(Y/N): Your First Name

2nd Person's POV

"One, two, three... One, two, three..." Albert counted with Moneypenny clapping along to the beat.

You bit your lip as you tried to follow, copying his steps and avoiding his toes.

"And turn..." he instructed as you followed along.

Unfortunately, since you focused on not stepping on Albert's feet so much, you stepped your heel on your own toes.

"Ow!" you hissed, making you stumble and fall back.

"(Y/N)!" Albert called out as he grabbed your hand, catching you before your head could hit the table.

You sighed in relief as Albert pulled you back to your feet.

"Thanks," you nervously laughed, embarrassed by the number of times he had already done this.

"Are you two all right?" Moneypenny asked as she rushed to you both.

"Yeah, Sorry..." you apologetically smiled, "Even though I asked for your help, it seems I'm a hopeless case..." you sighed, making the two look at each other in uncertainty.

"How about we try one more time?" Albert offered, "We still have time to practice before the mission," he added as Moneypenny nodded.

You smiled at their kindness but didn't want to burden them with their busy schedules. Let alone cause trouble during the mission.

"It's fine!" you waved your hands, "Besides, Moneypenny was supposed to be James' partner, anyway," you smiled, but they seemed unconvinced.

"I better get going. I promised Louis I would help him make lunch," you excused yourself as you headed out.

As you closed the door behind you, you took a big breath as you slid down the door.

"Well, that was a waste of time..."

"What was?"

You jumped at the voice and saw James looking at you curiously.

"James! I thought you were in the gardens with Fred?" you breathed out, making him smile.

"We just finished," he answered, taking a seat next to you on the floor.

"Now, what was a waste of time?" he asked again, making you pause.

"...It doesn't concern you,"

"Hmm...?" he trailed off, a mischievous glint in his eyes as he stared at you.

"Then... you weren't taking dance lessons these few weeks, so you'd be my partner for the mission?" he questioned with a smirk, making you turn to him in horror.

"H-How...?"

"I caught you sneaking around a couple of days ago," he fondly smiled, making you sigh and rest your head on your knees.

"Well, there's no point in hiding it now... Moneypenny's still your partner for the mission," you grumbled, making James sigh as he smiled at you.

"Maybe you just need a new teacher," he playfully suggested, resting his head on your shoulders.

"And by a new teacher, I mean me," he clarified, making you raise your head in confusion.

"You?"

"Duh... I'm going to be your partner either way, right?" he grinned, pulling you both back up to your feet.

"Might as well practice dancing together,"

"B-But-"

"No buts! I've waited long enough for you to finish those lessons so we can dance together. I'm not letting you give up this easily!"
