Party Time

[loveandduty]

Who: Everyone who wants to attend.
What: It's a party for all, but the pairing up part is for singles only.
When: Day 19 of Fiddlesticks
Where: Gym Carriage
Warnings: Who knows atm just Minako being Minako will add more as things happen.

[Minako figured she did the best she could for the party. Though she also wondered if perhaps she might not have that many people come. Sure she wanted to put singles together, but at the same time, she simply wanted people to have fun.

In the dressing carriage, people will find costumes and masks that were more gothic in nature. There was food and hopefully some forms of sweet treats for those looking for it as well as a variety of drink, mostly non-alcoholic.]

Oh geez, why does it always feel like he's throwing a puppy out to the wolves whenever he even suggests that Taiki should be the slightest bit social.. Inigo feels instantly guilty at the fear he spots on the other's face.

At least he doesn't feel insulted though. He can see the reason as to why Taiki might not like the idea of dancing with anyone else.

"You would never bother anyone, Taiki. Your presence is a blessing upon any social situation." It sounds a little over the top, like one of the dramatic compliments Inigo may hand out from time to time.. But he means this one. Very sincerely. "Anyone who would be asked to dance by you would feel honoured, I'm sure."

He just looks down. Inigo is wrong, though Taiki knows he is only trying to be nice. Still that was Inigo all over. Always giving dramatic compliments. Taiki never knew how to take them.

So he settled on silence as continued dancing, focusing on the music and the steps. Now that he had the basics of it he found it quite fun. Even as he felt guilt at the same time, the same guilt he felt whenever he felt himself relaxing here.

Still he doesn't pull away, he wouldn't do that to Inigo but instead continues dancing until the music ends.

Thankfully the upside is that Inigo is very much used to the way Taiki takes his compliments by now, and so he doesn't take it personally, or assume he's doing something wrong.

But it still feels bad. Inigo really wishes there was some way he could get through to the other one day. That Taiki could smile and truly, genuinely accept a compliment in a way that made it obvious he himself believed in it too. (Inigo isn't too sure he can rest until that day, honestly.)

But he keeps on dancing until the song is over. Briefly he considers going for another song, but.. just this one must have taken enough out of the other. Inigo stops moving, making sure to keep the smile on his face.

"Dancing with you was nice." Taiki might not be good at taking compliments, but that doesn't mean Inigo isn't going to remind him of how great he is at every! available! opportunity! "But I don't want to overwhelm you right now. How about we try this again at the next party?"

He smiled back, "Yes, thank you for teaching me." He nodded, glad that Inigo was going to let him go back to not dancing for now.

It had been fun, he really had liked dancing with Inigo but he's not sure he could continue much past one song. He's happy to go back to watching for the time being.

"I'd like that."

The people on this train seemed to enjoy parties so he didn't doubt there would be another at some point.
