"Yeah?" He smiles at that and finally pulls his hand out from under Jedao so he can reach for a sandwich too. "I loved those. Still love dancing with you." Completely impractical, absolutely for nothing but fun, even though he does subconsciously assure himself, every time, that it's good for his balance and coordination.
His breath hitches at the memory Jedao calls up, and he ducks down to press his face into Jedao's neck as a flush of heat rises up his neck. At least he remembers to put the sandwich he'd picked up down before he squashes it in his hand. "Force," he breathes into Jedao's skin. "I'd hardly touched anyone for so long, and-" He shakes his head a little, breathing still slightly uneven, remembering the delicacy of Jedao's touch on skin that even now he so rarely bares, that even now is gloved- "Yeah, I definitely almost broke in half."
Says Quentin, coming back over, dropping a second plate down. This one is chopped fresh vegetables, with a bowl of hummus. He's sensible of Fives' need for bulk and protein.
Fives smiles, hidden other than the press of it against Jedao's skin, then finally lifts his head again.
"It feels good to move to, and it's challenging. Almost like sparring, sometimes." When your blood is up and you've really locked into a really good opponent, so you both move almost as one.
He picks up his abandoned sandwich again and this time manages to get it to his mouth, humming happily at the spiciness of the cream cheese with the cool cruch of the cucumber.
"I remember dancing with you at that Winter Solstice, Fives."
A very different dance, but an equally significant milestone in their lives. Back when they were taking their first tottery steps towards having something together, shortly after the intervention of the mistletoe.
"And I remember Jedao looking at you in that jacket."
"Dancing with you was nice." Much better than trying not to watch Jedao and Missy dance. "And I love that jacket," he adds, and shivers at Jedao's voice in his ear. "I can always wear it for you again." It's just tucked away in one of the lockers in his mostly unused cabin.
His voice is more than a little rough when he continues, teasing, "And yes, better speed that hand-feeding up, ner'karta."
Quentin's arrives with more plates- halloumi with honey to dip in, just cooling enough now that it shouldn't burn either of them. Dried apricots, almonds, and small pieces of sausage. This time, he pulls up a chair to join them.
"You should. Though we'll have to manufacture an occasion."

"What kind of music do you dance to?"

It most resembles something like Paso Doble.

Not the jacket itself so much, just-
"I swear his mouth watered."

He leans in, the better to purr in Fives' ear.
"Quentin's right. I was riveted."

Of course he can come up with a way to do that.
