A/N: Double drabble.
“I’m not sure we thought things through when we signed up for ballroom dancing classes,” Ryo admitted as they arrived for their first lesson and stepped into a hall full of couples.
“What d’you mean?” Dee gave his lover a quizzical look. “You’re the one said you’d like to dance like they do on Strictly, and Dancin’ with the Stars.”
“I know, and I would, but… which of us is supposed to lead?”
“Me, of course!” Dee grinned. “I’m taller, so I gotta be the guy. That way I can dip ya!” Grabbing Ryo, he suited his actions to his words, and it was only Ryo’s karate-honed sense of balance that kept them both from winding up in a heap on the floor.
“Idiot!”
“Okay, so that needs some work.” Dee grinned sheepishly. “They make it look easy on the TV.”
“Only because they practice for hours on end. We haven’t had a single lesson yet, and you’re already trying fancy moves! Now everyone’s staring at us!”
It was true, every eye in the room was on them, and then the applause started. Ryo felt his face heating up.
Dee just laughed. “Guess that’s one way of breakin’ the ice!”
The End
