I got into the other ballet class!!!! This teachers hard I really like her. I told her I’m working towards an audition and I want her to pick on me and be hard on my this semester.

✨Dacing Dolls✨

DEZEMBER. pink-cold hands. enticingly shimmering heaps of individually wrapped marzipan or chocolates. glittering lipgloss. the tiresome search for heeled boots. plum jam. the scent of wet-cold pine trees. face masks every Friday. raspberry flavoured cough sweets rattling with every step. cashmere and wool. dinner at the Christmas market (crêpes or yeast dumplings, the scent of caramelised almonds). hours spent journaling. Hoffmann and Tschaikowski. perfumes resembling spun sugar, marshmallows and smoke. bedtime yoga. fairy lights reflected on wet asphalt.

It's sending me that Peter got annihilated during his landing and Peni, Noir and Ham got smacked pretty hard too, while Gwen had a graceful painless entrance.

the ask abt toxic ballet au jordan taking care of you!! buying protein bars instead of their usual snack bars in case it's the only thing you eat all day during rehearsals :( their demeanor doesn't change--they're still mean, chastising you for not taking care of yourself, questioning every bruise n blister they notice littering your skin.

they tell themself it's just because your success is interlaced with theirs, because they can only perform as well as their partner. try not to think abt how they know, deep down, there's more to it than that.

when you have a break while your classmates are rehearsing their variations and you guys are sitting in the corner, jordan watching n taking an occasional swig from their water bottle while u lay down, head resting on your dance bag. trying to catch up for the sleep you missed because you danced late the night before. "you're going to fuck up your neck." they chastise, n you're too tired to do anything over than glare and them rolling their eyes and pulling your head into their lap.

n you're too startled to say anything, glad they can't see the way your face flushes. and they know, scoffing around a "it's not that serious. i don't want to dance with you if you're sore." and you just close your eyes, trying to ignore the heat pooling in your tummy and your proximity to their crotch and the warmth radiating off of them. wondering why you feel all dazed nd needy when their hand comes to rest on your neck n why the 45 minute nap you manage to squeeze in has you feeling more well rested than the previous night's 4 hours of sleep.

this feels like a warm hug.

you know that super nichè feeling of laying against someone and dozing half asleep half awake and it feels like you're underwater, like when you were taking a bath as a kid and you'd duck your head under for just a bit in the warm water and it was like your own private world for just a second. that kind of serenity, and then you feel the distant hum of talking around you, the vibration of the person you're laying against as they speak to others. all present but faintly unrecognizable, like charlie browns teacher, just background noise, tv static. n it helps lull you. that feeling of life moving and happening around you but you know you're tucked safe and warm against this person. its that feeling when jordan pulls your head into their lap. almost dreamlike.

jordans communicating with other people but they glance at you alot, stroke their fingers through the strands of hair that have fallen against your cheek. think about how soft and delicate you are and how much power is in such a small frame. thinks about how they're a fox, and you must be a rabbit, but for all intense purposes, the sight of you curled up on their lap doesn't make them want to bare fangs. they just want you to feel that peace for a little while longer.
