[To be fair, cheese is delicious and Murdoc loves it. He loves Dirk nearly as much as cheese, but not quite as much.] I suppose I am. Though I'd hardly compare myself to vermin.

[He frowns at the jab.] I didn't take you as a leader. Or a dancer, for that matter..

[plushaeusrumpified]

[Excuse you but Bro is better than any cheese you could ever find.] I wouldn't expect you to, but you set yourself up for it anyway.

And I'm just full of surprises, what can I say? [He's gonna keep leading, then, moving along in time to the music with surprising grace for someone like him. He has plans, but now isn't the time even though he's getting impatient. They've only just started, after all.

But soon.]

[wwistful]

[Does Bro go as well with shiraz as gorgonzola does? Yes he does. Bro goes very well with nice wine, Murdoc knows this from experience.] I seem to have a knack for that around you.

[Murdoc settles a bit more into the sway of the music. He enjoys the form of dancing, but he doesn't much enjoy the merriment of it. He likes it when he's done right and it's kind of obvious.]

You've been one surprise after another since you planted that kiss on me, actually. [He smirks a little.] I haven't minded it terribly, either.

[plushaeusrumpified]

[He smiles lightly at that, but doesn't say much. It's when Murdoc speaks again that his smile widens and he lets out a laugh.]

You ain't really seen nothing yet, babe.

[That may or may not be a little ominous, but Murdoc won't have much of a chance to respond, because guess what? The music's hit a faster pace now, and it's time for him to initiate a twirl.

So go, Murdoc, twirl, because that's what he's urging you to do.]

[wwistful]

I've seen enough to keep me wantin' more.
[He returns Dirk's smile with a sly grin and he waggles a single brow at him. He can be hopelessly cheesy at the weirdest times.

And so can Dirk, apparently. He's not sure if he wants to twirl, actually. He's begining to feel a little self concious in this position. Really, Dirk should be doing the twirling. Yet, he feels himself moving along with it. Such is the influence Dirk has over him, he supposes.

He doesn't look at all impressed about doing this.]

[plushaeusrumpified]

[Murdoc may be feeling self conscious, but Bro doesn't. Not at all. In fact, this is more fun than he's had in a long while. It feels good to be doing something like this without worry. And Bro is always going to be the twirler and not the twirlee, sorry to say.

When it's time to pull him back in, he gives him a tug and then catches him, arms sliding around him to pull him close. He leans in, his face a couple of inches from Murdoc's.]

You want more, then you can fuckin' have more.

[And then he dips him low and kisses him right the fuck there in front of everyone.]

[wwistful]

[It rarely seems as if Dirk is the one feeling self conscious. Unless his glasses are off, of course, but Murdoc doesn't relate self conscious feelings back to such gorgeous things.

Murdoc is just going to allow Dirk to do whatever he likes with him at this point. Mostly because he's so close to swooning it's embarrassing.]

Y-
[He doesn't have time to finish that sentence before he's scuffling as Dirk dips him. He starts to go red in the face, not quite kissing back as he tries to gather his wits. He's just staring wide-eyed up at Dirk.]

[plushaeusrumpified]

[Murdoc's reaction is nothing short of amusing, but to Bro's credit, he doesn't laugh into the kiss or even really let on to how funny he finds it. He knew this would be a big risk, and he knew that it might unnerve him a little to be in this type of situation. But to Bro, it's worth it. He's just going to keep kissing Murdoc though, supporting his weight as he keeps Murdoc in the dip, arms locked tightly around him. He's going to fucking kiss him until Murdoc forgets everyone else, until it's as if they're the only two in the room. Because that's how Bro feels sometimes, as if he can see Murdoc and only Murdoc. If he can share that feeling, then it'll be fucking worth it.]

[wwistful]

[Slowly but surely, Murdoc is feeling that. He'd been scared of being dropped, but he feels supported by Dirk. He knows he isn't going to fall. He can still feel eyes on him, but there's no reason to feel ashamed or scared anymore, is there? The wedding is cancelled, Sybille had left. He's a free man and he makes his own choices.

Good choices.

And while kissing his boyfriend in the school dance may not be considered the most appropriate thing, it feels good. It's liberating. He can feel himself losing himself in the moment more and more as he realises how good Dirk makes him feel.]

[plushaeusrumpified]

[There's absolutely no way that Bro will drop him. He wouldn't ruin the moment by doing something as stupid at that. He's got him in a strong, yet gentle grip and Murdoc ain't going anywhere. It makes him feel good when he can feel Murdoc relaxing into his arms, and that just makes him kiss him more passionately.

While kissing in front of everyone may be pretty inappropriate, there's no denying how good it feels to finally be doing it. To not care what people might be thinking, or to have to hide it. He's waited for this for so long and the fact it's finally here is just nice. Better than nice. It's amazing. He can't help but smile against Murdoc's lips finally, letting out a happy little hum into the kiss.]
