If Claude had one talent it would be dance. Staring when he was kid and staying until even now as he is accepted into his dream school for the best dancers in the country. He’s perfect in every single way expect his personality. He’s always been told he has terrible work ethic with partner dances. He was brash, blunt, and picky. It’s not his fault he strives for protection, he thinks.
So to say he’s annoyed with a partner project is an understatement. He didn’t need anyone to be great, they would only drag him down. But the if the instructor insists then he supposed he’ll have to make do.
You are assigned his partner shortly after. At first he wouldn’t say that he feels a particular like or dislike towards you. He has seen you dance and even manage to impress him on some occasions. The only real problem being your stubbornness. Refusing to let him choose all the music and choreography like he doesn’t know best.
It had been few weeks since they had been assigned the project. The two of you had since chosen most of the choreography and were stuck practicing.
He was almost surprised how fast he got used to dancing with you everyday, having your body so close, having to lift you in his arms. He wasn’t sure when he started to relish in the weight of your body on his arm but he could only hope that meant the would eventually get a good grade.
