not... quite... so open... maestro_ezio December 12 2011, 04:17:09 UTC
[When exactly was the last time Ezio had danced properly? 15? 16? Not that it matters now. He leads Guistina by the hand closely, carefully skirting around other couples while keeping a firm enough grip on her to not lose her among the crowd.]

[She stays silent, letting him lead her gently across the floor until they come to an open space. A smile graces her lips as she--perhaps to his surprise--moves close, placing her arms right where they need to go, in his hand and at his shoulder.

...Awkwardly early.]

I can't stop staring at you.

[He can't help but laugh a little. How formal of her.]

Neither can I.

[A pause. She tenses a little, frowning her usual frown. How does she look so stern in all that makeup? Lush eyelashes, pouty lips... And she still could kill a man with her glare.]

You laughed. Did I do something wrong?

You need to relax, if only a little. This is a dance.

[Unfortunately, her glare can't kill this man, not tonight.]

Isn't that how you're supposed to do it?

[Those eyelashes bounce up and down a few flustered times, and she drops her hands to her sides.]

[He crosses his arms.]

Yes, but to dance, one should not be so tense. Like this.

[He steps in closer, their height differences obvious as he looks down at her. He takes hold of her, shoulders low and relaxed, fingers spread slightly.]

[She closes her eyes for a moment, letting him move her into a more relaxed position. When she opens them again, all she sees is his face, those eyes, that strong jaw, that smirk she can't bear to be without.

She closes the distance between them for a brief kiss.]

[For a moment he is caught off guard, but he settles into returning the kiss.

And, for a moment, he forgets where he is, out in the open, in the middle of the dance floor.]

[It was meant to be only a brief kiss, but she feels compelled to stay there. His lips are warm, and so is his body. When did she get this close?]

[He does not remember when he got so close to her either, and he does not care either. When he breaks away, there is a smile on his face. He rubs his nose lightly against hers once.

He lets go of her waist, loosening his grip on her hand. He twirls her with ease.]

[She's starting to feel like she did that one time by the lake: carefree, enthralled, ready to take on the universe at large with him.

That was when it started, for her, the first moment she knew he was special, important, irreplaceable. And now, like this, she knows something she never thought possible. Really knows it.

She laughs louder than she needs to at being twirled, touching his cheek gently when she's facing him again.]

[He brings her back closer to him with a laugh as well. He feels as if he were a teenager again, without any of his usual worries. What he would give to feel like that more often.

He takes hold of her waist again, relaxed, leaning into her touch.]

[Gazing into his eyes is such an easy way to get lost, so she does. She loves every smirk, every smile, the way they crease his cheek and his forehead, how he doesn't look a day over thirty in her eyes.

And, as if she doesn't want anyone to hear, she whispers:]

I love you.

[He smiles, and he finds it hard to stop smiling.]

I love you as well.

[Her hands rest loosely on the sides of his shoulders, holding him close, and she brushes her lips against his cheek. The way his skin tastes, the pressure his fingers exert, the scent of his cologne: she's lost in the heady feeling she's had all night.

She doesn't know they're under the mistletoe.]
