Who knows, we might not actually be strangers.

Hopefully you’re having a good time.

Maybe. I wouldn't be surprised if we weren't.. I know quite a few people at Monarch.

...Thanks. Can't tell if you're being sincere but I'll just go with it. Hope you're having a good time too.

Unmasked at Midnight || Joshua & Sutton

suttonmonroeyeah-blog

Sutton offered him a small shrug of her shoulders, “It was okay, a few too many drunken fools tripping in front of me, but…it was entertaining to watch. I’ve met a few people too, I’ll probably never know who they are unless I recognize their eyes, or something… but I don’t mind them not knowing who I am, or who they are.” The brunette had been more open and social tonight than she had been in ages. She was rarely one for deep talks. In fact, people probably wouldn’t even believe it was her. She could tell he was a little nervous, and perhaps she was too. Revealing herself to Joshua would be letting him into the cracks in her armor that she tried so hard to cover up and hide from the rest of the world. There was still a lot she harbored to herself, but still, he knew more than the average person. “And if I wasn’t that pretty girl you were looking for would you be disappointed?” She teased, tilting her head to the side, as her eyes peered up at him. There was a hint of a smirk on her face, as she tried to push the nerves out of her head.

Sutton ignored the small urge to take a step away from him when he inched towards her. Her lips slightly parted as she peered up at the masked boy whose fingertips flirted with the strings that would eventually reveal her identity. She looked down, biting her bottom lip softly. “I- I don’t know…I’m still not exactly sure who you are… I don’t know if it’ll be a mistake to do so, or not.” The young girl replied, honestly before looking back up at him, “you tell me, do you want to reveal yourself? It isn’t too late to forget about it all, and just keep each other’s secrets… Though, I must admit, I’m a naturally curious person. I might lose sleep not finding out who you are.” She teased, trying to make light of the situation.

"Well a few stumbling idiots is better than an entire stampede. Believe me, I've had that happen before and it wasn't pretty," Joshua chuckled lightheartedly at the memory. This was a milder night in comparison, but certainly one he wanted to remember. Contemplating Sutton's question for a moment, he shrugged just as she did. "I don't think I would be. I smoked. I drank. I had fun. Got to hang with another pretty girl. Nothing to be disappointed about if you ask me...". His voice trailing away, Joshua looked down at the brunette and studied her eyes. They were honest, or at least it appeared that way considering they were a small part of her that remained uncovered. If only he had remembered the color of the eyes of the girl he was looking for, maybe it would have helped a little. But no matter how hard he racked his brain he couldn't remember. He wasn't even sure if the memory was in there to recall.

Joshua listened to Sutton quietly, noting the slight quiver in the girl's voice. She seemed just as confused and nervous about it all. It was kind of nice knowing he wasn't alone in feeling that. Smiling when she looked up at him again so as to show her there was nothing to be afraid of, the teenager licked his lips and spoke. "I do and I don't. When it comes down to it..I've had a surprisingly stellar night, you being the reason for that. There's a possibility that if I take off my mask, it might ruin it all...". Sighing because he realized he had already mentally come to a decision, Joshua retreated a half-step back. "I know for sure that if we leave it at this, there's no chance of ruining what we shared tonight. Maybe that's for the better. I'm content and you're content. I'll keep your secrets for you, even if I am just as curious,". A soft laugh escaping his lips, Joshua smiled one more time at Sutton. "Maybe I'll find you again eventually. But knowing my luck I probably won't, so...". Without another word, the teenaged boy leaned in, caressing the brunette's cheek with one hand to lift her face. He could feel the warmth of her breath brushing against the top of his lip before he kissed her. Softly and sweetly, desiring yet not demanding. Joshua indulged in it for as long as his lungs allowed before pulling away. "Sorry," he managed to utter in a whispery way. "I'd regret it if I didn't,".

Unmasked at Midnight || Joshua & Sutton

As the clock struck quarter to midnight, the small brunette slipped away from the busy atmosphere of the main ballroom and into the hotel restroom. She was slightly intoxicated, but still functional. The teens in the ballroom were out of control and it was nice to get away from the drunken atmosphere. Getting a quiet moment to herself, she hastily undid the mask and ran her hands just underneath her eyes. She didn’t even bother caring if people walked into the bathroom and saw who she was at this point. The night was close to ending; and there was also the fact that most of the girls were too under the influence to even comprehend her mask was gone.After fixing herself and making herself as presentable as she could, the girl tied the mask back over her eyes, and grabbed the suit jacket she had forgotten to give back to the boy she was off to go meet.

As she made her way to the the rooftop, her mind still reeled. She wasn’t sure who Joshua actually was. She hadn’t even met that many people in her short time at Monarch, so narrowing it down shouldn’t have been this hard. He just didn’t seem to be, or act like any of the seniors she knew. It wouldn’t be surprising if he was a complete stranger, but then again, he did say he knew, or had a clue as to who she was. The cold brisk air whisked her brown locks into the air, Sutton shook her head, and pushed the hair out of her face, tucking it behind her ear. Her previous thoughts leaving her mind quickly, as she scanned the roof for the masked boy.

She walked over to the spot where they had previously been, and her eyes caught glimpse of the moon. Even without the building and city lights, the moon was probably bright enough to be the main source of light, tonight. She heard the door open and she spun around, a small smile tugging on her lips. “Well, hey there, stranger.” She said, holding out his suit jacket, “I forgot to give this back to you.”

"You smell like vomit..." Joshua grimaced as he pulled another intoxicated flirty girl off of him. These teenagers were just getting crazy now, or hormonal. Crazy hormonal. Paired with a whole lot of alcohol was just the definition of another Monarch get together. Normally he would join them, but tonight he had a goal in mind and it was to find the girl. Joshua wasn't sure if his rooftop smoking buddy was the right person, but by this time of night he was close to giving up. If she wasn't, it wouldn't be half bad. Sutton was pleasant to spend time with and surprisingly easy to talk to --- a little too easy. Joshua found himself saying things he normally wouldn't had he not had a mask covering his face. He wasn't sure any more if he was more nervous about getting his guess wrong or nervous for Sutton to find out who he was after all he said. Either way, the teenager could feel his heart thumping against his chest as he climbed the back stairs, each step heavier than the last. Straightening his tie one last time, Joshua sighed and opened the door.

The sharp, cool air was so much nicer than being in the stuffy indoors. Joshua had only been out here a few hours ago but had already forgotten the simple pleasantry of fresh oxygen. Standing a few paces away where they were was the brunette in the same dress, smiling ever so brightly with his jacket in hand. It brought a light grin to Joshua's face too, and he uttered a "thanks" as he took it. "So.." he started, unsure of how to exactly go about this unveiling. "I hope you had a good rest of the night. Mine was okay...didn't find the girl I was looking for. But that just means the probability of you being her is higher". Stepping closer, Joshua reached up and touched a finger to Sutton's mask, a mixture of curiosity and apprehension as he tilted his head sideways. "Are you sure you want to do this? Unmask? We talked about some...pretty deep stuff. If I'm to be honest, I can't be entirely sure myself. But if you want, I'm happy to" he said softly.
