~Hey, it's the author speaking :) Well the chapter is up before the end of the week as promised. This is the first time I'm writing dance movements so bare with me. If it's horrible, I'll change it, or, you know, never do it again haha. So enjoy the tension between Will and Nico and then the flirting that commences at the end. Author, out! (P.S. if you're in America, HAPPY FOURTH :P)
Nico stared at Will with a smile. He actually wanted to see exactly how good of a dancer Will was. Whatever Chiron was about to play, no one would be able to predict. Usually it was fast and upbeat music, usually in the form or rap or hip hop because those were the easiest songs to freestyle with.
Nico shook out his hands and unbuttoned his flannel, exposing his chest. Will grinned at him and openly looked at him. He ran his hair through his hair and then stretched upwards, exposing his lean torso. He was wearing a grey hoodie like crop top. It had a hood and long baggy sleeves but the end of it was cut off right before it got to his waistband. And when he stretched like that, everything was exposed. Nico forced his eyes away.
He heard Will chuckle as Chiron raised his voice.
"Alright dancers, show me what you got." A heavy silence filled the room and for a moment, everything was still. But then the music began to play.
Bang bang there goes your heart (I know ya want it)
Back, back seat of my car (I'll let ya have it)
He saw everyone around him start moving almost immediately. Nico started nodding his head, looking at Will. He experimentally moved his hips as Will shook out his arms and started moving his feet along the ground.
Wait a minute lemme take you there (ah)
Wait a minute till ya (ah)
Will started walking towards Nico, kicking his legs up behind him while also bobbing his head to the beat. A smirk was on his face and he winked as Nicki Minaj's voice filled the room.
It's Myx Moscato
It's friends in the bottle
It's Nicki full throttle
It's all, all
Will threw up his arms and crossed them above his head, snapping his head to the right. Then he stepped out and brought his arms down in a pumping motion as he slid to the right, his hips thrusting to the beat.
Swimming in the grotto
We winning in the lotto
We dipping in the pot of blue pho-to
He slid back to where he had been before and pushed his arms out and pulled them in slowly, making a twisting motion while he puffed out his chest, simultaneously dragging his left leg in a semicircle to the side of him, his feet eventually landing back together. He then turned around, his hands finding his head, as he shook it from left to right while also dipping his body down and back up in one quick motion.
Kidding so good
This drippin' on wood
Get a ride in the engine that could go
He turned back around just as quickly and went up on his right foot while bringing up his left leg in the process. His arms went up with him and then he was back down, his body in squatting position as his arms moved to the side of him. He pushed his right arm towards his pelvic area and then his left arm while his feet made walking motions. He stopped moving and posed with one hand on his hip and the other on the side of his head with his hip popped out.
Batman Robin it bang, bang, cocking it
Queen Nicki dominate, prominate
He moved his arms down to his hips and rotated his lower body around in a quick semicircle, with his mouth hanging open as he winked at Nico who stood watching his movements. They were insanely quick and on beat and all Nico could do was watch in awe.
It's me, Jessie, and Ari
If they test me they sorry
Riders umph like Harley
Then pull off in this Ferrari
He pushed his left leg in front of his right and turned to the right with his hands on his hips, his body pulsing to the beat, as he turned fully around again. He popped his left shoulder back and looked at Nico and then was back to facing away from him. He straightened his arms out and pushed them diagonally to each side of him, his head cocking in the opposite direction. He jumped back around and pushed his feet out with a swing of his arms and then did it again, his body traveling in a circle as his arms pushed back into his chest and then out again.
If he hangin' we bangin'
Phone rangin', he slangin'
It ain't karaoke night but get the mic 'cause I'm singing (uh)
He then twisted all the way around and pushed his feet together, bending his legs at the knees. He put his right hand on his hip as his left hand swung back and forth as he crouched forward at his hips. He opened and closed his knees along with the beat, slowly moving his feet in the opposite direction. Then he turned to the side and raised on arm up as he pulled his shoulders back and forth.
