Styles My Stepbrother (Harry Styles Fanfic)

Chapter Five: Dance

HANNA'S POV

"Harry can you help me with this banner?" I asked him. Today was the day our parents were coming home and we had spent the whole morning cleaning the house. I was currently trying to put up a "Welcome Home!" banner.

"Ya sure. What do you need?" He asked coming over to stand by the ladder.

"Can you pass me the stapler? I left it down there." I said gesturing in the general direction where it should be. He found it and passed it to me.

"Thanks." I stapled the banner to the wall securely and tried to make sure it looked even.

"Does it look even?" I asked Harry. He walked a bit back to get a good look at it before turning to me and giving me a thumbs up.

"Perfect." I said starting to head down the ladder.

"Hanna! Watch out for the--" Harry started, but it was too late. I accidently stepped on thumb tack that I had left on the ladder and lost my balance. I braced myself for the rough impact of the floor but was surprised when I felt Harry's arms catch me before I hit the ground.

"Oh God. That was close. Thank you Haz." I said breathlessly. He smiled as I used his nickname.

"No problem." He said. He gently set me down and I hissed when I was set on my feet. I lifted up one foot to realize that the thumb tack was stuck in the heel of my foot.

"Oh shit ow." I said struggling to gain balance.

"Crap, Hanna. Okay hold on there's a first aid kit in the kitchen." He said motioning towards the kitchen. I tried to hop but ended up falling back in his arms.

"Maybe it's better if I just carry you." He smirked.

"No Harry it's okay I can make it." I protested, but he didn't listen and picked me up bridal style again and carried me to the kitchen. I saw his muscles flex when he lifted me up to set me on the island while he went to retrieve the first aid kit from the cupboard.

He came back and placed the case next to me on the counter. He pulled out the disenfectant and a bandage. He pulled up a chair and sat down, then pulled his foot up on the chair so that his knee was level with the edge of the counter.

"Here, put your foot up on my knee." He said patting his knee. I carefully lifted my foot and rested it on his knee as he requested. He looked at my foot carefully before he placed his hands on it. My foot twitched randomly and Harry quickly removed his hands.

"Something wrong? Are my hands cold?"

"No! I mean, no sorry. My foot just spazzes sometimes when people touch it. It's not that I"m ticklish!" I quickly corrected when I started to see his eyes plot something devious.

"They just do that for some reason. Sorry." I apologized.

"It's no problem, but try and keep as still as possible. If you twitch when I pull it out, it could break and get stuck and then we would really have a problem." He warned me.

"Okay. No twitching. Gotchya." I said taking a deep breath. His hands returned to my feet and I held my breath as I tried to control my spazmatic foot.

"Okay, It's really stuck in there so it might hurt a little bit okay? I'll pull on three." He said checking to see if I was okay. I nodded to signal for him to continue and his focus returned to my foot.

"Okay, one-"

"AHHH!!" I screamed mostly in shock as he pulled the tack out suddenly. He quickly sprayed the tiny wound with the disinfectant. Then I did scream a little bit in pain. I was such a wuss it probably wasn't that bad, my mind was just making it out to be. He quickly put the bandage on it and turned to meet my glare.

"What?" He asked as if he hadn't done anything.

"What happened to three?!" I screeched.

"You should know I don't play by the rules by now." He said with a wink. I just glared at him and took my foot off of his knee. He stood up and put the chair back.

"Do you need help getting down?" He asked with his arms already reached out to carry me.

"No it's okay. I got this. It was a tiny little puncture wound, not a knife wound." I said jumping down from the counter and landing on my good foot. I would walk, but it was with a limp. We heard a car horn outside and turned to face each other.

"They're home!" We cried at the same time. We ran (I limped) to the foyer and Harry quickly moved the ladder and all the supplies into the hallway closet. He ran back just in time to make a funny jazz hands pose with me as our parents walked in.

"WELCOME HOME!!!" We cheered as they dragged their suitcases through the doorway.

"Harry! Hanna!" My mom cried. She ran foward to engulf us both in a huge hug. We both hugged her back and then were let go just to be captured in another hug by John.

"Hey kids! I see neither of you managed to kill each other. That's a good sign." John said as he hugged us. We both laughed and pulled out of the hug.

"So Hanna, how do you like your room?" Johna asked me.

"Oh it's absolutely wonderful. I love it. Thank you so much John for giving me a room with a balcony." I said.

"It was no trouble, really. I just hope you don't mind being so close to Harry. I know how much of pain he is sometimes." He said going over to grip his son by the shoulder. Harry smiled sheepishly knowing good and well he had been driving me crazy.

"Oh it's no problem." I said not wanting John to worry because it wasn't that big of a deal. I was a big girl and could handle myself.

"So how was the honeymoon?" I asked.

"It was a lot of fun actually! We had the ski cabin that was right next to the mountain so we could go out whenever we wanted. We got snowed in for a couple of days though." Mum told us.

"Really? What did you guys do then?" I asked without thinking. Cue the awkward silence. Harry gave me a look (A/N pic on the side) that screamed 'Hanna shut up I can't believe you asked that question.'

"Nevermind. We will leave you guys to go unpack. I have to go meet Reagan at the studio so I'll see you guys later!" I said quickly grabbing my bag and keys and running out tthe door just to find that my car wasn't there. That's right, it was in the shop.

"Do you want me to drive you?" Harry asked suddenly appearing behind me.

