Grian's POV:

Grian got chills down his neck, as if someone was watching him. He had folded his wings against his back and spun around to face this person. There stood a tall man, a good 6'4 if you asked Grian. His face was sharp and his nose was cut by a scar. He'd mistake this man for an intruder if Aurora hadn't cleared her throat and introduced him.

"Grian, this is my brother, Scar." Aurora stated before turning to her brother and speaking, "Scar, this is my instructor Grian.”

As if regaining his composure, The ‘Scar’ man grinned widely -Were his cheeks kinda pink? Probably just Grian’s imagination- and stuck out his hand

“Nice to meet you, Grian!”

“Nice to meet you too, Scar.”

Aurora smirked. She ran over to Ariana and whispered something in her ear, causing her to glance over and then both of them collapsing into a fit of giggles. Huh? What’s that about? Eh, he’ll figure it out later.

Scar seemed to stare at Grian, kinda in a trance. If Grian was any smarter he'd know that he seemed out of it. Maybe the man just had a big head and thought a lot. Grian hadn't cared right now either way. He had to get the rest of the kids to their parents or guardians.

“Well, uh, Scar- I have to get back to my job. Cub has my phone number if you have any questions.” Grian stated, not knowing that Scar would take that a different way.

TIME SKIP 3 HOURS LATER

If Grian had to explain his day, he'd explain it as a fish dying in the sand. Why? He had no idea. It just wasn't normal. He went to work, the first thing he hears is that Ariana got in trouble– which was normal. The part that wasn't normal was this scarred man, coincidentally named Scar. He was the typical “oh save me” prince type almost. His words fit right in his mouth, like a poet. God did he hate those types of people.

Although…Scar is somehow different? Grian didn't feel hatred towards Scar.. Maybe because his sister was such a good student. Bias and all. Which is what Grian was trying to convince himself.

Grian was currently sitting on his couch, drinking his favorite tea. Herbal tea was most definitely the best tea. Tastes like a sweet morning with a bit of dew. It was nice and warm compared to the harsh snowy world outside. London was an amazing place, it was close to home and similar. Everyone was nice, although he didn't like people too much.

Oh, nevermind that, he's run out of tea. He'd get up and put his phone on the table before getting up and heading to the kitchen. It was cozy and livable, not too big-the apartment and the kitchen. Grian headed to the sink to clean his mug before his phone started to ring. 

There were only three things this could be.. his mom, his siblings or a parent calling and informing him that their kid wouldn't be in class. And if he really wanted to be wrong, maybe even X. Actually, there was only one real way to figure it out, since all those phone numbers weren't in his contacts. 

“Hello?” 

“Oh! Uh- this is awkward.. Is this Grian?” the person on the other side asked.

“Maybe.. who is this?” Grian asked through the phone.

“This is Scar! You know.. Aurora’s bigger brother?” Scar said.

Grian realized that he was talking to Scar.. the guy with a scar slashed through his nose. The guy the Grian really can't stop thinking about because he's.. unique.. uniquely weird.

“Hello..?” Scar said from the other side.

Oh.. he must've blanked out.

“Hey! Sorry- Yeah this is Grian. Why ‘d you call?” Grian said as he put the phone on speaker and headed to the kitchen. There was complete silence after Grian questioned Scar. Did this man not have a reason to call?

“Can't a man call his sister's teacher to make sure he's doing okay? I mean, teacher's work hard and you could be stressed out-” Scar rambled before Grian started to cut him off with..

“Scar, we barely know each other for you to be checking up on me and worrying.” Grian simply stated.

“We've known each other for a few hours-”

“We introduced ourselves for a couple of seconds before I had to get back to work.” Grian was thinking logically instead of optimistically, compared to Scar.

“I'm also picking up my sister from now on.” Scar said, joy underlined in every word he used in that sentence.

Grian didn't feel opposed to seeing Scar everyday or so. I mean he hated the other parents with all their stupid gossip and politics, with everything all about them. He sat and listened to the other parents, while with Scar he didn't know what to expect. To Grian, Scar seemed like the type of guy that WILL sit you down and talk with you for hours about Disney and Star Wars, and Grian’s fine with that. Might enjoy it, even.

