A/N: This is the first of a small collection of Hollstein one-shots that were written as a birthday gift.

Some of them might be shorter than others.

I watched a How-To-Waltz video on repeat to get the instructions that Carmilla tells Laura.

Carmilla had heard singing in the apartment and she saw Laura standing in front of the tv in their living room. She was watching The Beatles singing one of their famous songs, "I Wanna Hold Your Hand".

Laura was swinging her hips and holding her hairbrush like a microphone. Carmilla always knew that her girlfriend was a dork, but not this big of a dork.

"And when I touch you, I feel happy inside. It's such a feeling that my love, I can't hide. I can't hide. I can't hide. I can't hideeeee."

Carmilla was leaning against the door frame and enjoying herself as she watched Laura dance as she continued to sing.

"I know you like holding my hand and all, but not this much."

"Ahh!"

Laura had turned around, saw Carmilla, and dropped her "microphone".

Carmilla moved faster than Laura, picked up her hairbrush, and handed it to her.

The dirty blonde haired girl shyly took it from Carmilla. As she did so, Laura put a strand of her hair behind her ear.

"So this is what you get up to when I'm sleeping."

Laura was turning red, "I like putting on my concerts and singing along to them. I wish I was around when they were."

"I was stuck in a coffin of blood, so I missed them too."

Laura hugged Carmilla close, "We can enjoy them together now."

Carmilla smiled and held onto Laura's hand as she twirled her.

"You can hold my hand any time, Creampuff."

"Do you uh want to sing this with me?"

Carmilla would've downright refused if anyone else had asked.

"Sure, but I get to choose the song."

Carmilla picked up Laura's phone, typed in a Beatles' song in the Youtube search bar, and it popped up on the tv.

"I haven't heard this one before."

"Oh? I'm pretty surprised. I thought you were a huge Beatles' fan."

"I am, but I just haven't heard the song, "And I love her" by them."

Carmilla took the hairbrush from Laura and set it on the table.

She wrapped one arm around Laura's waist and held her hand in her other. Carmilla had pulled her as close to her as possible.

Carmilla was singing softly in Laura's ear.

"She gives me everything and tenderly. The kiss my lover brings, she brings to me. And I love her. A love like ours could never die as long as I have you near me. Bright are the stars that shine, dark is the sky. I know this love of mine will never die."

"I never knew you could sing."

Carmilla shrugged, "You never asked."

"What do you like to sing besides The Beatles?"

"Florence and The Machine."

"Wait, so when I hear you playing music in your room, that's you singing?"

"Yes, believe it or not, Buttercup, that's me."

"I always thought it was a live version of the song you were listening to."

"Nope."

The song had ended a long time ago, but the two of them still danced anyways.

Laura laid her head on Carmilla's shoulder.

"We never tried waltzing before."

"We have certainly waltzed, Creampuff."

"I didn't mean that type of waltzing!"

"For me to teach you, you have to stand next to me. Don't break a leg."

"Carm, I'm not that big of a klutz!"

"Says the girl who falls on her face almost every time she rolls out of bed and the same girl that trips over literally nothing."

"I was distracted!"

"By?"

"You and your damn leather pants."

Carmilla smirked.

"I don't want you to get distracted."

Carmilla started to unbutton her pants.

"Woah there, Nelly! C-Can you do that somewhere private?"

"It's not like you haven't seen me naked plenty of times."

"I know, but you waltzing around, no pun intended, literally in your underwear. It is going to bring me to an early grave."

"So leather pants on or do you want me in my underwear?"

"Er...leather pants?"

"You got it, Sweetheart." Carmilla winked.

..

Carmilla and Laura had pushed their coffee table to the side to make room for them to waltz.

"You start with something called the "Waltz Box Step". You go forward with your left foot, side with your right, and close left foot to right foot."

Laura listened to Carmilla's instruction and mimicked her movements.

"We go back with the right foot, side with the left, and then close right foot to left foot."

Carmilla watched Laura as she learned what she had just been taught.

"It's time to put what you learned into practice. Whoever leads faces forward while their partner faces them. The person leading starts by moving to the left like I showed you."

Laura nodded as Carmilla lead the way.

"You can also reverse it so that you're the one that is leading. The one that leads always starts moving to the left first. Their partner starts with the right first and just reverses what the other did."

"This isn't so bad, Carm."

"Did you have doubts that I would lead you wrong?"

"You can stop being so punny now."

Carmilla rolled her eyes.

"I wasn't sure if I had to baby-proof the living room while I taught you."

"Oh haha."

Carmilla chuckled.

Laura didn't know Carmilla had stopped and she bumped into her.

"Sorry about that."

"It's okay."

Laura looked up at Carmilla, "You're really beautiful."

"Not as beautiful as you."

Laura got on her tippy toes to kiss Carmilla and the vampire pulled her girlfriend closer.

After the kiss, Laura said, "Maybe next time I can show you how to dance."

"As long as it's not the Macarena."

"I know other dances besides that!"

"Sure you do, Sweetheart."
