Rating: pg
Genre: AU, fluff
Summary: Donghae is not that fond of dancers... until he meets Eunhyuk.
A/N: This popped up when I was watching my younger siblings danceshow. They have a totally cute breakdanceinstructor <3
“I bought us tickets for your sister's dance show this weekend...”
“But mom, I'm busy this weekend, me and...” Donghae sighed when he saw the look on his mothers face. He had to go. He knew his sister would be happy if he showed up... and he wanted to be a good brother so what choice did he have?
Though, to be honest... he didn't feel like it at all. He never understood the thing with dancing and dancers. His sister was 16 now and was joining the more advanced dance groups, she was one of the more talented students. She always came home from her dance practice and could talk endlessly about her dance-friends, the new choreography and her new dance teacher. Apparently he was a totally amazing guy and Donghae's sister totally adored him. Donghae just couldn't get why. He was awesome too! He had to admit he was a little jealous, he was her brother after all, if she was supposed to look up to someone it was him. What was so special with dancers?
But anyway... on Saturday afternoon he found himself on the bus towards the theater where the dance show was going to take place. He had been taking his time to get ready that morning, he was still going out after this. He sighed as he put on his headphones and he let the music blast in his ears as someone practically ran to get on the bus on time. Donghae lazily studied the guy, he was dressed in a pair of baggy jeans, a lose shirt with long sleeves and sunglasses to complete the look,. His hair was dark and cut short, Donghae swore silently for himself... He himself had spent hours styling his hair and picking out his clothes, but this guy... he looked like he had just thrown on the first pair of clothing he could find and he still looked so fucking perfect. It pissed him off.
When he stepped off the bus on his stop the guy followed... maybe they were going to the same place? Hopefully not... but Donghae had no such luck. Of course that perfect guy was going to the same place... he was even greeted by a lot of the “staff” as he got inside. Maybe he was one of the staff too? Maybe he was a dancer? Whatever he was, Donghae didn't care at all. Sure, the other guy was insanely hot, but what difference did it make? He would probably never see him again as he saw his back disappear backstage to the dressing rooms.
He saw him on the dance show though. Donghae could do nothing but stare at the other man as he moved determinately over the stage. He was very talented, his movements, his dancesteps had a certain soft touch, like he knew exactly when he was not supposed to overdo it and not. When you saw him dancing the same choreography you could clearly see that he was not one of the students. He was far too skilled to be only a student. Donghae watched, entranced, as the other moved his body with such amazing... Donghae didn't know if he could call it graze or if he just was very very talented, it was like his movements flowed like water. It was just amazing, whenever the boy was on the stage he couldn't stop staring, he was positive that he probably missed when his younger sister danced but it didn't matter, all he saw was him. Only him.
After the dance show Donghae was still in a daze when he met up with his sister. His sister was over delighted when she spotted him in the crowd of people that was leaving the theater. She was skipping around her brother and told him that he had to meet her friends and dragged him off “backstage” to the changing rooms. Donghae didn't really pay attention to anything his sister said, all he could think off was that body moving, dancing like he'd never been doing anything else.
As they got closer to the changing rooms someone greeted Donghae's sister with a dazzling smile and hugged her tightly. Donghae's eyes who had been fixated on the floor moved over to the man that was now in front of him and his sister. It was him. Him. The dancer. Oh god, he was even more beautiful up close than he had been on stage. His hair was still a little damp after the intense dancing but he still smiled. That smile could melt anyone's heart. He was positively the most adorable boy Donghae had ever seen. He was gorgeous.
“You were really great, good job!” The adorable man praised Donghae's sister before he threw a curious gaze at Donghae who just glared at him.
“Thank you oppa! Ah, and oppa, this is my brother I told you about~ Donghae, this is my dance instructor, Eunhyuk.”
“So this is your brother? I'm lucky....” Eunhyuk said as he reached out his hand to greet Donghae. Donghae didn't take it at first, he just stared at the adorable smile the other man had on his face. Then he took in the whole picture of Eunhyuk. It was no wonder his body was so amazing, the guy was a dancer after all. He still wore the same outfit from before, minus the glasses. Donghae reached out his hand to Eunhyuk without even thinking about it. He was not supposed to like his guy and still his heart was pounding in his chest as he felt Eunhyuk's warm hand hold a grip around his. Donghae bit his bottom lip, he secretly wished he could see more of Eunhyuk's milky white skin, he probably had some amazing muscles (and if Donghae was lucky = abs) hidden underneath all those clothes and Donghae really wanted to see more, maybe find out what he tasted like.
“It's nice to finally meet you, your sister speaks a lot about you... she said that you're not that fond of dancers.” Eunhyuk said, a gentle smile on his lips. Donghae wanted to taste those lips so bad. He bit down on his bottom lip hard to control himself.
