The Next Step Oneshots

Drawn

Richelle can't help but feel a little left out. All she seems to see are couples. Everywhere. And now, you were excluded if you weren't in one? Offensive to the singles much. She watches Kingston tap lightly on Lily's nose. She rolls her eyes.
"Sickly." She turns to the voice. He smiles. Her lips curl upward in response.
"Hey, Oz."
"Richelle," He salutes and she finds herself laughing.
"You know, A-troupe has been a lot less about dance and a lot more about love lately."
"Yep." He sighs, "But there's only one feeling that tops dancing, right? The feeling of falling in love. The feeling of unexplainably being drawn to another person."
She tuts over how dramatic he is, but he does make love sound sort of…magical. She feels an unexpected pang of jealousy towards the couples. She wanted a slice of that.
"Hey," She looks at him. He looks so animated next to her and that makes her next decision easy, "Why don't you and I date? Not for real, as sort of friends. Just to, you know, join in?" She shakes her head. " Yeah, that sounds crazy out loud."
"I like crazy."

Ahh, don't tell me they were resolved in season 6. I still low-key ship them. 😢💗
