Fanboys [Chengs]

[Gryphon Matsuoka]

Gryphon had quite the set up in the auditorium. He had caught the stage when it was empty and unused, and took the opportunity to get some practise in - you could never practise too much. Well, unless you broke a bone or pulled a muscle or something, but all the same, Gryph would probably keep going anyway. He loved being intertwined with the music, the beat and the melody. It was... amazing.

He sat cross-legged on the floor, laptop in front of him, watching this EXO video over again. He'd seen the dance about a million times, but another time wouldn't hurt. And also, he loved KPOP, it was really fun to dance to, AND he could sing along. He saw a lot of the comments which talked about the fact that they sounded like idiots if they tried to sing, but he could do it properly and it was AWESOME. Probably one of the best things about knowing Korean, when else did he use it anyway? Maybe if he knew some more Korean people... I dunno.

He was interested in Kai's part, dancing with the coat and fedora. The actual choreography was very similar to the type he liked to create, so it was something he'd been interested in for a while. He had the dark hair for it as well, now. It was a bit scruffier than usual, partially on purpose, but also because he didn't expect to be talking to anyone - he wasn't as sharp with his clothing when he was dancing, comfort over style. The video ended and Gryphon tapped the track pad; he could do this. He opened iTunes and clicked on the song 'What Is Love' by EXO. It was go time.

Gryph moved the laptop onto the table he had out. His set-up wasn't as detailed as the one in the video, but he had a table and a chair in place of the mirror. He didn't really need anything else. He pressed play and moved into position, jacket and hat in hand. Using his memory from a minute ago, and the parts he already knew from casual practise, he began making the almost robotic movements, and began striding around. It gave him chills, but the good kind. He almost felt like he was actually in the video.

[Forrest & Skye Cheng]

The auditorium was the place that the twins always went to to 'secretly' work on their choreography. They weren't ashamed, per say, but a lot of people didn't understand their obsession with their genre of choice - or the fact that they hoped to be K-pop idols themselves some day. Or movie directors. Or something. They didn't know! But it was fun, and they enjoyed it, and the auditorium was the perfect place to practice.

Forrest was lugging along their laptop with all their music on it, his lighter-haired brother leading as they reached the door to the room. However, he paused, holding his ear against the door, and listened to what sounded like music coming from inside. Forrest, by default, heard what Skye did, and tilted his head curiously.

"Guess someone's already using the auditorium," he sighed. Bummer. "We can come back in a bit and-"

"Wait," Skye hissed, but he hadn't needed to say anything; Forrest had stopped talking as soon as they'd both recognized the song. ".... No way..."

Surely that wasn't EXO that they were hearing, right!?

Without further ado, they propped the door open and snuck inside, trying not to alert the current dancer on the stage. They skittered up to the front row and watched in awe as a tall, handsome boy moved fluidly across the stage, obviously mimicking the movements of a dance the two of them had watched several times and had meant to try out themselves sometime, although they'd focused more on Sehun's double-image part, because... Well, it would've worked better for them.

They waited patiently for the song to be over before practically pouncing the guy.

"Ohmygod you have no idea how long we've wanted to find someone to dance with!" the blonde twin gushed, scrambling onto the stage and gazing at the stranger with awe.

"Yeah, that was... Amazing! You looked just like Kai!" Fanboys much? Forrest hoisted himself up after his brother, both of them beaming. "We've been working on a choreography-"

"For Growl," Skye finished, bouncing on the balls of his feet. "You know it, right? Oh, please tell us you do!"

[Gryphon Matsuoka]

Gryph performed the dance well, with little mistakes, which he was glad of. Throughout the song, he mouthed the lyrics; he could sing, it was almost a side effect of his bird communication, since a lot of it involved birdsong, but even so, it wasn't something he worked one. He would if he wanted to, but it was more of a happy occurrence than a reccuring hobby.

He wasn't really concentrating on the audience and that area of the room, for most of the performance he either had his eyes closed, remembering the dance, but he was so encapsulated by the music that when the twins entered, he didn't take much notice at all.

Not until they started speaking, of course. Another EXO song underscored their conversation, he hadn't had time to switch it off. First, he was shocked, then minorly embarrassed, and then... his emotions were flying around. "Someone to dance with...?" He questionned, they were dancers?

Gryphon blushed a little at the compliment, "Thanks, but I'm not that good yet." Yet. He held pretty high aspirations for himself. It was pretty overwhelming, having these two bobbing up and down and interweaving their sentences with each other... it was cute, honestly, but he hadn't been prepared for it. At the mention of the song Growl though, he smiled back, "Of course I know it, I love EXO." And 2PM, and f(x), Super Junior, 2NE1, uBeat, Boyfriend... the list went on - K-Pop was his jam.

He actually computed what they had said and back-tracked slightly, "You guys are workin' on a choreography?" That was something he wouldn't mind seeing.
