yule ball starter for @odctteswan

Dimitri had never really been to a party like this, at least not with an invitation.  He’d worked as a waiter at a few parties like this while in college (before he dropped out) but being a guest was a whole different ball game.  He was wearing the one suit he owned, his hair slicked back and face cleanly shaven.  He had to say, it felt weird.  As he scoped out the room, he spotted a woman on the other side of the room and made his way over to her.  “Hell of a party, huh?”

Dimitri’s outfit for the ball is this, and he doesn’t have a date yet so I’m open for plots!

“Damn, are those my only choices? I mean, I guess I’ve had a few adventures in my life, so why not, let’s go with that.”

mango: what is your trademark?

“I guess you could say it’s my winning smile.  It’s gotten me out of quite a few bad situations and I don’t see it letting me down in the future.”

Nodding her head slowly, she licks her lips and looks down. “Er, yeah! I figured that the best time would be when I had the day off so, here I am now.” Anya muses and looks around, mouth opening and closing like a fish when she sees some of the things that were on display. “All of this looks so cool. If you could, would you be able to choose a favourite one out of everything?” She curiously questions, still walking around, her fingers messing around with the necklace on her neck.

“Yeah, here you are.  Well, feel free to take a look around, my pawn shop is your pawn shop.”  He gestured to the nearby shelves, taking a few glances here and there at a few things.  “My favorite?  Man, that’s hard.  There’s an old grandfather clock over there that’s pretty cool, quite a statement piece if you ask me.”  He shrugged and shoved his hands into the pockets of his jeans.

Putting her hair up into a ponytail, the blonde looked around as she continued to absentmindedly walk down the street of the small town, it had been a couple days since she last spoke to Dimitri, and the offer he had told her about, was still stuck in her head, so as soon as she found a free day to go and visit the pawn shop, she didn’t hesitate. He was sweet from what she could tell, a bit closed off, but there was something about him that intrigued her and she didn’t understand why. As she finally reached the door to the shop, the Russian looked around, instinctively smiling when she sees him. “Knock, knock?” 

[crovvdofthousands]

Dimitri didn’t want to say that he forgot about his offer to Anya, but it just wasn’t on the forefront of his mind.  He was busy keeping the shop together and that was enough to keep anyone occupied.  He had been busy polishing a display case when he heard the bell above the door ring.  He looked over and smiled when he saw the familiar girl walk in.  “Hey!”  He put the spray bottle and rag down on a nearby counter and walked toward her.  “You came.  Welcome, I guess.”

“Exactly, not everyone is the same and some may have different opinions over others, and that’s alright.” She muses and nervously fiddles with the sleeves of her jacket. “I’ll look forward to seeing you too. I should probably get ready for my shift here soon, but it was really nice to meet you, Dimitri.”

“I completely agree.”  Dimitri replied with a nod, and despite his stubborn personality he really did believe that.  “Nice meeting you too, Anya.  Stop by the shop any time, I practically live there.”

“I personally, have always been one to sit in a chair and read a book instead of spending my time on a phone or computer honestly.” She admits with a small blush. “You do? Oh, is there?” Blue eyes widen in interest, the smile on her lips quickly growing into a grin. “I will definitely do that, thank you!”

“Well to each their own, I guess.”  Dimitri leaned back in his chair with a shrug.  He was always more of a fan of technology, but he could see why old fashioned things like books were appealing to some.  When he saw how excited she got about the idea of his store, he couldn’t help but smile.  “Cool, I’ll look forward to seeing you then.”

Sipping her drink, she pushes a piece of hair behind her ear and laughs softly. “I was about to say, I didn’t mean the actual cafe because, there’s only so much you can do.” Anya jokes and shrugs. “Perhaps I will go check out the shops soon then, I’d love to go to an Antique shop, the things that they have there, are so gorgeous and magical.”

“Aw c’mon, give this place some credit.  With strong wi-fi you’ve got the whole world at your fingertips.”  Dimitri chuckled softly.  “Tell you what.  I work at the pawn shop in town, and there’s a ton of old stuff in there.  When you have time, why don’t you stop by and we’ll see what we can find?”

[crovvdofthousands]

xnmydreams:

Turning her head to the side, she licks her lips and smiles. “Thank you, I probably need all the good luck that I can possibly get.” Anya states with a small laugh, as much as she hoped that she could find someone from her past, she knew that the chances were in no way, high. “So, what kinds of things would you recommend doing here? This place seems rather..small, wouldn’t it be easy to get bored?”

“Well, I’m rooting for you.”  Dimitri replied with a small smile as he sipped his drink.  “Around here?  Well I mean, the wi-fi signal’s pretty good, so there’s that.  Otherwise, this place has all your stereotypical small town charm, so there are a ton of little shops that are worth checking out.”

If it was up to Odette she would have stayed locked in his arms forever.  She continued swaying with him under the moonlight feeling as if they were the only two people in the world. 

Dimitri had butterflies in his stomach- a feeling he’d only experienced maybe once in his life.  He couldn’t help the small smile on his face, and the fact that it was brought on only by Odette made him even more happy.  “So, I’m sorry if this is forward, and if it makes you uncomfortable I get it, but-”  He hesitated for a second before softly pressing his lips to hers.

Blinking, she shakes her head and offers the smallest of smiles, nervously biting her lip. “No, it’s..fine I guess? I just wish that I knew, hopefully I can find something that will help.”

“Well, good luck with that.”  Dimitri replied with a soft smile.  In reality, he knew that the likelihood of her finding something from her past was slim, but he didn’t want to come right out and say it

odctteswan:

Her cheeks darkened at his compliment and she swore her heart was beating faster then it was before. “ Oh. T..thank you. “ she replied shyly. She then leaned her head upon his chest, feeling safe and content in his arms. 

“You’re welcome.”  Dimitri couldn’t help but chuckle at her darkened cheeks before he smiled contently and leaned his head on top of hers, happy to just be close to her, which was kind of strange for him.

The blonde blushed, before drawing a little closer to him. Her arms then looped themselves around his shoulder as she gently began swaying with him. Despite there not being any music they seemed to be in perfect sync. Odette had never been so close to someone before, especially not a guy, still she didn’t seem to mind one bit.  

The smile on Dimitri’s face was unlike any other smile he’d ever had on his face.  He normally never liked to show this much vulnerability, but in this case he really didn’t mind it.  He wrapped his arms around Odette’s waist and also began to sway.  “You look absolutely beautiful tonight.”  He said softly.