Grian chuckled. “Sure, big guy. Good for you. Well, to answer your questions, I’m doing well, not really feelin’ the stress too much right now. And you, I speak from experience when I say big brothers work hard too. Are you doing well? Any stress on your end?”

Scar's POV:

As soon as Grian asked how he was doing, Scar felt a hot flush creep across his cheeks.

“M-me?”

“Yeah, you. Are you okay?” Grian’s smooth, beautiful voice rang out from the other end.

Looking up from cutting the vegetables, Cub smirked and mouthed ‘Lovesick’ to Aurora, and Aurora, who was helping him, also smirked and vocalized “Oooooo!”

Scar moved the phone a little away from himself and hissed at both of the others to shut up. They were making nothing better as he got embarrassed by both of them. He took a deep breath before putting that mask of confidence back up and swindling a few words. Although it had barely calmed his heart.

“I-I'm doing fine, thank you.”

“Hmm, you sure? You don’t sound too good…”

“O-oh, you don’t have to worry about silly old me! I’m great!”

“Well, whatever you say. Anyway, it’s now time for me to go on my own big brother duties to prevent my siblings from exploding…”

Scar found himself bursting into laughter. To his delight, he heard Grian join him from the other side.

“O-oh man. Are they chaotic?”

“Extremely. Pearl and Jimmy might have set the world on fire with Ariana by now if I wasn’t there. But, to be honest, I would have joined them if our older cousins Martyn and Lizzie weren’t there to reel me in too!”

And they both cracked up again. God, Scar loved hearing Grian laugh. It was beautiful, and a nice change from the stoic man he’d met earlier.

“Isn’t Pearl also a teacher at the academy?”

“Yeah, she’s quite the teacher in fact, however still chaotic, she doesn’t teach ballet like the rest of us, instead teaching weapons dancing.”

“Weapons dancing? That’s so cool! But isn’t that also a bit dangerous?”

“Oh, it is. You should have seen how much she used to get hurt when she started out. But she’s a professional now, and an amazing one, at that.”

“That’s amazing.”

“Well, I really do have to go now. Lovely talking to you, Scar.”

“You too! Goodbye!”

Scar put the phone down, positively glowing. Aurora and Cub walked over, dinner must be ready!

“So,” Aurora began, “How did you manage to make a boyfriend out of my instructor so quickly?”

All thoughts of dinner flew out the window, as Scar became extremely flustered.

“AURORA! H-he’s not my boyfriend!”

“But you want him to be, don’t you?”

“N-no! We’re just friends, and that’s what it’s gonna be! Yep, juuust friends!”

“Oh, stop being in denial Scar, you totally have a crush on Grian” Cub joined in, with a knowing grin plastered on his face.

“I DO NOT! BOTH OF YOU, SHUT UP!!!”

And both Cub and Aurora pointedly stared at him.

“O-okay, maybe a little…”

“FINALLY!”

A/N: ITS KINDA SHORT BUT YOU TALK LIKE I CARE ONCE AGAIN EPIC CO-WRITER IS @desertduofan AO3 VERSION WILL COME OUT ON THEIR ACCOUNT AND EPIC AU CREATOR IT @imhereforthecomics OK BYEEE

[imhereforthecomics]

@skydoesthings @desertduofan

Yo did we all forget the ballet au exists orrrrr-

[desertduofan]

I just woke up- We were doing chapters? Whoops. I need more sleep. I'm going back to bed man.

Quick question

If you see Grian as like an avian of some kind, what bird do you feel he is??? Cos I see loads of parrot grian and I love him, but like I wanna know some other headcannons of birds

(I might borrow them if that’s alright)

[peridotglimmer]

1, 14, 19 for the end of year asks :D

Jan 2nd still counts as answering on time right?

1. Favourite fic you wrote this year.

Probably Suite Night! Two soft idiots (the idiots in question being Hermitcraft's Cleo & False) in love, just barely willing to admit that out loud. And there was only one bed! A brilliant prompt by @abschaumno1 that was a joy to write.

