[SKY FLAHERTY]

"son of a gun," you hissed, holding your feet between both hands as tears welled up in your eyes.

sky laughed from above you, finding your fall to be absolutely hilarious. however, when he found you were in pain, he stopped laughing and leaned down to see if you were okay.

"you're so fucking clumsy," sky pried your hands away from your foot and held it in his lap. he slid off your tap shoe and began massaging the sole of your foot.

you gripped his arm as he hit the spot yo had injured and attempted to pull yourself away. sky stopped his hands and tugged you closer to him. "stop moving. it'll go faster if you just calm down."

"what the hell are you even doing?" you glared at him, digging your nails into your fists.

sky shrugged, "massaging your foot. what does it look like?"

"well, it feels like your tearing off my limb," you chuckled.

sky shook his head and took his hands away from your foot. you hadn't noticed the numbing pain slowly slip away from your foot. now you could move it and no longer felt the piercing needles. sky pulled you off the ground and turned the music back on. he called out the steps as you did them, and cheered when you almost perfected the move you were struggling with.

he paused the song and clapped, "you didn't fall!"

you laughed and hung your head. "but i didn't do it well."

"but you didn't fall!" sky grabbed you by the shoulders and shook you around. you giggled and pushed him away. "let's keep going, okay?"

you nodded. you grinned at each dance move you did well on, gaining confidence for the one you couldn't do. when you got to it, sky jumped into the dance with you. his smile gleaming back at you in the mirror caused your mind to go completely blank. the doubt slipped away and the fear of falling once more was non existent. it wasn't until sky was holding you above he ground in a tight hug did you realize you'd gotten through the dance.

a grin etched itself onto your face, and you wrapped your arms around sky in return. he spun you around, arms squeezing your chest against his. sky set you down onto the ground and pulled away, his lips smashing against yours. when the two of you realized what was happening, you snapped away from one another and bolted to opposite sides of the studio.

"oh, my god," you brushed a hand over your beat red face, pacing the back wall. sky was doing the same, only both of his hands were covering his flushed cheeks.

"i'm so, so sorry," he spoke.

you chuckles nervously, turning to face him. "i'm not asking for an apology, sky. it's okay."

he smiled as the embarrassment left his features. "it's okay?"

you nodded, "yep."

he edged his way towards you, a sly smirk in his face. when you were a few inches apart, he replied, "so you wouldn't mind if i did it again?"

"not at all."