"Ya, that would be great. Thanks." I said. We walked over to his Range Rover and drove to the studio. I wasn't sure how much dancing I would be able to do with my tiny injury, but I had promised Reagan I would meet her. We pulled into the parking lot of the studio and I got out. Harry rolled down the window and called out to me right before I went in.

"When should I pick you up?"

"In an hour or so. We should be done by then." I told him. He nodded and waited for me to go into the building before driving away. Reagan's parents owned the studio so we could come in at any time it was empty and practice or just blow off steam. The studio was three walls of mirrors and then a regular wall. One wall which was shared with the lobby was one way glass so the people in the studio saw mirrors but the people in the lobby could see us dancing. I walked into the studio and Reagan immedietly noticed my limp.

"What happened?!" She squealed running up to me.

"I stepped on a tack this morning." I said shrugging.

"You really need to be more careful." She scolded. "Will you be able to dance today?"

"I think I'll just work on flexibility mostly today. Maybe we can run through it a couple times at the end." I suggested. She nodded in agreement and we both took off our sweatpands so that we were in our dance shorts and our cut off tees. Reagan and I were participating in a competition in a few months against another team. Reagan and I had to do a duet with each other and then each do a duet with another person as well as both of us having solos. Neither of us had found a partner for the other duet yet... we needed to get on that.

I moved to the back of the room so that Reagan had room to do floor work while I stretched. She had already stretched so she started practicing her pique turns while I started stretching my legs. After I was done with my legs I worked with my foot testing different pressures on it. I didn't think it would be that much of a problem dancing because the tack had gone into the heel of my foot and we were working with jazz so we were mostly on the balls of our feet. I finished stretching by doing wall splits and worked on trying to ease into my middle splits. I had my left and right splits mastered but I had yet to gain the flexibility to do middle.

"Do you wanna try the dance now?" Reagan suggested after forty-five minutes. I nodded and got up to take my position. She clicked the remote to start the music and we began. (A/N video on the side. The video belongs to the person that made it, I'm not claiming ownership of anything. I just thought that having an actual video would provide a better visual then me writing out the terms.)

After we finished the dance, I had to admit my foot was sore. I shook it off though and we ran through it a couple more times before calling it a day.

"Hey, I'm going to stay here for a little longer to practice my solo." Reagan told me.

"Okay. I'll see you later!" I said waving to her. I stuffed my sweats and jazz shoes in my duffle bag and opened the door to the lobby. I expected to find Harry there, but instead of him, Niall and Louis were waiting for me.

"Niall!" I exclaimed running over to give him a hug.

"Hey Hanna!" He said hugging me back.

"What are you doing here?" I asked as I released him.

"Harry told me you were dancing here and I offered to come pick you up.

"Aww that's so sweet!" I said giving him a peck on the cheek.

"And no love for Lou?!" Louis spoke up from behind Niall.

"I'm sorry, Lou. I'm very happy to see you too." I said walking over to him to give him a hug.

"Ew no, you're sweaty. I'll just pat your head." He said and then he did just that.

"You guys were really good!" Niall praised.

"Thanks babe. We've been working on it for a while so hopefully we didn't look too bad." I joked.

"So shall we go?" I suggested.

"Ya! Lou you coming?" Niall asked Louis.

"Umm, actually I think I'll catch a ride with Reagan." Louis said not taking his eyes off Reagan as she practiced her solo.

"Okay, if you want. We'll see you later!" I said. With that, we walked out to Niall's car to go get some lunch.



LOUIS POV



After Niall and Hanna left, I stayed to watch Reagan dance. I was so absorbed in her graceful movements and the way she seemed fly across the floor in fluid motions. (A/N video on the side. Same statement I said about the previous video applies here. You will have to click on the external link button to see it. Lots of authors notes today guys) I watched her run through the dance a couple times before she bent over to take a few well deserved, deep breaths. She brushed her hair back and then walked over to the side of the room to collect her bag. She had a great body and I have to admit to checking it out. I went over to sit in the chair right in front of the door to the lobby so she would see me as soon as she walked out. Soon enough she did and almost jumped out of her skin when she saw me.

"Louis! Dammit what are you doing here?" She asked obviously startled by my being here.

"I came with Niall to pick up Hanna and decided to stay and watch you dance for a while." I said making it obvious as I ran my eyes slowly over her glistening body. She instinctivly covered her exposed abdomen with her arms as much as she could.

"I was actually really impressed." I told her honestly. She had'nt expected that one I could tell.

"Really?" She asked now tucking her hair behind her ear.

"Ya! I don't lie. I tease, suggest, and use inuendos, but I don't lie." I said standing up to walk right in front of her. She fidgeted nervously at our close proximity.

"Well, I'm leaving now so you can go to." She said taking a step back from me.

"I was actually hoping I could catch a ride from you." I saw a flicker of something in her eyes but I couldn't tell what it was.

"Umm.. sure. My car is out back." she said motioning for me to follow her. We walked up to a beat up blue VW beetle. She got in the drivers seat and I got into the passenger seat and we backed out of the parking lot.

"Hey, I'm hungry. Do you wanna grab something to eat?" she asked suddenly. She wouldn't look at me and seemed nervous almost.

"Ya, I'd actually love that." I saw her release a breath and smile finally meeting my eyes. I don't know why, but something about that smile, made it impossible for me to not smile.