Then the song stopped and Will stopped moving, his chest rising and falling with every breath. Nico smirked as he cracked his knuckles and the next song filled his ears.
Me and my boo in my boo coup ridin'
All up in that black with his chick right beside him
Ladies, if you love your man show him you the fliest
Grind up on it, girl, show him how you ride it
Nico placed his hand on his hip and shifted to his side, pulsing his hips backwards with the beat as his free hand swinging back and forth. He leaned towards the direction he was already leaning in and raised his right foot and kicked it in front of him, his head turning to face Will with a grin. He walked backwards in between the beat, his arms above his head bent at the elbows, his hands in fists, as the snapped back and forth with the words. He turned fully towards Will and brought down his left hand across his face and to his side as he pushed to the right. He brought both arms back towards his chest and placed them on top of each other, and pushed them up then down and then back up again as he moved his head back and forth.
He jumped up on his tip toes as his arms flew above his head and spun around, rolling his head around and then brought his hands down into a v shape under his chin. He then snapped his head towards Will and stepped back with his left foot while popping his hips in time with the beat. He brought down his hands as he made his body move like a snake as he backed up slowly. Then he popped his tailbone back and forth to the beat as he dropped to the ground and came back up.
Me and my boo and my boo lip lockin'
All up in the back cause the chicks keep flockin'
All that gossip in 10 years stop it!
London speed it up, Houston rock it!
He bent over at his hips and placed his arms over each other again as he forced them up and down with the beat, a little bit of his hair starting to fall into his face. He turned around and moved his hands along with his hips and pushed his right arm away from him and snapped it back, his head snapping to the left. Then he dropped his hand and let it rest on his head as his left hand went behind his back. He swayed back and forth as he backpedaled closer and closer to Will. He pushed his arms out and they made the shape of and s on its side, and he did the move again, this time alternating which arm was on his head and which arm was behind his back.
He turned around and jumped and then turned the other way and jumped, bringing his arms in front of him and moving them up and down. He pushed his left foot out and twisted his hips along with his arms and and grinned at Will who was just staring wide eyed. He then pushed out his arms interchangeably and backed up, swinging his head from one side to the other and then slid to the left and put his right hand on his hip while his left arm went into the air. He snapped his head to the words and then spun around.
Oh, killing me softly and I'm still falling
Still the one I need, I will always be with you
Oh, you got me all gone, don't ever let me go
Say it real loud if you fly
If you leave me you're out of your mind
He moonwalked sideways back to where he started, his arms moving with him, and turned to face Will. He pushed his arms on top of each other again and moved them in a circle in front of him, allowing his hips to move with them. He then slid to the right and brought up his left knee along with his arms and leaned to the right until he moved back down to the left with a swing of his arms. He stood up and hooked his thumb into his waistband as he crossed his feet in front of him, sliding back to the right. He snapped to the left and pushed his hands into his chest, and took two steps in that direction.
He pushed his hands out above him and moved them in a circular motion and then brought them back down as he bent forward at the hips. He reached his hands up again and pulled them back down and then back up, allowing his body to move with them as if something were pulling him. He swung his head down and back up, running his hands down his bare chest as he backed away from Will. Then he jumped back up, grabbed his crotch and did the Charlie Brown with one hand holding onto his hair. Then he slid towards Will, moving his hips widely from side to side.
My baby is a 10
We dressing to the 9
Nico pushed his right shoulder forward and then his left shoulder forward while walking backwards along to the beat.
He pick me up, we 8
He pushed both of his hands to the floor and bent his body at the hips and then snapped back up.
Make me feel so lucky 7
He pushed his hands into the air, alternating between them and then grabbed his knees and popped his hips back and forth.
He kiss me in his 6
He popped his torso back and forth as he brought his hands spread eagled across his chest.
We be making love in 5
Nico put his hands on his knees and bent them, popping his pelvis back and forth to the beat.
Still the one I do this 4
He brought his hands and body up and bent his right arm at the elbow and pushed it towards his chest. He did the same thing with his left and then stepped forward with each time.
