Slow Dancing (FTOs5)

A/N- This is set in Salode, during the party scene, and is technically Kit x Allumos x Marshie, but since Marshie didn't go to Salode we'll be focusing on Kit x Allumos.

"My poor brother.." Ritchie mumbled, gazing at Brandon standing with Franchesca. Music was playing, and Franchesca was trying to get Brandon to dance with her, although it wasn't going too well as Brandon stood his ground. Eventually Brandon had to cave in and dance when his father gave him a glare and started walking over. To make matters worse, it was a slow dance, meant to be romantic...and Brandon was drunk. So he couldn't dance well even if he wanted to.

"This is tragic.." David mumbled, standing next to him and also watching the now dancing Brandon.

"Yeah, he looks miserable." Lucas added from behind the bar.

"He's looked like that all night." David retorted. Lucas just rolled his eyes.

"Lucky for him the bare minimum is 1 dance, it's one of those unspoken rules I guess." Ritchie said.

"What does that mean??" Lucas asked.

"It means, that after this dance he can claim he's 'had enough dancing', or he 'wants more to drink'-" Ritchie did air quotes with his fingers as he spoke. "Just any bullshit excuse really." The song ended, and Brandon wasted no time coming off the dance floor, however another slow dance was probably going to start and the king and queen would continue.

Kit was on the other side of the area, also a bit drunk. Not as bad as Brandon, but still drunk enough to make decisions without really thinking about it and not remembering it after the fact...since Tapio died, she hadn't touched a drop of alcohol, for good reason too after seeing what the hell it did to Ritchie. But since they were in Salode, they didn't have magic, so Kit just thought why not. Also, she had been thinking about it for some reason and making herself sad.

Allumos, who was nearby, also had a couple drinks- Nothing major, he felt a little woozy but otherwise he was sober enough to not hate himself later. He was mostly wondering what the hell was in the alcohol in Salode, as it was strange that a couple small drinks made him dizzy.

Kit noticed Allumos standing next to a nearby table, talking with Michael and Devin. As she stood there and gazed at him, the next slow dance song started, and she (somewhat) had an idea. She wandered over to them, smiling.

"Hii Allumos, hi Devin, hey Michael,"

"Oh! Hello Kit!" Allumos greeted.

"Hi Kit!" Devin smiled and waved.

"Hey," Michael said simply, nodding a little. Kit glanced at the dance floor again, where the king and queen and presumed slow dancing, before looking back at Allumos and grabbing his hand.

"Uhm- ..Kit what are you doing-" Allumos questioned, but got cut off as Kit just giggled and started dragging him towards the dance floor.

"C'monnn, you promised me a daaance!" Allumos looked back at the other 2 wizards in confusion as he got dragged, and next thing he knew Kit had let go of his hand, and instead grabbed his other one, along with his shoulder.

"I- Kit-"

"Are we gonna do this or what??" She giggled, not waiting for an answer, and just positioned Allumos' hands where they needed to be and started dancing. Allumos sighed and just accepted his fate...he could tell by now Kit was a little drunk, but after a bit of thought he realized: This..was actually somewhat fun. And she was right, he did say that he would dance with her. He just didn't think it was going to be like this.
