You brush your short (h/c) out of your large (e/c) eyes. Then you straighten out your suit. The ball you were dreading for so long had finally come. Arthur came in behind you; he was quieter now that he knew about you. The atmosphere between the both of you was very awkward.

“That suit looks nice on you, _________.” He said and shifted around.

“Thank you.” You said and turned to him, his blonde hair brushed back, looking much neater than normally. From the outside you could hear Francis making the grand address.

Arthur came over to your side and looked at you then notice a faint smile form on his lips. You laugh softly and turn away from him.

“Let’s go.” You say to him and go out of the small dressing room. Lovino was standing on the outside the dressing room, his eyes focused on Arthur as he came out behind you. He seemed almost jealous… Strange.

You finally hear your name being called and you walk out to the top of a grand staircase. Below you stood at least half the student body in their nicest gowns and suits. This dance must have made a large profit.

“Mesdames et Messieurs, Welcome to that Fall Ball, in honor of ________ ________, the newest member of the Host Club!” He said and motioned to you as you stepped forward. The claps of the crowd where delicate and neat, just what you would expect from a bunch of snobs. You wave at them and smile, then make your way down the stairs, followed by Lovino and Arthur. Then the rest of the speech continued and then the dancing began, the live band played soft music and the students danced with each other. You were asked to dance multiple times during the night by girls, to spare their feelings and an awkward night you declined them all. You watched the other members dance around until eventually you got up, tired of sitting around. You walk over to the snack table and munch on some fancy food, caviar and crackers. Peter walked over to you, eating some type of candy.

“Why don’t you dance with anyone?” He asked.

“I don’t feel like it.”

“Would you dance with another boy?”

“No.”

“Not even Arthur?”

“What…? No!” You rolled your eyes and looked down at him.

“Mnhnm…” He said and stuffed his face again. “What about Lovino?” He asked and looked up
at you.

“No! Stop it Peter I’m not gay!” You say and spin around, clenching your jaw and going back to your seat. It was a mistake getting up. After another half an hour of watching this incredibly boring dance you see Ludwig pushing his way through the dance floor to reach you.

“Hello Ludwig…” You say and smile at him faintly.

“Hello.” He said and sat next to you. “Having fun?” He asked sarcastically.

“Tons!” You said and throw your hands up in an exaggerated way. He laughed faintly and you smile at him. He had a hard exterior, but was actually very nice. “What gave it away?” You asked.

“Vell, zhere vas your annoyed expression, zhey vay you zurned down every girl, and the vords ‘fuck off’ stamped on your forehead.” He said and looked at you, you begin laughing more along with him.

“That’s the best thing I’ve hear all night.” You said and laughed softly.

“Vhat? Besides zhe sounds of zhe girls high pitched laughter or the boys comparing how much zhey have in zhere vallets?” He said and looked at you. You begin laughing even more. The very first rich person who wasn’t all about money… You could really get to like him, as a friend of course. For the rest of the night you chatted with Ludwig, the both of you had a much better evening. If he knew you were a girl he would act awkward and distant, like the others did. He was too good a friend; there was not a chance he could ever know.

Those final thoughts drifted through your mind as you close your eyes, drifting off into sleep. Your mind preparing you for what lies ahead… Starting in the morning. Great.
