Bad Romance

"Dance and Instrument ?" , Josh uttered the words with sheer expression of shock while Danny sat there with his usual expressionless face .

"How can you perform dance with an expressionless face Of yours and instrument...which instrument you are going to play ?....I'm sorry but I'm not sorry at all that I am judging you"

Danny stood up and said , " Well feel free to judge....it's not your fault , people actually think that always unless they have seen me dancing even when I used to perform...." , Danny stopped , he realised that he has already done a blunder over of the word "perform".

"You used to perform ?", Josh gave Danny a suspicious look.

"I used to perform means whenever I used to dance in front family and friends that's what I meant"

"Oh ! I thought you used to perform as in you know like the pop stars or professional dancers.....by the way do you like the pop star Danny Roy ?"

"Huh ?" , Danny's eye dilated .

"Danny Roy ? Haven't you heard of him ? He is damn popular man , his fan base extends overseas but he went incognito recently telling that he would complete his degree or something !"

"May be....I don't know much about him"

"As expected of you" , Josh rolled his eyes as he said , " So when you gonna show me some moves"

"You'll see me dancing when I go up the stage and perform"

" Heh ! Why ? I'm your friend Danny and you said you performed in front of your family and friends....that's so mean of you !"

"Don't heh me ! I know you gonna ruin my practice if I tag you along"

Josh pouted and made teary eyes .

"Stop those crocodile tears that won't work here"

"Okay okay I get it, work hard it's just 2 weeks to the festival"

1 am in the clock , Danny looked at himself in the rehearsal room mirror , sweat dripping from face , his whole body is drenched , "No, no the coordination of the steps are incorrect, I'll go for another round"

He played the song again and took his position. Lady Gaga with her "Bad Romance" hit the stereo and the speakers boomed to it . Danny choose this song because the past performance put up by the school was based on male ethics and preferences discarding the female existence that's what he thought when he went through the old videos provided to him by Josh . So , Danny wanted to come up with something different, something more androgynous. The Dance battle is always won by the East High girls which he actually thought was kind of partiality as he went through the old videos there were clearly times when Northern High or St. Teresa could have won , but amidst this he had to admit St. Stephens boys clearly suck at dancing - that's when Danny thought of Lady Gaga . Her songs , her portrayal of human emotions cannot be categorised as something easy to understand, she dissects and present them as if she has tossed a part of herself bleeding on to the stage .

"Rah-rah-ah-ah-ah
Roma-Roma-maa
Gaga-u-la-la
Want your bad romance...."

Danny moved his body seductively and swirled in the air , he is not Danny now he is a girl , a girl who is desperately calling for her destruction , she wants her lover to infect her with his disease , she doesn't want to recover from it , she wants him to break her by showing her the ugly side of love leaving her vulnerable and gasping for more . Danny's body is lean but masculine , his long fingers made the hand gestures more prominent . He looked at the mirror , his gaze is different from usual , his body behaved as if that of an animal in heat .

"Haah....haaah...haah...." , Danny's panting hard . The song's over but the coordination still lacked a little , 'I'll practice again tomorrow', he thought to himself . He removed his white tank top and patted his body with the towel , he was about to put on his fresh T-shirt when someone grabbed him from behind . He was surprised at the sudden intervention of privacy ,Danny looked up in the mirror and noticed it was Zeus. Zeus's eyes again lacked the menacing expression , it has now changed into mischief , like that of a kid who is about to finish all the candies in the fridge.

Danny protested , "Leave me , what are you doing ?"

"What do you think am I doing ?"

"Zeus , it's not funny , leave me I said"

"No , I won't"

"Zeus , come'n stop this nonsense and leave me , it's already late"

Zeus smirked and held Danny tighter than before . He is enjoying the desperate attempts made by Danny to free himself.Zeus buried his head on Danny's shoulder , 'He smells like tangerines', he thought while his right hand traced Danny's abs, his fingers playing like a piano .

Danny's skin is hot from all the dancing , his hot skin against Zeus's cold touch made the hair on his nape erect. His heart is beating faster with each of the movement that Zeus's fingers make . Danny stood there dazed , unable to move , he looked at their image in the mirror , he saw Zeus nibbling on to his left shoulder while his hands reached for his nipples . Zeus started to stroke Danny's nipples slowly, a strange sensation went through all his body - Zeus suddenly pinched Danny's nipples hard making Danny let out a soft moan , "Aaahh!",returning Danny to his senses .

Danny pushed Zeus away and grabbed his mouth while tears clouding his eyes , " what the heck ?"

Zeus didn't answered , he just smirked making Danny furious . Danny quickly grabbed his T-shirt and wore it and was about to leave when Zeus grabbed Danny by his hand and whispered in his ears , "I didn't know that this kitty can purr , I want to hear it more often", with this Zeus loosened his grip and let Danny go . Danny dashed across the hallway and went straight to his room.

Danny closed the door and sat on the floor as he thought , 'What was that ? What was I doing ? And I even....", Danny hung his head in embarrassment.
