All About Us (LT One shot books)

Feel it in me

Emeric snorted in annoyance. Well, of course, how could any major event take place without the participation of the Bourgeois twins? Emeric watched with a frown as the Bourgeois walked through almost the entire dance studio, positioning themselves a couple of meters away from them. Larry, laughing quietly, corresponded with someone on the phone, did not sit down on a chair, he sat down on a low window sill, leaning his feet on the edge of Laurent's chair. Emeric noticed that Laurent did not experience the same positive emotions as Larry. He is unhappy with being here for some reason, and Larry's frivolous mood only infuriates Laurent even more.

Emeric thought, the fusion concept was quite a big dance battle, the participants were gathered from all over the world. The organizers decided to bring the participants together today, a few months before the festival, to talk more about the concept of this year's battle. Several participants will attend via video conference. Emeric went over the possible reasons for Laurent's displeasure, but he could not cling to even one of those that popped up in his head. Still, why is Laurent so dissatisfied? Participation in such a major underground dance event will bring fame, or even more fame, especially if you get to the final.

- Larry! - Laurent spoke his brother's name loudly, causing everyone present to turn their heads towards them. Larry stopped smiling, put his phone in his pocket, and only then looked at Laurent.

- You and I already discussed this a few days ago, Lo. - Emeric raised his eyebrows. That is, Larry knew perfectly well what his twin was unhappy with and simply ignored it. - And you agreed! - Larry stood in front of his brother, barely touching his knees with his legs. Emeric continued to observe the dynamics of the two.

- It didn't look like a fucking discussion! You just said you want to do it. But...- Laurent leaned back disappointed in the low back of his chair, clearly trying to get out of the twin's space.

- Baby. - Larry leaned towards Laurent, straightening his slipped hat - We have to do it. You understand this. And stop pretending that you're mad at me for this decision. - Larry quickly touched his brother's forehead with his lips, also pulling away. Emeric almost thought Larry was embarrassed, but as he looked closer, he saw the twins' fingers intertwined.

It's all about Canon. Laurent leaned back further in his chair, crossing his arms over his chest, but it didn't seem to work for Larry, he just sat in the empty chair next to the twin and hugged him.

- Lo, baby, Canon did the right thing, calling me. He knew that you would immediately refuse, without thinking for a second. We'll make them this year, we won't give them a chance. Did you hear what they came up with? For every moment of communication during a round, a team steals a few seconds from their opponent's round time. We are the best at this. No one can win where we won a few years ago. - Laurent turned his head to meet Larry's gaze. Emeric didn't see Larry's face, but he saw Laurent's expression change from angry to ominous. They gave each other their handshake and, like the other dancers, began to wait for the organizers of the battle.

Emeric couldn't shake the ominous feeling inside him. Yes, he and Loïc are also twins, they also always dance in sync. They also spend a lot of time dancing, copying, and synchronizing each other's movements. But he always felt like he was missing something. Something very important.

A month later.

Emeric sat on the floor in the dance studio watching his twin dance, but his eyes kept drifting to the other corner of the studio. Where Larry was with Rubix and Cutie. They stood very close to each other and laughed at something, throwing words between each other, after which their laughter became even louder. I wonder where Laurent is? It seems that someone accidentally mentioned that Laurent is somewhere in Europe with friends. Why did paradise end so quickly? Emeric smiled smugly, enjoying the feeling of superiority, only to see Laurent walking through the studio in a second. Larry stood with his back to the entrance, so he couldn't see his twin, and because of the music playing from all sides, he couldn't even hear the sound of footsteps. Rubix, judging by the sly smile, perfectly saw Laurent and how he put his finger to his lips. Laurent approached Larry cautiously and closed his eyes. A completely meaningless action, since Larry knew for sure that Laurent was standing behind him and that he was up to something. But Larry still turned in the arms of the twin, hanging on his neck. They haven't seen each other for a couple of weeks. Now, after a recent and rather painful quarrel, their separation was felt much more acutely than a couple of years ago. Now, Larry was still worried that one day Laurent might not return to him. Larry didn't even look at his friends, but simply dragged the twin to the farthest corner to cuddle, to enjoy the closeness of the twin, the beating of his heart, the warmth and security that only Laurent could give.
