Twenty Six
Lucas watched in anticipation as the spotlight shone on his boyfriend. He looked absolutely ethereal when all the lights went out except the lone spotlight that was shining down on him. The auditorium went quiet when Elijah finally lifted his head up and the music started playing.
Lucas had no idea what to expect. He never heard the song or watched Elijah practice before. For all he knew he could go all dubstep breakdown mode and bust out into some complicated choreography. That quickly changed though when the soft piano instrumental of a ballad began to play. Elijah started to move his fingers along with the piano riff, moves subtle and underplayed at first. But as the song started to build up, he began to dance his heart out, moving around the stage, spinning and twirling around and officially marking it his own even if just for a while.