“Uh... well... I don't know any dancers besides my sister...” Donghae spluttered out. Eunhyuk let go of his hand and eyed him up and down for a few moments.
“You can get to know me. You should try dancing, come by the studio with your sister sometime, I'll give you free lessons.”
“He was so flirting with you.”
“He was not...”
“He so was, believe me... I see Hyukjae twice a week, he's been dying to meet you since he saw you pick me up after practice once.”
“He... what?”
“Uh... just pretend you didn't hear that ok?”
“Did you just say... that he already knew who I was?”
“Uh well... yeah. The whole dance-crew know you're my brother...”
Donghae sighed, this popularity of his... it would get him in trouble on day.
“Come with me to the studio next week?”
“NO!... Uh... I mean... I can't... I have a lot of schoolwork to do.”
“But pleaseeee~ Eunhyuk would be more than happy if you showed up.”
“Gives me another reason not to show up.”
“I saw you staring at him...”
“I didn't stare...”
“Liar.”
Eunhyuk tried to keep the disappointment out of his face and out of his voice as Donghae's sister told him that her brother was not to show up today either. Did he do something weird? Did he say something to him that time that scared him off? He had stopped nagging at Donghae's sister to bring him there after he had finally met him at the dance show. He had hoped that maybe, just maybe, Donghae would show up the next week. God, he was so stupid. Donghae didn't even know him and he probably didn't like him... or guys at that matter. Why was life so cruel? He just wanted Donghae to... well... wanted Donghae to what? Talk to him? Dance with him? Kiss the living daylights out of him? Fuck him senseless? Love him?
This was driving him mad for sure. When had this undying want for Donghae started to develop? When did this obsession with seeing him turn into something like love? He didn't love Donghae! He barely even knew him. He was infatuated yes, but love, no. Or?
When two months had went by without any Donghae showing up Eunhyuk gave up. The other boy was never going to show up. Donghae's younger sister assured him that Donghae was just busy and that he would really show up when school was not taking up so much of his life. Eunhyuk just smiled at her and told her that it was alright if he didn't show up. He even assured himself that it was alright if Donghae never showed up, ever. Why did it matter anyway? Eunhyuk sighed as he had finished yet another dance lesson and was stretching as someone cleared his throat behind him. He spun around only to see Donghae standing there. He was wearing sweatpants, a thick sweater and a scarf. It was like he was trying to cover up or keep warm since he had a thick jacket on as well. His hair was a mess. A beautiful, sexy mess... Eunhyuk thought.
“Uhm... excuse me?” Donghae spoke softly, his voice sounded weak, so weak that Eunhyuk wanted to hug him to protect him from all the evil there was in this world.
“Yes?” Eunhyuk tried really hard to not sound excited to see him there, though his heart was pounding so hard in his chest he feared that Donghae could hear it from his position by the door.
“Did my sister leave already?”
Eunhyuk's excitement died down immediately. Donghae's sister. He had totally forgot about that. Donghae would never had gotten here if it weren't for his sister, they would never had met if it weren't for her. Eunhyuk kept a cool face as he looked up to meet Donghae's tired gaze. His eyes were slightly glazed like he was running a fever or something.
“She left 20 minutes ago.”
Donghae heaved a sigh and his shoulders dropped slightly.
“Just great.” He muttered and turned to leave. Eunhyuk chewed on his bottom lip slightly. It was no or never!
“Donghae-sshi?”
Donghae stopped and turned around only to see Eunhyuk's face uncomfortably close to his own. He tried to keep the blush off his face and he prayed to God not to let the dancer notice. Eunhyuk backed off as soon as he sensed that he might have gotten a little bit too close.
“Uh... I was wondering... if you'd like to take private dance-lessons...”
Eunhyuk nervously shifted his gaze around the room, trying to avoid looking Donghae in the eyes. Donghae bit down on his bottom lip. He would love to dance. He would love to dance with Eunhyuk, he wanted to become as good as the danceinstructor. But he just couldn't get himself to say it out loud. He wanted to get to know the other boy. Damn, he wanted to know more about him as fast as possible so Eunhyuk would fall in love with him.
Eunhyuk though, took Donghae's lack of an answer as if he was being rejected. He felt defeated and he bit his bottom lip hard to hold back his tears. Eunhyuk cried easily and he refused to let Donghae see him cry.
“I... I-I'm sorry... I shouldn't have asked you that. You clearly don't want to since you never showed up before. God... I'm so stupid. I'm sorry Donghae. I'm sorry for taking up your precious time.”
Donghae stared at the dancer in front of him. He didn't even look him in the eyes as he turned around and went back into the studio while wiping something out of his eyes. Was Eunhyuk crying?
“I would love to.”
Eunhyuk spun around and stared at Donghae with some tears still visible on his beautiful face.
