"The Yule ball can eat my ass" Kuroo grumbles.

"But bro, if it weren't for the ball, we wouldn't be bonding like this" Bokuto replies with a large grin.

The vice teacher had called all of Gryffindor into a meeting where she revealed that a ball would be taking place.

It was something occuring between the first and second task and was undoubtedly something no students would miss out on, or else.

Kuroo had almost hightailed it out of the room after seeing their vice in an impromptu gown.

High class, silk, bands, flowing gowns, buttoned tuxes and...dancing. He wasn't opposed to it, but god damn if it hurt his pride when he could say yea he was the playboy of the school, but his dancing skills were not the best.

He wasn't the worst...still, practicing was just the tip of the iceberg that lead to his irritation.

"Bokuto if you step on my toes one more fucking time-" Kuroo growls as Bokuto leads them around the large room.

Their dancing resembles a clumsy waltz compared to the other students around the room, stepping and swaying as though they had prepared all their lives for this moment.

"Testerou, if you're unsatisfied with your dancing partner you can always pick a nice girl" the vice teacher notes, pressing her glasses higher abridge her nose.

"Don't be a homophobe miss" Hanamaki says in a sing song voice as he tangos around the room with Matsukawa.

They part the other waltzing students with swift movements and snappy motions, obviously well practiced.

"Yea it's 2020, miss. Watch as the gays come flocking from the closests" Matsukawa adds, dipping Hanamaki in front of the vice as the pink haired boy laughs.

She only gives a huff before stalking off to the side of the room to observe and correct other dancing partners.

"Bro, why didn't you choose a girl. Are we a couple?" Bokuto asks with teasingness.

They both have hands entwined and Kuroo realizes with a blink that he has his other hand on Bokutos back while Bokutos hand rests on Kuroos waist.

That means he's dancing the woman's position. Crap.

"Ohoho, don't want Akaashi catching wind of those words" Kuroo retorts with a grin. Bokutos smirk falls off his face in an instant.

"Oi, oi".

Kuroo realizes Hanamaki and Matsukawa have come to a dull waltz, dancing on the spot, just like their own unenthusiastic swaying.

"Look over there" Matsukawa smirks, pointing over to the left corner of the room.

Bokuto and him swing their heads to look in the direction he points at, and sees that Kageyama and Hinata have also paired up.

Both share heated red faces as they stand way too close, grip on each other way too tight to be comfortable.

"Should I yell WOOH get it" Bokuto asks.
