Eren and Jean were at it again, like always. The constant bickering of the two young men was distracting to every one. With their show due in only a few weeks there would be no way any one would be able to get their parts down when a fight would break out every day!

"Why don't you go eat some hay you ugly horse!?"

"Why don't you go eat some shit you ass hole!?"

Both boys rolled up their sleeves and started making their ways towards one another, students parted in a circle around them with sighs and irritated expressions.

"I'm gonna kick your ass for real this time!" Jean growled and lunged forward, to which Eren growled and ducked under him. Jean hit the ground as his target tripped him and then suddenly,

"What is the meaning of this?!" Mrs Tomas flung open the double doors and hastily made her way over to the two boys on the ground. The other students quickly scattered and went back to their rehearsals.

"He started it!" Both Jean and Eren said at the same time as they exchanged evil glances. Mrs Tomas sighed in frustration and pinched the bridge of her nose.

"Both of you, come with me." Jean and Eren reluctantly stood up and followed their instructor out of the room. On the way they'd give one another little rude gestures.

Once they were outside is when Mrs Tomas finally spoke, "It's been very hard trying to help out my students when both of you continuously argue and fight. Every week I have to come out here and talk to you, and you always tell me it won't happen again! I've tried moving you, giving you roles where you don't even see each other, there's not much left I can do if you two won't even try to get along!"

Jean and Eren hung their heads, to which their instructor crossed her arms with another sigh.

"I hate to do this to you two but you are going to be dance partners until you learn how to get along, and if you can't get along then I'll have to cut you from the team."

Both of the young men looked to their teacher with wide eyes, but before either of them could protest she held up her hands to silence them. "This means that you'll both have the lead role as well. I expect you'll be after hours to practice your new routines?"

There was a moment of silence before Jean and Eren hung their heads again. "Yes, ma'am."

"Good," she checked her watch and rolled her eyes, "there's only a few minutes of class left anyway... your drill chart will be on my desk. You may use the studio until ten, so you have five hours to get a good start."

The other students came out and left for home while Eren and Jean looked over their new routines in disgust.

"I have to dance with you this close? I hope you don't smell like a horse too." Eren commented as he send a glance to Jean, who growled under his breath.

"At least I'm not an ass, I'm praying you don't smell like one of those either. Just shut up and tell me when you think you're ready to do this, I don't want to be sitting here all night."

"Yeah, yeah. I'm playing the second role, right?"

"The female role? I guess, why?"

"It just makes sense because I'm shorter than you... and don't call it the female role."

"Fine, the second role, whatever."

Eren raised a brow and asked, "So you can catch me, then?"

"Catch you?" Jean was confused by the question.

Eren sighed with a groan of annoyance as he pointed out the move on Jean's drill chart.

"You, the first role, will have to catch me at midway. It's a run-jump and I swear to God if you let me fall I will kick your ass."
