Once upon a time, Aeryn would have blushed at such a public display of affection, but she had learned quickly not to shy away. Merle had taught the redhead a lot and while she might not have initially realised Beka's intentions, all that had changed, making the security chief happy and proud to be called the Doctor's girlfriend. Aeryn also knew how Beka had been burned before and had no issue providing that reassurance, that she wasn't going anywhere, as Beka hooked her arm around hers, and rested her head on Aeryn's shoulder.
Enjoying the close contact made Aeryn feel invincible before Beka cheered and teased Robin about her performance, separating the pair for the moment, as Beka then reacted to what Aeryn said next. " I know you will," Aeryn remarked, grinning following the gentle nudge to her ribs.
Beka's confidence was just one thing that had added to Aeryn's attraction, loving her ability to just be herself, almost like it radiated from her. Watching with that same pride burning in her eyes like a moth to a flame, Aeryn knew that she was in for a treat, regardless of what song Beka had chosen. Recognising the music instantly, Aeryn's face became alight with interest, as she loved Halestorm, having been introduced to them at an early age.
Her gaze never left Beka's enjoying the sound of her voice and the altered lyrics, feeling as though they were the only people in the room. For Beka to sing directly to her, was something else entirely and Aeryn's reaction reflected her appreciation and enjoyment. It also reminded her that it would be her turn soon enough, but she was far from scared at the prospect because she had the support of Beka and Robin. Once Beka had finished, Aeryn clapped loudly until her girlfriend approached and kissed her. Relishing the contact between them, Aeryn returned the kiss, not caring who saw them, because they didn't have to hide who they were and that they were now a couple.
" Exactly, there's no need for you to apologise, and I loved it".
Downing the rest of her drink, and giving Beka a quick kiss on the cheek, Aeryn approached the stage, taking a few minutes to select her song. Satisfied she had found the perfect one, Aeryn took a deep breath as the music started.
"Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell
Jimmy Rogers on the Victrola up high
Mama's dancing with a baby on her shoulder
The sun is settin' like molasses in the sky.
The boy could sing, knew how to move, everything
Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for".
Her voice was shaky, to begin with, but as time went on it grew in strength, and all nerves were completely obliterated.
"Black velvet and that little boy's smile
Black velvet with that slow Southern style
A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees
Black velvet if you please".
On it went and Aeryn swayed to the beat, but did little other than concentrate on her voice and make sure that she didn't mess up the lyrics. Then, just as soon as it had begun, the song came to an end, and Aeryn stepped down with a buzz that no one could take away from her.
