Shake Things Up| Aphmau Dance AU

10.

     Today was another practice

     and Zane, he was hungry,

     and very grumpy.

     This morning, he woke up to find that there were mice in his house and they got into the cinnamon rolls he had bought for breakfast. He  placed down mice traps all over the house and growled as he looked for another meal to eat,

He found absolutely nothing.

     His stomach growled as he checked the time. If he didn't leave then, he would've been late for practice, so left with an empty stomach. He then left the house to extremely hot temperatures and got really bad sunburn on his cheeks, leaving them a bright rose color.

     "Zane Kun.. are you sure you're okay?" Kawaii Chan asks, noticing the stressed look on Zane's face.

     "No! I am not okay! We can't dance to this! It's just not our style! It's just... gah! Second, it's Mr. Zane! No more Zane Kun! I swear you remember nothing! Ughhh!" Zane shouts, crossing his arms tightly and looking down at the ground.

     "Um.. M..Mr. Zane?"

     "What!"

     Kawaii Chan smiles and strolls over to a corner of the room where she had placed her dance bag. She takes out a box and opens it to find an assortment of multicolored cupcakes and donuts. She takes and seat and pats the ground to a place next to her, motioning that's it's okay for him to sit there.

     Zane doesn't hesitate before zooming over to the cupcakes, immediately sitting next to Kawaii Chan and taking out a cupcake. He can smell it. It's fresh, chocolaty, a vibrant color of pink, and when he takes a bite, his face melts. He swears he's never tasted anything like it. It's so rich and fluffy, but it's not overpowering with sugar and just like that, he's already finished the first cupcake.

     He immediately takes another without thinking and puts part of it in his mouth. What he didn't know what that Kawaii Chan was watching him. Kawaii Chan couldn't help but notice Zane's freckles that he always kept hidden. They make him look so different, but somewhat more approachable. They sprinkle on his cheeks and over his nose and they kind of highlight his eyes.

     She giggles and Zane stops eating the cupcake.

    "What?" He says, his mouth full of cake.

     "Oh! I didn't mean to laugh Mr. Zane! I've just never seen you act this way. Sorry sir," Kawaii Chan says, trying to keep herself from speaking in third person.

     "What? I'm hungry! I had a bad morning!"

     Kawaii Chan giggles again and shoved the rest of Zane's cupcake in his mouth.

     "Yeah yeah yeah! Keep eating Mr. Grumpy! Hehe!"

     Zane grumbles before finishing the rest of his cupcake and surprisingly,

     He chuckles.

     It's not crazy, but he seems somewhat amused.

     "Kawaii Chan, you seem happier than you've usually been."

     "Oh.. really..?" Kawaii Chan responds, noticing her trick of putting on a smile has worked.

     "Yeah. You have actually been more willing to listen and learn. I'm honestly impressed. Tell me, when did you become happy again?"

     Kawaii Chan freezes a little and looks down at the ground.

     " I didn't..."

       She hadn't thought before speaking and her response catches her off guard. She takes in a deep breath as she feels a ball in her stomach.
