Damien grinned back and followed Eric. “Who’s the band playing?”
All's Fair in Love Songs And War (OxO) {OPEN}
"Honestly? Didn't catch the name." He said, laughing slightly.
Damien laughed, snorting a bit. “So you don’t know the band and don’t like love songs, but you still wanna be near the stage?”
"Why not? It's always fun near the stage." He smiled, turning to walk backward so he could face Damien.
“Eh, you’re not wrong,” Damien grinned. “As long as it’s not hella crowded.”
"Yeah, true." He said, shrugging.
“We’ll stick together, yeah? I wanna see if you can dance.”
"Sounds great!" WaitIdon'tknowhowtodance-
Wading into the crowd, Damien grabbed Eric’s hand. “C’mon!”
Eric smiled, following him. I'll be fine, it can't be that hard-
Once they were closer to the stage, Damien took Eric’s other hand, grinning. “You good?”
"Yep!" He said, smiling nervously. HEHASBOTHMYHANDSANDHOWDOIDANCE-
Damien tilted his head. “Nervous, Ira?” he teased, getting closer to Eric. “This was your idea.”
"I'm not nervous." He countered, taking a small step closer. "I know what I got myself into." No I do not-
“Yeah?” Damien smirked slightly, gaining confidence. “Prove it.”
"I will." He said, letting go of one of his hands to spin him. This works, right?
Damien laughed, surprised at Eric’s move. “Not bad!”
"Told you I knew what I was getting into." He smirked slightly, trying to hide that he was letting out a breath of relief. Okay, so far, so good-
Damien grinned and tugged Eric closer. “Can you keep it up, though?”
"Maybe I can." He said, trying to remember the last time he saw two people dance together in some form of media, in a way that didn't involve grinding. He carefully placed a hand just above his waist, leading him in a few steps in an attempt to recreate something he saw at some point. Please help what am I doing I probably look so stupid right now-
Damien’s eyes widened in surprise, but he grinned and rested his free arm on Eric’s shoulder. We’re dancing together. His hand is on my waist. I might not survive this—
Eric hummed, swaying slightly. I'm gonna die-
Damien leaned in a little more, looking up at Eric’s face. Oh god oh god oh god—
Eric looked down, smiling nervously. Holy shit holy fuck oh my god-
Damien made the mistake of glancing at Eric’s lips. No, stop, don’t do this to yourself— Flushing, he looked away. “So, ah, you’re not bad at this, Ira.”
"I know." He said, smirking. OKAY GOOD I'M DOING OKAY ALRIGHT-
Damien flushed darker, biting his lip. MY HEART WAS NOT MADE TO TAKE THIS
Eric blushed darkly. I'M GONNA DIE I'M GONNA DROP DEAD-
Go big or go home… Don’t fuck this up
Glancing up at Eric again, Damien moved closer, almost pressed up against the other.
GOD WHAT AM I DOING
Eric looked down at him, feeling his heart pound. Wait what is he doing what's happening am I dreaming nope this is a dream he hates me in real like Jesus fuck pull it together Hyman oh my god can he feel my heart in my chest what is he doing-
