❀ .. i dont knwo much abt ballroom dancing i am sorry
🗨️ ; ballroom dancing with riddle becomes something more
step one, step two, dash..
steps kept repeating in your head as you tried to perfect the dance, feet occasionally clashing against riddle's.
you two were assigned a ballroom dance for class, paired with riddle you quite expected him to be stern and strict yet during your practice with him he seemed, soft.
you don't know if he was simply just in a good mood or not, but even so you'd enjoy every moment of this with him.
you were mesmerized. the way he looked so focused, the way his hands feel so soft against yours, the way he'd help you so gently with the steps made your heart flutter.
you had a crush on him for quite a while and you thanked the sevens you were assigned this assignment with him.
his hands rested on your shoulder, both of your hands connecting just right beside you head while swaying and dancing to the classical music, you wished this moment would last forever.
just then, the music stopped. "well, our routine for today is done. i expect that you'll be back here tomorrow again to practice" of course you would, you'd take any chance to be with him.
"yea sure, i mean it's an important project." while giving him a small smile.

the classical music was once again present in the room, while two bodies swayed around in sync.
you and riddle practiced again just as promised, this time, you got considerably better at coordinate your feet with his.
it felt magical once again, until the song ended which meant your routine was over. riddle still held your hands, his face looking up at you with a slightly visible blush tinting his face.
"[name], if someone were to confess to you, what would be your answer?"
startled by his sudden question, it seems like you can't say anything. it seems too much like a confession.
"well, i mean it really depends who would be the one confessing"
you said while trying to look anywhere but his face, while he rested his hand on your shoulder, were you two gonna practice the routine again?
"shall we dance once more?" he said while starting to dance once more, while you caught up immediately.
"[name], it feels quite nice dancing with you." riddle said while you nodded in agreement.
"you know, i like you a lot [name]. and i would give anything in the world just for this moment to stop. you are my definition of perfection and elegance, i love you."
what? no way this is happening. you stopped your movements immediately, your brain still trying to register that he just confessed to you!
"you.. really like me?" you answered while while riddle brought both of you hands together, clasping them under his. "of course i would, you have encaptured my heart since we first met."
oh my, this has to be a dream. you were left there speechless, was this really happening?
"oh- wow, i would have never expected this actually," you said while looking around the room once more, "i like you too. since the day i saw you."
riddle nudged your back a bit closer to him, cupping your face,
"well thats quite pleasant. i hope you'll dont mind if i indulge a bit into loving you, hm?"
