A/N thanks for all of your lovely support!!
Myles' POV
I was going to do it.

I was going to kiss her.
...But I didn't.
Instead I extend a hand and pull her off the bed.

I don't know why I wanted to kiss her; I don't like her like that...She's my best friend. It just felt like it was the right thing to do- but I'm not one to act on my instincts.

"See. I am a gentleman."
"Mmhmm." She lets out an adorable giggle which instantaneously causes a smile to crack on my face .
There's another uncomfortable silence between the two of us which Briar breaks with her delicate voice.
"So..so how long until dance?"

"We have to be there in an hour.
Oh yeah:  I thought we could go to that new icecream parlour afterwards if you're free? My treat!" I click my tongue, imitating the wink I also co-ordinated.

Briar's POV
Dance was really enjoyable today; the feeling of being able to express without words is honestly the best feeling in the world- being able to leap higher or turn faster. Improvement is one of the most satisfying notions ever- I tend to spend time every few months reflecting on tricks, turns and technical aspects I have gained confidence as well as ability in. Dance is just a way of life.

"Ready to go Lil B?" Myles rests his arms upon my shoulders before carrying my bag to his car.
"Briar? Where are you going?" Abbey, my little sister, speaks up.
"I'm just going to hang out with Myles- tell mum not to worry!" I reply before kissing her cheek and clambering into my best friend's car.

"How did you enjoy dance today?" Myles attempts to start a conversation, clearly nervous (it was quite cute).
We continue making small talk until we arrive at the parlour- he extends his hand to me just as before to help me out of my seat.
Gentleman.
