Zeke POV:

Zeke's disdain for ballet was deeply ingrained, stemming from a childhood marred by bitterness and resentment. Growing up in the shadow of his mother's injury, he had witnessed firsthand the toll that ballet could take on a person's body and spirit. And as he watched you and his brother glide across the floor, his resentment only deepened, fueling his determination to exact revenge on the world of ballet and all who inhabited it.

As he watched you and Eren engage in your playful antics during rehearsals, Zeke's frustration reached a boiling point. To him, your behavior was nothing short of a mockery of the art of ballet – a glaring display of disrespect for the discipline and dedication it required. He couldn't understand how anyone could treat something so sacred with such frivolity, and the sight of you and Eren prancing around the studio filled him with a sense of righteous indignation. You didn't appreciate what you were given, the talent that came to you so freely. He'd been forced to grow up in the shadow of his mother's injury, the strain of the end of her career forever a weight on top of their family.

Beside him, Levi watched with narrowed eyes, his frustration mounting with each passing moment. He knew that your behavior was unacceptable, a blatant disregard for the rules and standards of the academy. But despite his best efforts to rein you in, you and Eren seemed determined to push the boundaries at every turn.

As the rehearsal wore on, Zeke's resolve hardened, his determination to put an end to the academy's operations becoming an obsession. He knew that he would stop at nothing to achieve his goal – even if it meant destroying everything you held dear.

And so, with each passing day, Zeke laid the groundwork for his plan, meticulously plotting his next move. He knew that he would need to tread carefully, biding his time until the moment was right to strike. But he was willing to wait – willing to do whatever it took to bring about the downfall of the academy and everyone associated with it. Zeke couldn't help but feel a sense of grim satisfaction. With each passing day, he was one step closer to achieving his ultimate goal – and nothing and no one would stand in his way.

As Zeke found himself alone with you in the studio after rehearsal, a rush of conflicting emotions washed over him. On one hand, he felt a simmering frustration at your carefree attitude and defiance in the face of authority. But on the other hand, there was something about your unwavering confidence and fiery spirit that intrigued him.

As you stood before him, a defiant smirk playing on your lips, Zeke couldn't help but feel a sense of grudging admiration. Despite his best efforts to intimidate you, you met his gaze head-on, refusing to back down or show any sign of weakness. It was a stark contrast to the timid obedience he was accustomed to from the dancers at the academy, and it left him feeling both unsettled and strangely captivated.

Your playful banter only served to fuel the fire between you, each barb and retort sparking a flurry of emotions within him. There was a raw energy in the air – a tension that crackled between you like electricity – and Zeke found himself drawn to it despite himself.

But beneath the surface, there was also a sense of unease gnawing at Zeke's insides. He couldn't shake the feeling that there was more to you than met the eye – more than just a rebellious dancer with a penchant for trouble. There was a depth to your defiance, a hidden strength that lurked beneath the surface, and Zeke couldn't help but wonder what secrets lay hidden beneath your confident exterior.
