My Girl
(The Temptations)

I've got sunshine on a cloudy day
when it's cold outside, I've got the month of May...

Logan loved Harry's Hideaway for several reasons, and not just because the eponymous Harry always made it a point to be well-stocked on Canadian beer. He also had an old-fashioned jukebox in the corner instead of a new-fangled speaker system like the swankier clubs downtown had. This meant that he didn't have to endure shitty dance music that was like to make him claw the upholstery from Harry's very fine bar stools, if he didn't go deaf first. Ororo teased him for that comment that first time he took her there, saying he sounded like he had the taste of an old man.

So maybe his tastes were a little dated. Long as he'd lived, could she really blame him? (Also, he knew she liked that about him. So there.)

"Pretty spry for an old man though," he said, after, grinning a little over his Lebatt Blue.

She murmured something that sounded like only half an assent over the light beer he got her.

Noting it for the challenge it was, Logan rolled his eyes, and set his beer down with a bit of a thump. The jukebox in the corner with its bright, blinking lights was calling to the change in his pockets, urging him to stand up for his hurt ego. He stood from the bar counter with purpose.

She hid away a smile of amusement when he strode back to her, the first few bars of a song she never thought he'd choose already filtering through the sparsely-populated bar.

"C'mere," he said before she could even think to comment, pulling her to her feet and steering her towards the dance floor. Her quiet laughter trailed behind them.

He waltzed her slow and steady, gave her a few spins just to prove her wrong. She thinks he might dip her (though the song doesn't really call for it) and he does so with more finesse and control than she expected (because when does he ever play by conventional rules?)

He surprised her further by murmuring a few choice lyrics along with the song. She chuckles, soft and throaty, and leaned her cheek down into his hair, hiding the smile and flush to her cheeks that she was sure he was already aware of.
