 Shinso took Monoma's hand and guided him out onto the dance floor. They stood together. Shinso ran his hands down the sides of Monoma's bodice, pulling him in by the waist.

Hmph. Even with his heels, Monoma was still an inch shorter than his boyfriend.

Monoma wrapped his arms around Shinso's neck and pulled him down. They started swaying together slowly, because neither of them knew how to properly ballroom dance.

Shinso leaned into Monoma's neck and kissed his bare collarbone gently.

Monoma shivered at the touch. It scared him how much he was actually enjoying being with Shinso. Everything he was feeling... doing all of this... it was all so new to him.

I don't like it, he told himself.

But you can't fool your heart.

Monoma craned his neck upward and touched his lips to Shinso's ear. "Wanna get out of here?" he murmured. He leaned back and smirked seductively.

The taller boy widened his eyes. "Yes, please," Shinso whispered.

"C'mon," Monoma tugged his boyfriend's arm and they glided off the dance floor together, walking out of the school's gymnasium.

Outside, Monoma shivered as soon as the crisp winter wind bit at his bare arms.

"Did you walk here?" Shinso asked, pulling the blonde closer to him to keep him warm.

"Yeah, you?"

Shinso nodded.

"Let's go back to my place," Monoma suggested as they began walking.

"Are your parents home?"

Monoma's mouth curved in a come-to-bed smile. "No."

"Perfect."

Monoma couldn't resist playing around. "And why's that?"

"Because as gorgeous as that dress is on you, it would look even better on your bedroom floor," Shinso purred back.

Monoma laughed and flirtatiously ran his hand over Shinso's chest. "My feet are killing me," he simpered. He lifted up the hem of his skirt to glance down at his foot, which, sure enough, had multiple blisters forming on the heel.

"I'll carry you home."

"You won't be able to lif—"

He broke off as Shinso scooped him up bridal style, the taller boy's arms full with Monoma — plus a ton of gauzy fabric of the dress.

Monoma threw his head back and laughed at the way he was being carried. Everything seemed funny tonight. Maybe I'm high off the air... or something...

Shinso laughed, too. "Tell me how to get to your house from here?"

Monoma gave him directions, his words punctuate by giggles.