14. A fic you didn't expect to write.

I already picked Transition #1 when answering @myth-blossom , so I'll choose a different fic now.

rapture / evil inside of me / is on the rise is my pick this time! Cuppa J.O.E. (Jealousy and Obsession Exchange) was my first fic exchange in years, and my first Ao3 fic exchange. I accidentally offered Scarian as a ship, I hadn't meant to select it, but when I got matched on it, I decided to take it on anyway. I actually had to watch the right season to be able to write it, I only ever watched Cleo's point of view, never Grian's or Scar's. I don't think I'll ever be a Scarian shipper, but it was really fun to write toxic, jealous, obsessive Scarian with Grian as the very unreliable narrator. I had fun! (Even if my recipient never interacted with the work. 🤷🏼‍♀️)

19. Any new fics to start next year.

@cicaklah 's amazing Yuletide gift to me, pas de deux might finally make me write that Hitman ballet AU I've been talking about, instead of just daydreaming about it (and compiling a youtube inspiration playlist for it).

Other than that, Deaf!Diana is a WIP I hope to finish sometime this year, and Hermitcraft season 10 will be starting in the near future, so I'm sure that'll bring about loads of inspiration.

Also let's be honest here, I'm sure my brain will find more blorbos to latch on to. It always does. ❤️

[mariaaagoesblank]

ur tags made me cry lol thank u. Everything u said is so true. I was a theatre kid and i love dancin!! thats why i wrote it, bc i couldnt stop thinking abt how intimate and fun and meaningful dancing can be, and in my mind Scar and Grian are constantly in a little dance of their own, their relationship is a dance; awkward, stumbling turning into a firm trust, maybe still clumsy as they figure it out, but they can follow each others steps just as quickly as they come. Someday im gonna write a whole pretentious fic about that concept lol, but for now im just glad u liked it enough to ramble in the tags, thanks man that made my night!! ;~; <3

the day you write that fic, please tag me or dm me or just somehow tell me that its out (even if i already check the desert duo and scarian tags daily) because i will read that and latch onto for the next 10 years of my life, hun

[help i ended up rambling even more and like: none of it is even related to scarian]

"scar and grian are in a little dance of their own" i think!! everyone is!! but with them its just so vibrant!! i think you could define any relationship with some style of dance but also, scarian on the brain yknow, theyre just so like: youre right, youre right actually about "awkward stumbling turning into firm but still clumsy trust" youre just so right about scarian all the time ♡♡♡♡

"they can follow each others steps as quickly as they come" i think, one of the best experiences ive had about dance is when like, one of my closest friends just decided to join me. i was trying to teach her the choreography that she missed but like, eventually she just started improvising but not to copy me, but to do like, a kind of partner dance. her improv was so good and then we decided to just. dance. randomly. but together. dancing with someone is exhilarating, makes that whole movement feel completed. there's a connection there, in this rush of touch and sound and joy. it's freeing and just, a Moment, yeah?

there's also this stunt we do in groups, but the main part is between well me and her. basically doing a semi-cartwheel across a person's back if that makes sense. they crouch, plie position (not the ballet kind) and you like, kind-of-cartwheel across their back. and i'm jsut like,,, thinking of scarian. oh no, wait, wait, op, op, please. op don't give me a scarian dancer au don't- OP IM HAVING,,, ISSUES !! hhhHHHH

SCARIAN BALLET AU - CHAPTER 1

A/N: Hoooooly shit! It's finally done! Me and @desertduofan have been working hard on this amazing au created by @imhereforthecomics, and we actually managed to get it done by their birthday! (happy birthday :D) Anyway, you can also read it on AO3, my AMAZING co-writer will be posting it there, and now, on with the story!

-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-

Aurora’s POV:

        The Academy of Graceful Dancing. Where the most talented dancers graduated from, no matter the hybrid or gender of someone. Aurora stood in the front of the school, looking up at the sign that read "𝒜𝒸𝒶𝒹ℯ𝓂𝓎 ℴ𝒻 𝒢𝓇𝒶𝒸𝒻𝓊𝓁 𝒟𝒶𝓃𝒸𝒾𝓃𝓰". After a few silent seconds of staring at the sign, she took a deep breath and walked inside. This was just a normal day, like the rest.

