He still looked uncertain to go inside. He loved children... he didn't want to scare them.

Her cool fingers reached out to grasp his hand and a slithering current ran through him... the contact making him crave for more.

He watched a gentle smile grace her lips as she tugged him inside the dance room.

His eyes shifted from her to the tiny little girls spinning around in circles... all dressed exactly the way as their equally adorable teacher...

He couldn't stop the smile from spreading on his lips as he drowned in cuteness overload.

They were adorable...

Much smaller than he was expecting...

"Cocuklar..." Karaca called them fondly, grabbing her students' attention. Fifteen small heads turned to her... before their eyes landed on him inquisitively. 

He prayed that he wouldn't scare them...

He forced an approachable , yet nervous smile on his lips...

They watched him curiously, obviously wondering who he was... but none of them seemed the slightest bit scared of him...

Thank God, he thought...

"Azer abi'ye merhaba deyin..." Karaca said to them. They all obeyed and said hello to him enthusiastically. He chuckled at their unified "Merhaba Azer abi..."

"Merhaba..." he replied softly, a lot more relaxed now.   

"Let's take a break, tamam..." Karaca said to them with a brilliant smile of her face, her love and her fondness for her students apparent. "Azer abi brought you some treats..."

Each little girl jumped up and down in happiness before rushing over to him, gathering around them in a circle... their expectant eyes eyeing the bag in his hand. He chuckled at their enthusiasm.

He reluctantly let go of her hand and kneeled down, so that he was at their eye level.

"Hepiniz tatlı sever misiniz?" He asked them curiously... each little head eagerly nodded, and he let out a another laugh at their genuine excitement.

"Tamam..." he said, opening the bag and unwrapping the treats. He handed them out to each child.

"Saol, abi..." each one replied, pecking his cheek before rushing aside to unwrap it and bite into the sugary treat.

Once each student had one, he got up... watching them settle down on the floor and munch into the sweets. He couldn't take his eyes off their little face... they were adorable...

"Cok tatlılar..." he said with smiled. 

But there was one tiny little girl, sitting further away on the bleachers... apart from the rest of the girls. Her treat still unwrapped in her hands... her head bowed down as she stared at it...sadness evident on her face...

"Why is that little angel looking so sad?" He asked Karaca, without taking his eyes off the little girl.

"New student...Melek..." she replied with a sign. "She's been scared and nervous... it's her first day..."