“I'm sorry I never came here before... I just... uhm... I was really very busy and I felt too embarrassed to show up... I thought that maybe you'd laugh at me since I'm not that skilled when it comes to dancing. I'm not a dance-genius like my sister or you.”
“I'm not a genius...”
“Yes you are! When I saw you at the show. God, I couldn't keep my eyes of you, you're so beautiful when you dance and I...” Donghae suddenly went quiet as he realized that he had started to rant... about things he shouldn't rant about. Eunhyuk was smiling though.
“You're cute.”
Eunhyuk's voice was warm and soft. It made Donghae feel a lot warmer than he had the past few days while he was being sick. He bit hos bottom lip nervously and blushed.
“So... when will the lessons start?”
“As soon as you get better, you look sick.” Eunhyuk smiled and turned around. He was looking for something and when he was done he handed Donghae a note with a few random numbers scribbled down.
“Here's my number, call me as soon as you get better, alright?”
Donghae nodded and put the note into his pocket.
“Uhm... I guess I see you later then.”
Eunhyuk nodded and gave him another smile before Donghae left. The dancer made a mental note to thank Donghae's sister later.
It took almost a week for Donghae to call Eunhyuk. And when he finally called it was during one of Eunhyuk's dancelessons.
“Alright, let's take a break for five minutes...” Eunhyuk exclaimed the exact moment that his phone started ringing from it's place on the bench. He hurried over and answered without looking at the display.
“This is Eunhyuk speaking.”
“Uhm... hi... it's... uhm... it's Donghae.”
Eunhyuk smiled, showing his infamous gummy-smile.
“Hi Donghae! What's up?”
Some of Eunhyuk's students were giggling at his ridiculous behavior. Eunhyuk ignored them.
“I was wondering about those lessons we were talking about before... I just... wanted you to know that if you want to... I'm still interested.”
Eunhyuk felt his heart explode with happiness. Finally. Finally he would be able to talk to Donghae and hang out with him. Teach him how to dance, dance with him, listen to music with him and having a great time.
“Of course! Just... uhm... is tomorrow night alright with you?”
“Yes.”
“Great... just show up around eight, ok?”
“Sure... well... see you tomorrow then!”
Eunhyuk was still smiling as he hung up. He turned around only to meet his laughing students.
“Oooh.. Seems like our instructor finally scored~”
“Oh shut up and get in position.”
Donghae had thought that Eunhyuk was going to be nice on him since he was a beginner, but Eunhyuk was a tough instructor and he worked the poor fish very hard.
“No... stop stop stop...”
Eunhyuk turned off the music and stepped onto the floor so he was standing beside Donghae in front of the mirror.
“What's up with your arms... Look... this is what you do..” Eunhyuk flailed his arms as he went through the steps they had learned last week. “This is how it should be.” Eunhyuk moved his arms in a fluid movement on his left side and then moving over doing the same on the right side as he moved his feet perfectly over the floor. Donghae just gaped at him.
“I can't do that...”
“Of course you can... relax your arms...” Donghae felt his heart beat louder in his chest as Eunhyuk stepped up behind him and grabbed his hands. Donghae was shivering at the touch. This was the second time within an hour that the gorgeous dancer had touched him, Donghae caught himself longing for his touch. Eunhyuk's hands were so soft.
“Move like this...”
Donghae didn't even breath nor did he listen to what Eunhyuk told him as he could feel the dancers breath on his neck. He smelled like strawberry, wonderful. The moment lasted for less then a minute and when Eunhyuk let go Donghae wanted to turn around and kiss him senseless. But Eunhyuk had already walked over to the stereo and started the music again. Donghae tried to remember how to move his arms when Eunhyuk stopped the music again.
“Donghae... your hips.”
Oh God.
Donghae almost let a moan slip from his lips as Eunhyuk put his soft hands on his hips and guided his movement. When the younger was left to dance the steps again he was way to distracted to get anything right.
“Alright... let's stop here for tonight.”
“I can do it, let me try again.”
“Show me next time, today's lesson is over, we've been dancing for 3 hours already. You must me tired. Remember to rest well. I'll see you on Thursday.”
Donghae pouted. He wanted to dance more. He wanted to be around Eunhyuk more. He had never expected the dancer to be so wonderful. He was just... perfect. He was funny, talented, gorgeous as hell and just wonderful. Eunhyuk laughed as he saw the younger pout.
“Aw... don't pout... I wanna kiss you when you do.” Eunhyuk said, making Donghae turn deep red and pouting even more.
“You want me to kiss you?” The older of the two asked and stepped closer to the other. Donghae squeaked as Eunhyuk pulled him closer into his arms.
“Well... if that's what you want...”
When Donghae came home that night he had slightly kiss-swollen lips, lovebites on his neck and a incredibly dorky look plastered on his face. His younger sister just shook her had at him and pretended that he was a stranger and that she was not related to her retarded older brother.
