To Dance or Not To Dance {Private}

[Nicolette]

As soon as Sven's door was shut, Matt made a mad dash for his bedroom and began to gather clothes together to take into the shower with him. A new t-shirt, a pair of sweats, a pair of boxers, and a pair of socks. Once he was sure he had everything he needed, he dashed back to the bathroom, the door swinging shut behind him.

It was warm and steamy in the room and his glasses fogged up a little, but he quickly undressed, placing his dirty clothes in the nearby hamper and placing the clean clothes on the counter next to the sink. The only article of clothing that hadn't gone in the hamper was the velcro tanktop (which, again, took him forever to get off). The last part that was taken off was his glasses.

The shower was turned on and a thin hand reached out to unlock the door, just in case the older male needed to use the bathroom. The small student slipped inside the shower, sliding the door shut. Green eyes attempted to focus as water came down and hit creamy pale skin and dark locks. The droplets slid down slight shouldlers, coming to move over small breasts and down a flat stomach, until it passed a region that didn't exist.

Katherine shut her eyes as she relaxed against the water's touch. It had been a few days since she had bathed and it felt so nice to feel the hot water beat against her skin and wash away her troubles.

[Faye]

Hearing the shower switch on again, Sven assumed Matthew had decided to have his shower now. So, he took a little longer getting his hair fixed up and sorting things out. He looked in the small mirror in his room and grabbed his brush, styling his hair how he normally had it but it was a little flat from being so drenched. Once he was satisfied he left his towel on the floor of his room (he would put it in the little hamper after Matthew's shower) and exited, going out into the lounge where he found Matt had been watching the television.

He took a seat on the couch and took the remote in his hands, flipping through the channels, feeling a little more self control about Matthew being in the shower. He just knew he wouldn't be able to control much about his lower parts of his body if he went in there.

Katherine practically had to put the bottle of shampoo right to her face in order to read the label that would tell her it was shampoo. She poured some into her hands and lathered it through her hair, enjoying the feeling of the oily hair go away and clean hair being left behind as she washed the soap from her hair. She took some conditioner and applied it to the ends of her hair before taking the soap and a small wash cloth.

She ran the wash cloth over her body, washing it with the soap she had spread over it. She enjoyed the overall clean feeling and let out a soft, content sigh as she stepped back under the flow of the water, washing the conditioner from her hair and the soap from her body. She lingered in the water for a little bit longer, enjoying her final seconds as her true self before she shut off the water and stepped out of the shower. She took a towel and wrapped it around her thin form, her thick locks flopping and sticking to her face.

She hated getting dressed in a steamy bathroom, but she couldn't just waltz on out dressed as she was... Guys didn't usually wear towels around their torso and if Sven was out there, he might see... So she had to just try and dry herself off and slip on her boxers and the tanktop, attaching the velro before grabbing the shirt, pants, and socks.

Matthew dropped the towel in the hamper and grabbed his glasses from the counter, slipping them on. They were a little steamy, so he had to rub his hands over them to clear his sight. He grabbed a brush and stepped outside the bathroom, flipping off the light.

Dressed in the tank top and boxers, he started for his bedroom, hoping Sven didn't look back. He looked masculine enough (most would just think he was a feminine young man), but it would be embarrassing to be seen in his boxers.

[Faye]

Blocking out the sound of the shower running, Sven tried his best to concentrate on the television, the longer he tried to, the worse it got for him. He felt he just needed to be beside Matthew again, to feel whole for at least a little while... Ah he just knew that Matthew made him feel something that made things just that much easier in life. To be able to handle what he knew he could never have.

Even with this, though, it tore him to pieces.

"Have a nice shower~?" He chirped, smiling warmly as he heard Matthew walk out of the bathroom and head for his room, he didn't turn away from the television, though, he kept his eyes on the screen in case Matthew hadn't taken clothes with him and was only in a towel.

That he could not handle right now. It was bad enough when Matthew saw him with just a towel on.

[Nicolette]

"A-ah, yes. I feel quite clean now." Matt responded to the older male's question before slipping into his room, standing behind his door as he slipped on the clean t-shirt and pants before sitting down in his desk chair to put his socks on.

Once dressed, he ran the brush through his thick black locks before tossing the brush on his desk and walking out of his room. He noted the television was still on and he moved over to plop down next to his crush, pushing his glasses up.

"What'cha watchin'?"

[Faye]

Well wouldn't that be a little weird if he didn't feel clean? He did have a shower and all, it wasn't like he just stood there under the water and wished it would just wash everything away without having to do anything. Pfft. Anyway... He just formed a smile and flashed it at Matthew who had already disappeared into his room so he wouldn't have seen the smile. Sven frowned.

But his mood was brightened when Matt returned from his room, "Eh, not much, there's barely anything on..." He complained, flicking through the channels, "There anything you would like to watch?" He asked, looking to Matt, it would be nice if he had something in mind...

