SwayThis takes place in the summer of 2002 and is just a ficlet. Wills obfuscates, leading Theo to think he can’t dance, so Theo determines to teach him. The title comes from Julie London’s version of “Sway.”

The first weekend I’d had off in the time that I’d been living with Theo, and it was raining like a son of a b***h.
“Bored, babe?” he asked as he watched me watch raindrops chase each other down the window pane. “Dance with me. We’ve never danced together.”
“I don’t dance.” I observed his reflection in the glass, and his reaction was everything I could have hoped for.
Shocked. “What do you mean you don’t dance?”
I shrugged.
Dismayed. “Everyone knows how to dance!”
I shrugged again. That wasn’t what I’d said, but it was interesting to see that was what he’d heard.
