AN: Um, this story is pretty different from my other 2 in the sense that it's sort of dark whereas my others were more light-hearted and fluffy. This is more-so the style I usually write in so I'm really not sure how this'll go over...

Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters, but if I did Glitch would be older :/

Chapter 1: Confused

Glitch had a crush on Mo for the longest time. It'd started ever since his friend MacCoy had talked about him. Just hearing about all the awesome dance moves this Mo guy could supposedly do excited him, though it also made him doubtful. But once he'd actually seen the truth with his own eyes, he couldn't help but be consumed with awe and admiration- especially after seeing how he interacted with others, seemed to know everyone, and how he lived his life in general. It'd eventually developed into a crush, one that he'd denied quite a bit in the beginning, as it would've meant he were gay.

Now he would admit to himself that he had a crush, but he refused to admit he liked guys. It was only Mo after all.

"Hey Glitch!"

Glitch glanced over to see the shirtless form of Bodie waving and smiling at him. Glitch's eyes quickly scanned down the blonde's beautifully sculpted chest until they reached the waistline of his shorts. Realizing what he was doing, he snapped his gaze back up to Bodie's still grinning face. Feeling a blush begin to form, he hastily waved back and finished changing into his gym clothes, not once looking back up for Bodie's reaction.

Ah, Bodie. Glitch knew he didn't have to be questionably into guys to think that Bodie was hot, so that wasn't what worried him. What worried him was that sometimes when they hung out and Bodie said one of his infamously nice comments, he would sometimes feel those familiar butterflies that usually only came around when he was with Mo. He was sure that he didn't like Bodie the same way he liked Mo, but that knowledge did nothing to put him at ease.

It was one thing to be attracted to Mo and only Mo, but to also be attracted to Bodie… that was a bit much.

Glitch groaned. He was quickly realizing that it was no longer just girls he had to worry about- it was guys too. As much as he wanted to deny it, there was a very good chance he was bi (because he still liked girls, dammit! Mo was an exception and Bodie was just…special).

"So, what song?" Glitch asked somewhat nervously. It was after school and they were practicing. Unfortunately for Glitch, he was still in shock over discovering that he was bi and could not keep the thought off his mind, meaning his focus was lost. He could only hope it was something easy like 'Mai Ai Hee' and not something difficult like-

Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah…Yeah

Glitch inwardly groaned; this was exactly the type of song he didn't want to dance to at the moment. Regardless, he couldn't disappoint his crew and, most importantly, Mo.

The song started, and as usual, Glitch did the best he could. Luckily he was so used to the dance moves that they seemed to just flow without much thought, but a move like the 'War Bear' had him cringing as he made an obvious mistake. Following that mistake were short delays for certain moves. It wasn't something the audience would probably notice, but it was most certainly something his crew would pick up on. He closed his eyes, dreading the end of the song where he knew he was going to get reprimanded. Not like he didn't deserve it, but still…

"You're slippin Glitch," Mo mused when the song was over. Glitch looked down, his expression ridden with guilt. There was no point arguing about it; Mo was right. Dancing came first and he wasn't taking this practice session seriously enough.

"I'm- I'm off my game today. Sorry guys," he apologized to his crew, finally finding the courage to look up again. Mo nodded in acceptance and the two remaining guys in the crew gave comments of understanding.

"If you want, I'll do it again or I can try another song," Glitch insisted. He felt horrible; it was one thing to mess up himself with his thoughts, but it was another thing entirely to bring the crew into it.

"Let's just try this one again," Mo suggested, suspicion lacing his tone. He had a feeling Glitch still wasn't going to get it right, and he wasn't sure why.

Needless to say, Mo had been right. Glitch had most certainly done better than the first time, but Mo could still point out his mistakes. He knew Glitch knew it too, as his face was ridden with disappointment. As Glitch made his way over to give an explanation, Mo simply shook his head.

"Go get me some water, Glitch."

The two other members of Hi Def winced; they knew how much offense Glitch took to that comment. Mo didn't say it too often, but he said it often enough to take Glitch down a few pegs and make him feel like crap. The boy in question sighed and made his way over to Mo's bag to get a bottle of water.

Once Glitch returned with the bottle, Mo unscrewed the lid and took a swig, looking at Glitch with pity.

