Marco leaned against the wall casually, waiting for this whole night to be over. He just wanted to go home already. He hated big parties, almost as much as he hated big crowds of people he didn’t know. Especially when most of those people were demons. The Underworld was so much different, it was a little unsettling. He saw two guys get into a fist fight, and nobody batted an eye. It was a lot more violent and scary down here, and they seemed to take pride in that. Marco crossed his arms and looked down, smoothing out his dress.
“Princess.” A voice spoke to him in a very gentlemanly manner. Marco looked up and saw a demon giving him a little bow. “What is a beautiful girl like you doing all alone in the corner?” He asked, looking up. Marco huffed and looked away from the kid trying to flirt with him.
“Waiting to find some people I know.” He mumbled.
“Of course, how rude of me.” The demon slid over to stand in front of him. “I’m Tom Lucitor, prince of the underworld. An you are?” He asked. Marco took his hand and shook it meekly.
“Marco Diaz.” He responded. Tom nodded and took a little side step closer to the human.
“Well, Marco Diaz, I hope you’re enjoying my family’s party.” He started. But then he notioced how off-put Marco seemed and gave a little laugh. “I know.” He began. “The underworld can be a little much for a newcomer. Especially humans. It’s different down here.” Tom explained. Marco smiled a little, happy Tom understood.
“Yes, it’s a little rowdy.” He laughed lightly. This earned a giggle from Tom.
“Well I can assure you that you won’t get hurt down here.” He promised. “And if somebody tries to cause some trouble, just tell them you know Tom. They’ll leave you alone.” The demon said this with a smug grin. Marco laughed and rolled his eyes.
“Oh really?” He asked, and Tom nodded. “Well then I’ll just count my blessings that you showed up.” Marco spoke sarcastically.Tom smiled again and let a little laugh escape. He looked around before perking up at an idea and extending his hand.
“Would you like to dance?” Tom asked. Marco looked at the demon’s hand and blushed deeply.
“Oh uh… n-no thank you.” He mumbled. Tom’s face seemed to fall a little and Marco played with his dress. “I uh… I’m no good at dancing really. I’m not even royalty… you wouldn’t…” Marco trailed off.
“I wouldn’t what?” Tom asked. Marco chewed his lip.
“You wouldn’t wanna dance with me.” He finally said. But Tom just let a little smile cross his face and he brought his hand back. “I’m sorry, prince Lucitor, I just… I don’t like everyone looking at me and-”
“You don’t need to explain yourself, princess. And please, call me Tom.” He gave him another bow and Marco blushed lightly.
“Well only if you call me Marco. I already told you, Tom, I’m not royalty.” Marco reminded.
“You could have fooled me.” Tom shrugged. This made Marco’s entire face flush red and he looked away. Tom looked around the ballroom for a moment and perked up. “Excuse me for just a moment, Prin-Marco.” He corrected himself. Tom darted off and Marco watched where he was going, but soon lost him in the crowd. But not a second later Tom came up on Marco’s other side and handed him a flaming rose. “For you.” He grinned.
“Oh.” Marco took the flower and smiled. “Thank you.” He grinned, feeling the warmth of the fire on his face, it was nice. He held the flower in both hands and Tom took Marco by the small of the back.
“Come on, I have something I wanna show you.” He told him. Marco smiled and followed the demon prince. They left the ballroom and then they left the castle, so they were outside in the garden. It was nighttime, and very quiet.
“It’s a lovely garden.” Marco spoke, looking at the bushes and flowers. Tom nodded.
“I’m not normally allowed here but, sometimes it’s nice to get away.” He rubbed the back of his head. Marco nodded in agreement and the two sat down on the stone bench, overlooking the lake with the red, Blood moon reflecting onto the water.
“I didn’t know you had water in the Underworld. I’ve been to the lava and fire pits before, but not water.” He leaned forward.
“It’s not common.” Tom admitted. “But we thought it would make people feel more at ease during the Ball. We try and make the Underworld seem like very other dimension so people aren’t scared off so easy, but the truth is… this is a wild place.” Tom began laughing. “Too wild actually. I mean look at me! I’m the prince and I run with gangs all day. It’s not exactly what the royal child does in other places.”
“There are gangs down here?” Marco asked. Tom nodded.
“Yeah, it’s a rough place and it’s the only way some people can stay alive. But tonight is safe.” Tom promised. “It’s really special, for all demons. So the most that’ll happen is a few fights, but nothing big.” he assured, but then got really serious. “I want you to promise me you won’t come back here, on a night other than tonight. It’s dangerous unless you have an escort and I don’t wanna see you get hurt.” Tom explained. Marco nodded.
“Of course.” He agreed. “But I would love to see more of your home… perhaps you know a demon who wouldn’t mind escorting me?” He asked with a little hint in his voice. A smile crept across Tom’s face and he blushed slightly, rubbing the back of his head.
“Well I… I would love to show you around, princess.” Tom grinned. Marco laughed a little.
“I told you already, I’m not royalty.” Marco reminded.
“I know that, princess.” Tom grinned, winking. Marco blushed and looked away. The two continued looking out at the lake and the bright red moon. Marco smiled a little to himself, but looked down when he felt something rest on top of his hand. He grinned when he saw Tom was holding onto his hand gently, with a deep blush set across his face. Marco smiled and leaned over to rest his head on Tom’s shoulder. Tom’s breath hitched and he blushed deeper, but leaned into the human’s touch, squeezing his hand lightly.
