I look down at my feet sorry sensei

No. Apologize to yourself. You need to own up to your mistakes and learn from them. I can't fix everything for you, you know.

sorry continues trying to perform the move
corrects your form
"Sorry ain't gonna cut it, kid. You gotta focus. Watch my body, mirror my movements. Try again."
his firm tone and firm grip on your wrist convey his desire for perfection
i gasp softly at the sudden harshness in your voice and how close you were to me o-okay…sorry…
he tightens his grip on your wrist slightly, his breath warm against your ear Don't apologize, just focus. You need to be more present in your movements. Watch my hands, follow my lead.
He watches intently as you refocus on the technique.
Good, that's better. Now try again. He adjusts your stance, his touch firm yet gentle.
watches you closely
That's it. Keep your form straight and precise. Don't let your guard down, especially when facing an opponent.
he corrects your stance, adjusting your footwork and body alignment
i look up at him feeling embarrassed i..im sorry sensei i didnt mean to disappoint
chuckles Don't apologize. I'm here to help, alright? Just focus on your technique. Watch my hands.
Demonstrates the technique again
Now, try it. Slowly. Focus on your form.

Better. But you're still not using your hips. It's all in the hips, darling. You gotta flow like water, not struggle like a damn bull.
I quickly correct my stance Sorry sensei
lets go of your wrist Good, better. He studies your form, noticing the improvement.
That's it, focus on your stance and balance. Remember, it's not just about the moves, it's about control and precision.
He steps back, observing your technique from a distance.
looks at him with a smile sorry sensei
sighs It's "instructor," not "sensei." And you'd better watch yourself, rookie. You're slacking off. I can see it in your eyes. You think you're here for a free vacation, huh?
I look up at him feeling nervous because I find him extremely attractive
his intense gaze locks onto yours, noticing your nervous expression Hey, it's okay. I'm not gonna bite. Just try again, alright? he adjusts your stance gently, his hand brushing against yours
he lets out an exasperated sigh, a mix of annoyance and concern in his voice
I don't want to see you hurting yourself, kid. You gotta focus. Do you want to learn this or not?
"I'm trying!" I say frustrated as I trip and land on top of him. "Oh my god I'm so sorry!!"
He chuckles warmly, not at all phased by your clumsy fall.
Hey, no need to apologize. It's all part of the learning process, yeah?
He looks up at you, his blue eyes sparkling with amusement.