I'm trying to make us 3
From that 2
He still the 1
He then put his arms by his side and swiveled his hips to the left and then to the right and bent all the way down at his hips at the last word of the song. He looked back up at Will who had his eyes narrowed at him. Nico grinned and winked as he caught his breath. Will looked at him through the side of his eye as he sucked his teeth, making his cheeks cave in. He ran his hand through his hair and he nodded his before starting to dance to the next song.
I know I exaggerated things, now I got it like that
Tuck my napkin in my shirt, cause I'm just mobbin' like that
You know good and well that you don't want a problem like that
You gone make someone around me catch a body like that
Will turned to the left and pushed down with both of his hands. He slid to the right, pushing his hands to the left and brought them to his chest in an x position as he leaned his head to the right. He brought his left arm back out and put his right arm down, stepping forward to the beat and crossing his arms below his waist. Then he stood back up straight and pushed his arms out in front of him, slowly flexing his hands before bringing them back to his body and pushing out his chest to the beat and bringing his hands to his hips.
He pushed his right arm to the left and brought it back to his mouth and turned to Nico. He leaned to the left with his left arm still outstretched and brought it back to his mouth to join the right one and went up on his tip toes. He bent down and brought his hands from his knees back up to his chest and and pulsed to the beat and slid to the right. He let his hands go down his torso as he stepped to the right and turned his knees outwards and then back in. He snapped his left arm out in front of him and cocked his head to the left while sliding back to where he had been. He then bent and pointed to the ground and then went back up like a spring.
No, don't do it, (aye) please don't do it, (aye) cause one of us goes in
And we all go through it (aye)
Drizzy got the money, so Drizzy gonna pay it
Those my brothers, I ain't even gotta say it
That's just something they know
He rest his hands on his head and then brought them out in front of him, slowly wagging his forefingers in Nico's face. Then he snapped his arms back, his right one going towards his chest, and the left one going diagonally towards the ground as he stepped back. He brought his arms out along with his chest and then pulled it back in, sliding his left leg to the left. He gripped the top of his waistband and moved his chest in a circle as he pulled his head down and then back up, his golden hair swinging with it.
He then stood back up and crossed his left arm in front of his chest and slid to the right as his right arm bent towards his chest. He bent his left arm and let them hover above each other as he hopped to the right and moved his legs together as one. He turned to the left and swung out his arms and then brought them back, doing the same thing to his left. He spread out his arms and then pushed them forward as he jumped back, kicking out his right foot. He bent forward and walked towards Nico, popping his left elbow and then his right one. He put his hands up in front of him and pushed back and leaned to the left. Then he grinned and took his left hand and made a swirl motion and pointed to his temple.
Nico nodded his head at Will as Will smiled and ran his hand through his hair. He winked at him and Nico rolled his eyes as he stretched his arms upwards. He turned to Chiron who was already starting to play the last song.
"Last one," he called out as the lyrics filled the room.
I'm feelin' myself, I'm feelin' myself
I'm feelin' my, feelin' myself
I'm feelin' myself, I'm feelin' my, feelin' my, feelin' myself
Nico grabbed at his waistband with both hands and moved them up and down with the beat as he backed away from Will. He then slid to the right and snapped his left hand in front of him while his right hand held on to his pants. He backed up sideways and moved his hips to the beat. He jumped to the right and swung his hands in a circular motion around his head. When he landed he popped his hip and then turned fully towards Will, backing up as his right hand found his crotch. Then he lifted his left leg up and pushed to the left with his right hand while leaning to the right.
I'm feelin' myself, I'm feelin' myself
I'm feelin' my, feelin' myself
He slowed himself down and grabbed his waistband again, slowly rotating his hips as a smile creeped onto his face. He turned to the right and brought his hands above his head and brought them down, bending his body as he did. Then he slid back to the left, his hands closing around his chest and put his left hand behind his head and his right arm all the way to his right as if he were pushing off of a wall. He pushed his hands to the ground and then back up, jumping with it and then slid back, pushing his hands out in front of him. He then bent his knees and rolled his arms over the other like he was doing the karumba.
