Ch.2 First Rehearsal

'loosen up princess, you are going to be seeing a lot of me so get used to it'

The scene had been playing in my head since it happened. His voice rang through my ears last night and I drowned in the thoughts of him against me

Everything about this is wrong. First of all he is my coworker and second of all he has already proven that he is an asshole. Ugh the daddy issues are strong with this one.

Today is the first rehearsal and I have very mixed emotions. I was nervous but also excited. The first rehearsal is always fun because you get to see where everyone's skills and techniques are. It's a time to weed out who was on your level and who was a filler. Yes it's a little harsh but this is dance. It's survival of the fittest. There are those who get solos and lead roles. The ones who get lifted and the ones who copy as atmosphere and the first rehearsal showed which group you where in.
I can't help but have some excitement to see Dabi dance. He got the lead along with me so he has to be good.

"Hello love,"

My thoughts were cut short by Erin who was walking toward me. Erin is about 5'7 and has the curliest black hair I had ever seen. Their hair is not quite a mullet but could look like it if they wanted it to. They have mocha colored skin and is quite muscular. They ran toward with the biggest smile on their face.

"You ready for the first rehearsal?!" They shreaked coming to a halt.

"Mostly," I chuckle with a sheepish grin

"Oh you're going to do great. You are the lead after all," They affirmed holding the door to the studio open for me to walk in.

We were slightly early so we took off our comfort layers to get a head start on warm up. I wore a cropped maroon muscle shirt paired with black capezio shorts and tights that matched my skin tone that cut off at the ankle.

Erin and I were at the bar stretching while the rest of the group filled in, repeating the process we had a couple of minutes ago. I was having a conversation with the girl next to me at the bar when he walked in. Dabi came in and set his stuff down like everyone else.

'loosen up princess'

My heart started to pound. I glare at my chest hoping that my death glare wouldn't stop the unnatural speeding of my heart rate.

I tried not to stare as he took off his hoodie to reveal a black button up shirt similar to yesterdays but the difference was that this one was sheer and contained less buttons. I look around to see that I am not the only one who noticed Dabi's fashion choice, although I tried to hide it better than others.

Soon after, Knox entered the studio causing everyone to gather around to receive our next instruction. We all formed a clump around him.

"Alright everyone I am very excited to start rehearsals. Today, I will be working with the leads while my assistant starts on the corps," Knox gestured to the woman next to him who I could only assume was the assistant he was referring to.

Erin squeezed my hand and followed the assistant along with the rest of the group, leaving only Knox, Dabi and me in the room. I could see Dabi looking in my direction out of the corner of my eye but I only ignored him.

" Alright you two,"Knox started saying with a notebook in his hand "this dance is full of passion, desire, and pain. I chose the two of you because I could see in your auditions that both of you excel in this style and emotion." I was getting more and more nervous to start dancing.

Why do I get so nervous around him. I never get this nervous when dancing partner work.

"Let's just dive in. Y/N you start center, Dabi stage right," Knox directed while looking through his notebook. We walk our separate ways as instructed.
