You loved dance. There was always something so beautiful about it. Especially freestyle hip hop. Whenever Kane wasn't around, or you had to sleep out in the shed, you would set up the old little tv and dvd player and watch anything you could scrape up the money to buy, just so you could watch and learn the moves. Of course, Kane was predictably against dancing, so you had to keep it on the down low, but it didn't matter, as long as you could practice in secret. One day, you were going to go professional. There was no doubt about it. It seemed all the more possible when the monsters came from Underground. All of them were dancers, every last one of them, and it seemed to bring out the dance spirit in every human in Ebbot. Kane wasn't impressed. It was your neighbor and friend Savannah who convinced you to sneak out to see a particularly cool monster dancer who was performing a couple blocks down. "Break Wild?" You repeated the name. Breaking, you knew, was a type of freestyle dance. "Yeah! Apparently, he's the best! Frisk says he doesn't let his viewers get too close, though, so just stick with me, ok?" You nodded in understanding.
💃💃💃
Just as you thought, Break Wild used mostly break dancing moves while he performed, though sometimes he slipped into other forms so fluidly that you almost couldn't tell. Most of the crowd were monsters, though there were humans that were starting to mingle in to watch like you and Savannah were. There was a moment in time when Break seemed to falter from a 360, his head twitching towards you, but as soon as it was there, it was gone. You assumed that maybe you were just seeing things, but then a monster leaned in. "I've never seen that before. Maybe you should go..." Savannah seemed to have heard and shook her head immediately. "No way! If he took notice, maybe she should join him!" She whispered, shouting back. "W-Wait, what?" You were pushed forward and stumbled into the circle, looking wide eyed at at Savannah while she gave you a thumbs up. Meanwhile, Break Wild had stopped all together, simply watching. Or you assumed he was. It was hard to see under his sunglasses. You gulped as others started to complain about it. You were about to flee back into the crowd when a polite cough caught your attention. Break Wild had stepped away to let you dance.
💃💃💃
It took you a second to approach and get into the beat of the song. Break Wild looked tense as time stretched, but this... this was your chance. Break Wild was giving you a shot, and for some reason... you really didn't want to disappoint him. You started with Waacking, moving your arms to the music before you started to breakdance yourself, using everything you'd learned and copied from every movie you'd watched. You tried not to look at everyone while you danced so you wouldn't lose concentration, but you were pretty sure Break was smiling. Before you knew it, he'd joined you, dancing alongside you, and at some point, you even started to dance together. Break moved so fluidly with you. He seemed to know what you were going to do just before you did and was right where you needed him to be. You laughed, absolutely thrilled and having fun! But... it never does last. "[Y/N]!" Your stomach dropped at Kane's fuming voice. You turned just in time for you to see him grab your arm in a vicelike grip.
💃💃💃
"I-I'm sorry!" You squeaked as Kane started to drag you away. "You are in so much trouble, you brat!" Kane hissed under his breath as he dragged you off. A low rumbling, animalistic noise came from behind you, but Kane paid it no heed as you argued back quietly. "I'm an adult!" The look in Kane's eyes promised punishment for your back talk as he dragged you home and to the shed. He thrust you inside, making you stumble and nearly fall on your knees, but you caught yourself in time. You yelped and jumped back as Kane shoved over the small boxset tv, shattering the screen, and grabbed a crowbar to finish it off. Then he smashed the dvd player, as well as all your dvd's. He must've found those while you were out... now they were all gone. Your dreams shattered before you as you choked on a sob. "Clean this mess up. Unless you wanna sleep on broken glass tonight." Kane slammed the shed door on you as he left, leaving you to pick up the broken pieces. It was going to be a long night with no dinner.
💃💃💃
It was late in the night when you were shaken awake by... something. It was too dark to really see, but you could feel them. You tried to scoot away, opening your mouth to warn them off, but they covered your mouth. "shhhh, [Y/N]... it's ok. it's just me..." He must've been able to see the confusion in your expression because he was quick to elaborate. "i'm the guy you were dancing with earlier. that guy had called you by your name, so... um. anyway..." Break removed his gloved hand from your mouth. "i was gonna let you stay at my place. this... doesn't really seem like a comfortable living situation." You tried to shake off the shock of Break Wild being in your shed and willing to sneak you out. "I-I don't think... I..." Break's hand trailed down your arm and took your hand. "you can, [Y/N]. this human thinks he has control over you, but he doesn't. nobody does. you are an adult." You couldn't tell if he'd actually heard that conversation or just happened to say the same thing you had, but it gave you the determination you needed to nod. "Let's get out of here -" You yelped as he pulled you into him, and before you knew it, you were in a living room rather than a shed. He let you go, seemingly looking you over before he nodded and stood from the couch. "i'm sans, by the way. it was really nice to dance with you, [Y/N]..." You looked around in shock before turning to him. "U-um, yeah... you too." So... now you had a teleporting roommate. Fun.
