wolfpainters:

AU in which bro signs little Dave up for dancing lessons for the irony, but Dave is unironically good at it.

Dave Strider met Rose Lalonde when they were forced to be each others dance partner. As time passed they became one of the best pair of dancers in the country. They’ve been each others partner for 13 years. 

Dave was very persistent about his shades at first, but as the moves became harder to pull off he realised he couldn’t dance with them on like he could as a kid. Bro ended up getting him brown contacts for contests. 

Bonus rival pairing: John Egbert and Jade Harley. (contacts. contacts everywhere.)
