Care to Dance? - giripan

Kiku - Japan
Heracles - Greece

3rd Person
Kiku clung to the wall in the ballroom. He never liked these events - they disturbed the natural peace he loved much. He looked around the room. It was beautifully decorated. And the lights dimmed set a certain mood very well. Kiku looked around the room and saw many different things. They young gentleman asking the shy lady to dance or the two kids running around. But one person in particular caught Kiku's eye. He had unruly brown hair and bright green eyes that seemed to sparkle in the dimly lit room. Kiku started to walk towards the beautiful stranger that attended his fathers unnecessary party.

"Hello." Kiku said to the man. Up close he was much more beautiful. His green eyes sparkled more and his brown hair fell perfectly around his face.

"Hello, I'm Heracles." Heracles extended his hand out in greeting, Kiku shook his hand but quickly let go.

"I'm Kiku." Kiku said in reply. He didn't have much to say he was awe stricken by the beautiful stranger.

"Care to dance?" Heracles held his hand out once again to Kiku. Smiling he accepted his hand and was pulled off into the expansive room.

As the music graced their ears Kiku and Heracles span around the room smiling and laughing. It was wonderful. Neither minded the sideways glanced that they received - they were happy. Plain and simple. The music slowly started to fade out while Kiku and Heracles steps slowly came to a stop as well. Heracles still held onto Kiku's waist and hand. They stared into each other's eyes, sparkling green attached to melted brown. Kiku realized the position they were in and where they were. He still had a reputation to hold.

"Shall we go to the balcony?" Kiku asked a slight blush dusting his cheeks. Heracles lazily nodded his head. Kiku took his hand and hurriedly led him to his bedroom balcony.

Silence gracefully took away minutes as the cold night air of autumn flew past the two boys. Heracles and Kiku stared at the scenery before them in a comfortable silence. Without thinking Kiku said. "I feel comfortable around you Heracles." Kiku's eyes widened slightly at the words that fell so casually from his mouth. But to Kiku's surprise Heracles calmly replied.

"I feel the same way." Kiku's pale cheeks once again had a brush of pink at the comment. Silence fell upon the two boys again, but that seemed natural already. Seconds may have passed in reality but to Kiku it felt like minutes. Kiku looked at Heracles who was once again looking out at the magnificent scenery. Kiku hesitated asking a question that's been occupying his mind for awhile.

"Heracles, can I ask you something?" Kiku looked at the aforementioned person to find he was looking back at him.

"Yes, you can." Heracles responded, never breaking eye contact. Kiku took a deep breath.

"Why did you ask me to dance with you?" Kiku was a bit nervous about his reply. Kiku wasn't exactly sure what he wanted the reply to be.

"I didn't really have a reason." Heracles tapped his chin in thought. "I thought it'd be fun. Turns out I was right." Heracles looked back at Kiku and smiled. Kiku tilted his head ever so slightly and smiled. Heracles let out a soft chuckle. He reached his hand out a let it rest on Kiku's soft cheek. "You should smile more Kiku. It suits you well." Only saying that Heracles soon left, leaving Kiku with a sense of curiosity of who this mysterious Greek was.

A few months after the ball Kiku was walking around a garden of white roses that were planted in memory of his mother. They were her favorite. Kiku often came to the rose garden that gave him a feeling of comfort. However, what Kiku was not expecting was to see the very man that had occupied his thoughts since the day they met. Heracles stood in the middle wearing a neat white suit that matched the roses almost perfectly.

"Heracles?" Kiku asked even though he knew it had to be him. Heracles slowly turned his head to see Kiku.

"Hello, Kiku." Heracles replied.

"Not to be rude but what are you doing here?" Kiku asked a bit shocked.

"My father has business to do with your father and brought me along." Heracles replied with his usual calmness. Heracles walked slowly of to Kiku and smiled. Naturally Kiku smiled back. Heracles took hold of the smaller males hands and in a sudden flourish held Kiku in a warm hug. Kiku found himself wrapping his arms around Heracles. Kiku once again was reluctant to ask the question that has been occupying his mind for awhile.

"Heracles, may I ask you something?" Kiku asked in a hushed tone. Heracles nodded Kiku to continue. "There's this feeling I get in my chest and I was wondering if you felt it too." Heracles broke his embrace with Kiku and raised an eyebrow in confusion. Kiku continued hesitantly. "It's like a warm tingling feeling that never goes away." Heracles gently held onto Kiku's arms and smiled, but Kiku wasn't finished. "I don't understand it." Kiku stared into Heracles' emerald green eyes.

"It's called love Kiku." Heracles caressed Kiku's cheek. "It's not really meant to be understood. But there are many different kinds of it." Heracles finished.

"What kind do I feel?" Kiku asked with wide eyes.

"The same kind that I feel." Heracles answered softly.

"What kind is that?" Kiku asked.

"Let me show you." Before Kiku could reply he felt a pair of warm lips against his own. It was a chaste kiss but held a lot of emotion. Heracles held Kiku's cheek and waist. Kiku instinctively wrapped his arms around Heracles' neck. Kiku and Heracles broke from the embrace in a need for air.

"I think I'm in love with you, Kiku." Heracles said breathlessly.

"I know I'm in love with you, Heracles." Kiku responded. Heracles smiled.

"Then I'm definitely in love with you." Heracles said and pulled Kiku in for another kiss.

One thing was for sure Kiku was definitely in love with Heracles.
And Heracles was definitely in love with Kiku.
