(open) my heart is about to jump out of my chest
Who: Inigo and you!
Where: The upper level of the music carriage
When: Imagination 19/20
What: Inigo thinks he's having a private dance practice moment. Thinks.
Warnings: Probably nothing, will edit if necessary.

(open to all)
If you happen to pass through the music carriage today - as people usually do when moving through the train - you may notice something. Either you can hear music coming from the upper floor, drawing your attention, or if you have a good heart, you may instead see an odd little creature sitting on the stairs, swaying from side to side along with the music.
If you decide to go upstairs, the creature certainly won't do anything to stop you, if you can see it. In fact, it seems to happily bounce right after you, following you up.
And upstairs the carriage is mostly empty - except for Inigo standing on the stage, dancing. The music is even more audible now. Inigo is dancing along to the beat, eyes closed, yet he doesn't seem to even come close to falling off the stage, as if he knows exactly where to place his feet. Which he probably does, considering his movements seem to be very fluid, practiced. It's a pretty captivating dance, honestly, and it's easy to just keep watching it without realising the time is passing until the song stops.
It's then that Inigo stops moving too, finally opening his eyes..
.. and therefore finally noticing that he's not alone. He lets out an absolute shriek, staring you straight in the eyes, before his foot slips and he finally ends up falling on the stage.
Temporary elegance gone. There is only a miserable little pile of Inigo on the stage now.
(closed to taiki)
Okay, okay. Maybe he just needs to get used to dancing in front of people. He danced in front of Tidus before, and that was only.. only mildly mortifying, so maybe that's what he should do. Make sure to dance in front of people he feels a bit more comfortable with.
Hence why Inigo gently dragged (read: made puppy eyes at until he gave in) Taiki along here. He said it was fine if Taiki would just sit there and paint or something, do whatever he feels like doing! It's just that Inigo has to get used to having an audience, okay! And Taiki is just about the most gentle person Inigo can think of for this sort of thing.
But thinking of that is one thing. The actual execution of this plan is another thing.
Which is why they're both here now, but rather than dancing, Inigo just sitting there on the stage, slumped over, groaning. His face is buried in his hands.
"Why is it so hard to get started when someone else is looking.." Is he whining to Taiki? To himself? Who knows.

I'm glad it helps you think of happier times as well... That's important.
no subject
[ He mumbles, though seeming to calm a bit under Taiki's touch. It is a nice feeling, having his hair stroked like that. Especially since Inigo loves physical affection so much. ]
It's since it makes me think of my mother. [ And anything having to do with her is automatically a happier time. Especially since everything got truly bad around the time she died. ] And the times we danced together when I was little.
no subject
[Even if those memories might be sad as well, Taiki knows that Inigo's parents had died. So thinking of his mother was probably sad, as well as happy.]
no subject
It's.. my connection to her.
[ Even though she's dead. Even though the mother he got to meet again in the past wasn't technically his mother. ]
Like a part of her lives on in me, as long as I keep dancing. I hope that can make her happy, even though she's been dead for so long now.
no subject
[Who wouldn't be after all. Inigo was so strong, so brave and despite all his sorrow, despite his nerves he still danced.
Even though Taiki knew that Inigo's life had often been violent, he didn't let that be all what his life was. He could still create such beauty as this.]
no subject
Taikiiii. [ Whiiiine. At least it's not an annoyed whine, it's just an 'how do I ever deal with this' kind of whine. Like Taiki has a big, whiny baby pressed up against him. ] How are you so nice, huh? It's as if you have something nice to say in reply to whatever I say. You really are too good.
no subject
[He didn't think he was overly nice to Inigo, just that Inigo expected cruelty at every turn and so was so surprised whenever he found kindness instead.]
no subject
Wow, Taiki, doesn't that sound like someone else you know very well? His name is at the tip of my tongue..]Can you even be mean to people?
[ Look, the first time he met Taiki was.. Something, alright. But he won't classify just very, very intense staring as being mean, okay. Though Inigo may be a tad biased in Taiki's favour here. ]
I don't think I've ever seen you do that.
no subject
[He looks sad at that, he never would want to hurt people, by his actions or words. But he does and he has. Not often has it been purposful.]
I don't think it is impossible for a kirin to be mean...
no subject
Regardless of the whole kirin thing. [ Because while that's an important part of Taiki's identity, it's not like it's all he is! Inigo didn't even know at first that he had that side to him, after all. ] You're just super sweet as a person. It's your personality!
no subject
I am glad that I haven't ever been mean to you.
