Peter Maximoff and Jubilee (x men)

Dancing

Jubilee POV

I walk around the mansion searching for Peter. He's so hard to keep track of lately I should put a chip in his neck.
"Hey Jean have you seen Peter?" I ask as Jeana and Scott walk past me.
"I saw him in the workout rooms earlier, he was lifting weights," she says continuing her walk with her boyfriend. I run down to the workout rooms and look around for Peter, no sign of him. I check the basketball room and he's not there either.  As I'm about to walk out I hear soft music playing from one of the dance rooms that has just been installed. Some of the students like to do Sparta or activities to help relive stress that their powers being on. I walk over to one and peer in through the window on the door. I'm met with the sight of a dancing Peter, and all I can do is stare. I quietly open the door, hoping he won't notice me and slip inside the wooden floored room. I run over to the corner and watch him dance to the music and it's breath taking. The way he moves it's like he's apart of the music notes themselves. It's like his soul has left the earth and his body is free to move in a way that can only be described as alluring. The song ends and I'm rendered speechless, he walks over to the speaker and sits down to get a drink of water.
"That was amazing!" I finally say causing to scream a little on surprise, finally noticing my presence.
"God dammit Jubilee how long have you been here?!?" He says getting to lean against the wall.
"Long enough to know that you're an amazing dancer. Why didn't you tell me?!?" I say waking over to lean against the wall next to him.
"It's not something I brag about okay?" He says looking away. "Can you dance?"
"Well yes I can. I did years of gymnastics so I learned how to dance in those years. I was pretty good too," I say proudly.
"Oh yeah? Show me," he says in that Peter type of voice.
"Fine. Give me your phone so I can play a song please,"I say taking his phone to choose a song. I finally pick the violin cover of Yellow, and tell Peter to turn it on once I get to the center of the room. I kick off my shoes and my jacket waking to the center. I get to the center and close my eyes as the song start and let everything go. I start to give in to the music and let my body just flow. I spin in perfect pirouette, and do a sauté jump landing in first position. I feel Peters eyes track my every move, and I do a dancer fall to the ground. I roll onto my back in a very ballet sort of way and get back up to do a leg extension in the air. My soul has left my body and now I'm just free, no strings attached. I spin, leap, fall, land, and just move pouring my emotions and heart in it. The song ends and I open my eyes to see Peter staring at me wide eyed, making me blush intensely.
"What?" I ask as he continues to stare.
"That was beautiful Jubilee. The most beautiful thing I have ever seen in my entire life!" He says coming over to hug me, picking me up and spinning me around. I laugh and enjoy the moment with him.
"I have an idea!" I say excitedly as he puts me down.
"What may that be?" He asks looking confused.
"We should do a duet dance and perform it when the talent show rolls around!" I say happily. The talent show is thing we do every year to showcase the talents we have that aren't from our powers, like singing or dancing or whatever it may be. It's supposed to be a confidence boost, and it is. There's no winner, but it's just really fun to do.
"I don't know Jubilee, I've never danced in front of people before. Are you sure?" He says looking away sheepishly.
"Come on Peter it'll be fun, and we could even do a cheesy love song to go along with it. Pleeeeeeaaaaasssseeee!" I beg snaking my arms around his neck, pouting my lips.
"Fine!" He says rolling his eyes and smirking.
"Yay! I was thinking Can You Hear the Love Tonight from the lion kind maybe?" I suggest smiling widely.
"Sure. Whatever makes you happy," he says pecking my lips with a light kiss causing me the smile even more.
Over the next upcoming weeks me and Peter have come up with some choreography for the song, and in my opinion it's pretty great. We spend most of free time in the dance studio or studying. It takes us 5 weeks to come up with a perfect our choreography, consisting of leaps, turns, spins, waltzing, him catching me, and various other things. The talent show comes along and it's only a day away now. Me and Peter are in the studio practicing for the millionth time and when we finish we are both out of breath.
"I think it's perfect Peter. I think we're gonna nail this!" I say taking a sip of my water and collapsing on the floor, covered in a sheen of sweat.
"I hope so," he says collapsing next to me.
"Hey hey, don't think like that. We are both talented dancers that can bring emotion and love into our dancing. We got this Peter, neither of us are gonna mess up. We can do this with our eyes closed. He nods and I smile at him, taking his hand to walk back up to our rooms.
"I'm gonna shower then take a nap. After you shower why don't you come over to my room and we'll nap together till dinner?" Peter asks once we get to his door. I nod and head into my room looking forward to the cold shower I'm about to get. I turn on the water and soak in the feeling of the ice cold water on my skin. Once I'm done I get changed into leggings and one of Peter's shirts, fuzzy socks and head over to his room so me and him can nap. I open the door to see Peter laying in his bed, eyes half open.
"Hey babe," he says softly.
"Hey darling, you sound tired," I say quietly, crawling under the covers with him.
"Mhmm," he says wrapping an arm around me, pulling me closer against him. My eyes fall closed and I don't wake up until I hear the dinner bell. Me and Peter walk down hand in hand loving the idea of food and than sleep afterwards. After we finish dinner we both head up to my room and fall asleep as soon as we lay on my bed together.
(9 minutes before Peter and Jubilees act)
"What if we mess up? What if I drop you? What i-" Peter starts to say as we wait for our turn on the stage outside.
"Peter we can do this. You can do this, there's nothing to be worried about," I say taking his head in my hands smiling softly at him. He nods and we wait in silence for our number.
"Now, last but certainly not least Jubilee and Peter will be performing a dance number that they choreographed themselves!" Charles announces as we step out into the stage. The song starts to play, and we begin our routine and get lost in the music. We pour our hearts into every step, leap, turn, and catch. The music is part of souls, or our body's are part of the music. The song ends and we both turn towards our fellow students, trying to catch our breath, and everyone starts clapping and look at each other smiling like crazy. We link our hands, and bow walking off stage and joining our friends on the main lawn.
"You two were so amazing!" Jean yells running over hugging us and Scott trailing behind her smiling.
"Thanks!" We both say in unison laughing. For the rest of the night the whole gang just talks and laughs about life and forgets the stress and anxiety that their powers bring them. Kurt, Scott, Jean, Ororo, Peter, and Jubilee sat in the main room, laughing snacking, snuggling and enjoying time and company for what it's worth. They all try to forget their troubles, try to drown them in laughter and smiles. They all knew that their life would never be easy, never be normal but they could try. They could try to have normal romantic relationships, normal talents like dancing, normal preferences like chocolate over vanilla. They could all try to forget, or forgive. Especially Jubilee and Peter who had each other to drown in, they all had love to drown in. The question was when will they stop trying to drown and learn to breath the polluted air like everyone else?
