Hacking #15: Dancing

[technologic]

Characters: April and Aleph
Setting: Floor 28 (Locked to Aleph).
Format: Brackets to start with, but I can match you!
Summary: The married couple decide to spend some time relaxing together after that last event.

[After the last event, some time to relax was pretty much necessary. April had pretty much spent the reminder of August in a state of guarded stress, since even though she didn't die, she came incredibly close to it.

Luckily, relaxing was easy when she did it with Aleph. And they had a few things that they could do together, one of which is dancing, which is why they are now arriving at the music room.]

Um... Is there anything specific you want to dance to?

Comments

[alephbet]

I can dance to anything. Maybe one of your favorites?

[Aleph was stressed too, but April calmed him down and was most of the reason Aleph lived through that event.]

[technologic]

... I like classical music, but, ah, didn't you find that kinda hard to dance to?

[And Aleph is most of the reason why April also lived through it. Which is why she's going to be very grateful to him for a while.]

[alephbet]

I'll learn. It's good to be versatile, right?

[technologic]

Ah, yeah, that's true... But are you sure there's nothing in particular you want to dance to?

[Since she's heading over to the CD player to pick out music.]

[alephbet]

Some love songs would be good...

[technologic]

Love songs? [Blink, then she giggles and goes to put on this song.]

What about this?

[alephbet]

[He listens for a few seconds.]

I like it. It's pretty upbeat.

[technologic]

Ehe, I'm glad you think so... So, um, do you want to lead? [Still a bit insecure about her dancing.]

[alephbet]

If you want. [He gets into a dancing position.] Don't worry so much, you look tense.

[technologic]

[And so does she.] I guess it's kinda habit now. But I'll try to relax.

[alephbet]

You've gotten a lot better since you started.

[And time to start dancing.]

[technologic]

[Aw yeah dancing.]

I don't trip up as much now... Though, ah, how long have we been dancing together?

[alephbet]

Our first dance was over a year ago.

[Shortly after he came to the tower.]

[technologic]

[April is silent as she thinks about that, and then she smiles slightly.]

A year... I-it's weird, that over year after meeting each other, we would be married to each other...

[alephbet]

You've been important to me for most of my life.

[technologic]

[Hold on, just gonna trip over her feet in surprise.]

Eh, w-w-what?

[alephbet]

[Helps her up.

Well, I'll be two in January, right?

[technologic]

[Still looking very flustered.]

Y-yeah, that's right, you'll be t-two in January...

[alephbet]

And I've known you practically since I came here, which was last year.

[technologic]

Y-y-yeah, I remember making you f-food when you first arrived... T-though I've only been i-important to you for the last few months, r-right?

[alephbet]

If by that you mean 'a year'.

[technologic]

A-a year?! E-even though w-we ended up falling out a-at one point?

[alephbet]

It wouldn't have hurt if you hadn't been important.

[technologic]

[Her eyes widen, and she then looks down at the ground.]

... S-s-sorry...

[alephbet]

It's all right. It's over now.
