Dance - a bellcollar fanfiction

summary:

Walking home from a fancy date, Abigail and Raelle cut through a park where a busker is playing on the guitar. They couldn't not stop and dance to the music. 

They laughed as they walked, ducking under the archway to cut through a park on the way back home, alcohol buzzing in their veins warming them in the frigid March air. The season had yet to turn, grass green underfoot and snowdrops scattered under gnarled trees still displaying empty branches that swayed in the evening's breeze. The quiet was interrupted by the strumming of a guitar and a melodious voice drifted through the park, "Is that music?" Abigail asked. 

"Yeah, sounds like it's coming from the gazebo," Raelle said gently pulling Abigail into a stop,

"You know what a gazebo is?" Abigail said, shock tinging her voice

"Yes, I'm Cession, not stupid." Raelle said, "Come on, let's go listen." It wasn't a song either of them recognised, it wasn't Work but there were no lyrics, just a haunting melody trilled out along the strum of guitar strings. "Dance with me?" she asked as they approached the gazebo, an older gentleman smiled as he saw them approach.

"You dance?" Abigail asked, shocked, clearly sober enough to not have suspended all belief. "I didn't know you danced."

"There's a lot you don't know about me. besides I danced at your cousin's wedding." Raelle said, turning to face the taller girl. She held out her hand "Besides dancing was one part of my culture my mom and Quinn assured that I would know." 

Abigail nodded and accepted her hand pulling her into an easy slow dance. Her left hand on Abigail's right shoulder, her own right hand clasped in Abigail's left. A hand settling on her upper back, she relaxed and let Abigail lead them though whatever steps she wanted. It wasn't much they stumbled as they waltzed, tequila flowing through veins alongside blood. They laughed as they moved, leaning on each other spinning around the gazebo in and out of sight of the guitar player, his song slowed to their dance, a perfect 3 part harmony between them and a stranger. The song ended and the stranger applauded them.

"That was a beautiful dance, ladies, would you like another?" he asked, holding his guitar close. 

"Sure, we have time for one more before we need to get home." Abigail said, turning so that they both faced the musician without needing to let go of each other. "How about it?" She asked.

"Why not?" Raelle said allowing Abigail to lead her through their second dance, open jacket whipping around her back as Abigail's leg brushed past her own, gravel spraying up as heels dug in and swung around, dragging feet across the floor as they glided around the gazebo once more. The musician strummed his guitar, speeding up the dance as they moved before coming to a stop chest to chest, lungs heaving for air, face tilted up to look at her partner. 

She smiled as Abigail leant down to kiss her, pulling her ever tighter as if trying to make them one person, as if she wanted their very souls to touch.
