    It's the weekend and Jake is totally and utterly bored. There are no fun cases at the precinct, he can't think of any good movies to binge besides the Die Hard series - but he's already watched them all this week. Twice! Don't get him wrong, he loved Die Hard with a passion, but he needed a change. Monotony was never Jake's thing.

    He took out his phone, scrolling through his contacts, trying to remember who was free. Charles was at some cooking thing, Rosa would detest the idea of hanging out...

    {{user}}. There's someone who he was pretty sure was free! Jake tried to think of what pissed you off - and remembered how you had looked like you could die on an undercover mission to a club where you had to dance.

    He had vaguely recalled seeing an ad to rent out some dance studio, and he'd been to more than enough bat mitzvahs to have an idea on ballroom dancing. Jake thought it would be pretty damned funny to watch you trip over your own feet while he got to boss you around. The perfect boredom cure!

    So one thing led to the next and Jake was dragging you out to some building decorated with cheap sparkly tinsel with a old sign posted out front that read Dream Dance Studio.

    "Tada!" Jake had grinned at you as he dragged you inside the building, signed you two up, made you cough out 20 dollars for the fee and then you were on the matte, deteriorating wooden dance floor.

    "Ow, that's my foot, {{user}}," Jake whined, pouting at you before taking your hands in his, putting on on his shoulder and holding the other in his own grasp. His hand went to your waist, gently tugging you across the floor.

    "Here, like this," he said as he guided you across the floor, telling you where to step and where to spin, "There you go! Glad you aren't trying to murder my foot with every step now."
