6 - Class Starts

'Fucking shit.'

When it comes to flexibility, Tommy's not really the best at that subject. He mostly focused on power cause he thought it was cooler. He thought that he could get away from practicing flexibility when it came to dancing. Well, currently, that's not the case.

Niki was helping them with their flexibility exercises. She ordered the boys to do a split. Mostly spread their legs to the limit. And damn, how much Tommy was suffering.

Tommy looked to his left. It seems like Fundy (but now, Tommy knows his real name, which is Floris. Though, he still prefers to call him Fundy. Same situation as well to Tubbo, a.k.a Toby) was also struggling. Fundy then noticed that Tommy was looking at him and proceeded to lift one arm doing a thumbs up whilst doing his best to balance, then smiling at Tommy weakly. Tommy smiled back. Mmm... yes, pain and suffering.

"Alright, now that everyone seems to be balanced now, I am going to push you down towards the ground, forcing you guys a bit to go lower while doing your splits. It's gonna hurt, but you will eventually get used to it as time goes on." Niki said with once again a beautifully kind smile, but mixed with a little concern. She seems to understand the boys.

"Alrighty, let's start with Fundy."

Fundy's eyes then widened in fear. He then looked at Tommy and Tubbo and sees them look at him with a reassuring smile as if telling him 'Hey, it'll be over soon! You can get through it!'

Niki then proceeded to push Fundy down.

"SHIT-" Fundy then yelled in pain.

Tommy flinched a bit, being scared that he was next.

After for at least 10 seconds, Fundy was released and Niki had let him fall on the floor, sympathizing for him. She then looked at Tommy and smiled awkwardly, knowing what was going to happen next. Tommy then accepted his fate as she pushed him down. He then proceeded to let out a very long chain of cuss words.

"FUCK SHIT BITCH ARSE MOTHERFUCKER ASSHOLE DICK PUSSY CUNT SUCKER SHAT ONTO MY LUNCH JESUS HAROLD CHRIST-"

This went on for the whole 10 seconds he was being pushed down. Niki didn't seem to be affected from the language, as well as the other boys. They seemed to be used to this kind of stuff. Sooner than later, he was finally released. It felt like the wrath was being washed away by a really large wave of relief. He then sighed as he looked at Fundy who seemed to still be recovering from the exercise. Next thing you know, it was Tubbo's turn.

The boys looked at Tubbo with concern, knowing how horrible the pain was. But what surprised them was that Tubbo smiled at them without any worry. Then, Niki pushed him down.

Unlike the 2 other boys, Tubbo managed to reach the ground as if he didn't experience any pain. Tommy and Fundy looked at him weirdly in surprise, never knowing that Tubbo was very flexible until now.

The 10 seconds of Tubbo splitting passed like a breeze, as if nothing happened. It was as if Tubbo was used to it.

"I was born with it. So don't question it anymore." Tubbo explained while laughing, like reading Tommy and Fundy's minds. Niki then grinned at them once again.

"Well done for your first time boys! Most people would've had a breakdown, but you did absolutely amazing! Take a break, drink some water, but not too much."

Tommy and Fundy then stumbled their way to their water bottles as Tubbo walk naturally, chuckling at them.

"Dang Tubbo, dancers can only wish to be as naturally flexible as you." Fundy said with a bit of jealousy.

"Well, I'm not fully flexible. It still kinda hurts but I manage to deal with it." Tubbo points out as he sips his water once more.

The boys then sigh once again from tiredness. But then, what Niki had said next suddenly pumped adrenaline into their veins.

"Alright, now let's practice the dance!"

The boys exchanged excited smiles as they fist-bumped each other. The hype was real. The they proceeded to stand on front of the large mirror on the wall where Niki stood. Niki then smiled and then proceeded to start giving them instructions.

"Okay, so, first you lean to the right, put your hand on your crotch part, then look down..."

(For those who didn't know, putting your hand on your crotch part is normal in dance. It is common in dance routines. I'm a bit of a dancer, so I knew about this long ago. Don't be too weirded out!)

This went on for the whole session. The boys felt free and excited the whole time dancing. They seeped up everything they learned and moved freely, remembering every step by heart. Soon, it was the last recap of their dance routine. Without Niki guiding them this time of course.

The 3 boys got into position. Tubbo at the middle, Tommy at the left, Fundy at the right. Then the music started playing.

If you watched them, you could tell Niki had taught them well. You could feel the power they put into the dance. The boys' body control was amazing. The song was pretty fast so it was understood as a hard dance, but the boys manage to pull it off perfectly.

(Hello reader! Sorry for interrupting the fanfiction. As you should know, writing a whole dance routine into a description is hard, so, please make sure to look at the dance list where this song was mentioned if you want to know what the dance looks like. Also to the other dances soon mentioned in the story. Thank you for reading this note!)

Soon enough the song ended, and Niki went up and gave the boys a pat the back and then clapped. They did way better than expected.

"Alright boys, class is dismissed. Great job today! You can pack up now and leave, thank you for coming!"

The boys then high-fived each other in accomplishment. They felt proud of themselves. The boys waved goodbye to Niki and headed off. They walked home quietly. Soon enough it was time for them to separate. They waved goodbye once again and proceeded to walk home.

Once Tommy got home, he took a bath and collapsed on his bed. He soon drifted to sleep, after mumbling something whilst smiling.

"Today was amazing."
