Under the blinding lights of the studio, Y/n is a Dancing with the Stars pro who loves her job. Maybe a little too much. Every smile is polished. Every step is flawless. And every secret is hidden. As one of the show's longest and most professional dancers, Y/n knows the rules: have a good time, try to win, charm the audience, and never let the cameras see anything you don't want the world to know. Especially not if it could impact your job. Ariana Grande, a household name, takes time from her schedule to be part of the Dancing with the Stars family. She loves to perform, so why not go for it? Ariana is outgoing, honest to a fault with a newfound fearlessness in her feelings. She's also dangerously bad at pretending something doesn't matter when it does. And Y/n comes to matter more than she ever expected. What starts as good chemistry, electric choreography, and a good friendship turns into something deeper. Something Ariana refuses to treat like a secrete, while Y/n likes the secrecy of it all. Throughout the series season, the line between performance and reality blurs. Ariana and Y/n circle one another, straying toward other people that feel familiar to them and keep discovering that no one else seems to understand them in quite the same way as they are irresistibly and magnetically drawn back to each other
