I've been listening to so much of Marina and The Diamonds and Florence and The Machine that I may have listened to them during writing this xD

Chapter Seven:

Dancing Is For Ladies

Lovino grumbled and rubbed the back of his head, shooting a glare at Elizaveta, who had given Femke and him a slap to the back of their heads for acting like children in a store.

Femke huffed and flattened her shirt and pants, crossing her arms and following beside the tall woman while Lovino trudged behind them.

"Alright, were here~" she smiled and opened the door for them before closing it and walking inside the large dance room, smiling at the bright curtains and paint while Lovino raised a brow. "Pretty, is it not?" Elizaveta smiled brightly as streams of light fluttered through the windows.

Lovino looked around the building and rested his wings on his back to study the colossal. It was a sandy color and had pillars every few feet on the sides and middle. The windows were probably the size of a barn door and had dull red curtains draping over each one, which there were six in total.

The demon glanced around and coughed from some of the dust when he leaned on a curtain drape, "It's old.." he murmured, wiping his tired eyes and looking over at Femke who was grinning like crazy and running around, twirling around in one of the drapes that didn't have any dust on it.

"I can't believe it!" she squealed and slipped out of the curtains before jumping and running over to Lovino, instantly grabbing his hands and jumping around, almost sending the demon to fall on her.

Lovino groaned and shot a half glare at her, yet some of it was mirth. He finally was able to pull his hands from her grasp, but she instantly latched an arm around his shoulder and began pointing at things, "What's so amazing about this place, again?" he looked to his boots, but her hands squished on his cheeks to push him into looking at the sculpture on the wall.

Femke gasped and let go of his face, "This is the ball room!" she spread her arms in the air as if to exaggerate, but Lovino continued to stare in boredom at her, one brow raised. Her grin never faltered, "Were going to actually be dancing in this place in a few weeks~! Lovi! This is a big deal!" she said, shooting a grin at him, "You'll be the first demon to ever step into this ball room~" her smile faltered a little when he still looked bored.

"You mean this dump is the grand ball room that royals and noblemen and blah-blah go to?" he muttered, rubbing his eyes again and blinking a few times at the small smirk on her face.

"Oh, silly Lovi~" she purred and began bouncing in her steps before stopping in front of him, barely leaning up to meet his eyes, causing him to lean an inch away, cheeks flushed. She giggled and pulled back just a little, "You'll get to dance with Antonio!" she practically squealed and rolled on the back of the heels on her boots.

Lovino felt his face burn and he gave a gentle shove to her, crossing him arms and sputtering, "Shut up! I can't even dance with him! If I wanted to." he growled when she began laughing and putting a hand over her mouth to keep her giggles down.

"Oh my, you need to learn a lot about our customs~" Elizaveta smiled and chuckled and calmed Femke's giggling. "Alright, alright, anyway, we need to get to work!" She clapped her hands and moved Femke to where she was standing in front of Lovino and the two were in a dancing position.

"What are we doing?" the boy blinked over at the taller angel and gave a slight smile down at the grinning girl.

"Were teaching you how to dance properly, considering I'm pretty sure demons have different customs than us angels." she smiled and moved the two so they were closer, "Okay, follow my instructions. Femke will take the lead since you're new to this, but when it's real, boys have to move first." Femke grinned brightly and chuckled under her breath.

"Now, you'll start to sway and move, be careful not to step on the person's feet or lean too far away from them, that means you really don't want to be there and it's disrespectful." she pointed to Femke who began to sway and step the left, then to the right, changing the direction and moving them around in somewhat circles.

Lovino nodded and looked at some of the curtains, "It's also disrespectful if you don't look in the partner's eyes." the angel added, making a motion to put his head up and his eyes down to the smaller girl, which he followed and couldn't help but smile.

The angel and the demon continued to dance, until the angels shoe accidentally stepped on Lovino's boot and made her trip forward with a squeak, which took the slightly taller boy in surprise and caused him to fall also. Elizaveta quickly ran over to them and froze at a small, but grimacing crack that echoed through the building along with a gasp of pain.