"Aiight Glitch, wassup wit you? I can tell something's up. You're not even messin up the same ways you usually do," Mo ended in a joking manner. Glitch was in no mood for jokes though and simply bit his lip, looking away.

"I can't really talk about it…" he mumbled softly. Mo gave an annoyed look that Glitch missed because he was looking down. He then poured some of the water on his head, getting his full attention.

"What the hell, man!" Glitch cried angrily, trying to brush the water out his hair with his hands. Mo shrugged in response.

"Tell me what's wrong. You know I'll only pour the water on your head again," Mo stated casually, giving Glitch an expectant look. The younger boy sighed, knowing that Mo was dead serious.

"Well, I uh, like someone. And I don't really like that I like them… And it's been on my mind lately…" Glitch muttered sourly. Mo's face broke out into a grin that favored the Cheshire cat and swung an arm around the young prodigy's shoulders.

"So you're all hung up over a shorty? Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Mo asked with a laugh. Glitch gave a half-hearted smile.

"I wanted to be cool with it in my head first. Didn't mean for it to affect my dancin…" Glitch said with a sigh. Mo patted Glitch's shoulder in comfort.

"Hey, I gotchu. Just make sure you get it together soon, aiight?" Mo said, this time with a normal sized grin. Glitch nodded before snatching Mo's wrist to look at the time.

"Looks like I've wasted enough time. Let's get down to business; I've still got homework to do," he explained, releasing Mo's wrist from his grip. He then looked back up to Mo's face, his expression completely apologetic.

"I'ma do it one more time and it'll look better than it's ever looked, I swear," he promised. Mo nodded and looked at him expectantly. Glitch hurriedly pushed play on the boombox before getting back into his position.

True to his word, Glitch gave it everything he had and he turned to Mo to see the older boy smiling in congratulations. Inside Glitch was in euphoria and the look on his face wasn't far from it. The fact that Mo was proud of him meant the world to him.

He did Mo's signature backflip out of happiness before walking up to Mo to grab his hand.

"Haha! Told you I'd get it together!" he said with grin. The two bumped chest with their hands still joined and then released them stylishly in a handshake they'd made up together.

"Yeah, yeah you did. Good job," Mo praised, ruffling Glitch's hair a bit. Glitch pouted but the atmosphere of happiness was still among him.

"So, what song are we doing next?" he asked eagerly, ready to continue to prove his head was in the right place, even if it wasn't. Mo took the next few seconds to think about it before nodding at whatever he'd thought up in his head.

"I'm thinkin we should do 'Technologic,'" he stated with a grin, knowing how much Glitch enjoyed the song. It'd been quite amusing when they'd been drawing names for who got what song and his name was picked for this one. Glitch had been devastated and it was hilarious.

"Aw, for real! Awesome! Let's do this!" he shouted excitedly, taking his place behind Mo to his right.

Another song down and Glitch was practically bouncing with the energy he hadn't had earlier due to his 'depressing' thoughts. Still, there was one thought he'd had while dancing that he couldn't shake.

"Hey Mo, can I talk to you for a minute?" Glitch asked hesitantly. Mo looked at him with confused eyes but still nodded in agreement. They walked over a bit to the side so that the other two wouldn't hear them.

"D'you think we could maybe…hang out this weekend? Like, just you and me? N-not like I'm askin you out on a date or nothing, if that's what it seems like! Cuz I'm not! I just think it's been awhile since we've hung out," Glitch stated awkwardly. By the end of his statement he was groaning in embarrassment and hiding his face in his hands, wondering how that had come out so wrong. Mo couldn't help but laugh.

"It has been awhile, hasn't it?" Mo agreed easily, dismissing the error in communication. Glitch looked up from his hand, some of the shame melting away to the familiarity and comfort of it being just the two of them.

"So…this weekend then?" the prodigy asked hopefully. When Mo nodded, Glitch felt his whole world light up.

"You know it."

AN: About Glitch being bi...well I don't see why he couldn't be lol. And about Bodie being in Glitch's gym class... well to make a long story short, even though all the older characters look in their early 20s to me, I figure they must be like seniors in high school since they were dancing in '5th period' in the first game. Maybe I'm thinking too much into it but it at least makes the age gap smaller when I think about it that way... But anyway, tell me what you think? Should I just quit with this one?
