Save the Last Dance For Me

Summary: you and Dick have been dating in secret, until at a party he’s forced by circumstances (coff George Luz coff) to set things straight

Notes: fluff, jealousy

Word count: 1068

“I don't believe you actually have a boyfriend. You were saying that just to throw me off” The brown-eyed soldier insisted in a mocking way.

I smiled to myself and glanced furtively behind me, more or less where I knew the man I was secretely dating must have been.

“Oh you better believe it, George” I crossed my arms and leaned against the wall, looking at him quite amused.

“Then who is it? Why is it such a secret?” He asked rolling his eyes.

“I'm really not sure you want to know” I smirked, and that was certainly no lie.

“Alright, alright” he raised his arms in surrender. “Tell you what, let's make a deal: I stop asking about this mysterious guy if you agree to dance with me.” The tone was hopeful: “Just one song” He specified, noticing my raised eyebrow.

I didn't see anything wrong with giving him one dance, so I agreed: “Okay, but I don't want to hear another word about it.” I warned him.

He flashed a toothy smile and offered me his hand, in such a funny and theatrical way that it made me burst out laughing. "You're an idiot"

“I know” He winked.

We began to move to the center of the wide room, where other couples were already dancing. He wasn't exactly a talented dancer and kept tripping over my feet, making us both laugh.

About a minute and a half into the song, we managed to find a slightly more synchronized rhythm. I looked up at his face and little by little his usual playful smile had disappeared, his eyes instead fixed on me with an unusually serious and intense look that left little room for misunderstandings.

Uh oh, I thought. This wasn’t good news. I had been too naive to think that accepting to dance with him wouldn’t send involuntary mixed signals.

“George…” I said, instinctively moving away to leave more space between our bodies.

The song we were dancing to came to an end just then. “One more song?” He half pleaded, his expression so hopeful that it broke my heart a little. I didn’t want to be the one to do this to him.

I looked at him gently. “I'm sorry, I can't” I started to take a step back, but he didn't let go of my left hand, still intertwined with his, almost as if he was struggling and fighting the urge to draw me back to him.

“George” I repeated, voice calm but with a hint of warning.

Before I could do or say anything else, I felt a slight shift of air and then a hand coming to rest lightly on my side. I didn't need to look to know who it belonged to.

George’s eyes widened and he immediately let go of my hand. “Major Winters!” He almost stood at attention. “I-I didn't see you there”

I finally allowed myself to shift my attention to Dick. His gaze was firmly fixated on George and he was barely blinking. I saw no trace of anger or irritation in it (though I knew he was quite good at disguising those), but a clear determination that spoke much louder than words.

“No need for formalities, private, this is a party. I trust that you're having fun?” His tone was calm and polite as usual, but for once almost unnaturally so. As a consequence, it came across as slightly menacing.

George must have sensed the trap, because he soon started babbling: “Yes, sir! I mean…a normal, regular amount of fun. Nothing special going on here. Just one dance” He really stressed the word one.

“I'm glad to hear that” Dick smiled, at last turning his attention towards me. “Because I was really looking forward to this next one. Can I have the honor, miss?”

My heart skipped a beat at that. Jealousy was a new but certainly rather good look on him.

“Of course you can, major” I decided to play along even though it was pretty clear, what he was doing.

When I looked to the side, George had already vanished into thin air. I gave a small chuckle. “You didn't need to terrorize him like that”

“I did no such thing” he said with a smirk, quickly intertwining our fingers, while his other hand was still firmly resting on my right side. The band began playing a slower tempo, romantic song and I gladly let him lead me into the music. He was a pretty good dancer. Then again, I was yet to find anything he couldn’t do well.

Both of my eyebrows shot up. “Are you sure? What happened to keeping secrecy above all?” I teased him.

“Well, it felt like the situation required that I come clean.” He whispered very close to my ear. “Besides, you didn't seem to mind all that much”

I felt a warm rush of adrenaline going through my body, and hoped I wasn't blushing outwardly as I was on the inside.

I recognized it as the effect only he had on me. Being in his arms felt so natural and right, it left no space for doubt in regards to my feelings for this man, and his for me. And I really didn't mind one bit.

“Who are you and what have you done to Dick Winters” I shook my head in disbelief, laughing.

“Does that mean that I should stop?” He inquired.

Without interrupting our slow swaying back and forth to the rhytmn, I placed both of my hands around his neck, bringing him closer, allowing myself to stare straight into his eyes. “Don't you dare”

I saw a brief flash of hesitation passing through those blue eyes, like an implicit request for permission, and I nodded, smiling.

“I've been waiting to do this all night” He gently cupped my face in his hands and kissed me, slowly but ardently, in front of everyone.

I could hear a few gasps and cheers in the background over the sound of the music playing, but when we turned around everybody had gone back to the party acting as if nothing happened.

“You know, major, your men will definitely talk after this” I jokingly protested.

I could feel his smile on my lips as he kissed me again: “Let them”

Hey! I’m a big fan of your work.