Elizaveta looked at Femke, who had stood up from half falling on top of him and half falling beside him. She looked over at the brown haired angel and checked her wings, which moved fine and the structure was alright. She turned her eyes down to the boy to find him sat up, biting his knuckles and had his eyes shut tightly.

Quickly, the two girls went to his side, while Femke comforted Lovino, Elizaveta went behind him to inspect the webbed wing. It wasn't broken, luckily, but was twisted at an odd angle from his fall to where the bone cracked a little and would take a few days to heal. Femke tried to get the demon to stop biting on his knuckles when she saw bits of blood starting to form where his teeth and fangs were, but he shot a glare at her and bite down harshly when the woman behind him moved his wing.

"We'll stop training for now.. I'll bring you home and let you heal up." Elizaveta and Femke smiled warmly and helped him up, beginning to walk towards Antonio's house.

When they got there, Femke knocked on the door, sucking on her lower lip and looking away a bit. She was one of Antonio's best friends, but even she knew if someone he cared about got hurt, he could be rather dark.

Three voices drifted from the door and the sound of someone saying "Just a moment" was heard. When the door opened, it was a boy standing in the door way and chuckling at Antonio's squeak when some hot water hit his wrist when he was helping cook. "How can I hel- Lovino?" Dimas blinked up at the demon, who gave a false smile and noticed the boy was staring at his limp wing at his side.

"Who is it, Dimas?" Isabella called from the kitchen where Antonio was grunting in frustration over trying to cook something and having his mother correct him on a lot of things.

"I think Antonio should come over here.." Dimas took a step aside and let the three inside before closing the door and hearing his mother and older brother shuffle towards the entrance. When the two come into the area, they didn't seem to notice Lovino's hurt wing.

Antonio scanned over Lovino, noticing how he winced a few times and shot looks at Elizaveta. He moved his eyes down to find the angels hand under his limp wing, as if keeping it from hitting his body. "What's wrong with his wing?" The angel asked, not sounding as cheerful than earlier. His wings ruffled as a little anger bubbled in him.

"We were teaching him to dance and well... I accidentally tripped over his boots and he fell on his wing." Femke murmured, glancing at Lovino when she heard a quiet chuckle from him.

The emerald eyed angel nodded and ushered him to follow him to the bathroom and took out some bandage when he sat down on a stool he brought, leaving the girls and his brother to talk. He gently, acting as if he as fragile as glass, lifted his wing to wrap the white cloth around it, apologizing softly when he heard him hiss and grunt.

"You alright?" he asked, slowly starting to bandage up the wing, stopping for a few moments when he growled, hissed or bit his knuckles. "Don't bite your knuckles like that.. It's bad for them." Antonio smiled softly, gently and slowly pulling away his hand, which he didn't seem to care.

Lovino looked over at him and let him bandage the hand before he ripped it off the end with his teeth and pressed it down to keep it there. He watched as the angel started to put away everything and sit behind him again.

"Any better?" he muttered softly, rubbing along his shoulder-blade around where the wing started to attach into his muscles.

The demon hummed in delight as he soothed the area, but blushed and huffed a bit. He stretched his one wing, "I guess.. I'm going to bed." he said, yawning lightly into his hand before standing up and making his way to Antonio's bedroom and instantly collapsing on the soft cushion, sighing in peace as he heard the girls talking in the kitchen and hearing footsteps coming close to the room, but was rather too busy sleeping to see Antonio leaning on the door frame with a silly, yet warm smile.

Antonio quietly moved over to the bedside. When he was sure he was sleeping, he leaned over to pressed a gentle kiss to his temple, "Get well soon, Lovi~" he whispered, kissing his forehead and sighing softly. Seeing Lovino shift a little and give a sigh made him silently squeak and quickly go out of the room towards the kitchen for if he did wake up, he wouldn't get caught staring at him while he was sleeping.

Sorry this chapter took so long! I made my new story New Intelligence and I'm writing another paragraph for that too~

Hope you enjoy this chapter anyway!
