Jade Leech
Jade was never one for dancing, per se, but a very enthusiastic Prefect looking at him with puppy eyes was a good enough incentive as any.
"C'mon Jade-senpai," You said, tugging him to the middle of the hall. "They don't have parties like this everyday." And you were right, parties seldom happened in Mostro Lounge. But he was Jade Leech after all. He could indulge in you for a few minutes of mindless dancing.
That was until the music drastically shifted into a slow song. Jade froze. He swore that he saw Floyd standing near the sound booth with a smug smile on his face.
"Do you know how to ballroom dance, senpai?"
"Regrettably, I do not," Jade said shortly.
"Well, do you want to try?" With such an expectant smile on your face, how was Jade to refuse?
It wasn't long before Jade was flushing down his neck after stepping on your feet for the nth time.
"For someone who moves elegantly, your coordination is terrible," You teased and Jade was mentally preparing to roast Floyd on a spit.
"If you'd like to dance, Floyd would be happy to accompany you," Jade reasoned quickly. "He is more than competent dancer—."
"Senpai~" You drew out the last syllable, tugging till he was chest-to-chest with you. "It's you that I want to dance with, okay?"
And Jade shut up at that. His hand squeezed yours as he clumsily continued to blunder through the steps. Maybe dancing wasn't so bad, especially if it was with you.

Trey Clover
Trey had never been the one to listen to music in the kitchen, but you were. That was exactly why he was getting tugged along with you in a clumsy sort of dance. You laughed when he narrowly avoided bumping into a counter.
"Wow, senpai, where'd you learn those moves?" You asked, the teasing light on your tongue. He flushed lightly at the words, before grabbing your arm and pulling you into a spin.
"Give a guy a break," Trey mumbled, eyeing the clock. "I'm trying not to burn the cake."
"If it burns, then can I eat it?"
He sighed as you tugged him into another spin, "I spoil you too much."
That was when the music shuffled into a soft, orchestral tune. He froze in his spot, his hand lamely limp in yours are he looked everywhere but at you.
That was when you let go, bowing deeply, "Ahem, may I have this dance, Sir Clover?"
Trey took one look at the grin on your face and placed his hand in yours, "I hope you know how to lead, because I'm not well-versed in ballroom dancing."
You laughed, bright and colorful, "All you gotta do is hold on to me, alright, senpai?"
"Alright," Trey's reply was almost automatic, his heart fluttering. "I'll make sure never to let go." It sounded like a promise. And it was. It was a promise he was intent on keeping, after all.
Tumblr media
Ace Trappola
Ace was having the time of his life. There was a smirk on his face as he entwined his fingers with yours, leading you through the crowd.
"Ace Trappola! We're– We just left all the others behind!" You scolded over the noise of the crowd.
"Oops, my bad," Ace said, clearly not feeling bad at all. "Those boring losers didn't even want to dance."
Your brows furrowed, "Those 'boring losers' are gonna end up getting kidnapp—"
"Relax," Ace drawled, pulling you into a spin. "Have some faith in Jack, will ya? 'Sides, it'd be a crime not to dance, Prefect." You looked two seconds from hitting him with a tirade of insults but he watched as your shoulders slumped.
Hook. Line. Sinker.
Ace hummed the familiar tune, watching as you finally started loosening up. That was when he heard a voice booming over the speakers, "Alright folks, we got a request from Trappola Sucks to put on a slow song! Hope you enjoy it, Trappola Sucks!"
The song shifted to a slower one and you all but laughed, "Fifty thaumarks that it was Epel and Deuce."
"This is so not funny," Ace muttered, but he still pulled you closer. All the others around you had paired up, and he would be damned if a stranger came to take you away.
"May I have this dance, Mr. Trappola Sucks?" You asked, and he couldn't help but fondly roll his eyes.
His heart almost jumped up to his throat when he noticed just how close you were to him. Sevens, his palms were sweating.
You huffed out another laugh as you let your head fall on his shoulder, "Where'd all that bravado go? Don't tell me you've finally fallen for my charm?"
Ace pouted and before he could process what he was about to say, he blurted, "So what if I did? Are you gonna do anything about it?"
You hummed, squeezing his palm, "I would take you on a date?" And now Ace wasn't sure who was being swept off their feet. He was sure he confessed, but the way you took initiative made him speechless.
"Is that a yes, Trappola?"
"Fuck you. Of course it's a yes."
