Say You Won't Let Go

Can they be fucking dancers please?! Thank you!!

--------

Mark really didn't wanna do this dance. He loved his dance class, he really did...but he also really didn't wanna do this dance. It was a great dance. But it also called for a partner and Mark did not have one. It's traditionally male and female, just cause that's who made the dance. But some how, he didn't end up with a partner. A lot of girls partnered with their friends, not caring about close they qould have to be to one another's face.

Yes, there was like...3 gay/bi/pan couples. But that was fine because well they were already dating and everyone knew. They were a relatively close class. But Mark did not have a partner and he was straight. But everyone else had their girlfriend or just really close friend, because girls and guys can be best friends and do dance together. Mark and Amy would have been partners if she wasn't partnering with Kathryn. So that was out the picture.

"So! Who doesn't have a partner?" The teacher asked. Mark raised his hand and so did a quite boy a little away from him. "Well! Look at that!"

The boy shyly got up and sat next to Mark. No one in the class really cared, they went to a school where like half of it was lgbtq+ so it really didn't bother them. But Mark's friends, aka Amy, Kathryn, Ethan, and Tyler, were having a good old time laughing.

The teacher shushed them, then told them to talk to their partners and figure things out. The boys turned to each other.

"Hello!" Mark started, trying to not be awkward.

"Top of da mornin' to ya." He responded in a thick accent.

"So ok, how are we gonna do this?" Mark asked.

"Can I at least know your name?" He asked, Mark blushed once he realizedhis mistake.

"O-Oh u-um right. I'm Mark." He studered out.

"Seán, but I prefer Jack." He gave a quick forgiving smile. Mark smiled back, feeling better.

"So Jack, what part- who are- how are we gonna do this." Mark changed his sentence a couple times.

"I can play the female and you can play the male." He shrugged, Jack didn't care witch part he played, he just wanted Mark to comfortable.

"A-are you sure? I-I don't w-want to like pressure that or a-anything." Mark asked.

"Do you wanna play the female?" Jack asked, already know that answer.

"Well no..." He responded.

"Then yea, I'm fine with the female part. But we gotta be able to be decently comfortable with each other." Jack pointed this out. To which Mark agreed.

"Alright class! Let's learn this dance. The test is in a month. I really want this to turn out. Our top two pairs are going on YouTube and are gonna be representing us at our Homecoming rally." The teacher explained, everyone becoming excited. Everyone except Mark and Jack that . But they are gonna try their best.

The two started hanging out, they actually became kinda close. This did not go unnoticed, lunch came around about 2 weeks later and Jack hasn't showed up yet.

"Looking for someone?" Wade asked. He wasn't in dance but a really good friend, same with Bob.

"Have you guys seen Jack?" Mark asked them. Everyone looked at each other with a smirk.

"No...why?" Bob asked.

"Cause I wanna know?" Mark questioned his own answer. "Ok guys, I'm not straight."