        She walked into the Grand Hall, the massive lobby belonging to this academy. Chandeliers hung precariously on the ceiling, swaying with the air conditioning. The red carpet running down the middle of the room, up the stairs made this look so unreal the first time anyone saw it. Some could mistake this as a ballroom. The students here could never. It’s actually quite a beautiful place.

        With a start, she realized the time. Shoot, there were only two minutes left till class started! She had to stop admiring the entrance and hurry, if X sir catches her…let’s just say she’ll be in trouble. A lot of trouble. She sprinted across the hallways, and stopped halfway. She’s a vex! She can fly! What is she doing?!?!? She opened her wings and flew. She was a vex, so her wings were tattered, but with determination, stupidity and help from her brother’s friend Cub, she figured out how to fly. It was slow, but it was something. Anyway, she was getting distracted. Again. Seriously, she has got to stop doing that!

        With thirty seconds to spare, she made it to class, and sat next to her best friend Ariana, who was checking how she looked in the mirror. Aurora rolled her eyes. Typical. But she couldn’t help but stop and marvel a little whenever she saw her. Ariana’s full name was Ariana Griande. She wouldn’t be surprised if you recognized her name. She was an international popstar, just at the age of 14! But she was never really on a high horse, instead was always laughing and joking with everyone else like she was a normal girl. Anyway, Aurora was getting distracted AGAIN! Ugh, it’s infuriating. 

        Ariana put away her mirror and finally noticed her. “Oh, Aurora, when did you show up? You were pretty late. If X sir caught you…” They both shivered, and then started giggling. Well, they were, until they heard a strict cough from above them. “Ahem…”

        Both of them slowly looked up, and then they saw him. The green and purple antennae. The translucent purple bug wings. The sharp blue eyes, that held a kind of strictness, but also a paternal gaze, which were burning a hole into their souls. Yep. That was their strict father of a headmaster, Xisuma.

        “And what was so funny that you had to disrupt the flow of roll call, young ladies?” X sir said, raising an eyebrow. Aurora gulped. 

        Ariana’s owl wings fluttered slightly, but then she put on the popstar smile, which is always fake but no one realizes. “Oh, nothing really sir! Aurora here…just told me a joke! Yep!” She lied, smiling brighter. 

        X sir’s eyebrow rose up even further. “And what was this ‘joke’, may I ask?” He questioned. Aurora gulped again. 

       “Oh, I’m sure she’ll tell you, won’t you Aurora?” She said, elbowing her. Aurora jumped, rubbed the side of her stomach, glared daggers at Ariana, thought hard about the funniest joke she knew, and said the first thing that popped into her head. 

       “Um…why did the cow cross the road?” She stammered out. “I don’t know, why?” X sir said. “To get to the udder side!” Aurora said, a little more confidently. 

Silence. 

You could hear the crickets chirping. 

        Then Ariana’s forced laughter rang through the silent room. “Oh, Aurora! That was hilarious! She’s a comedic genius, I tell you!” She said, pretending to wipe a tear of laughter from her eye. 

       X sir did not look amused, glaring at the two before sighing. "I'm letting you off with a warning." X sir stated before continuing the role call. 

        Ariana dramatically sighed with relief, quietly so they wouldn't get in trouble again. "We almost got our butts kicked out!" Ariana whispered. "You're telling me." Aurora said, staying quiet like Ariana. The rest of the role was called, not another word from anyone. 

        Everyone scattered off to their respective teacher. Aurora and Ariana had an instructor that went by the name of Grian. Grian, the person in question, was an average height male. He had light brown hair that complimented his black eyes. The freckles along his face fit perfectly in the picture, scattered like stars in the sky. Of course, he was the winged instructor, unmistakably brown owl wings. That was the whole reason he was their instructor! 

        Aurora knew this man as kind and chaotic. A good balance. Like how X sir was strict but parental. Although, another way Aurora knew him was as Ariana's cousin. But that didn't seem to stop Grian from treating her like the rest. Which was fair.

