Prompt: what is Christmas without the Nutcracker

TW: Blisters and blood 

AN: how are my little alchemists doing, i've had 2 red bulls and have so much energy which is a full 360 since I was a cranky, tired Big Houdini after a ten hour shift and I shouldn't be allowed red bulls but hey ho

Marjorie was in the office and was going through paper work listening to Christmas music quietly since she was on her own due to Autumn being in the baby room to cover a lunch break and turned around when she heard a knock on the door and saw you stood there in the doorway "you okay Y/N" she asked you and she saw you nod slowly at her before walking into the office before seeing you shut the door behind you "are you sure" she asked you again and moved to take a seat in her chair whilst you sat in the chair opposite her desk in the chair available "yeah, sorry Marjorie for being quiet it's just I don't really talk about what I need to talk to you about" she heard you explain softly and she moved her chair to be closer to you and could tell you were nervous about something "what is it my love" she asked you gently and was worried it was something serious "I know annual leave needs to be put in advance so I was wondering if anyone had the 20th December off" she heard you ask and she shook her head since most staff had used all there annual leave apart from you and some other staff "no, if I recall the 20th is free, can I ask why" she told you and asked at the same time and saw you look up at her with a soft smile on your face "I have my Christmas dance recital that day and need to be at the venue all day" she heard you ask and she was shocked at what you asked "you dance or teach it" she asked curiously and saw you smile at her "both, but this is me dancing at the recital" she heard you explain and she slowly nodded at you and grabbed the annual leave form before handing it to you "here you go, how long have you been dancing for" she asked as she watched you fill out the form after taking it from her "I have been dancing since I was 2 so 17 years" she heard you say and she was stunned since you had been working at the nursery since you were a 16 year old apprentice and she didn't even know that you danced and she was certain that none of the other staff knew either. She took the form back from you when she saw you hand it back to before seeing you stand up "thank you Marjorie" she heard you say to her but she stopped you from leaving when she remembered what you said when you came into the office "Y/N, why do you not talk about it" she asked you before you left the room and saw you turn to face her "I have my reasons" she heard you say and she was curious about why you keep it a secret before hearing "ask Autumn if you really want to know, I don't mind you knowing I just don't like telling people" come from you quietly and she nodded her head slowly at you and saw you leave the office, after you left the office Marjorie looked at the annual leave form and saw you had filled it out properly before putting it to one side and a few minutes later she saw Autumn walk back into the office and she decided to ask Autumn like you told her to do "Autumn" she asked the woman who was now sat back at her desk "yes Marjorie" she heard Autumn reply and saw her turn to face her "Y/N has just been in and requested annual leave for the 20th December for her dance recital and told me to ask you why she keeps it a secret, so do you know she said she doesn't mind me knowing" she asked the woman and saw Autumn stiffen before relaxing slightly and saw Autumn nod at her slowly.

Marjorie watched Autumn for a minute before hearing "search 'Y/N Y/L/N' in Google" come from Autumn and she loaded up the internet on her computer and searched your name into the search bar and was shocked to see a picture of you pop up with articles and she clicked on the first one and was shocked to see you were a famous ballet dancer and was part of the London school of ballet and even had an article about how you were the youngest member of the school to join in history "wow, no wonder she doesn't talk about it, I'm guessing her working here gives her a normal life sometimes, how did you find out about it Autumn" she asked Autumn and saw Autumn smile at her which shocked her "I went on a date with Winter to see the Nutcracker last year and we were both shocked to see Y/N as the lead dancer and afterwards we waited for her to come out after it had finished and found out then" she heard Autumn explain and she was shocked at how low key you kept it but understood why you did "she is an amazing dancer and you should see her when she dances it make you feel something deep within you" she heard Autumn say a few seconds later and she nodded at Autumn and she turned back to her computer and searched the ballet school and saw the website for the Christmas dance recital and saw it was a free event and got an idea "I found the website for her dance recital, the tickets are free and you just need to request a number of tickets, do you think she would be mad if I got tickets for me, you, Winter, Reece, Charlotte and Sorscha to go and watch her" she asked Autumn and saw her turn to face her properly "I don't know, I could slyly ask her tomorrow on her break and see what she says" she heard Autumn ask and she nodded at her before leaving the website open but minimising the screen so no one could see what she was looking at on the screen. Marjorie was walking down the corridor a few hours later to head to the breakroom to grab her lunch from the fridge and walked into the room to see you sat in there and noticed you were fiddling with a weird looking shoe "hi Y/N, you on your lunch or last break" she asked you and saw you look up at her "hi Marjorie and my lunch I'm on the closing shift today" she heard you say to her and she nodded whilst going over to the fridge to grab her lunch and made her way to the table where you were sat "what you doing?" she asked you curiously and heard you chuckle at her question "I'm sewing my shoes for my class tonight" she heard you say and saw you bend down before seeing you stand up and she watched you move around the room slightly "ohh right, how many classes do you" she asked since she was curious about your little hidden past "everyday weekends included, I either do a 7-10pm class when I'm on the closing shift and then if I'm on the middle or early shift I do a class from 6-midnight class and then on weekends I'm there all day" she heard you explain and she just stared at you in shock at what she had just heard "so you basically come here then dance before sleeping and repeat it all again the next day" she asked you and saw you nod at her before seeing you remove the shoe of your foot "pretty much" she heard you say and watched as you put your shoes in your bag before sitting back at the table with her.
