"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 looked at the other man for a minute before slowly making his way over to stand in front of him. “Yes?” He asked softly, staring down at the floor for a moment before looking up into the older reaper’s eyes. He couldn’t read him.

Without warning, he reached out to tug the smallish reaper into his lap. “Alan…” Eric murmured against his ear softly with his hands resting upon his sides. What he was doing was a risk, but he’d already made up his mind. “I’m going tae ask ye sometin’, an’ I need ye tae be completely honest wi’ me. Can ye?”