Changed the game with that digital drop
Know where you was when that digital popped
He grabbed his crotch again and crossed his foot over the other as he made his way to the right. Then he twisted his lips and jutted his left hip out and turned around and slid his hands down his torso and thighs. He pushed his hands to the left and slid back to the right. He stepped back to the left and wiped shook his hands by his shoulders as if he were wiping off dirt and then bent down at his waist and came back up with his arms above his head.
I stopped the world
Male or female, it make no difference
I stop the world, world stop…
Then he jumped back to the right and pushed his right hand out in front of him. He pulled both of his hands back to where his fists were at his waist as he time stepped backwards. He turned to the right and brought his arms out in front of him, popping them and his body along with the beat as he backed up. He then stretched to the left as he turned back to Will and stepped forward and turned around completely with his hands by his side as the words "World stop," filled the room.
Nico grinned at Will and brought his right hand up in a circular motion until the heel of his hand was by his bottom lip.
"Carry on," Nico mouthed as he heard the song cut off. Nico immediately started laughing as Will started to grin and back away from him. Everyone around him started to clap, being happy about their little exercise. "I think I won," Nico told Will with a grin. Will shook his head and grabbed the back of his head.
"Nah, I would've won if there was one more song." Nico laughed.
"Just admit it; that last song was great." Will squinted at him with a smirk and finally broke down.
"Fine." Nico laughed and then started to bounce his shoulders up and down to the nonexistent music.
"Kitty on fleek; pretty on fleek," he started saying, snapping his fingers to the words. Will chuckled and playfully pushed Nico.
"Although you are pretty, next time, I will end you." Nico stopped moving and stared at Will with wide eyes.
"Did you just call me pretty?" Nico asked him, a funny feeling filling his chest. Will grinned and stepped up into Nico's personal space.
"Maybe," he said, his voice low as he bit his lip. Nico laughed nervously and then cleared his throat, blushing at the noise that had just escaped his lips.
"I'm Nico diAngelo. I'm not pretty; I'm malicious." Will smiled and nodded his head.
"Yeah, sure thing, you're totally malicious...if malicious came funsized and wrapped in fluff." Nico blushed even harder, which, for the record, he thought was impossible.
"What? I am-am not fluffy. I am-I'm scary!" he sputtered. Will started to laugh again, this time, the laugh filling the space. It was long and deep and it made Nico smile, it was so infectious. Nico groaned internally at himself. He couldn't believe Will was making him blush and stutter, especially after he had just beat him in a dancing competition dancing to songs about sex and sex and more sex. Will shook his head.
"Nico you're cute. With the hair and the big dough eyes," he said motioning to his face, "I mean come on. How can someone not crush on that? And the fact that you try and act so hard, it just adds on to the preciousness." Nico started to pout.
"I am not precious. I'm intimidating, dammit!" The last part he said really loud and it caught the attention of not only Chiron but the entire company. Nico swallowed hard as everyone slowly looked at him as Will died of laughter in front of him. "Shut up, Solace," he muttered, kicking Will in the shin before awkwardly waving at the people staring at him.
Chiron cleared his throat and everyone's attention shifted back to him.
"Well, I'm glad everyone enjoyed that little exercise." Many of the dancers started to cheer. Chiron smiled. "Now, it's time for the real business." Another cheer. "I'm glad you all are excited although I do believe you will be singing an entirely different tune by the end of the day." Everyone quieted as the realization dawned on them. They were about to start choreographing another show-Chiron's show.
Yes, Chiron was amazing, but he was serious about his dancing. He expected the absolute best from everybody no matter how much time they spent on stage. Besides, the company only allowed a couple of months of preparation until the doors were back open to the public. That meant that once they finished a show, they were launched into learning another one and making it as great as possible. There was no time for socializing or playing games. People's jobs and money were on the line-especially Chiron's, being the director and all.
Nico sighed as he glanced at Will. This was going to be a long day.
