The intense feeling of butterflies fluttering around in her stomach was a slight annoyance. The great, invincible Pyrrha Nikos brought to her knees by one girl that had absolutely no idea she was even doing anything. Nora bounced excitedly in her chair to the sound of the music blasting through her headphones, and Pyrrha had to admit it was insanely catchy. The fact that she could even tell that was cause for concern, seeing as how Nora seemed to not care about her hearing at all. Regardless, her seemingly infinite ability to focus on multiple things at once with no problems whatsoever was scary, even to Pyrrha. She was writing down a lot of information, and yet she was mouthing all the words of the song like it was second nature to her.
Her knees bounced, her arms occasionally moved in tune to the beat, her feet were playing kick drums at the speed of sound. She was dancing. While sitting down. To Pyrrha it was the cutest thing she had ever witnessed, and felt she would ever witness with her eyes. Her orange hair threw itself messily all over the place, and her freckled face held an expression of joy as she absolutely refused to stop enjoying herself. Pyrrha wished she could actually join her in that moment, wished she could enjoy herself with Nora as much as she seemed to be doing on her own. And they were the only two in the dorm, there was absolutely nothing stopping her from asking Nora to plug her scroll into her stereo and dance with her. Because Nora would never question it, she knew. She would just agree. That was how she was.
Any excuse to dance was a good one in her books.
Pyrrha bolstered her confidence and took a deep breath before throwing caution to the wind. She stood up and walked up behind Nora, tapping her on the shoulder. Nora took her headphones off one ear and with a huge, lovely smile that made Pyrrha's heart threaten to burst, turned to look at her. "Oh, sup P?" Pyrrha managed to fight back a blush from her pale cheeks and cleared her throat.
"Y-you seemed to be enjoying yourself, and I heard the music coming from your headphones so I was just wondering if you wanted to…" Nora's smile grew wider as she urged Pyrrha to finish her sentence. A feat that she suddenly found incredibly hard to do. "D-d-dance with… Me…" she finally managed to choke out. The blush she thought she had thwarted returned full force as Nora seemingly grew even more giddy at the thought. With incredible speed and excitement Nora nearly threw off her headphones and plugged the auxiliary cable into the speaker and her scroll. All of a sudden the music blasted through her stereo speakers and with an excited cry Nora grabbed Pyrrha's hands and started into a clumsy, but very happy dance.
"I thought you would never ask!" Nora started laughing at the exasperated look on Pyrrha's face, and Pyrrha felt herself falling into its contagiousness. The beats pumping out of the boombox, the happy guitar, the funky bass, the drum beats that carried their feet. It was all leading them into a more practiced type of movement, more precise. Pyrrha very quickly grew to not care about anything but the bubbly girl dancing close to her and the fun they were having. It was the most satisfying thing in the whole world to see Nora smiling even wider than before, smiling wider because she was having fun with her.
They twisted, they turned, the grabbed each other's hands and went with the rhythm and the flow. They followed each other's movements, they did their own thing, they sang to the heavens with glee. The moment was brought tumbling down as someone knocked on the door. "Some teams are still asleep you know!" Nora let out an 'eep' as she quickly went to turn the music off. Pyrrha let out a sigh as Nora yelled an apology to whoever disturbed their moment of happiness. Pyrrha went to sit back down on the bed with a look that just screamed disappointment. Nora tapped her on the shoulder and as she turned around she was met with a kiss on the cheek.
"Thanks Pyrrha, that was sooooo much fun while it lasted!" Nora skipped back to her seat to work more on her test, leaving Pyrrha with wide eyes and a blush redder than Ruby's cloak.
"You're welcome."
