Tangled Up in You
Twisted Halloween Event: Azul Ashengrotto
Costume: Mummy (his event outfit)
Azul had been staring at the clock all night, he had hardly been enjoying the party he was throwing. Usually he would be all over the floor, mingling and building good will but his mind was other things. "Jade... how are..."
"The refreshments? Same as when you asked 15 minutes ago." He gave his usual polite smile, hiding the irritation. Azul sighed, pushing up his glasses and pinching the bridge of his nose. "Sorry... It's just- Floyd!" Azul called out in surprise as he saw the trouble some eel walking past. "You're supposed to be watching the door."
"Ehh? That got boring." Floyd shrugged walking up next to Jade. "Besides, the special guest arrived so it doesn't matter anymore right?" He and his brother gave a taunting grin as Azul's face filled with annoyance before it quickly flushed with embarrassment and nerves.
"When did they get here? Wh-why didn't you tell me? Where are they now?" He sputtered frantically, to the twins amusement.
"They're waiting for you at the bar." Jade handed him two glasses of Spiced Cider. "It's only been a few minuets."
"You knew!" "That's not important right now. It's time to go greet your date." Jade and Floyd together pushed Azul through the kitchen doors and out into the party, and then standing in the way of the door so he couldn't come back in.
"There you are!" You smiled at Azul when finally approached. "I'm sorry I was late, costume malfunction. You look nice, a skeleton? Or mummy?" You pondered reviewing the white tattered shirt with black underlying. Your eyes lingered for an extra moment on the leather harness on his chest. Your mind flashed to an intriguing thought of him wearing just the harness on his chest, tied up in his own bandages. Those tight pants with the bulge of his crotch straining against the fabric. You brought a hand to your mouth to hide as you bit your lip. You looked away a moment to regain you composure. Of course something like that wouldn't happen, you two had hardly done anything intimate, let alone romantic. You didn't even know if he returned your feelings, of attraction or lust. "It looks very nice." You flashed a smile and Azul could feel his heart beat faster. "You look very good as well, like an angel."
"I was going for dove." You sighed, saddened that the idea of the costume you worked so hard on didn't get through and misinterpreting the intent of his statement. Azul was quick to recover. "Apologies. I'm still not too familiar with land birds. You look beautiful either way." He gave a charming smile as he offered you a glass. You felt your cheeks burn, as you managed to process the compliment. That was good sign right?
The two of you went on chatting about school and commenting on the party. "I shouldn't be keeping you. I'm sure there are others at this party you want to talk too. And I want to walk around a little." You opened your arms for a hug which Azul happily accepted though he rather would have continued to spend time with you. He enjoyed it but made it brief to not be too weird, however when he was pulling away he felt a resistance from his sleeves. "Ah... I think my bandages got caught in your wings." The two of you were so close, this was so embarrassing. Both of you started turning red. Azul tried pulling harder but you could feel it tugging at your wings, "Stop stop, don't rip it!" He immediately stopped and sighed. "This is awkward..." He kept his face turned away from you. "My office is just around the corner I have scissors in there."
"Okay." Awkwardly the two of you shuffled into his office.
