Suikoden III, Percival/Borus, dancing, Percival teaching Borus - 3/3
"You see? Lift, and then twist," he said, taking the next step as Borus stumbled to try to follow. "And then, we bend."
As he spoke, he placed a hand at the small of Borus' back and bent him over deeply, their faces almost touching and one of his knees sliding between Borus' legs to maintain their balance. Borus flailed and grabbed him around the waist, his blue eyes wide and entirely too fetching.
They held that pose for a moment or two. A high flush was rising on Borus' cheeks and Percival seriously considered blowing his mind by kissing it off of his face.
It was at that moment that the door opened. "Are you ready to go Borus? Perci...val..." Lady Chris stood in the doorway, a flush rising her her cheeks.
Borus squeaked and let go, tumbling to the floor as Percival straightened. "Ah, my Lady Chris," Percival said, beaming. "I was just teaching Borus the finer points of commoner dances. You look lovely this evening."
And she did. Her silver hair was coiled on top of her head tonight and she wore a dress of pale blue - a beautiful dress, but not of a style that would be out of place. Percival's mother had outdone herself.
Borus jumped to his feet, gaping. "L-Lady Chris, you look, um, beautiful."
She rubbed her hands self-consciously down her skirts. "T-thank you," she said awkwardly. "So Borus, does that mean that you're planning to dance tonight?"
"If you'll dance with me," he blurted out. Percival saw his eyes widen in horrified realization of what he'd just said.
Lady Chris laughed. "That sounds wonderful," she said. "You and I can fumble around and embarrass ourselves together, shall we?"
Borus darted over to her and offered his arm. "Percival's taught me one of the dances," he assured her confidently. "I'll lead you through it, my Lady."
"Hey wait, Borus," Percival exclaimed, but Borus wasn't listening. Arm-in-arm with his the smiling Lady Chris and still blushing, he escorted her away.
Percival lowered his own arm and sighed, then let out a laugh and moved to follow.
Hopefully if Borus did perform that dance with Chris, she wouldn't realize that Percival had completely made up that last bit to screw with the other knight.