[Nicolette]

Matt watched as the television flipped through random channels and didn't see anything he'd really like. An idea hit him, though, after a few minutes of channel surfing. He grabbed the remote from Sven's hand.

"I have an idea." He said with a smile before getting up. He quickly ran off to his room with remote in hand. He went to his desk and looked up above the desk at the various CDs lined up. He finally found the one he was looking for and grabbed it.

He came back into the living room. He ran and hopped over the couch, landing on the other side before changing the channel on the television to a specific channel so he could turn on the DVD player. He opened CD case and the DVD player and placed the disc in the slot. He dropped the case on the coffee table.

It read 'Ultimate Radiance'. It was a rare CD that only one hundred copies were released to the public. He shut the DVD player and pressed play. The first song, which was soft and slow, started playing, before the melody of Anima's voice began.

He turned back to face Sven. "It's compiled of Radiance's top songs... As well as three songs done in English." Radiance generally sang in German and the album featured their first three English compositions. Those weren't til later on the CD, though. "I thought you'd enjoy Radiance more than some boring television."

[Faye]

Sven blinked as the boy got up and left for his room again, saying he had an idea. The anticipation burned within him and he wondered what Matthew had in mind for them. He thought it would be pretty interesting~ Just like he was. When he came back, Sven saw a CD case but didn't notice the label marked on it so he wasn't sure what CD it was.

However he knew straight away when he heard Anima's soft, sweet and amazing voice begin after the songs soft and slow start. He smile warmly to Matthew, he knew exactly what to do to make this night a little better. This was definitely better than boring old television.

"Oh absolutely~ Where did you get this? These songs are like really hard to come by..."

[Nicolette]

Matt winked. "I have connections."

With that said, he set the remote on the coffee table and then proceeded to move the coffee table up against the large cabinet that held the television, so there was larger space between the coffee table and the couch.

He looked at the man on the couch. Zane's deep voice joined in with Anima's behind him. "You know how to dance?"

[Faye]

Hmph, he wished he knew how to find such amazing songs like this. The internet would have it but he was sure he would have to pay for something at some point.

Sven blinked again, confused as to why Matthew was moving the furniture around but was even more confused and then shocked at his question. He wanted to dance in their dormitory but wouldn't go to the school dance?

Eh, at least they got to spend time together.

He rose from his sitting position, standing closer to the younger of the two, "More or less..." He knew most of the basics.

[Nicolette]

Matt could tell the man was confused and his cheeks turned pink as he looked away.

"I... just don't like social events... Which is why I didn't want to go to the dance..." He muttered before looking up. He stepped forward, still blushing, and took one of Sven's hands, placing his other hand on the man's shoulder. He was taking the female's position for dancing.

"I'm horrible at leading." He admitted, his blush reddening a little.

[Faye]

Sven could not help but smile as Matthew blushed and it only seemed to get darker, it made him feel all tingly inside that he made the boy blush like that. Though he was glad Matthew took the female position in their little dance together, since he was the shorter one out of them, it just made more sense. Besides... Matthew did look more feminine.

Just a bit.

"Ah.. Well... I guess I could try to lead," He said, swallowing slowly as he started to move his feet in time with the song, holding onto Matthew's hand gently.

[Nicolette]

Matt swayed his small form with Sven's as they moved in step with the song. It was a generally slow song and the power of Anima's and Zane's voices filled Matt's chest with such emotion... He had to blink a few times to clear away tears as he danced. He wanted to join in to sing along by their side... He wanted to dance like Anima...

But he couldn't.

He simply held tight to Sven's hand and danced in his hold, savoring their moment of closeness.

[Faye]

Not noticing the tears forming in Matthew's eyes, Sven slowly continued to step in time to the beat of the song, changing their position from moving forward to side and going in circles. He was remembering some of the dance steps he picked up from movies but he was sure he was doing in wrong. Oh well, as long as Matthew was happy and was having a good time, nothing else mattered.

Speaking of which... He had a burning question within him but was unsure of whether or not to ask Matthew. It was a strange question but he had to ask. He wouldn't be able to sleep otherwise. He was pretty sure Matthew didn't want him sneaking into his room in the middle of the night to ask him.

He swallowed hard but continued to dance with Matthew, "Matt..." He started, trying to make sure he didn't chicken out, "Because of what... happened before..." He continued, referring to their little make out session, "What does that mean... for us..?"

[Nicolette]

The song faded with Sven's question and Matt stopped moving with the music as a new song came on. However, he didn't move away from the taller man. Instead, he stood on his tip toes and wrapped his arms around his neck, looking up at him through his glasses.

"Well... You already know my feelings for you, Sven..." He started, leaning up and gently placing a kiss on the man's lips before leaning back. "However, what is it that you want?"
