[ action - backdated to afternoon ] Dance Like No One's Watching

[wishmadeinfire]

 [ Well, Ashura had promised his mother that he would perform for her, give her a sneak peek of sorts. And it would be rude of him not to keep a promise to his own mother. Of course, everyone knew what happened when you didn't keep your word to Amaterasu, so yes, best to swallow whatever it was she wanted you to do and just do it. 

So he told his mother where to meet and drag whatever family members she wanted along and found himself a nice clear spot. He was dressed in black pants, but no top, as per his costume. His hair was up high in a messy bun and he'd put in a few red feathers for show. He warmed up for a good five minutes and then took up position to start.]

Well, this is a piece from my company's upcoming production of The Firebird. I play the Firebird, so, I hope you enjoy.

[The dance itself was a mix of contemporary and jazz. While he was classically trained, to be a competent dancer in more modern companies one had to know several disciplines. Oh, and yes, there was a mini stereo with an ipod running on batteries near by, playing his music as he went through the piece, treating it like a real performance on a real stage. 

And oh did it feel good.]

[ooc: the dance is from the 'hummingbird' routine from So You Think You Can Dance season 3, and the music in the background is the Chairman's Dance from Memoirs of a Geisha. Look to the male (Hok) for an idea of how Ashura is dancing]

[Felix is settled close by, on a blanket, a soft smile on his lips as he watches Ashura dance, a much more peaceful and genuine expression than most might be used to from him]

[wishmadeinfire]

_{[And he was always happy to draw such expressions from his lover. He extended and contracted, pushing himself, performing like it was opening night, his eyes sometimes floating over Felix and glowing with warmth.]}

[lord_wizard]

[As was his habit, he'll catch Ashura's eye at point blow him a kiss]

[wishmadeinfire]

<sub>[He adored that. He looked for it during opening night of any performance. It always calmed him down, and he was sure that opening night was always his best night.

When he finished he trotted over to his husband, giving him a kiss.]</sub>

[lord_wizard]

That performance it going to be a hit.

[wishmadeinfire]

Just wait till I'm in full make-up.

_{[He grinned, taking a heavy swig of water and licking his lips.]}

You know, when they told me I was going to play a phoenix, I thought of you.

[lord_wizard]

Whatever for? [He has a suspicion, but wants to make Ashura say it]

[wishmadeinfire]

Your hair, for one.

_{[He smirked and leaned in, giving him a slow kiss.]}

And for reasons best kept in our pillows.

[lord_wizard]

Well then...[He smirked into the kiss]

[wishmadeinfire]

_{[He laughed, tapping the other's nose, giving him a conspiratorial smirk.]}

Maybe later we can explore said reasons.

[lord_wizard]

[Felix just chuckled]
