{Horace X Reader}

You were currently watching Hugh and Fiona dance in the garden. You smiled at the happy couple wishing that you could dance like that with someone. You felt a tap on your shoulder. You turn to see Horace. "Why are you watching them dance?" he asked. You turned a bit pink, but still answered mumbling it. "Because I want to dance like that."

"I couldn't hear you clearly. Could you repeat your sentence darling?" he asked again. "I want to dance like that. I never learned how to dance in such a manner," you said a bit louder for him to hear you. He smiled down at you and put out his hand for you to grab it. You put your hand in his and he started to pull you to his room.

You and Horace went in his room. He closed the door with his free hand and looked at you. "If you want to dance like that so be it. I'll teach you. Take off your shoes we will do it in socks for better grip," he said. He released your hand so that you and him could take off your shoes. "Where's the record player? How are we going to dance without any music?" you said. "I'm going to hum the melody. Let's hope I don't mess it up," he said in response.

He looked at you ready to start. You went up to him and wrapped you hand around his neck. While, his wrapped around your waist. He started humming and dancing. You just stared down at his feet making sure you didn't step on them. After many stepping on feet and maybe giving Horace a bruise on his leg you finally got the hang of it.

You put your face into his shoulder and listen to him hum a melody by Beethoven. His humming ability wasn't the best, but you weren't going to judge. You guys danced and danced until your feet started hurting. You thought ' No, wonder why Fiona and Hugh dance this is fun' as you and Horace took a break from dancing. When you took the break you wiped sweat from your palms on to your pants. Then continued dancing until morning light came. Still, you two didn't break from each other.

It wasn't till you and Horace fell over in exhaustion and fell asleep in each others arm. That's when you and Horace finally stopped dancing.