Do you think any of the Harrington girls ever try out dna testing kits? Either to find relatives or just know heritage/potential heath issues. Could be an emotional minefield tbh.

oooh i LOVE this question

short answer is: yes, the girls definitely do dna kits (as should all adoptees but that’s just my opinion, i suppose)

the longer answer is that the girls decide (without any input from their dads, who didn’t even know about this discussion) to wait until all three of them are 18 so that all three of them can get their results at the same time.

steve is perfectly fine with them waiting, not because he has anything against his kids learning about their heritage, but because he’s very much anti-companies collecting/storing his personal info. He won’t join facebook, refuses to get an alexa (he even has siri disabled on his phone), and definitely doesn’t love the idea of a corporation having his dna, so he kind of needed the time to get past the alarm bells going off in his head about his daughters’ safety in that regard.

he does get past it though, and steve and eddie buy the kits as an 18th birthday gift to hazel in september of 2024. eight weeks later, they get the results.

the ancestry composition is interesting, of course, and steve and eddie get at least some relief from the health profiles because that had always been a total mystery to them.

the girls end up learning that they really don't have much extended family on their mom’s side, which isn’t really a surprise — that’s how moe ended up in foster care to begin with — but it still is disappointing given that their mom died when they were little and they all had questions about her that they hoped could get answered someday.

the big surprise is that moe has a different bio-dad from robbie and hazel, which…does not go over well, understandably.

on the whole, it's not exactly a joyous experience, per se, but it never was going to be. kids don't enter the foster system for no reason, and parental rights don’t get terminated for shits and giggles. steve and eddie saw it as their responsibility to be as upfront about the circumstances of their daughters’ adoption as they were allowed to be (and as was age-appropriate), so the girls were prepared for the results being, at a minimum, complicated.

still, the Harrington family vibes are off for a while after they get the results.

#they adjust and end up alright in the end #a couple months later moe texts robbie: i saw something in your results we didn’t notice before #moe: it says you’re 100% a loser #uhhh to be clear most adoptive parents do not handle these topics (and adoption in general) nearly as well #we’re being idealistic here #steddie #liv’s steddie dads verse #steddie dads #steve harrington #eddie munson

no seriously … let’s unpack the hatred y’all have with the black anime community

#now the downfall we bring upon ourselves alright we get that #but y’all seriously treat us like we’re the bottom of the barrel #the racist jokes ? #the flagging of our post ? #the literal copying word for word out works ? #damn what we do to y’all ? #— hot takes !

being aroace is like telling people that you’re gay but nonpracticing

Alright then. which feels a little demeaning if we’re being honest but #what can you do #greatest hits

or funnier: maybe lucifer does apologize (poorly) to sam and castiel (this does not help anyone) (they do not want it) (he’s so proud of himself for making strides in his Redemption) but he doesn’t even talk to dean. and dean (<- problems man) brings it up resentfully, probably in front of cas and sam, and lucifer goes ‘:/ what did i even do to u, man. beat u up? that’s just ur day job, deal with it.’ and dean has to figure out how to articulate that actually, lucifer possessing sam or cas was a crime against dean and he deserves something for that, without sounding like he’s insane.

no, actually, thought about it for a minute. he would just say that outright without considering that it’s a wild thing to claim. and he’d then turn to the two of them like they’ll back him up about this. and you know what? they probably would. <3 what is wrong with this family. he’s still not getting even an apology from lucifer.

#the apologies are the most useless thing in the world they mean nothing. dean is just mad he was being ignored #and because lucifer is only doing this because he’s head over heels for mary and wants her to like him. #dean’s mommy issues have turned on and decided this is proof his mom doesn’t love him actually. #because her devil not-boyfriend isn’t begging for his forgiveness (note: he did not do that for sam or cas either. he just said ‘damn. sorry #i fucked u up. alright we’re good now.’ and left. because he is terrible.) #(dean voice) sam tell the devil how him possessing you hurt me. hurry up we don’t have all day.

I can’t help but think about giggling w Jack during sex. Like your skin is slapping against his, you’re both covered in a sheen of sweat, skin rubbing against one another, and one firm rub erupts a sound similar to a fart. And y’all can’t help but pause and and let out a bubble of laughter; deep from your chest as the two of you laugh uncontrollably

#and Jack would be like you fartin on me now? is this what we’re doing? alright pretty kinky #and then he’d try and dutch oven you and you’re like WE ARE FUCKING AND I DIDNT EVEN FART but he’d be too childishly excited to switchgear #but also he’d try to move on and continue fucking but he’d laugh every few seconds thinking about it

I don’t think I’ve said it on here before but why didn’t ice dance teams immediately jump to use 80’s movie soundtracks instead of terribly editing the same 5 songs for the rhythm dance.

#you know I originally thought nothing would be worse than the fake Latin last season #and these people continue to horrifically surprise me cause I’m sooooo disappointed with like 90% of the music choices this season #maybe it’s the cinephile in me speaking but a movie soundtrack would be SO simple to choreograph to #instead we’re getting mismatches of songs #GLEE COVERS #besides the lack of movie soundtrack music in general the 80s is an entire decade of music #why are there so many song repeats among teams #we need to dead the fun themes go back to the classic ballroom ones #because clearly we can’t trust these people to do anything right 😭 #rhythm dance #ice dance #figure skating #you’re telling me you only know like ten 80s songs alright!
