Pink Roses

Under the Silver Moon

The night is in full set and it's time for the newly weds dance. Friends gather round the beautiful large black led dance floor; and from the beams, hang extra lanterns for a little more flare. All observe Rider and Goggles take the first step onto the mat and walk to the center. With a passionate look in their eyes, the sweet melody begins. Bodies press close as they don't drift their gaze from the other.

Hand in hand they travel the floor with careful steps and blazing fixation as they awe the crowd. A breathtaking dance that glimmered with devotion and partnership, it left the group stunned; and none dared to make a sound until the dance died down.
Rider twirled Goggles round until he came to stop in front of the lime squids chest. His firm hands carefully released his partners then trails them down to his waist then leans to rest his chin on his shorter husbands shoulder.

What the lad muttered wasn't heard, but everyone knew it was something sweet.

Army stood there watching the two romantics and claps along with everyone else. He wishes to have that some day, and with someone but he felt ashamed to think of the person that way. Lost in his thought, a tapping on his shoulder brings him back.
"Huh?!" Startled he turns around only to see Skull. "Aren't you going to step in?" The much taller squid asked as he steps beside the shorter one.

Everyone has already made their way onto the dance floor. Most are congratulating the newly weds while some have their own fun. Army observes for a second longer before responding, "I'm not sure. I'd like too but-" But what? Was he planning on waiting for someone?
His eyes travel to the floor and sees who he's looking for. Aloha is already occupied and seems to be enjoying himself. That's good at least. Army thought as he gives a weary sigh.

"If you don't have a partner, I'll dance with you." Offered Skull as he gives out his hand. The gesture baffled Army and never took this strong, quiet squid as someone to extend his hand out for a dance. "Heh..Don't..Do you even like dancing?" Questioned Army.
Skull took a moment to think then eventually shakes his head. "Then why ask me?" It's an honest question. What reason does he have? "You said you'd like too. And I need something to do before I go wonder off somewhere and get lost." A truthful response that doesn't surprise Army. He does chuckle a bit then agrees to take Skulls hand.

The two of them make their way onto the floor and already begin dancing.
It's a medium paced song just how Army likes it and never would he have thought that he'd be enjoying a dance with Skull of all squids. As they get more energetic with it, people begin noticing the pair and some stop to examine and whisper. "They're starting to watch.." Army nervously stated.

"We can stop." Skull didn't want his friend to get uncomfortable. It wouldn't be fun for either of them.

"No." Army grips Skull even tighter and moves quicker than before. The pace of their dance draws in a crowd and makes them go crazy with cheers and claps. Whistles and cameras fill the air as that's all that can be heard along with their roaring praise. "Looking good you two!" Someone shouts.

"They must like your dancing." Skull leans over to whisper to Army.

"Impossible. I have no idea what I'm doing. I got no rhythm!" Army declares as loud as he can to get it in ear shot for Skull. "I see. Then maybe you'll have better luck with him." Before Army could comprehend what Skull said, he's already being twirled away then stops and sways in his tracks feeling whiplash, until he finally sees Aloha in his view. He's bunched up in the crowd but stands in front so he had a better view of Army and Skull.

The crowd puzzled together who Skull was passing Army too and everyone raised their cheers and laughter even more. Army was wheezing and slouched over but he desperately wanted to dance with Aloha. So with his left over strength, he extends his hand out for him. The people around the pink lad encouraged him to take it, while Aloha stares down at his roommate with a bewildered stare.
