"Hey uh, Derp...? D'you er, wanna dance?" We were at Crainer's New Years party and it was in full swing. Everyone was on the dance-floor with their partners but a few. We were part of that few. He looked at me. I guess he might've seen it coming. I'd been stealing furtive glances at him from time to time, my foot tapping absently to the beat. He smiled a little. "If you wanna." I stood up as he did and awkwardly trotted onto the floor. Psychedelic floor tiles flashed on and off with their vibrant colours, throwing wild light over the dancers. I stood there for a little bit, watching their intimate dances or their crazy styles, their bodies always moving in sync.

I wasn't sure why'd I'd asked Derp now. I hated dancing. Then, an arm suddenly went round my waist and I was pulled back into Derp's chest. My head bumped lightly against it and his warm scent filled my mind in an instant. His hands were at my waist as he wandered around the dance-floor in his own coordinated sway, humming to himself. I pursed my lips, face burning as he pulled me a little closer. "See Ian; dancing!" "Derp." I said through gritted teeth. "Let go of me..." He looked down at me through his floppy hair. "Why?" I stared back, suddenly unsure of myself. 'I don't feel like dancing''s thumping beat came on and he grinned at me before taking my hands and starting to swing me round.

At first I felt awkward as hell, then I loosened up, diving round and up through his arms, laughing along with him. His crooked eyes followed me in his lopsided gaze as I weaved round him, grinning widely. As the chorus changed he brought me closer into a proper dancing hold, taking a few steps back and to the side, forward; side. I followed him and realised I was actually dancing! I laughed at myself as I nearly tripped up, losing concentration. Derp was just smiling at me; almost dreamily? I wondered when he'd learnt how to dance. Come to think of it, I could've sworn I'd heard music on once as I had entered the house, only for it to be hurriedly switched off and for him to leap downstairs and collide with me. I was brought out of my reverie as he took my hand and whirled me round suddenly. I lost my balance and fell against him. He laughed and I felt my face burn as it rubbed against the silky fabric of his shirt. The song ended and the familiar tunes of another song came on. 'Everytime we touch'.

I gazed up at Derp, his face lit with the sudden blue pulsating lights coming on as the base throbbed in the chorus. Can't you hear my heart beat so, I can't let you go, need you in my life... I bit my lip and stood up straight, my face still burning. Derp tilted his head to one side as the chorus ended, the next verse starting up. People were dancing all around us as star effects filtered down around as the song progressed, the base pounding back through me in time to my sudden racing heartbeat. Then Derp's hands were back on my waist, drawing me close to him. In an instant he was tilting my face up to his, leaning in. My heart pounded as his lips found mine, my head aching from intense dizziness as he kissed me, my eyes closing. The song came to an end, drawing up to its last climax before filtering out. No one noticed us still standing entwined on the dance floor. Counting Stars came on swiftly but I was oblivious to the song; I slowly melted away into the soothing feeling of Derp's soft warm lips on mine. He drew away and I gazed back at him for a little while, love burning through me. Such a hot feeling as I had not experienced before now. "Ian..." "Y-yes Derp?" "Are you...ok with me liking you?" I smiled. "Yes." He was blushing furiously, his crooked eyes hot with bashfulness and...lust?

I leant back into his chest, listening to his throbbing heartbeat. Everything that kills me...makes me feel alive- I leapt back up again, unable to contain myself any longer, pressing my lips hard against Derp's as the chorus came back in. The song ended and I drew away, sparks rushing through me like a wild fire. Derp was looking at me wide eyed. "Y-you like m-me too?" I nodded. "Yes." He smiled, resting his forehead against mine. I gazed blissfully into his eyes. His beautiful crooked eyes...they caught the changing lights, deepening, shimmering... "I love you SSundee." I kissed him softly before moving away a tiny bit, leaving enough space to talk; my lips grazing his as I did so, lost in the intimacy of his proximity and passionate gaze. "I love you too Derp."

A little while later I sat at the sidelines with a drink, talking with Crainer. "How's you and Sophie?" He smiled bashfully, looking down at his drink. "Well she...I..." I smiled knowingly as he gave up, gazing out at the dance-floor, his green eyes following her as she wandered around, chatting with friends. Laughing. "Ah what can I say Ian? She's perfect... How 'bout you? Anyone you like?" I gestured to Derp dancing to himself in the corner with a wide smile. "Him." "Who?" "The one with the crooked eyes." Crainer followed my gaze before smiling. "Aw. That's cute." I leant on my hand, gazing at Derp affectionately. "Yeah. He is."

Derp sat down beside me as Crainer went to Sophie for the last dance before midnight. I yawned, curling up on the sofa seat and snuggling into him. He pulled his legs up beside him, my head in his lap as he slowly stroked my hair, humming to himself again. "Derp?" I mumbled. "Yeah Ian?" "What are you humming?" "I'm humming a song about you." I smiled. "What song?" "Can't tell you that." "Why?" "'Cus then it wouldn't be mine." I sat up, my head on his shoulder as he gazed away into space. "Derp." He looked round at me, his icy blue eyes sparkling in the lights. "Mm?" I kissed his lips. "I could be yours..." He smiled. "Really?" I laugh softly, slipping my arms round his neck and leaning back into another kiss as his hands held me at the waist, tugging me gently into his lap. I drew away, letting our noses touch still. "Yep..." His eyes darkened a little with passion as his mouth connected with mine, lust and love dancing through the kiss. I kissed back, my fingertips playing with his hair as 'Heart skips a beat' came on.

My heart was certainly skipping beats. Derp drew away, smirking a little. "Did you like that?" I smiled, nuzzling into his neck. "Yeah..." He held me tightly. "That's good." I blushed. "You know you can't do anything wrong around me Derp." "I don't wanna mess up though." He mumbled. I moved my head up, kissing his cheek soothingly. "Hey, it's ok. We're both new to this. Let's just go with our instincts on this huh?" He nodded, blushing as well. I kissed his nose. "You're so cute." "You too Ian."

"10...9...8...7...6...5...4...3...2...1...HAPPY NEW YEAR!" Everyone around us cheered as a new year begun. I was entwined in Derp's arms, kissing him passionately as the party poppers and fireworks went off everywhere. Everything was so perfect.

If that was the beginning of a new year, it would indeed be a happy one for me, and Derp.

My Derp. The one with the crooked eyes...
