Dancing was your hobby so you didn't really dread practicing at the gym. Megumi, however, always have a hard time on it so you always try your best to teach him. You didn't mind really, but sometimes Megumi would be really embarrassed so you just laugh it off so he can relax.

"Are we using my car?" Nobara asked, while munching on her lunch. You all nodded, the four of you were planning to go shopping after practice later. Megumi sighed and Yuji noticed that so he shook his shoulders. "It'll be fine, Meg. Maybe Nobara will finally be less aggressive with shopping later..." he hinted at Nobara, wiggling his eyebrows.

Nobara rolled her eyes. "I'm not that aggressive, stupid." Yuji stuck his tongue out at her childishly, and that made her kick his leg under the table. He winced. "Aw! You're such a b-"

"If you protest again, I'll make sure you sit at the back." she threatened.

Yuji shook his head. "I was just joking..." he pouts. You gave up with wanting to sit shotgun because he always wanted to win, so you always sit with Megumi at the back from now on. You all agreed to go to Nobara's house later to get her car.

Finals comes in after the ball, so you were all busy in the month of February and March. You all tried to study together before, but all of you can't focus because you'd all be laughing the next. So now you agreed to just do your homeworks together because it's easier, and so you can also gather your thoughts together. You usually do your homeworks at the library even though it's hard for Yuji to stay quiet.

You realized you will be second year college next year, making all of this seem so fast.

After lunch, you parted ways to go to your own classes. On your next class, you don't have classes with them so you were on your own as you walked through the hallway. It went on painfully slow, well, it's because you never liked Calculus. That one thing you never liked is calculating and solving problems.

You were holding on for dear life when the classes finally ended. You sighed in relief, the sleepiness vanishing, and stood up to gather your things. Some of your classmates in English class decided to walk along with you on the way to the gym. When you neared the entrance, your heartbeat sped up when you saw the familiar faces in Gojo's group of friends. You ignored them and walked inside.

Yuji was already there, talking to a guy, maybe in his class. He glanced at you and waved, so you walked towards him and put your bag down on the stage. "Where are they?" you asked and he shrugged. "I just got here, too."

Later on, students swarmed in and there, you saw Megumi and Nobara walking in. Momo and Mr. Smith then came, and the practice immediately started. You were all in your stated positions, Megumo held your hand and you apologized by how sweaty your hands were. "I drank coffee... again." you explained and he just shake his head. "It's fine. My hands get sweaty sometimes, too." you chuckled at him.

Momo then told everyone to take a break, and they were more than happy to do that. You were about to approach your friends, but Momo blocked you way and gave you a small grin. "Hey, Y/N. So the next thing we're about to do, is we switch up partners." she informed you, and you instantly knew what she was about to say.

"Can you... maybe, help me a bit? Some of them can dance, but I know you're the best here that I can trust." she confidently said, and your cheeks reddened at that. You were flattered to hear that, even though you weren't really close with her. "Oh, um..." she waited for your response, eager to know what you're about to say. You saw how determined she was so you had no choice but to agree.

She cheered quietly, "Yay! See you in a bit." she winked and walked away. The short break ended, so you all went back to your positions. When you all recalled the steps, she called you and you felt eyes on you as you walked to the front. You swallowed your shyness, standing beside her.

"Okay! Now, we're all going to proceed to the next phase, the rotation of partners." she stated, and pulled you to demonstrate the next step. They barely followed so you told the girls to follow your step, and the boys to follow Momo. You both swayed slowly to make it easier for them to understand.

You saw Megumi struggling so you went to him and guided him. You took control of the rhythm and flow, humming the music for him. He eventually understood a few repetition of steps later, so you asked again for the last time. When he nodded, saying he finally got it, you walked away and taught the girls again.

The girls twirled to go on to their next partner. Some got it, some even stumbled. You sighed to yourself, knowing it'll take long before you get to the end of the rotation. Everyone was focused on doing the steps when you heard a click of the tongue behind you. The music stopped and you glanced behind you. Your breath caught up when you saw who it was.

"Tsk, it's so hard to get this." he says dramatically, and sighed. His gaze was on you, a smirk forming his face. You pressed your lips in a thin line, not really expecting for him to talk to you indirectly. While everyone was trying to recall the steps, Momo walked towards him with her hand on her waist. "Really, Gojo?" she sassed. The height difference between them was a huge gap, seeing that she's only 4"11.

Gojo shrugged innocently, "I hope you can help me." Momo blinked at him and shook her head. She turned to you, tilting her head to Gojo's direction. "Please." she pleaded quietly. You glanced at the man who was smirking at the both of you.

I swear...

You gave Momo a tight smile, "Sure." she smiled gladly at that, proceeding to teach the others. Gojo's partner stepped aside for you, and you were hesitant to near them. He backed away to make space for you, and once again, you were towered by him, but you didn't dare to look up.

He lend out his hand for you to take, and you hesitantly grabbed it. His hand was so large compared to yours, his long, slender fingers covering up most of your hand. His calloused hand gripped yours while the other sliding on your waist. You gritted your teeth, and looked down on your feet.

"Okay, you step right, then forward," he followed your instructions, and when you backed away, he almost caught your foot so you stumbled back. He was quick to grip your waist, making you put your hand on his chest for support. You realized what you did, so you quickly removed it and cleared yout throat, feeling your heart thud.

You acted like it was nothing, seeming to be unfazed by it. "Then, you slide your foot towards left," you continued. He slid as you said so, and that was your chance to look up at him. You were wrong to do that when you saw his eyes were already on you. He surveyed your face but you looked away and he gripped your hand at that.

"Momo said to make eye contact with your partner, right?" he rasped. He was so close that you can hear his breathing. You thought everyone's eyes were on you, but you saw that they were busy practicing the choreo. This made you release a sigh, looking up to him.

You stared back at him, not even blinking once. It felt like the atmosphere changed, but you know it was only you. He didn't back down, switching to one eye and the other. "I'm not your partner." you smiled sarcastically and let go of him, leaving him breathless and amused at the same time.
