CopperSmith – Love Somebody

“Wait, you what?” Leslie's jaw dropped.  “What do you mean you can't dance?”
Copperhead winced slightly, deliberately averted his gaze to stare at a spot on the wall, and looked, if anything, incredibly guilty.  He fidgeted nervously, his hands twitching before he started wringing his tail uncomfortably.
“You're super-acrobatic, mega-flexible, and you've already got sassy Latin hips,” she said slowly, “And you're telling me you can't dance.”
“That's stereotyping!” He said quickly.  “And no, I can't.  I'm clumsy and uncoordinated.”
“HOW?” She cried in exasperation, throwing her hands into the air.
“I don't know!” He groaned, smacking a hand against his head.  “I just can't.  I've tried, believe me, and I really can't.  I'll probably step on you or make us both trip.  Give it up, Leslie.”
She frowned at him, planting her hands on her hips.
“I don't believe it for a second.  You move like a boss when you're fighting.”
“I'm not trying to think about that when I'm fighting!  I just move on instinct.”
She continued to frown for a second, then a sly smile crept over her face.
“Then that's probably the issue,” she declared, “You're thinking too much.”
“Wait, what?”
She took a step forward, lightly pressing her body against his, seized his shoulder and grabbed his opposite hand.  Heat flooded his body and he let out a strangled sound of surprise.
“What are you doing?!”
“Teaching you to dance.”
“Leslie, I told you, I can't—“
“You can't if you try using your brain, you mean.” She corrected, pulling him along into a few steps, forming a small circuit around the living room.  “You'll be just fine if you don't think.”
“Easy for you to say!” He snapped.  “If I'm not supposed to think about dancing, then what the hell AM I supposed to think about?”
Leslie scrunched up her face for a moment in thought, then beamed.
“Think about me.”
He fell quiet, cheeks turning bright red.  He wasn't about to tell her how easy that was.
The seventh in this set of musically-based and inspired drabbles!! 8D YAY MORE SHIPPING FEELS! AND THIS TIME IT IS MY CURRENT FAVORITE SHIP, COPPERSMITH! Because damn it I love them. Yezzy actually gets the blame for this one, as he and I both sort of came up with the headcanon that Copperhead is amazing...as long as he's not trying to think about what he's doing. Because he's utterly awesome in the Justice League episodes when he's fighting and reacting purely on instinct, but when he tries to think too much, that's when he outsmarts himself FOR THE SUPERHEROES. Hence, this silly adorable fluffy cuteness. *squees and dies*
