(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.

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.

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.

But the moment he's snapped out of it, he seems to have a reaction very similar to Devero's own. Startled, surprised, but at the same time kind of amazed. Inigo's cheeks are rosy, glancing between the man and the scenery around them, as if he can't fully believe what just happened either. It's not as if he hasn't danced with anyone here on the train yet - but this is a totally different experience, obviously due to the other's skill level being much closer to his own than most people's.
"A.. Ah, you're.." Inigo sheepishly moves a hand up to rub the back of his head as he dares to slide his gaze back over at Devero. ".. You're very good."
That at least has to be said, no matter how dazed he is after that as well.

"T-That's far too much praise for me!"
He's just a guy who dances! (And who vastly underestimates his own abilities, but that aside.)
"It's.. erm, it's all t-thanks to the quality of your lead.. But I enjoyed it as well..!"
no subject
He releases him and steps back then. "I am glad you had fun though."
no subject
But then - maybe by the time the other releases him - he nods. Slightly, and awkwardly, but he's trying!
"I.. I'll try to remember that." Even though it may be hard, considering his low self esteem.
"Though.." Inigo starts, then stops. And hesitates. The shyness is visible on his face, but he'd feel incredibly rude if he didn't at least offer this much. Inigo may regret it too, if he didn't at least say this much. "I-If you want to dance again.. well.. erm, you can always ask me."
Despite how flustered he is, he did really enjoy it, after all. It's hard to find dancing partners this good on the train, if not virtually impossible.
no subject
"Maybe next time you can lead?" he continues. "Show me something else from your world, if you know any partner dances."
Dev, buddy, that's probably not going to help the fluster any.no subject
But what else can Inigo say in the face of that?
"A-Alright!" NERVOUS AGREEMENT. Go, go, go! Later Inigo will realise the implications of agreeing with this. Like the fact he'll have to dance again. With this guy. Who is also a great dancer. And he will have a mini freakout for sure.
Btu right now? He's just agreeing to anything. Sure, Devero, whatever you want. Inigo will just sputter some agreement.
"L-Let's.. do that then! Um, sometime soon."
no subject
"But for now, I can leave you to it. Thanks for the dance-- er. I don't think I caught your name?"
no subject
Apparently ignoring the question that came before it. But then again, if Inigo isn't answering it, the answer is probably a yes, right? It really is better to figure it out some other time. Maybe when Inigo isn't as worked up.
(Hah, Inigo ever not being worked up at the very thought of dancing. That's a funny joke.)
"I.. It's nice to meet you." Almost forgot that after everything! And in the middle of his nervous fit!

Maybe it's a good thing that Inigo is so flustered at the moment - it makes him unable to question any part of it, even as he sees it happen. Instead he just gives a quick nod, still obviously shy and flustered. Too flustered to even manage to force out words alongside that nod this time, apparently.
