Party
711 Words
The fairy lights twinkled brightly as he walked past the corridor leading to the hall in the palace. Joseph was beside him, as quiet as he always was, dressed up in a nice deep blue suit. He had a silver mask on and a silver bowtie Leonard teased him about since he went to pick him up from the entrance.
Leonard wore a dark blue suit coat with a white turtleneck shirt complete with brown leather shoes. He looked absolutely ravishing and the black lace masquerade mask gave him a hair of mystery. Joseph hated the way the man towered over him so he shoved him from his side.
Play showing each other like little kids, they stopped immediately when they entered the hall. Behaving like a relatively normal person, Leonard gracefully entered the hall and searched for the birthday girl with his eyes. It wasn’t actually that hard to find her.
Her long silver dress immediately caught his eyes. It exposed and shaped her long beautiful legs, showed off her slender neck and relatively muscly body. The dress dipped a little below her bust but it was still reasonable. She wore a dark feather mask, her numerous piercings catching the lights.
Beside her was someone that made him choke on his breath. Dazzling like a star and wearing the most handsome silver suit he had ever seen, was the prince. His long hair was packed up but some locks were still left to curl around his face. He was actually smiling, talking with people who looked a lot like him. He wore a plain mask which still looked perfect in his opinion.
“Joseph, I might be gay”
“So, who cares?”
“You’re not even going to ask who like a responsible best friend”
“I don’t care. Leave me be”
“Why are you so grumpy this evening?”
“I got roped in to be that demon’s date! I am not okay!”
“Hey, don’t call her a demon. Show some respect, it’s her birthday. We are supposed to adore her like the goddess she is”
“Simp” Joseph says with disgust, his face scrunching up.
“Don’t be mean”
“Your face is annoying”
“My face is beautiful”
“I have no words for your pure stupidity”
“But Leo’s right, Jojo, his face is beautiful”
“See, Princess agrees with me. Princess?!”
“Hey, Leo. Thanks for coming”
Yasmine smiles and embraces Leonard. Whilst they hugged, Leonard’s eyes unknowingly darted around in search of the prince but he came up empty.
“You look dashing tonight”
“Forget about me, you look absolutely ravishing, my princess”
Snapping out of his daze, he bows and kisses her hand. She giggles and he looks up, only to come face to face with a huge frown on a handsome face. Startled, he steps back and collides with Joseph who was holding a glass of punch. It spilled directly on his coat and a bit splashed on Joseph.
“Hey Airhead, watch it!” Joseph exclaims with annoyance and uses a spell to bring out the stains in his suit whilst grumbling. Leonard was still stuck in a daze, his hand in the firm grip of Yasmine.
“Leo, are you okay? You got punch all over you”
“I’m fine. I was just startled”
“See, this is what happens when you pop out of nowhere Tristan!”
Tristan obviously didn’t know why he was being blamed but the lost look in Leonard's eyes made him feel a bit guilty.
“I’m sorry”
“No, don’t apologize. I just spaced out. I’ll get the stain out right away….”
“No, let me”
Tristan walked closer and touched the stain on Leonard’s coat. Even though they were separated by pieces of clothing, Leonard still felt an electric pulse go down his spine.
It was the most thrilling feeling he had gotten in his entire life.
