lee chan + “you trust me, right?”
chan doesn’t have to look at your face to know that you’re pouting, but he does so anyways. why shouldn’t he? you’re too cute for him.
“oh cmon, we barely even started!”
you groan, forehead leaning against his shoulder.
maybe you should close your eyes for a break.
yes. a break would be very much welcome. it didn’t matter that you were standing up– you can already feel yourself drifting to sleep on his shoulder.
too bad you’re jolted awake almost immediately, chan’s large hands shaking you gently. he’s almost intimated by the animalistic growl you let out, but chan laughs it out when you try to snuggle deeper into the crook of his neck.
“babe, we’re still standing.” all he gets back is a muffled groan. he chuckles again as his hands slide down your arms, intertwining with yours together and resuming position.
“one more time, i promise. you almost got the footwork down!”
you trust chan and his insane dance skills. you really do. that’s why you’ve asked him to teach you the waltz in the first place.
…who knew he was such a tenacious teacher.
your feet hurt like never before, muscles you didn’t know you had stretched beyond your imagination, your entire outfit absolutely drenched in sweat after a grueling 2-hour warm-up and dance practice. how he still looks perfect after all that, you’ll never know.
chan locks eyes with you, staring back with an unbridled amount of energy. “one more time; i’ll massage your calves later.” he grins when you sigh, knowing he’s won the one-sided argument.
“we’ll do it with music. don’t overthink the steps; i’ll lead you, okay?” he pauses, staring straight into your soul. “you trust me, right?”
“of course i trust you.” a genuine smile on your tired face. “lead the way, mr lee.”
his hand on your waist, the other firmly in yours. soft music fills the practice room once more, chan gently leading you through the 3-step waltz– maybe it’s not as bad as you think after all.
