"Deal," he said, draining his drink and chunking it into the trash. He took her empty cup and tossed it as well. Sure enough, the next song slowed down and couple began to come together to slow dance. He could feel his face heating, as he glanced over at Sibyl.

"Looks like it's time," he said softly, taking her hand and leading her a little ways into the dance floor. He was so nervous, but he tried to concentrate on the beat of the song. He placed his hands lightly on her hips and began to sway.

She turned and tossed her empty cup into the trash bin. The smile that came over her face when Akio took her hand couldn't be helped and she let him lead her out to the dance floor. It was a better alternative than dragging him out, too.

Sibyl turned once they were on the floor and lightly placed her hands on his shoulders while his own went to her waist. It was easy enough for her to fall into the same sway. "See?" Sibyl kept smiling. "This isn't so bad."

Akio couldn't stop the blush that spread across his cheeks. He was thankful the room was dim, and she may not notice. "No, not too bad," he confirmed, barely above a whisper. His eyes locked with hers as they swayed slowly to the song. He admired her, and he had for years. She was interesting, smart, and beautiful. Any man was a damn fool not to think so.

To break his own feeling of tension that had arisen from holding her even this close, he said, "At least you haven't stepped on my feet yet."

It was certainly an advantage for him that she couldn't see the blush in his face,. As curious as she was, she would have asked. At the same time, it was also lucky for her that the lighting was dim enough that he probably couldn't see her own blush as she found herself looking into his eyes.

Sibyl blinked for a moment and glanced down between them, seeing that there was no danger of her stepping on his toes. "True," she grinned playfully and looked back at him, "But I can if you want me to."

"I'd like to keep my toes in tact, but thanks for the offer," he said, giving her a lop-sided grin. He found himself wanting to be closer to her... deciding this space between them was too large. He subtly shifted his hands so they no longer rested on her hips, but a couple of inches back, onto her lower back. They were only marginally closer, but it was enough for now. He hoped the song didn't end too soon. And, if it did, that another slow one played afterward.

"Are you having a good time so far?" he asked, acutely aware of her hands on his neck and the sparkle in her eyes. If he didn't know any better, he would think that she had feelings for him too. But nah... that was impossible. Wasn't it?

Even though it was only marginally closer than before, Sibyl noticed that as well as the new placement of his hands. She covered the brief moment of nerves with a small laugh that was meant as a response to the well being of his toes.

Sibyl nodded. "Of course I am. And," she briefly moved a hand from around his neck to give him a light poke in the shoulder to emphasize her point before replacing it, "The night is still young."

"So, you're saying I have plenty of time to mess everything up? he teased, arching a brow at her. She was so cute when she teased him, and his heart plummeted with the knowledge that she probably only saw him as a close friend and maybe a brother-type figure. But he wouldn't ruin the mood now. He intended to give her the best dance/ night of her life.

"Besides dancing, what other fun things do you enjoy at these dances?" he asked, pulling her even closer, his eyes darting around for a chaperone. They weren't grinding after all. but he wanted to be even closer to her,
