"Alan had heard the noise a few minutes ago, and thought nothing of it, but eventually his curiosity got the best of him. He trod down the hallway, following the music to Eric's bedroom. Though he knew it was impolite, he peeped in through the crack in the door, astonished to find the reaper dancing! Alan couldn't help smiling, and watched in curiosity. He never took the other man to be the dancing sort... but it certainly looked fun. He wasn't sure he could keep up though. (shi-no-toge)"

Entirely unaware that he had an audience, Eric kept it up. His movements were fluid, hips inspired to sway with the music and feet bouncing against the bed in time. Yes, he was the sort to go about dancing on his bed. And while he wasn’t bad at it, it seemed his balance needed a little work — for one wrong step and he was sent (in a fit of loud shouts and cursing) tumbling to the ground with a crash. Sheets tangled around his legs and hair disheveled.

Alan’s heart broke as he saw the tears on the other man’s face. “Yes… please.” he said, reaching to put on his glasses and slowly getting up out of the bed. Shakily, he made his way over to Eric, lifting his hand to gently wipe away his tears. “Come… let’s go to the kitchen.” he said softly, pleadingly.

Eric craned into the touch and closed his eyes, savoring it. He could only refuse Alan so long. Especially when he seemed so weak. “… Right. A cup o’ tea, then. If tha’ makes ye happy.”