        Once everyone had arrived and was encountered, they followed the leader to one of the dance rooms. Each instructor had their own room to decorate. Grian's was decorated with beautiful red birds and a bit of greenery to make the place pop. The instructor, whose name was Mumbo, decorated his room with bits and bobs he made himself. Mr.Dubs, he was a funny man, had a clock and a bit of little drawings that belonged to fantasy. So like castles and such. Ms. Pearl, she was a little different. While all their sirs were ballet teachers, she was the teacher for weapons dancing. Her room decor was a blueish-gray wallpaper with a bunch of little drawings of different weapons. Every single room was noise absorbent as well, so echo didn't exist in them, and you definitely couldn't hear anything outside. It was great for concentration, something Aurora lacked. Which is when Ariana interrupted her distracted state.

        "I found this new make-up palette and it's so cool- Hey are you ignoring me?!" Ariana said as she poked at Aurora, who was on autopilot before.

        "No- Sorry! Just thinking about a few things. What were you talking about?" Aurora apologized.

        "Just this amazing make-up palette I was hoping to use next time I do a concert!" Ariana stated before rambling on. Something Aurora could deal with because her brother at home did the same.

        Once they arrived in the room, everyone started their stretches. They had to stretch carefully, stretching out every muscle. Why couldn't this be a faster process? Aurora had sighed, stretching downwards. Everyone here was flexible, if you weren't there were classes you had to take first to become flexible. Being a ballerina was a very dangerous path. Ugh, was she seriously getting distracted again?!? 

        She finished her stretches as quickly as she could. Finishing around the same time Ariana did. "What do you think we're going to do today? Maybe Grian will let us do something cool this time!" Aurora said, hopeful.

        "Doubtful, he'll probably just make us do more 'tOe stAnds'." Ariana said like she was mimicking their instructor. Who, unluckily, had overhead them and now was walking towards them. Aurora could easily take a step back, leaving Ariana to get the blunt end of it, but she'd rather stand next to her best friend. 

       "I'd like to remind you guys that you did get a warning from X. So, with that in mind, what did you say about the toe stands?" Grian said with a challenging tone. Aurora could swear it was only directed to Ariana. 

        "Nothing, sir." Aurora spoke up as no one answered. Grian responded by placing a hand on their shoulder.

        "That's okay girls," Grian switched from looking at them to addressing the whole class, "we'll be doing more toe stands. But, I want you guys to understand…" and Grian went on to explain. Lectures did not interest Aurora one bit so she pulled Ariana to their corner and started the practice.

Grian's POV:

        Well. Another day, another ballet class to teach, another Ariana to deal with. Grian remembered the day Ariana joined. He saw her, and he dropped to his knees, puffed up his wings and screamed ‘NO’ at the top of his lungs. Everyone had looked at him weird. He didn’t care. However, she, and the rest of the class for that matter, were a very promising bunch of kids indeed, all well on their way to becoming ballet stars.

        He looked around the classroom, taking a second to appreciate the greenery before getting his head into the game. He went around, fixing up the kids who weren't doing anything correctly. Of course Ariana and Aurora already had it down because they seemed to pick up things quickly. But that doesn't mean there isn't room for improvement. "We're all doing great, I think in a few minutes we can move on to the next step." Grian stated, with a bit of pride in his voice. Because he was proud of them for learning this, proud that they've stayed this long.

        He swore he could hear a few murmurs of excitement, which was great. He shivered for a second, being reminded that he was wearing his work outfit. How he missed his red sweater, the warmth and coziness of it. His pants, that were just the perfect bagginess to not stick against his legs like how these tights were. It was uncomfortable to say the least. But, it was his work outfit, keeping in regulation with what X had put the dress code as.

        Grian started to go through five positions, scrambling up some of the numbers to catch a few people off. "Don't anticipate the move." he stated out of pure experience. These positions were only the beginner ones luckily, so no one seemed to mess up too bad. Although, he did promise they'd be doing something different. So, something different they would be doing. 

        "Rest. Alright. Like I promised l, we'll be practicing something new. Although this will take multiple days to learn for a few of you." the instructor said, shooting a glare at Ariana. "This move is called 'Assemblé'. You'll be lifting off the ground with one of your legs, for practice it's whichever one is stronger. You should land on both your legs before returning to the fifth position. Understood?" Grian stated and then asked. 

