I keep seeing this here and there... What is a 'prompt'?

It's a writing exercise. The FAQ is here.

H'mm, I like the portrayal of the main character in this story - particularly the way he's so uncoordinated at first, but gradually gets the hang of it, and the way his consciousness 'melts' when they kiss. Cool work.

Thanks.

Welcome. ^^

Ahhh, Romance. It still surprises me sometimes just how little a thing can light up her eyes. Nice capture here, Xaqtly.

Yeah, sometimes it's just a tiny thing but if it's exactly what she wanted, that makes all the difference.

*giggles*

I just couldn't help hearing a different version of that song in my head... "Do the chairs in your parlor, seem empty and bare? Do you gaze at your bald head, and wish you had hair...", followed by a fit of uncontrollable laughter... that's still my all-time favorite Elvis song! =~.^=

*chuckles and shakes her head*

Okay, back to the point now... this is a lovely little piece of work! I can so imagine how many people can relate to Kantaro's insecureness about his dance steps. You showed it very well; the continuous recurring of the counting in his mind is a great touch! And the smooth way how the feeling of the moment gradually takes over... very well done. A very enjoyable read =~.^=

Yeah, I relate to it too, I'm terrible at dancing. At least Kan is able to get better at it. Thanks for the comment.

Good times...You did well without using dialouge...it can be hard for a lot of people, but I actually prefer not having much dialogue.

Thanks! I wanted to at least try it, to see if I could make it work.

Definitely...it is always good to try new things

It's nice to see you succeeded with your story without a word of dialog. *chuckles* I have the opposite problem, but I'm getting better at it.

Anyways, very nice little story here. I do like the mood you manage to set here. You can also get a good feel of the background without you really wasting a lot of time describing it.

*thumbs up*

Thanks.

well done

Thanks for reading.

Thank you. I love the romantic stuff too. I'm happy you liked it.

I agree. A very nice slice of romance, and I loved the way the count faded away at the end.

Charming. Interesting. I liked this, it's short and sweet, rather light, and very enjoyable. Nothing much to say, there's very little I can note about. Very short little tale with no dialog at all but with a great mood in it.

Well done, I enjoyed reading this.

Thanks.

I love the rythm you gave this, what a wonderful spin on the prompt topic. The little bits of imagery of the room they were in was very nice, too, the candles, and the furniture moved aside, romantic, yet humble and cozy, and it melted away like a chocolate in my mouth. Very well done.

Thanks. I'm happy you liked it.

now that was absolutely delightful - going right into the dance and placing our minds within the music...

*hugs...

Thank Vixyy, I had fun writing it.
