[ with parents as proper as his and Hazel's, it shouldn't have been a surprise to anyone that they were put through the motions of a diverse education. dance lessons? of course. music tutoring? absolutely. so while it's easy enough for him to place his hand in Percy's, Nico has the knowledge ahead of time that he is absolutely miserable at dance.

so for as much as he commented on the lame shuffle between people before, he may not be any good at doing anything much outside of his own version of that. still, the idea of dancing with Percy -- as awful as Nico may be at it -- is one that he's more than willing to indulge.

Nico steps just a touch closer so he'll be able to fall into step with him, resting his free hand on Percy's shoulder. ]

Fair warning that I'm horrible at this.

That's okay, so am I. [ he shrugs under Nico's hand and puts an end to it. he's not any better. he's already trying to count in his head and figure out the music to match with his steps when he takes the first one and tries not to look up at the ceiling to make it obvious that he's focusing really hard. all that practice in the mirror and with another friend and he's still probably going to mess this up by bumping into another couple or stomping on Nico's foot. ] You can't be perfect at everything.

[ it takes a few tries before he's able to fall in step with Percy. at first he steps wrong, narrowly misses Percy's foot, then tries to move in the opposite direction -- it's a right mess at first. but he focuses on Percy instead, rather than where his feet are going, watches as he is (pretty obviously) mentally counting out the steps. it's endearing and sweet and his heart beats just a little faster. ] I can try to be.