        They did not, which is when someone brought the topic up of what they were supposed to do with their wings. Which Grian would respond with a face palm and a disappointed sigh. More so disappointed in himself. "Sorry guys. You should extend your wings slightly, you shouldn't hit the wall or the barre." he explained, extending his wings outward just slightly. "Here, I'll give you guys an example."

        With that, Grian would go to the barre and fold his wings to his back to start. He started in position one, moving to position two then three, before lifting himself off the floor using his right leg. The avian hybrid extended his wings slightly, not hitting the wall or anything with them and in a couple of seconds landing on both his feet, snapping to the fifth position. He wasn't going to lie, his anxiety was high there. If he messed one thing up while these kids were watching him it would've been laughs and disappointment. At least it wasn't as bad as it was when he was a teenager, especially since he could throw one of these children right out the window- No no no. You'd get the Academy sued, Grian.

        Grian would turn over to the rest of the class and smile at them to instill confidence in them. “Did that help you understand what to do?” He softly said, his anxiety slowly wearing off. 

         He saw Ariana frowning. Shit. He forgot she can tell when stuff like that happened. He’s gonna get interrogated later. But he couldn't focus on that too much, needing to get these idiots started. 

         A little while later, everyone had started doing their assemblés. They were all improving really fast! However, looking over, he saw that Ariana and Aurora had basically mastered the pose already. Of course they had. They were the two that grasped new concepts the fastest, after all.

TIMESKIP 2 HOURS LATER

Scar’s POV:

        Scar planned on getting to this place early. Yet now he was stuck in traffic. Luckily he left early enough to be there just on time if this traffic hurried up. It felt like New York traffic, just in London. It was absolutely horrible. 

        Although the cars weren't noise polluting. Usually road rage would get someone, but there was barely anything. And to add onto that the buildings are absolutely beautiful. The architecture was amazing. Although Scar liked seeing nature at its finest.

        Scar arrived at the academy, taking in its structure. This was his first time here, since Cub usually picked Scar's sister up. As soon as he walked in, he regretted not bringing his cane with him. The cold air made his bones ache more than they already had. Even though the academy was cold, the interior was absolutely beautiful. Scar would get distracted by the chandeliers hanging. They were golden, with those yellow stained lights. The chandeliers also had little tear drop shaped gems hanging down. It was quite the combination.

        Someone cleared their throat behind him, getting his attention. "Hi, sir. Can I help you with anything?" they said. They sounded strict. And Scar was wondering whether or not he was security.

       "No, no, no- Well yes. Would you happen to know where Aurora Goodtimes is stationed?" Scar asked.

       "Oh. I thought Cub usually picked her up. Although- Are you her father?" the strict man said.

       "No no no no, I'm her older brother. Cub is a friend of mine. Scar Goodtimes." Scar said as he held his hand out.

       "Xisuma Void, you can call me X. I'm the headmaster of this academy." X said and shook his hand. His grip was firm, just like his personality.

       "It's a pleasure to meet you X." Scar said as he shook hands with the headmaster.

       "Oh no, the pleasure is all mine Mr. Goodtimes. Your sister is an excellent learner." 

       "I'm glad to hear. She absolutely loves this place. She talks about it everyday." Scar stated, looking around a bit in curiosity of where his sister was.

        "Mhm mhm. She's with our instructor Grian. He's on the second floor and has a red bird outside his room. You'll know when you see it." X said. Honestly his tone now was less strict and more.. fatherly?

        "Alright! Thanks!" Scar said with a wave goodbye. 

        He'd slowly walk up the stairs, because of the aching bones. God he wished he wasn't so forgetful! Once he made it upstairs he walked down the hall, looking through the classrooms. There were a few different ones. Gem, whose room was labeled the councilor's office. Pearl, who seemed to be an instructor of sorts. She had cool props as well. Mumbo K. Jumbo–jeez he used his whole name–who was also an instructor. Although with Dubs, who seemed like a really cool instructor. He stopped at the door, a little red bird instead of a name outside of it. 

        Scar opened the door, and smiled at his sister. Who quickly realized her brother was here and ran over to gently hug him. "Where's your instructor, Aurora? Don't just wanna steal you from your class."

        "Grian's over there!" Aurora pointed over to her instructor.

