Worry that he'd laugh, worry that she'd find out he really just wanted to be friends and that her idea that there could have been more behind the evilness that had happened with the hate potion was entirely pointless. Worry that she'd had good reason not to bring him up when she'd been talking with Risa over the holidays. It was all silly, but then she really hadn't admitted anything like that to anyone lately. So she'd thought it made sense to be a bit afraid... until he'd spoken, and she blinked. That wasn't really something she'd expected to hear. "It was definitely weird. I almost went and just hung out with the professors who were there, once the dancing had started," she confessed. Okay, part of that had been because she hadn't had a partner, but there had apparently been possibly more behind that. If he'd felt something weird about it too. She'd smiled again at his other statement, though. "Definitely."
As he'd spun her, she let out a bit of a giggle, only to find that the amusement faded as he'd then gotten her into an appropriate waltz hold. He definitely wasn't a bad dancer, that was for sure, and she adjusted her own hold as he spoke again. "I wouldn't have thought you'd bring it up if you weren't at least familiar with the style," she replied, as they started dancing. She agreed with his observation that swing was more dangerous than the waltz, that was for sure, but it was also more fun for the same reasons. Ballroom dances were almost more intimate, just because of the very rules that were connected, but sometimes there needed to be more energy. Even if she'd only dabbled in most forms of dance, she knew that much.
Huh so this was how things would have been if he had asked her to dance during the class, it wasn't awkward in any way which really hadn't been what Matt was expecting. Seemed kinda funny that a few weeks ago they hadn't even been talking to one another thanks to the damage that was caused due to the hate potion and now they were dancing together.
So far so good huh, at least you haven't tripped over yourself and just make this go from being really nice to totally awkward in less than five seconds. "I sorta found it a bit amusing that the professors had to demonstrated how a waltz was supposed to look, honestly if I was looking to make a spectacle of myself.. I could have shown everyone. It wasn't like it was my first time dancing." Well that could have easily been figured out by anyone who had in fact watched his steps, it was very fluid and interesting in a couple of ways but people had always been surprised to just find out that fact that he knew how to dance to begin with. As they continued to move perfectly in time with the music playing, he couldn't help but feel a little weird; what was going on now?
Maybe things really were different between them, well he had sorta seen her as just more than his best friend at the school which she had had an idea of but things really had been weird somehow. Suddenly it all became perfectly clear to him, the question was if he was going to bring it up or not since it was going to probably make things quiet again.
Don't even think about saying it, dude.. two words, bad idea. Regardless of his earlier thoughts, maybe she had a right to know what he was thinking. "I was wondering.. would you think it was weird if I told you that I wanted to kiss you." There now it was said, he wasn't sure whether to prepare for her to walk away or just not say anything; either way it was going to be bad for him.
