Dancing Lessons
"Dammit, Grimmwalker! It's like you have two left feet!" Qrow yelled out in anger as he tripped against Connor's foot again.
"Sorry," Connor muttered, struggling to contain his laughter.
"Just...let's start over." Qtow resigned. He grabbed Connor's left arm and pulled him closer. He placed it on his shoulder, and Connor instantly recoiled.
"Dude, we agreed you'd play the girl!" Connor yelped as he pulled his arm away.
"Well excuse me, mister Qrowpleaseteachmetodance, but I'm usually dancing with girls myself."
Qrow took a step back, followed by a deep breath. He reached for Connor once again and placed his hands on his shoulder. When Connor placed his on Qrow's hips, Qrow almost pulled himself back as if struck by lightning.
"How the hell did you talk me into this again?" Qrow questioned him. Connor jerked his shoulders upwards.
"Whatever. Let's just get this over with."
A few minutes came and went. Connor was still bad at the whole dancing thing, but he was starting to catch on.
"What will you do if there'll be tango or something at the ball?" Qrow suddenly asked him.
"Ruby isn't the dancer kind either. We'll skip it."
Qrow's left brow hiked up.
"Not the dancer kind? Boy, she'll keep you under her heel."
"What now?!" Connor asked, his heart skipping a beat.
"She might be a bit...antisocial. But she's an excellent dancer." Seeing Connor delve into panic mode brought a sly grin onto Qrow's lips.
"Do you know tango?" He asked after a few moments, grabbing Qrow's shoulders, with a desperate look in his eyes.
Qrow opened his mouth to reply. SNAP, a camera behind them went. They both fell silent. Qrow looked over his shoulder at the door, as Connor slowly turned his head around to do the same. All they managed to catch was a trail of gold and rose petals.
"After them!" Qrow yelled, pushing Connor aside and dashing for the door.
"Way ahead of you," Connor retorted, catching himself against the floor with his right hand before bolting for the door himself.
A/N: I wrote this some time ago, during a fever so bad it gave me hallucinations, thoroughly convinced there was a ball somewhere in the story. Spoiler alert, there's no ball in the story. But I liked how this scene came out, so I decided to keep it.
