Dancing

Helsinki's pov

"Let's dance please?" I asked with what I believed to be puppy eyes.
We were at the club, it was pretty loud but we could hear each other well enough.
"I don't know how to dance the way you want me to" he looked at me while fidgeting a little.
Even though he puts on a serious expression and looks cool and all to me he can be pretty cute.
"I will guide you! You don't have to worry! Just follow my lead" I was pretty excited I would be the one teaching him how to dance. He gave me many things and now I am giving him some knowledge on how to dance.
"Alright but if I stomp on your feet by any chance we won't continue dancing. Ok?"
He said with a worried expression while looking straight in my eyes, to see if I really understood what he said.
"You don't have to worry that much. I am not that fragile. I can handle it." I said pouting, I like how he worries about my well being but I don't want him to get stressed out thinking about it.
He laughed a little then he flashed me one of his dimples smiles that melt me down a little every time I see them." I believe you. I will be extra careful then." He said while taking a hold of my hands squeezing them a little.
I smiled at his remark. He irks me sometimes.
Guess I will be the one stomping on his feet at least one time. But knowing how he is, maybe I shouldn't.
"Ready?" I am a little nervous. Will I lead well?
My heart is beating fast. I don't want to mess up.
"Yes, let's have fun." He took my hand and led me to somewhere in the middle of the ballroom floor.
With the lights shinning on us. As we looked into each other's eyes. I felt like we were the only ones there. Like a scene from a movie.
It felt both romantic and strange. I wonder if when we both grow old together and die, can we continue being together in the after life?
We are still young and unforeseen circumstances happen but a lifetime's worth of time doesn't seem enough.
As we were dancing, we had locked eyes all the time. Unconsciously. His thoughts unknown to me. Mine unknown to him.
Thanks to some amazing people that fought for the rights of the community we belong to we can now be together in the open without having to suffer that much hate or violence.
There's still people out there that don't approve of our love but we can't  please everyone.
We just have to respect each other.
The song was pretty good and a little bit cheesy too.
"I love you" He said teary eyed. Even a big man like him can get emotional. Especially while confessing to someone he likes.
It's the first time he said he loves me.
He always says he likes me.
Maybe he thought that it was the right time.
While this thoughts flashed on my mind I blushed, I felt my hands tremble as I said the most beautiful sentence it exists in the whole wide world with an added word:
"I love you too" I am happy and excited about what the future may hold for us.
The lights at the center of the ballroom floor dimmed and we hugged each other.
I don't want to think about the future. I want to enjoy the present.
It's you and me.
We may or may not be ready for most things but if we're together we can get by.
Even though we may face hardships and we won't always be happy I have you to share the moments of sorrow with.
To comfort each other.
We hugged for what seemed like years.
As the song continued playing I couldn't listen properly as I was too engrossed in my own thoughts.
I could listen to his heart beat.
Smell his cologne.
I just want this to last more than it will.