        Scar would smile and look over to where she pointed. His gaze stopped in its tracks as he saw Grian. First he saw the wings, the beautiful brown wings. Then the dirty blond hair, just slightly messy in style. As soon as Grian had realized someone was staring at him his feathers seemed to fluff out. That's when he did a 180° spin. Scar's brain ran, ran fast either with work or actually out of his skull. His jawline.. his lips.. his black eyes.. he swears he could stare into the deep black eyes and get lost into them…

cough cough

[imhereforthecomics]

@skydoesthings @desertduofan

Cant wait to see what yall come up with!

[imhereforthecomics]

A scarian AU idea (because i cant write or draw)

Ballet AU where Grian is a ballet teacher that teaches scar sister(and yes i dont have a name for her-)

Basiclly, when Scar waits for his sister to finish her ballet class, he stares at grian who is showing the students an example of how to dance, and he starts to develope a crush. And for grian, he basiclly just teases him and eventually developes a crush and the they confess and shit

Thats basiclly my idea of it, also scars sister and her friend are just shipping them in the backround (and you can add on to the lore if you want)

FOR PPL WHO WANNA DRAW/WRITE THIS AU, PLEASE REPOST

[desertduofan]

Did I ever do an introduction? At this point it's just whatever. Welcome one and all to this mess of a Tumblr!

Grian's POV:

Grian got chills down his neck, as if someone was watching him. He had folded his wings against his back and spun around to face this person. There stood a tall man, a good 6'4 if you asked Grian. His face was sharp and his nose was cut by a scar. He'd mistake this man for an intruder if Aurora hadn't cleared her throat and introduced him.

"Grian, this is my brother, Scar." Aurora stated before turning to her brother and speaking, "Scar, this is my instructor Grian.”

As if regaining his composure, The ‘Scar’ man grinned widely -Were his cheeks kinda pink? Probably just Grian’s imagination- and stuck out his hand

“Nice to meet you, Grian!”

“Nice to meet you too, Scar.”

Aurora smirked. She ran over to Ariana and whispered something in her ear, causing her to glance over and then both of them collapsing into a fit of giggles. Huh? What’s that about? Eh, he’ll figure it out later.

Scar seemed to stare at Grian, kinda in a trance. If Grian was any smarter he'd know that he seemed out of it. Maybe the man just had a big head and thought a lot. Grian hadn't cared right now either way. He had to get the rest of the kids to their parents or guardians.

“Well, uh, Scar- I have to get back to my job. Cub has my phone number if you have any questions.” Grian stated, not knowing that Scar would take that a different way.

TIME SKIP 3 HOURS LATER

If Grian had to explain his day, he'd explain it as a fish dying in the sand. Why? He had no idea. It just wasn't normal. He went to work, the first thing he hears is that Ariana got in trouble– which was normal. The part that wasn't normal was this scarred man, coincidentally named Scar. He was the typical “oh save me” prince type almost. His words fit right in his mouth, like a poet. God did he hate those types of people.

Although…Scar is somehow different? Grian didn't feel hatred towards Scar.. Maybe because his sister was such a good student. Bias and all. Which is what Grian was trying to convince himself.

Grian was currently sitting on his couch, drinking his favorite tea. Herbal tea was most definitely the best tea. Tastes like a sweet morning with a bit of dew. It was nice and warm compared to the harsh snowy world outside. London was an amazing place, it was close to home and similar. Everyone was nice, although he didn't like people too much.

Oh, nevermind that, he's run out of tea. He'd get up and put his phone on the table before getting up and heading to the kitchen. It was cozy and livable, not too big-the apartment and the kitchen. Grian headed to the sink to clean his mug before his phone started to ring. 

There were only three things this could be.. his mom, his siblings or a parent calling and informing him that their kid wouldn't be in class. And if he really wanted to be wrong, maybe even X. Actually, there was only one real way to figure it out, since all those phone numbers weren't in his contacts. 

“Hello?” 

“Oh! Uh- this is awkward.. Is this Grian?” the person on the other side asked.

“Maybe.. who is this?” Grian asked through the phone.

“This is Scar! You know.. Aurora’s bigger brother?” Scar said.

