“I can’t believe there’s a dance this week and no one I know is here right now.” Chara said to themselves. “Not like I wanted to dance at a stupid school thing anyway.” After grabbing their books they slammed the locker closed, instantly revealing another Chara that was behind the open door. “Aaaa!”
“Sorry, did I surprise you?” Sprinkles asked.
“How long were you there?!” SSC Chara completely skipped past Sprinkles’ question to ask one of their own.
“I had a question to ask, and after hearing what you said I think it’ll be a yes.” They beamed with a smile.
“You’re not taking me to the dance.” SSC Chara told Sprinkles.
“I didn’t know that’s what you wanted, I just wanted to know if Frisk was gone, I’ll pick you up at seven.” Sprinkles told SSC Chara and walked down the hall. “See you then.” They waved.
“What? No! I said no! Are you even listening?” SSC Chara yelled after Sprinkles. “Ugh!” They exclaimed, realizing they were going to that dance whether they wanted to or not. At least it was the cute Chara, and not some degenerate, they thought to give themselves some solace in the fact.
A few hours later SSC Chara was patting down their dress, they didn’t like wearing dresses often, but no doubt Sprinkles was going to show up in a suit. They might not have been thrilled about this dance, but they may as well look like a good couple doing it. Ugh, what if people did see them as a couple? They grimaced at the thought.
A knock came at the door, informing SSC Chara their date had arrived. “Let’s just get this over with.” They told themselves and went to the door to open it. “Why are you in a dress?!”
“This?” Sprinkles inquired to their dress. “I couldn’t decide between a suit or a dress, but then I remembered you like calling me cute.”
“Then why do you keep calling me the cute Chara?”
“What else am I supposed to call you!” SSC Chara yelled in response, trying to mask their embarrassment in anger. “You’ve got the round face, cutesy clothes, rainbow scarf, the I’m so sweet and lovable personality.”
“Well I do have a nickname.” Sprinkles informed SSC Chara.
“....Oh come on! Even your nickname is cute.”
“Thanks.” Sprinkles beamed and grabbed Chara’s hand, now let’s go dance.
“No wait!” SSC Chara had wanted to take the opportunity to change into a suit if Sprinkles was wearing the dress, but it seemed Sprinkles wasn’t going to wait for SSC Chara to change.
Sprinkles and Chara walked into the gymnasium where the dance was held. Typical School dance with refreshments in the corner surrounded by those too shy to ask a partner to dance, DJ on stage playing the newest hit songs it’s assumed teens love, and the different social groups hanging in their respective spots with little actual dancing happening. This however wasn’t getting Sprinkles’ excitement down.
“Come on, dance floor’s empty.” The eager Sprinkles said taking Chara by the hand to to the center of the room.
“Wait!” Chara tried fighting back. “We’d be the only ones, everyone would stare at us.”
“Well why wouldn’t they?” Sprinkles asked. “You’re the prettiest one here.”
“I will actually murder!” The red faced Chara yelled, but their dance partner once again ignored their constant threats and drug Chara to the middle of the floor to dance. And as if by dramatic irony, the song ended and the DJ put on a slow dance for the only pair dancing.
“Shall we?” Sprinkles gave a little bow and presenting their hand to be taken in Chara’s.
“You’re not going to lead me into a dance in front of everyone.” Chara told Sprinkles.
“I didn’t realize you wanted to lead, I’ll start first then you take lead.” The other dance partner said and pulled Chara close to them.
“That’s not what I meant!” Chara protested, but to no avail, and soon found themselves in lead position to dance with Sprinkles in front of everyone. Deep breath Chara was telling themself, one dance and it’d be over, right?
All eyes were on the pair of Storyswap Charas as they stole the scene, the two swapping who led the dance whenever one would be try to escape away from the attention. A few more spins and movements later, and others decided to grab their partner for a dance. The dance thanks to the two Charas had livened up, but neither one really noticed as their attention was on each other that night.
A platonic dance date between my two favorite Storyswap Charas. Sprinkles @chara-storyswap and SSC Chara @storyswap-color-au
