Shall We Dance?
--- @pk-lovely ♥
Though Ness thinks that he looks irresistible enough the way he is, his mother knows what is best for him and, in fact, it’s no surprise to see her busily fumbling with the ribbon around her son’s neck only to add that extra charm that was missing. He’s sixteen years old and he doesn’t feel shame in having his mother tie a ribbon around the collar of his white shirt, worn underneath this expensive-looking black tuxedo. Though he thinks that this accessory is pointless in the end, it does add a fancier side to his outfit if he must be honest -- but he doesn’t like how it tightens around his neck ; he’s always loosening it a little by pulling it with his finger.
“Thanks ma, but - really?” it'd be silly to admit that he's nervous, but at the same time he’s excited ; it's a mixture of feelings but there is sweat on his palms and across his face, pointing out that, c'mon, he's feeling tense. His mother nods and adds her own comments about how handsome he looks and how her baby boy has grown into a man. He swears it's like this every time there is a ball at school, but the red on his cheeks and the welcoming warmth make one assume that he appreciated her kind words. He holds her hands and gently whispers a "No, that's enough." the moment she reaches for his collar to button it all the way up ; jeez, mom! He knows that she wants it to be perfect -- he also does want it to be perfect and unfortgettable, but he looks fine as he is, enough decorations! He didn’t even style his hair --- it’s not necessary, he’s fine!
One last look at the long mirror and the woman is already happily squealing, so much that she wants to take pictures ... many pictures ( hey, he swears she’s like this every time he wears formal clothes for a specific event ) . In fact, before he could say “Maybe we should wait for Lucas to come downstairs” , she’s already off to grab the camera ; oh, I will take pictures of you two together as well, but first you. On next family reunion, he can already see her showing the pictures to everyone ... uh ...
Please, Lucas. Don’t take too long, come save him!!
