     TRUTH BE TOLD,

               he’d almost forgotten about that. But the reminder is actually enough to make him snicker. He didn’t really understand the song…but the visual was all he needed at the time.

     AT FIRST, HE DOESN’T MOVE.

               Then he wakes, slowly. Then soon, he’s on his feet. And all the while, Shinji watches the boy’s slow coming back to consciousness. He waits, nervous eyes flitting back and forth occasionally, while he rises. There is no one around them to watch the slow process, nothing but the stars and the light of a few streetlamps — it isn’t a good area of town, but it’s one he has to pass through to get home.

               ( At least, for tonight; to be truthful, this isn’t his normal route, but home doesn’t sound appealing tonight, and aimless wandering leads you places. )

               Then the boy finally speaks, and Shinji feels his mouth run dry. That is most certainly English that he’s speaking — and, come to think of it, no wonder. He’s most definitely not local. Most definitely a foreigner. His assumption that he would be understood was a foolish one.

               But, with speaking English comes mild internal panic. He swallows, and picks the phrases apart in his head.

               ❝ Um... ❞ He understands the question; the answer is just leaving him. ❝ Are you lost? ❞

        THE RADIO PLAYS from another room; an upbeat song. Shinji lays on his stomach on the floor, a graphic novel in hand, and Pen-Pen lays on top of him, crooning softly. Lucas is over, but other than that, no one else is home. The radio is to keep the silence at bay, but Shinji wouldn’t have minded sitting with Lucas in total silence, either.

          ❝ Um…may I have this dance? ❞

          It comes suddenly, and Shinji and Pen-Pen both look up when Lucas tries to get Shinji’s attention. The song continues from the other room, and Pen-Pen, as if he understands, hops off of Shinji’s back and hobbles off elsewhere in the living room. Shinji chuckles a little, slipping a bookmark into the manga and setting it on the coffee table, getting to his feet. ❝ I’m really not a good dancer, though. ❞

          ❝ Fair. Neither am I. ❞

          They each have their fair share of ❝ So, should I like…grab your hands? ❞ and ❝ Do we do this? ❞ as they shift around awkwardly to the beat. A few toes are stepped on. A few beats are missed. But they continue on, because there’s no one to witness how stiffly they move. But eventually they loosen up, hand in hand, stepping forwards, backwards, sometimes daring to twirl each other around. No one really leads. Their steps just fit together like puzzle pieces.

        THANKFULLY, SHINJI IS so oblivious it hurts. He listens to Lucas, nodding, wondering if there’s anyone in their school like that that Lucas might be interested in. He’s a little surprised that he’s coming to Shinji for advice, given that his romantic experiences are few and unpleasant. But Lucas is someone that deserves to be happy, no matter who the person to do that is. So he bites his lip, glancing at the floor.
