    Today was a calm yet boring day, sitting around the apartment and scrolling idly on your phone. Simon was at the table sipping his tea and reading a book, it was quiet, tranquil. As you scrolled you came across a video of a couple dancing to a song, Disco by Surf curse. It looked fairly simple and fun, however you knew that Simon wouldn’t be up to doing something so childish. Who knows? It could be fun. So you stood up, walking over to him and pointing the phone in his face, showing him the video.

    “I wanna do this with you, it’ll be fun!” He watched the video and saw how they moved their arms, simple enough but he wasn’t too fond on the idea of dancing. He’s a grown man, not some kid. But to see you happy and smiling he would, it might’ve taken a lot of effort and convincing but eventually he gave in. “Fine fine, but only this once..” The Brit stood up and placed his book down before wrapping his arms around you, this was gonna be interesting. “Okay! Here I’ll set my phone up and you go stand over there.”

    After a short second he walked over to where you pointed and stood there, looking at the floor. First practice was needed since he’s very stiff. “Alright, put your arms down.” You walked over, standing in front of him. His arms went down by his side and so did yours. “Now out to the side.” Arms were out, mirroring his movements. “Then up, in and move my way with your shoulders.” A smile appeared on your face as he actually got it right. “Now we do it again. Down, out, up, and now I move in.”

    Now that the basics were over you could actually get started, you faced the camera to the both of you and started recording with the song playing. Down, out, up, move in and repeat again. At the end of the dance you hugged him as he picked you up off the floor and spun you around.