Grian realized that he was talking to Scar.. the guy with a scar slashed through his nose. The guy the Grian really can't stop thinking about because he's.. unique.. uniquely weird.

“Hello..?” Scar said from the other side.

Oh.. he must've blanked out.

“Hey! Sorry- Yeah this is Grian. Why ‘d you call?” Grian said as he put the phone on speaker and headed to the kitchen. There was complete silence after Grian questioned Scar. Did this man not have a reason to call?

“Can't a man call his sister's teacher to make sure he's doing okay? I mean, teacher's work hard and you could be stressed out-” Scar rambled before Grian started to cut him off with..

“Scar, we barely know each other for you to be checking up on me and worrying.” Grian simply stated.

“We've known each other for a few hours-”

“We introduced ourselves for a couple of seconds before I had to get back to work.” Grian was thinking logically instead of optimistically, compared to Scar.

“I'm also picking up my sister from now on.” Scar said, joy underlined in every word he used in that sentence.

Grian didn't feel opposed to seeing Scar everyday or so. I mean he hated the other parents with all their stupid gossip and politics, with everything all about them. He sat and listened to the other parents, while with Scar he didn't know what to expect. To Grian, Scar seemed like the type of guy that WILL sit you down and talk with you for hours about Disney and Star Wars, and Grian’s fine with that. Might enjoy it, even.

Grian chuckled. “Sure, big guy. Good for you. Well, to answer your questions, I’m doing well, not really feelin’ the stress too much right now. And you, I speak from experience when I say big brothers work hard too. Are you doing well? Any stress on your end?”

Scar's POV:

As soon as Grian asked how he was doing, Scar felt a hot flush creep across his cheeks.

“M-me?”

“Yeah, you. Are you okay?” Grian’s smooth, beautiful voice rang out from the other end.

Looking up from cutting the vegetables, Cub smirked and mouthed ‘Lovesick’ to Aurora, and Aurora, who was helping him, also smirked and vocalized “Oooooo!”

Scar moved the phone a little away from himself and hissed at both of the others to shut up. They were making nothing better as he got embarrassed by both of them. He took a deep breath before putting that mask of confidence back up and swindling a few words. Although it had barely calmed his heart.

“I-I'm doing fine, thank you.”

“Hmm, you sure? You don’t sound too good…”

“O-oh, you don’t have to worry about silly old me! I’m great!”

“Well, whatever you say. Anyway, it’s now time for me to go on my own big brother duties to prevent my siblings from exploding…”

Scar found himself bursting into laughter. To his delight, he heard Grian join him from the other side.

“O-oh man. Are they chaotic?”

“Extremely. Pearl and Jimmy might have set the world on fire with Ariana by now if I wasn’t there. But, to be honest, I would have joined them if our older cousins Martyn and Lizzie weren’t there to reel me in too!”

And they both cracked up again. God, Scar loved hearing Grian laugh. It was beautiful, and a nice change from the stoic man he’d met earlier.

“Isn’t Pearl also a teacher at the academy?”

“Yeah, she’s quite the teacher in fact, however still chaotic, she doesn’t teach ballet like the rest of us, instead teaching weapons dancing.”

“Weapons dancing? That’s so cool! But isn’t that also a bit dangerous?”

“Oh, it is. You should have seen how much she used to get hurt when she started out. But she’s a professional now, and an amazing one, at that.”

“That’s amazing.”

“Well, I really do have to go now. Lovely talking to you, Scar.”

“You too! Goodbye!”

Scar put the phone down, positively glowing. Aurora and Cub walked over, dinner must be ready!

“So,” Aurora began, “How did you manage to make a boyfriend out of my instructor so quickly?”

All thoughts of dinner flew out the window, as Scar became extremely flustered.

“AURORA! H-he’s not my boyfriend!”

“But you want him to be, don’t you?”

“N-no! We’re just friends, and that’s what it’s gonna be! Yep, juuust friends!”

“Oh, stop being in denial Scar, you totally have a crush on Grian” Cub joined in, with a knowing grin plastered on his face.

“I DO NOT! BOTH OF YOU, SHUT UP!!!”

And both Cub and Aurora pointedly stared at him.

“O-okay, maybe a little…”

“FINALLY!”
