Chapter Text
While cleaning up the last bit of the office they found both a CDs and a CD player.
Some CDs were from high school, some were from a couple years ago, some of the CDs Ronin gave to Dareth. Dareth collects CDs even though they are basically obsolete. Ronin was on the couch in the living room, looking through the big white box that held all the CDs. Dareth on the other hand was looking for a place to put the CD player in the office. Most of the music Dareth owned was jazz music, rock songs, and funky music. There was an album that caught their eyes however, that was the Songs From The Key of Life album. It was their favorite album in high school, Dareth would play it all the time for them. Their favorite song on the album was Isn't She Lovely.
“Hey, I found a place to store the CD player,” Dareth announced as he walked into the room the other person was occupying. Ronin looked up to face the man in brown, still holding the album.
“Oh look you found the Songs From The Key of Life album by Stevie Wonder. It really has been a while since I went through that box.”
“Oh this? yeah, I was just thinking about the memories we had together with these songs. Like the time you asked me to prom by standing outside my house with a boombox,” Ronin said smugly
Dareth laughed at the notion scratching the back of his head “That wasn't my best idea I'll admit, Especially since your mom came out and yelled at me”
“I’ll admit that was funny as fuck but then my mom yelled at ME “for having a boy over”” Ronin said with air quotes. Now that he thought about it, he hasn't talked to his mom in a while. Oh well. Dareth suddenly got up and extended his hand to the other. Ronin, looking confused, took the hand and was led into the office. Once they were there, they saw that the CD player was on top of the file cabinet on the back wall. Dareth took the CD that Ronin was still holding and placed it into the player.
Music started playing, Ronin was confused at first but soon realized what was going on. Dareth once again extended his hand to the other. When Ronin took the hand, Dareth started to rock their bodies left and right.
“Isn't she lovely, isn't she wonderful?” The speaker sang, arms intertwined as they swayed together. They were looking into each other's eyes. Ronin was smiling, their smile was so bright, it was a genuine smile as well. Not their normal “I about to get some money smile” a smile that expressed they were enjoying the moment. Dareth wishes he could take a picture of that smile and save it forever.
“Without you who conceived the one That's so very lovely, made from love, hey”
The song ended, the next one starting to play from the music device. All was bliss, that was until Dareth stepped on Ronins foot.
“Oh my gosh. I'm sorry, is your foot okay?” Dareth expressed his concern.
“Yeah my foot is fine, it's not like this is the first time you stepped on it,” they joke.
“Yeah but you hurt your foot recently, I didn't want to hurt it further.”
“Dareth I told you already it's fine, really,” They told the man in brown.
They spent the rest of the day dancing to old songs from their lives. Ronin didn't listen to music very often. Only when they were around Dareth or when there was music playing in the background of a restaurant or bar. As long as they were with Dareth it didn't matter what kind of music they would dance with him. Unless the song was Cbat or some random shit music, then they would care about the audio coming out of a speaker.
