The room was warm, the fireplace lit the room in cozy light while soft orchestra music plays in the background. the night has been mostly spent in comfortable silence, after setting a pot of soup on the stove to cook while she practiced she looked over at Misha in a chair reading a book, grabbing her shoes and setting them on the floor to lace them Misha looking up from his book to see his lovely partner tying up her pointe shoes and stretching, "Misha honey come here for a moment?" he got up from his seat and awkwardly stood in front of her he already knows what shes gonna ask "dance with me" she smiles up at him. The question always makes him a bit nervous him being a large man standing at 6'5 makes it rather hard to do something as graceful as ballet but his partner was looking up at him waiting for his reply. With a sigh and a smile he gave in "Ладно." (alright) Misha knew little about ballet, he had seen his sisters get into it a bit but never really pursue and had gone to go see a performance once with them but that's about the extent of his experience with ballet before her. He snapped back into the moment when she took his hands into hers and lead them to her waist, "Put your hands here and I just need you to dip me backwards and spin me like I showed you last time," ah yes, last time she had tried teaching him the 7 movements of ballet to the best of her ability and to her credit he can remember a plier then instantly moved to teaching him how to spin, lift and dip her. He will admit it was a fun experience, he always likes to learn new things. she was moving like a feather, graceful in her movements and he couldn't help but look down at his lover with love and respect knowing at the very least how hard ballet is, how much discipline is required in the art, and couldn't help but feel a sense of pride knowing how strong his partner is. "ready Misha?" she had her eyes closed and leaned into his arms "now dip." leaning back one leg in the air his hand on the small of her back holding her "now up," he lifted her as gracefully as he could while continuing to watch her dance, leaning into him again she gave direction "now a Pirouette" hands still on her waist he spun her and slowly moves one hand up to hers just to give balance as she stops and begins to bend forward on one leg. continuing the dance lifting her from her waist. When the dance was over he lifted her up one last time and kissed her lovingly with a smile, reciprocating the action with a lovesick smile "Thank you for helping me Mikhail, I love you" leaning in to kiss him again, "Всегда пожалуйста" (I'm always here to please) they were both content at the moment in an embrace until she heard a timer go off in the kitchen, eyes going wide at remembering the pot on the stove and smiling, "ah I almost forgot" she grabbed his hand and led him to the table "let's eat" She said with a smile while he looked at her fully content and happy with his lover.
