you and lynn were hanging out on her side of hers and lucy’s room. lucy wasn’t home so it was just you and lynn at the moment. she was resting her back against the headboard of her bed and you were laying at the foot of her bed. you two were supposed to be studying but kept getting distracted.. more than once. “lynn.. have you ever wondered how to slow dance?” you asked her randomly. “slow dance..?” she asked, sounding thoroughly confused. “yeah, slow dance.” you shrugged. “um, not really.. why?” she raised a brow. “because we have that school dance coming up and i just think it could be fun to at least know how to slow dance..” you said, lowering your voice due to feeling a bit embarrassed. “and you’re sure i’m the right person to ask?” she sounded like she wanted to laugh but kept herself together. “i mean, who else am i gonna ask? lincoln?” you joked. at the mere mention of that, lynn seemed to tense up, clenching her jaw for a moment before unclenching it and taking a quiet deep breath. “we could practice slow dancing together if you want..” she muttered. “sure,” you tried to play it cool, swinging your legs off the bed and standing up. lynn made her own way to stand up, reaching out and taking your hand in hers. she sighed, pulling you closer. you put your arms around her neck as she put hers around your waist. “just uh..” she started awkwardly moving as one would when slow dancing, you following her lead. you soon found yourselves in a steady rhythm, looking into each other’s eyes. you both seemed to have gotten lost in each other as you noticed lynn leaning closer, almost feeling like you two may kiss. she suddenly snapped back into reality, pulling away from you. she cleared her throat. “you, uh, you get the gist of it.” she walked past you to sit back down on her bed, pulling her notebook back onto her lap. “yeah, i.. i do.” you said quietly, awkwardly settling down where you were resting before, also going back to studying. lynn would look at you, then look away when she noticed you looking back at her.
