100 Puppies and Dragons

Light

Seto frowned and leaned back in his seat. "Atem, please tell me that we're almost finished. This is the most boring diplomatic dinner I have ever had to sit through."

Atem laughed awkwardly. "Yes, well, these people insist that we at least stay through the entertainment."

Seto sighed. "Fine."

Suddenly, all of the lights in the room went out. Seto and Atem stiffened, ready to attack, but then a light began to glow out in the middle of the floor where people had been previously dancing. The couples had moved off of the floor, however, leaving one person on the floor.

His body was draped in what looked like satin, almost see-through. It was wrapped around his waist and shoulders, and another swatch was wrapped around his head, leaving only sharp brown eyes exposed, lined heavily with black make-up.

There was a pause, a breath, before music started and the boy (man?) began to sway, twisting and curling to the sounds of the music.

Seto watched the light curve around the boy and swallowed thickly as it followed him around the dance floor. "Wow."

Atem glanced at his cousin, then smiled slightly and waved for one of the servants to approach, mindless of the darkness. He sensed one of them walk up to him and said, "I'd like to speak to your master about this dancer. Could he be perhaps sent to my cousin's bedroom after dinner?"

The slave bowed deeply to show he'd heard and turned to relay the message to his master.

Atem glanced at his cousin again. He hoped his cousin appreciated it. Then again, the way Seto's eyes followed the boy so intently, he doubted that the brunet would mind.
