Now I stared at you
From across the room
Until both my eyes were faded
I was in a rush
I was out of luck
Now I'm so glad that I waited
Well you were almost there
Almost mine
Billy watched him. The speakers were blaring out some song he didn't recognise. His eyes were on just one person.
The music switched.
Hear the song playing on background
All alone but you're turning up now
And everyone is rising to meet you,
to greet you
Johnathan was on the middle of the dance floor. Of course he was. Billy was caught, held helpless by the figure who moved so beautifully on the floor. Just like he did on the footy field. The white shirt he was wearing was clinging to his body and if the light was any better in here, he knew he'd be able to see the wings through the soaked shirt.
Everyone was drawn to Johnathan, moving around him in clusters. Billy was almost jealous. Maybe almost was being too kind. The music switched again.
Turn around and you're walking toward me
I'm breaking down
and you're breathing slowly
Say the word and I will be your man,
your man, say when
Billy froze as Johnathan turned and their eyes met. He was caught. Johnathan smiled. That blinding smile. Johnathan held out a hand, dancing his way closer to Billy. Billy stood stock still as Johnathan moved across the floor towards him. Maybe if he stood really still , Johnathan wouldn't see him. But he obviously did. Johnathan came to a halt in front of him and said something Billy couldn't hear through the sound of the music. But he understood anyway.
"Dance with me"
Billy hesitated. This was his fantasy. His dream. Dancing with Johnathan right now would be real and it might end up a disaster. He didn't want reality ruining his dream. Then Johnathan stepped closer.
"Don't think so much. Come dance with me" he whispered in Billy's ear.
Billy felt Jay's warm breath in his ear and shivered. Johnathan laughed and took his wrist and pulled him on to the dance floor.
The song had changed again.
Come close and then even closer
We bring it in but we go no further
We're separate
two ghosts in one mirror, no nearer
Johnathan was all around him. And the music was so loud and Billy had no space to think. Just flow. Johnathan wrapped his arms around Billy's neck and Billy's hands flew automatically to his waist. His heart was beating in time to the music and he had his beautiful boy in his arms and this was better than anything Billy had ever felt in his life.
When the song switched, Billy came back to reality. And Johnathan obviously felt him tense because he slowed, and drew closer.
"Billy" Johnathan's voice whispered in his ear. Billy looked at him. The dark hair was a messy halo around his head. Billy lifted up a hand to touch the stray strands.
It was now or never. He leaned forward and kissed him. This was his dream. Johnathan drew him in and Billy melted against him. This was his reality.
...
Billy kissed him and Johnathan felt his heart do flips in his chest. He hadn't been sure if things would work out. Just a whole lot of hope in his heart and Cam's promise to bring Billy to the night club. But when Billy had touched his hair like that, with that wistful smile on his face, Johnathan had known things would be alright. And they were. All that time wondering how it would feel like to have Billy in his arms, to have him so close that he could feel Billy's heart beat against his own and here they were. Billy was looking at him like he'd wanted this too and Johnathan could never wish for anything more.
Now you were fine by night
But when the morning light comes
Comfortable as rain on Sunday
And I’m a lucky soul
That holds your hand so tight
Hope you hear this one day
Don’t fool yourself
This is my truth
From across the room
Until both my eyes were faded
I was in a rush
I was out of luck
Now I'm so glad that I waited
Well you were almost there
