.::Hey, look over here!::.

"Hey, Rue-san! Look over here!"

She turned slightly at the sound of her name. "What is it?"

"It's Mytho, he's dancing with Fakir. Isn't that a bit odd for rehearsal?" her friend answers. Rue's hands leave the task of tying her ballet shoes, and she looks up.

There, Mytho stands in his white shirt and blue tights, waiting for Fakir to play the music. Silence passes through the rehearsal room like a wave, and Rue waits with bated breath.

Then the music starts. At first, Mytho is unmoving, and Fakir dances around him. A few girls let out soft sighs at the sight, but the room is still silent. They are waiting for the Prince to start. Rue gazes at Mytho, taking the moment of silence to observe how the afternoon sunlight washes over his snowy hair, now tinted with gold. Matching gold eyes sparkle, tricking Rue for a moment into thinking that Mytho could now be feeling something - anything - as he gazed at the crowd, waiting.

And then he starts. Long arms raise themselves up until the fingertips touch, and feet arch onto their toes. Slender legs gracefully glide through the air, intertwining with Fakir's black-clad ones. Mytho spins, and Fakir once again dances around him.

Mytho is the center, the prince, and everyone else simply surrounds him, even his loyal knight, and even herself, his girlfriend.

Soon, the dance is over. Neko-sensei dismisses his students, and everyone goes back to their normal lives. The girls and boys separate to change into their clothes, and friendly chatter echoes throughout the room.

Rue exits the changing room and steps into the hallway. Her eyes instinctively move to meet Mytho, and soon her feet follow.

"What a beautiful dance, Mytho," she whispers to him, fingers entangling themselves in his fine hairs.

"Yes," he answers, voice void and distant.

Rue leans up and brushes her lips across his skin. "Mytho, do you like me?" she asks.

"Yes, I like you," he repeats, not even blinking as Rue's lips trail down to his. She gently presses her mouth to his, jaw moving to coax him further. She slides her finger down Mytho's face and lightly nibbles his bottom lip, waiting for a reaction. Of course, there is none. But that's okay.

For now, this is all she needs.

Okay, just as a sidenote: All oneshots in this series will have a variety of scenarios: Some include Mytho before his heart was restored, like this one, some may include Mytho and Rue after the series in their kingdom, and some may include Mytho after his heart is restored, but still at the school. Maybe they returned or something :P. I dunno, I love school romance.
