《con bravura acceso - twoset one shots》XXIII. salut d'amour by Edward Elgar

When it's three am and both men find themselves awake, what's the most logical thing to do than go outside and waltz to this song even if it isn't in waltz meter.
Third Person POV
It wasn't uncommon for the two men to be awake at this hour in the morning. Both just wanted to get work done but they find that they're more productive during that time. What's unusual though, is the fact that they've done everything that they're supposed to. Three in the mornings were usually when filled with mugs of coffee and work.
It was just by accident that both of them fell asleep late in the afternoon. Both men just couldn't go back to sleep. Not at this stage when they know that coming back to bed would be futile. Brett prepared them coffee as Eddy grabbed a couple of merch hoodie from their closet.
Both met at the living room when their respective tasks were done. Eddy was the first one to sip coffee while Brett slipped on the hoodie Eddy grabbed. When both were wearing hoodies, Eddy had a strange idea.
"Brett, the moon's shining bright. Let's go to the balcony."
Brett didn't respond but only followed Eddy, grabbing their mugs of coffee. They were both night persons, but Eddy appreciated the nightlife more. He wasn't one to go out and party every night and get wasted on bars. Eddy was the type of guy who loved three am joyrides and the quiet of convenience stores in the wee hours of the morning. Eddy was the type of nightlife that's quiet yet alive. He was more of the party's over type of guy.
Brett, on the other hand, was the type of nightlife that you would described. He was the life of the party, he was fun and he never gets too drunk. He's just tipsy enough to feel a bit more confident about himself. Brett was the type of nightlife that's fun, loud but he was still grounded. He was the main party.

They balance out each other like that. Together, they were the couple where the sober one considers it a joyride when he picks the tipsy one up. They were the couple who made shopping at a convenience store fun. They were perfect for each other and no one can deny that. Everyone could see that they were simply destined for each other.
So, there they were. Outside the balcony and gazing at the stars and admiring the full moon that shines brightly on them. There were no distance between Brett and Eddy as they finished their coffee.
Brett had an idea to make it more fun.
He set their now empty mugs on the table and pulled his phone out from his pocket. Eddy was confused but still followed suit. Brett put on salut d'amour by Elgar on repeat and asked Eddy for a dance.
Who was Eddy to refuse a dance from his terrible dancer of a boyfriend?
Eddy opened his palm for Brett's hand to rest on. Brett placed his hand on top of Eddy's open hand and interlocked then together. Eddy put his other hand on Brett's waist and Brett put his free hand on Eddy's shoulder. They start of easy by swaying side by side.
Eddy decided to teach Brett waltz step. Even if the piece wasn't in waltz meter, they waltzed to it.
"Brett, if I put my my left foot forward you bring your right foot back and we slide a little on the side. Then for the next step, you put your right foot forward and I put my left foot back. We slide back to where we originally from. That's the box waltz." Eddy explained.
Both of them were smiling ridiculously at the irony of it. They were waltzing to salut d'amour at three am, on their balcony with the moon shining down on them. Eventually, both got tired of the waltz step and decided to just away from side to side, like they initially did.

Their foreheads touching and both their eyes closed. They listen to the piece and rhythmically sway to it. They whispered sweet nothings for other to hear. They pour out their unspoken sentiments to each other. Sentiments that aren't mentioned in broad daylight because it seems too vulnerable and private.
They also talk about nothing and everything all at once. Brett was even humming the melody of the piece. Another reason why they balance out each other nicely is the fact that Brett can sing and Eddy can dance.
It's the talents that they haven't expanded on, only because they were more focused with their violin playing. It was their passion, more than anything else. Music is simply like second nature to them. It's more than what people think.
It's one of the things that keep them together. They drive each other to do their best and encourage the other to keep on going. It doesn't matter if it's Brett and Eddy or Eddy and Brett.
What matters is they love each other until the end of their lifetime.

[Archive] Legend of the Nameless Hero
A WhiteSamurai original Web Novel There are always the mysterious tales of heroes, those who fight against the Demons, who fight for justice and those who head mighty quests against tyranny. Heroes that are born to destiny, Heroes that are forged through tragedy, and Heroes that are brought to the world in times of great peril and strife. Not all true Heroes are wanted or beloved, but all life understands, that throughout all time and space, for those who truly stand as Heroes, they never need to be called one. The sands of time are the only true judge for those who journey upon the true path, the only one they will ever need. This is the tale, no, the Legend, the Legend of the one who throughout all time, would forever be, the First Hero. This is Their story, a story of true hardship, of a sorrow greater than any other that would stand as a symbol of inspiration no matter the test of time. A tale of darkness, a true curse, an impending evil hidden beyond the horizons that threatened the very future of existence. This is the tale, of one of the few great figures, who, in the face of true evil, continued to stand. . . . _______________________________________________________________ :Disclaimer: _______________________________________________________________ . . . All Chapters are subject to sudden revision, scrapping, or complete removal from the canonical storyline. The author of "Legend of the Nameless Hero" uses RoyalRoad as a method of experimentation with genre's and writing styles for Fantasy-style works for the sake of eventual publication. The end result isn't to release perfect chapters on RoyalRoadl, but eventually develop the story as intended using the best material to produce the highest quality work. The best mentality when reading works from WhiteSamurai is to see it as the ability to read and review pre-release transcripts or "Rough Copies" before publication. Viewer discretion and maturity are both requested and required. . . . _______________________________________________________________ :About: _______________________________________________________________ . . . This story follows direct character point of views along with an intentional third person narrative to explain to the readers what the characters won't. (I don't use my characters to go give extensive explanations for every last thing like EVERYTHING DOES) This tale shall encompass the life of the Hero from the moment she is summoned into the Kingdom of Kremor, to the Legendary Final Clash. This isn't your run of the mill hack and slash raise an army and conquer, I don't follow that bandwagon. Real life holds politics, intrigue, economics, structure, populations, civil opinions, history, psychology, heart, suffering, wonder, advancement, curiosity, ambition, and so many more things that would lead to me hitting some character limit. I refuse to take the same route that others use by simply ignoring these factors, my worlds, my stories, are as real as they get. There's no plot armor here, if someone screws up, they've screwed up and there's no magical sword in a well for them. I write in 'Seasons' not 'Books' as many often do, these are generally, not always, hundreds of chapters long, though as I have yet to finish a season, the average length is in the air. I go by an ideal of what I call 'Universal Lore' which includes the policy that things that exist within the story don't follow the rule where the Protagonist needs to be there so that it will happen. There will be some things that will happen, and the hero, and sometimes the reader, won't know happened until they enter a place, or news gets to them. A person needs to be in the right place at the right time, I hate plot holes and meta characters above all else... For my works, comments are practically demanded as reactions, thoughts, and various viewpoints are like sweet fuel to my writing spirit. Reviews are highly accepted and appreciated, BUT ONLY IF THEY ARE EDUCATED AND THOROUGHLY EXPLAINED. Those that throw down a low rating ARE HIGHLY REQUESTED to extensively detail and explain their viewpoints on the work. They should also be willing to come back to the work at a later date if messaged by the Author, Me, due to issues they mentioned being taken care of. I'm never against scrapping a chapter or rewriting several paragraphs if there are character or story discrepancies. I want the highest quality work possible, and every comment, every review, are tools for me to use to further that goal. . . . Enjoy the work. ~White Status: (Ongoing)
