❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎

Music started to play throughout the music box.

The stage lights flickered on, making the cold and cruel darkness of the music box disappear. A bright light shined overtop of them, illuminating the middle of the stage where they stood.

The two stood in the centre of the stage, hand in hand with both of their eyes closed.

One of them had dark, tousled black and purple hair, and the taller one had spiky ash-blonde locks.

The ash-blonde wore a white shirt and black tailcoat, and the other wore a black waistcoat with a blouse underneath. They both had black dress pants, and a red rose design embroidered at the ankle that reached up to the knee.

Without opening their eyes, the taller one slipped his hand around the shorter's waist, their hands intertwined as they brought their arms out to the side. The shorter of the 2 put his free hand ontop of the blonde's shoulder, their faces inches apart.

Synchronising their feet, they started to move back and forth, walking in circles as they waltzed. As they swayed to the music, the spotlight followed them, never leaving them in darkness.

The taller took his hand away from the other's waist, leading their enclosed hands above their heads as he spun the shorter person. The dark haired man spun gracefully as the other held onto his hand, waiting until his partner went back to their waltz.

Once more, the blonde spun his partner, this time in the other direction so when he was brought back the blonde had his arm over him. After just a moment of having his arm over him, he let go and they went back to their old positions.

"My dear..." The shorter one finally spoke, spinning in the arms of the blonde.

"What is it, my darling..?" The blonde one replied quietly, leading the other as they chorused their movements on the stage.

The shorter male seemed to hesitate to speak again as they both spun together, the music not stopping for a single second.

"How much longer do you think we must we dance on this stage..?" He finally asked, his voice soft and gentle.

The blonde spun his partner, lingering in the question for a moment as they continued their dance.

"...Only time will tell, my love.. I wish I could tell you.." The blonde answered truthfully.

"..I'm sorry for asking.." The ravenette said guiltily.

"No, my sweet, you have nothing to apologise for.." The blonde reassured soothingly, opening his eyes and looking at his partner with such love in his eyes.

The dark haired one could feel the other's eyes loom over him, making him smile ever so slightly as their eyes met.

"Thank you... you make these everlasting years worth living for.." He murmured.

"You know you do the same to me, my beloved~" The leading male gushed lovingly.

"Oh, how you make me swoon, my dearest.." He whispered back.

The blonde then let the ravenette spin out of his reach, only to be pulled back as he dipped the other's head towards the floor whilst holding his leg up high.

He then pulled his partner back up, continuing and repeating their sequence over and over, all the while bathing in eachothers love and affection.

This performance they must put on for all eternity..,

Of endless spinning, twirling, shuffling, and dancing..,

When will they ever be free?

"...My darling, do you remember..?" The blonde suddenly questioned, looking down at his one true love.

"Remember what, my love?" The other male queried.

"...When we didn't have to dance... when I could kiss your beautiful lips whenever I wanted to~" The taller reminisced, his eyes turning down to his partner's lips.

The shorter of the two let out a small giggle as his pale face was dusted with a shade of pink.

"My goodness, you flatter me so, my sweet. And of course I do..."

He sighed. "I miss those days.. so much.."

The blonde spun him again, just as gracefully as the other times.

"Please... do not be sad, my darling." He urged, giving the other a gentle and comforting smile.

"As long as we are together.., it'll be okay."

The dark haired male nodded at this, with the both of them soon going back to dancing in silence as the never-ending music played in the background.

Because even if they had been there for centuries, for millenniums..,

Their love for eachother never faded, and it was just as wonderful as it was all those years ago..,

...And it will never stop as they sway to the music of time for all eternity.
