Dance

Dancing Meme👑

Dancing well takes serious skill and talent, but just about anyone can shake their hips or tap their feet to a beat. No matter your competency in cutting the rug, there's some pleasure to be found in letting loose and moving your body to the music. Not to mention... sometimes it's fun to get all dressed up! (And if not, then perhaps in seeing a partner all dressed up?)

So, let your cares go and let's dance!


Prompts

1. prom
It's the biggest social event of the year - provided you're still in high school! Do you have the guts to ask your crush to the dance, or are you more the shy wallflower type? How about a platonic date with your bestie?

2. ballroom
Ah, the formal gala: it's prom for adults! Dress in your finest and get yourself a partner for a tango or a waltz. It's for charity, after all.

3. alone
Do a little jig in the kitchen, or enjoy a living room slowdance with a significant other to the dulcet tones of your smart speaker.

4. club
You're hitting the clubs and you're ready to grind! What better place to meet new people who know how to have fun?

5. competition
You take dance very seriously. Like, competition-level seriously. Practice with a partner, or face off against a rival.

6. traditional
Let me show you the dance of my people, from the village-wide revelry of a summertime bon odori to the sensual swing of the hula.

7. adult
Some dances are For Adult Eyes Only. And yes, poles and laps may be involved.

8. wildcard
Anything goes!

3 of course <3

[bestqualified]

The downside of spending the holidays with her parents was that, even when Wanda had flown out to Saint Petersburg to join them, they had very little alone time. It was to be expected when she invited a significant other out to a family event; the priority still had to be her parents, indulging them in family traditions. Some were old but most were new. They hadn't had an actual family holiday since Ohio, when Natasha and Yelena were still young. She appreciated Melina and Alexei's efforts to be involved, even when it was frustrating.

But she was very glad to be home in the end. She was still a bit sore about missing Christmas with Wanda, at home, and she had done her best to make up for it, even if their celebrations were belated.

Their movie – one of Hallmark's many classics – had come to an end, and the credits were rolling through to the end. The song playing over them was one of those soft, slow Christmas covers, and even though Nat was cozy and content, she disentangled herself from Wanda's grasp and extended a hand. "C'mon, малышка. Dance with me?"

[onlymyown]

The travel and the time apart did make it downright blissful to be back home, cuddled up on the couch for a lovely movie night in. The cuddles were a crucial part of a night like this, especially since they'd picked a hallmark holiday movie, and so Wanda had to offer some token objection when Nat started getting up.

She gave up putting on a sad face about it once Natasha spoke, though. Dancing was high up on the short list of good alternatives to a cuddle, perhaps especially just around the living room, and Wanda wouldn't have been able to keep the smile off her face as she got up and took Nat's hand if she tried. "Oh, always."

[bestqualified]

In her own home, free of spectators (aside from the cat), Natasha was sock-footed; therefore, the height advantage was all Wanda's. The team had good-naturedly teased her about her height for as long as she could remember, and she'd always roll her eyes and grumble at them, but here, with the girl she loved? She didn't mind being short, pushing up just a bit on the tips of her toes to kiss her.

She pushed the coffee table back with one foot, smoothly sliding it just out of the space between the TV and the couch, giving them more space to sway around the carpeted floor. "С Рождеством, малышка," she murmured, rearranging Wanda's arms to wrap around her shoulders.

and of course now I'm wide awake lol

[onlymyown]

For the majority of her life, Wanda would say she had no real particular preference about heights. Mostly, she was fairly certain that was true. In moments like this, though, when she could gaze down at Natasha, or when she did the tiptoes for a kiss thing...

Well, in those moments, it would be a lie. Who would be able to resist that?

"С Рождеством, любимый." It felt like a moment where she ought to say something else, but there weren't any other words that sprang right to mind, so for the moment Wanda just swayed, squeezing Nat's shoulders gently, and then tilted her head to steal another kiss. "Я люблю тебя."

my sincerest sympathies <3

[bestqualified]

Natasha raised her hands to cup Wanda's cheeks, thumbs stroking gently over her cheeks as she drank her in with soft eyes. Butterflies fluttered in the pit of her belly, warmth spread out from her chest to the tips of her fingers and toes. There was something particularly special about hearing Wanda speaking Russian; it had always made her swoon a bit, having someone else she could talk to in her mother tongue, someone who wasn't hissing orders into her ear.

"I love you," she echoed, smiling as she closed in for yet another kiss. "Я всегда любил тебя."

She could just hear the boys (and Carol) teasing her for this, but she didn't care. She had lived too long with regrets about her choices in her relationship with Wanda - how she'd acted when the team was falling apart, the distance she'd forced between them, both physical and emotional. There had been upsides to that situation, like finding Yelena and her parents again, taking down the Red Room together, but she had spent five and a half long years wishing she had made a different choice, said all the things she wanted to say before Wanda was gone.

Enough time had been wasted. She'd realized that when she'd finally set out to make things right. She wasn't going to waste anymore, and frankly, she was too old for self-consciousness.

<3

[onlymyown]

If a moment like this happened in front of even a small audience of their friends and teammates, one way or another any opportunity for teasing would be very short. This was better, though, this little bubble all their own, keeping this moment intact. Wanda could live in it for years, swaying around the room with her knees all weak and that not mattering at all since she was already leaning on Natasha.

She drew that next kiss out, and then only moved enough to press kisses over both her cheeks, too. "I love that look on your face, too. And the way you touch my face like that. And how many nights like this we have."
