@gcminio contd from x
he probably never spent so much damn time on his hair as he did before this night. He had too much nervous energy, normally he’d go and do something to get it out but there wasn’t much he could do.
the benefits of being a head boy. Making sure things ran smoothly, and adding to the top of it that he’d be on a....well date ....was it a date? it was his intention but they were friends so maybe she didn’t think that?
he had finally gotten the guts to ask her for this thing and now he couldn’t even tie this stupid tie right because of these nerves. Eventually figuring it out he was down doing what he had to do as Head boy before he could properly enjoy himself....if his heart would stop hammering that was.
Most of it was a blur until he saw her. He honestly forgot to breathe for a few seconds. “not the dress.” he muttered
just you. Always
like he could actually say that without stumbling his words.
he could feel the blood rush to his face when she complimented him and he smiled. “thanks, figured if i was going to do it might as well do it right, right? “
he felt like he was staring too much and felt a little awkward. he cleared his throat. “looks like we won’t need to do much, we can enjoy ourselves for once.” he psyched himself up in his head. he probably should have done it already but it took him a second before he finally took a step forward and offered her his arm. “shall we?” damn that sounded a lot better in his head than how that came out.
