Slowly, the sun was setting beyond the horizon, creating a brilliantly beautiful image of orange as the day drew to a close. Canterlot High, while having ended its lessons for the day, nevertheless retained a few students and faculty here and there, largely for the sake of catching up with friends and the like. But, there came a time when even they began to depart, creating an air of vacancy and quiet around the entire place. However, in spite of this, there was still one figure in particular who dwelt in that school, looking out at the town beyond from atop its roof. Flash Sentry, who, unlike most days, was clad not in his usual casual attire, but instead a somewhat fetching tuxedo, complete with a bow-tie. Nervously, he adjusted said tie, taking in a few deep and calming breaths, as if anticipating something, and it was not long before that something finally made itself known.
The unmistakeable sound of someone opening and closing a door behind him caused him to give a little knowing smile, and slowly, he turned, his eyes widening when he saw who it was that had arrived onto the scene. Sunset Shimmer. His girlfriend. His lover. The girl who mattered more than he could ever truly say. And tonight, she looked more beautiful to his eyes than ever. Like him, she too was not dressed in her usual garb, but instead, a dress. It was a bright red, exposing all of her shoulders and arms, and stretched all the way down to her just below her knees. And to complete the image? A pair of similarly-red high heeled shoes. Also, it couldn't be ignored that the dress seemed rather "snug" for her, particularly around her chest and hips, not that Flash was going to complain about that of course. She walked to her boyfriend, wherein the latter noticed a slight sway to her hips as she did so, and upon her face was an amorous look that he could not help but return.
Within moments, the two were barely an inch away from each other, exactly how they wanted it. For a time, they said nothing, simply staring lovingly into one another's eyes. But, this static silence was ended when, at last, Flash raised a hand, offering it to his partner. Sunset gently placed her own within it, and for just a second, the two enjoyed the feel of each others skin as they held. But, the moment eventually passed, and instead, the young lovers began that which they had come here to do; they started to dance. Taking her hand, Flash raised it to above both of their heads, and as he did this, Sunset gracefully spun in place, her skirt twirling wide with the effort. When the spin was done, she moved over to him, and when he held her, he leaned her back, her eyes closing as she was lowered to almost ground level. But seconds after, Flash drew her back up, and once back together, Sunset carefully placed her hand upon his cheek, to which he, of course, smiled.
But the dance resumed, and, with one hand on her hip and one in her hand, Flash started to take steps back and forth from that spot. Sunset, likewise, began to move along with him, her steps perfectly in-line with his, and not once did the two ever break eye-contact as they were doing this, showing just how much they were tuned into one another. When those steps stopped, Sunset let go of him, spinning in a little flamboyant manner just a few feet away from him and, while she was facing away, raised her left foot and caressed the back of her right calf, before looking over her shoulder and giving him a sensuous look. Flash, to his credit, remained completely professional, smiling but never once breaking out into the kind of blush he might have done under normal circumstances, and before long, Sunset walked right back to him, joining him for further dancing.
Slowly, she placed one hand upon his shoulder, and he, in turn, placed a free hand behind her, to the mid-point of her back, where he promptly drew her closer. When their bodes gently pressed against each other from this gesture, Sunset smirked, but continued to look over his shoulder as he did this. Once more, the lovers got back into their prior step-by-step movements, and at one point, Sunset raised her leg and wrapped it around Flash's, taking a moment to look into his eyes like before. Flash, of course, returned the look, bringing his face just millimetres from hers, as though a kiss between them was imminent. But instead, and after the former unicorns leg returned to its previous position, they carried on, continued to step back and forth, and left and right, in perfect unison. In fact, there came a point where Flash, quite expertly it must be said, placed both hands upon her middle and lifted her up, Sunset striking a pose as it happened.
Once she was lowered, and with no sign of fatigue on Flash's part at having done it, they resumed their movements, with Flash leaning her towards the ground again, taking one hand and caressing her cheek while her head was thrown back. Sunset smiled to this, even though her eyes were closed again, and before long, her partner drew her back up, where they returned to their steps, broken only by the occasional spin from Sunset. On and on this went, with this romantic get-together appearing nothing short of professional and well-choreographed, as though the two had practiced a thousand times, away from prying eyes. Soon though, the dance came to its end, with the two holding each other close. Their expressions were blank and hard to read for a time, but eventually, this façade broke, and they started grinning like idiots, laughing together. When that laughter died down, Sunset sighed.
"Well then...I think it's safe to say that this was fun."
Flash nodded in agreement.
"Can't argue with that. But next time, let's bring some music. Feels weird to dance in silence like this."
Sunset nodded back.
"Sure. Like what?"
Flash considered that for a moment before smiling to her.
"How about that French one?"
Sunset raised an eyebrow.
"Oh, you mean the one everybody's heard but nobody can ever remember the name to?"
Again, Flash nodded.
"Yep, that's the one. Would you like it?"
Slowly, Sunset gave her lover another amorous look, moving closer into his embrace and planting a tender kiss upon his lips. When they parted, Flash, at long last, broke out into one of his usual blushes.
"Okay...I'll take that as a yes."
