a young teenage boy, who she happily let herself be whisked away with.
Alfred excused himself from dancing, much to the disappointment of his dance partner. He smiled and said he needed some air. However the moment the girl was taken up by another person, Alfred made a b-line for Arthur who was resting atop some crates where the rest of the crew had been relaxing before.
He hurried over as Arthur took a sip of his drink and turned to him as he neared. A hard look came across Arthur’s face when he put the cup down.
“Having fun?” Arthur asked as he put his cup down and swing his dangling feet a bit.
“Yes, it’s like home for me, Art.” Alfred said with a huge smile. “However compared to me, you look like your having a blast over here.”
“Belt up,” Arthur said with a small chuckle as he turned his up to the stars.
Alfred knew instantly he was thinking of his home on a Core planet he could no longer return to without questions. Boarder planets had nothing like Core planets, everything was different. Alfred grew up on a Boarder planet so the music and life was what had grown up with, but Arthur always longed for a trip to something he remembered.
Quickly Alfred snatched up Arthur’s cup and sniffed, smelling the familiar smell of alcohol. Peering at Arthur, he figured it was either his first drink or his second, seeing as how Arthur wasn’t depressed or falling over. He placed the cup back down.
“I miss home too, Arthur.” Alfred said leaning on the crates. “My Ma always said ‘home is where the heart is.’”
A small smile took hold of Arthur’s lips. “Such a sentimental git.” He turned to look at the Captain. “Are you going to ask me to dance?”
“No,” Alfred said and paused for a bit. “Ta ma de ta, ni de wu!” Alfred said tearing Arthur of the crates and onto the dance floor.
Arthur hardly knew any of the dances, but as he stumbled about he was laughing, Alfred as well. However Arthur’s laugh was way better than the music from the band. It was sweet music to Alfred’s ears.
AN: Ah, this is such a FAIL! Another Firefly, I'm really starting to love that Verse, it's so fun and different to do. However it's funny my stories usually take after what I've been watching lately. I only say that because my period piece is going to be a combination of two. Hope you all enjoy!
