For as long as you can remember, this is how you worked through your upset. As other got to know you and your skill set grew the more upset you were, the more complicated and fast paced your dancing became. It was as if you thought if you could dance hard enough and fast enough that all the pain and upset would just go away. It also happened to be something you enjoyed so it was easy to lose yourself the music.When you were training for your future job. Teaching meant you had to stop competing professionally but you loved you had your own personal studio in your house. Although you weren't competing you didn't have to lose that freedom and expression you loved so much. Often, with your girlfriend out of town on cases you had time to complete all your grading and spend time in your studio.
On this particular day, you had a rough day. Your class seemed on top form for breaking every classroom rule and your paperwork was taking all the energy from your already exhausted mind. The fact you couldn't come hon me and snuggle your girlfriend, SSA Prentiss made everything worse. So you immediately changed into a sports bra and some dance shorts, grabbed your ballet shoes and some water before heading to your studio. Emily hadn't texted so you assumed it would be just you and your black kitten Sergio again tonight. Sergio was yours and Emily's kitten that you both got to keep you company when Emily was away, but Sergio preferred his other mom more than you these days so it was a bit of a backfired plan.
You lost count of the hours that had passed, you wanted to ace this new routine but try as you might you couldn't seem to get all the moves correct. Your spins were off and you kept coming out of point position. The frustration was evident as you chucked some more water dripping in sweat before going again. The mirrors around the room providing a 360 degree view. If you weren't so swept up I'm your dance you would've noticed the raven heard agent watching you from the door way. Her eyes approvingly ran over your toned body. She missed you so much while she was a way and knowing you were this stressed sparked many other ideas you both could do together to destress.
"Hi angel" she murmured as your music faded out and your chest heaved trying to find a slower rhythm. "Em!" You squealed running in your point shoes to your girlfriend and jumping in her arms, "you're home! I missed you so much baby." Emily couldn't help but chuckle at you, truly you were adorable and she couldn't help but fall more and more in love with you with every passing day. "I am sweet girl, what's happened Angel?" She murmured with a sweet kiss to your lips.
There in her arms you explained your stressful day before she carried you upstairs and to your bedroom, where she took of your shoes and rubbed at your feet knowing how the shoes could hurt your feet if you'd been in them too long. Then you both changed into nightwear before snuggling up to one another. Emily explained the case and that everyone was okay and in one piece this time. During her explanation Serigo came to see his mom and was purring loudly, nuzzling his head onto Emily's face as she laughed, "Serge I'm trying to cuddle mom!" But here and now this was your family and no matter what time of day you were having you knew they would always be your shoulders to rely on.
