Summary: Marinette was hoping to dance with Luka at the spring dance. The only problem? SheâŠdoesnât actually know how to dance. Good thing Dingoâs always willing to help out a friend in need.
Authorâs Notes/Warnings: I had this mental image of Marinette in pajamas & heels, and the next thing I knewâŠIdk the past few weeks have been super stressful & I needed something short, sweet, and silly. đ
âDance with Meâ
âYou want me to what now?â
Her face was burning. It had to be â she could feel the heat flushing her cheeks. She pressed her lips together and looked away. Her hands clenched at her sides, clenching and unclenching to dispel some of her nervous energy. Dingo was still staring at her through those tacky orange shades he had worn that day, his eyes wide and eyebrows high on his forehead. She blinked quickly â once, twice â when she felt tears pricking at the corners of her eyes.
She hated this.
Asking anyone for help, but especially asking Dingo for help.
She was Ladybug, for Peteâs sake! She should be able to do anything on her own, and yetâŠ
âTeach me to dance,â she huffed, because that was the one thing she couldnât learn on her own. Two weeks of bruises and failed YouTube lessons (and a Miracle Box full of kwamis snickering every time she tripped over her rug or bumped into her desk or decapitated her mannequin) had proven that. He blinked and lifted his shades to squint at her.
ââŠoâŠkâŠ?â he said slowly. She pushed out a breath and rolled her eyes.
