Characters: Edgar Valden and Luca Balsa

Third Person POV

"Eddy! Eddy! You gotta see this!" The brunette inventor darts down the hallway towards his beloved painter's room, a piece of folded paper in hand. The man tripped a few times on his way but managed to stay up on both feet. He stops at the dark wooden door and knocks on it excitedly. "Eddyyyyyy! Open up!"

After a few minutes there was a click and a few grumbles and curses coming from the other side of the door. Behind it was the painter himself, hair down in a mess, and light circles underneath his eyes from sleep. "Balsa it's 4 in the damn morning go to bed...." His voice was groggy but still had that tone of annoyance towards the other.

"No no!! I gotta show you now or I'll forget!" The taller points to his piece of paper in hand, a grin on his face as well to show his excitement.

Edgar's eyes look from Luca's dark grey orbs to the paper in his gloved hands. He blinks slowly, still recovering from just being woken up. "Luca I swear-"

"It'll only take a second! I promise" He sticks his hands out in front of himself as he bobs up and down on his heels.

The shorter brunette let's out an audible sigh, pinching the bridge of his nose. "Fine..." He opens the door for the other man, stepping to the side. He had to admit, he had a soft spot for Luca.

"Yay! Thanks Eddy!~" The inventor quickly let's himself into Edgar's room, not bothering to take a seat anywhere.

Edgar closes the door behind the man and steps over towards him, waiting to see what he wants. "Well get on with it, you're wasting my time for beauty sleep.."

"Here, look!" Luca takes his piece of paper and unfolds it carefully, it was pretty decently sized. As he unfolds it he begins to place it on the floor beside their feet, on it looked like outlines of shoes.

"A paper full of shoeprints-"

"No, it's to help guide someone to dance! With a partner too" The inventor smiles, taking a step away so Edgar could look properly. "Are you awake enough to try it?" He asks.

"You came to my room at 4 am just to dance with me?"

"No! Well maybe... Yes- heheh..." Luca rubs the back of his neck with his hand sheepishly, looking downward. "You'll try it with me though, right?" His voice was still full of enthusiasm. "Only for a few minutes?"

Edgar let's out a soft yawn, a hand coming up to conceal his mouth. "Fine, but you're leading"

Luca's eyes sparkled with joy as he heard his love's answer, he then grabs both of Edgar's hands to tug him closer. "Line your feet up with the ones here, see?" He points a finger down towards the footprints next to Edgar's feet.

The painter swats Luca's hand away, giving him a small glare. "I know what to do, don't boss me around" He sets his feet on the prints and looks back up at Luca.

The taller brunette simply smiles and lines his own feet up before holding one of Edgar's hands to the side and setting the other on his waist. He waits for the shorter male to adjust his hands before slowly begining to move, following the footprints below him.

It didn't take long for Edgar to catch on and follow, and the two slowly glided across the paper together. The only thing heard was the crunch of the paper beneath their feet, and the tap from Luca's boots. There wasn't any music but that didn't matter. The two didn't need music, the company alone blocked out any sound.

The two did begin to pick up a little speed as they went on, even moving away from the paper and around the room. The inventor let out a giggle as he dipped his lover in the middle of their dance. As much as Edgar wanted to be mad at him he couldn't, and a very small smile snuck across his lips. Even after being woken up out of no where Edgar still found joy in this, it was with Luca after all. The other man made him happy. He felt loved... He felt appreciated...

The two danced until sleep was beginning to take over the painter once again, his eyes becoming half lidded with exhaustion and his dancing pace slowing. As they slowed down, his head leaned in to rest on the Prisoner's chest, sleep threatening to take his consciousness away.

"Aw, I did wake you up too early didn't I? I'll let you sleep!" Luca pecks the top of Edgar's head gently, carefully leading him back towards his bed so he could lie down. "Sleep well darlin' " He lays the blanket atop the smaller man before leaning down to grab his paper from the floor. Although, he was stopped by a tug on his sleeve.

"Stay..."

"Hm?"

"You heard me, moron...."

A smile is brought to the inventor's face once again, he kicks off his boots and tosses his gloves aside. He was in more comfortable clothes than his normal attire so this was perfect. The man crawls into bed beside Edgar, immediately wrapping his arms around the other's waist to cuddle him.

Edgar squirms his way around until he was facing Luca, his eyes already closed. "Blow out the candle before you doze off..."

"Well, goodnight to you too love" He let's out a small chuckle before putting the candle out. He lies back down and brings a hand up to Edgar's cheek to gently run his thumb across it. Edgar's hand came up to rest on top of it.

The last thing Luca saw before dozing off was his beloved painter asleep beside him.

"Thank you for tolerating me my love"
