·:*¨༺ ♱✮♱ ༻¨*:··:*¨༺ ♱✮♱ ༻¨*:·
Oh Mare was nervous, his hands sweating, scratching at the back of his neck, The roses in his hands felt heavy. He seriously couldn't believe that he genuinely managed to get someone like her. To go out to prom, with him.
Veena lambert. Problem student. She would always tease him, her little 'sheep geek' as she said. The minute Mr.Nine sat the two together, she always found a way to get under his skin.
She would tug on his sleeve, play with his fingers, make the littlest comments about his love for learning.
"oh what a little nerd.."
Her tone, the way she spoke. It gave him goosebumps, his cheeks heating up while her nails would drag along his forearm.
He stood at her door, shaking hands knocking on the wood. His collar felt tighter, he swore he was sweating, his cheeks burning red.
He went to knock for a second time, the door swung open. A large man with a suit and tie on stood in front of him.
'shit. was that her dad?''
"oh uh! hello Mr lambert-!! i-"
Oh the accent was THICK. Italian perhaps? he had no clue. Suddenly his throat felt dry.
"oh uh..imhereforyourdaughter-'
He spluttered out. He held a hand out to shake, his whole body trembling. The older man's eyes were burning holes into his skull. To mare, one wrong move could have him as roadkill, veena's father had..hobbies.
"ohhh..yes you!! ah your the sweetheart lamb boy she's been gushing about all weekend!"
Mr.Lambert took a hold of mare's hand. Shaking it violently, his chest bouncing with the heavy chuckle that left his throat. Mare felt as if a weight had lifted off his shoulders, his heart rate slowing as he sighed, a grin on his face.
"it's so good to meet you sir!"
He baa'd softly as Mr.Lambert let his once trembling hand go.
"It's nice to finally put a face to the name! honestly, veena has been in her room for hours! you must be a special one! she's been talking about you non-stop! goodness I've never seen her so happy about a boyfriend before!"
Mare felt his own cheeks heat up even more, he chuckled softly, was he really that special to veena? he felt slightly lightheaded, the thought of her telling her dad about their relationship? goodness, too much for his little heart.
Mares ears perked up. He couldn't see veena just yet, her father stood in front of her, raising his hands as he gasped.
"Oh there you are my little rose!! goodness Maria tidied you right up! you look stunning!!"
"You're not embarrassing me are you!?"
"of course not my petal! just simply stating facts!!"
Mare heard her groan, Mr.Lambert glanced behind him at Mare, sending him a little smile as he moved out of the way.
Veena stood with her hands by her side. laced spider webbed gloves slid around her forearm. Her eyes tinted with black eyeshadow. eyeliner that was painted to look like spiderwebs settled on her face. Her lips dusted with her usual black lipstick. Purple jewels for earrings, a silver chain with a cross hung around her neck, the usual gemstone in the middle, nails still sharp and painted black. The bat clip in her hair was..sparkly now. Her dress was once again..per usual..black. a slit reaching her thigh. purple heels, a silver belt chain hung loosely around her hips. the top of the dress held up by two strips of black fabric.
"..take a picture. it lasts longer."
She grinned at him, sharp fangs poking at her lips as she moved towards him.
He held out the roses, she took them from his shaking hands and looked down at them.
"Oh! these are lovely..you're such a sweetie! I'll put these in my vase!!"
she gently placed them on the table beside the door, Her father gently took them and handed them to his maid, Even she smiled at the couple..
Mare baa'd in surprise as her hands gently reached his chest.
"oh well don't you just look absolutely dashing."
She giggled softly, the fluff around his collar puffing up in surprise.
He stuttered out, looking from her to her father. She watched his gaze, smiling slightly, spinning around to her father.
"we'll be back by 12 daddy!! promise!!"
She explained. Her hand reached to grab her father's. He nodded, kissing the top of her head.
"Very well! Matthew should be waiting on the drive for you both!"
Mr.Lambert chuckled as his daughter squealed happily, already halfway out the door.
Mare turned to follow but Mr.Lambert gently grabbed his wrist.
"I trust you..please look after her.."
He mumbled, a soft smile on his face. Mare nodded. patting his arm.

It was loud. People dancing and drinking. A few times mare had managed to convince veena to at least try and dance and despite her growing nerves she did. They danced together. He had the opportunity to spin her around and hold her as close as he could, Peppering kisses to her cheeks as she squealed.
He knew his teachers were watching him, Mr.Nine took full pride in the couples relationship. As he would say:
"Hah! I sat them together! and now look! I'm a total matchmaker!"
Mare watched Veena's face soften, her eyes studying his face gently. They sat at a table together, his arm wrapped around her waist.
"You look,, really pretty.."
He muttered, his hand reaching up to cup her cheek. She giggled softly, her hand placing over his.
"oh stop it..you're making me blush-"
Oh that smile of his had her heart racing.
The music changed. From quick paced to soft and slow. Mare's stomach bubbled with excitement.
He cleared his throat. Standing up and reaching his hand out too her.
That stupid mock posh voice he spoke in had veena giggling like a child.
She played into his posh act.
"oh my good sir! I never thought you'd ask!"
She let her hand slip into his, the two of them slowly sliding into the small crowd of students.
His hands on her waist, hers resting on his shoulders as they swayed softly.
Veena began, looking right up at him.
"..thank you for tonight, it's been..so much fun, I really couldn't imagine doing something like this with anyone but you.."
Oh his heart melted, Her head rested on his chest.
"Oh veena,, that's..really sweet, I couldn't imagine having anyone else in your place.."
The music came to a slow and gentle stop. The two of them pulled away, childish giggles falling from their lips.
Veena suggested. He hummed in agreement.
She led him through the double doors, into the school's large garden. Sitting down at a bench together, the air cooling them both down.
He muttered, taking her hand and lifting it to his lips.
Despite how many kisses they'd given each other..neither one of them had actually kissed via lips.
Veena acted to change this, it was a perfect night. How could she miss this opportunity?
Her hand slid up to his face, cupping his cheek, the other rested on his shoulder. He seemed to understand her actions. His hands resting on either side of her waist.
They stared at each other for a moment. Mares cheeks had begun to heat up. Even Veena's face felt warm in the cool air of the evening.
She took a breath. Leaned in.
He reciprocated almost immediately, Returning her kiss, his hands holding onto her, he didn't want to let her go.
They pulled away. Breathing heavily. Veena burst into giggles at Mares face, a deep crimson.
He pulled her in closer. Her laughter caught onto him, making him laugh.
In all honesty, they'd remember this night for the rest of their lives.
Under the moonlight, together, sharing kisses over and over again. Never growing tired of the feeling they both shared.

"I told you she'd kiss him!!! you owe me a tenner!!"
Mr.Nine cheered, flipping Mr.Hack the bird, Who simply sighed. Pulling out his wallet.
He rolled his 'eyes' handing his colleague the money.
Mr.Nine would never let this down.
He'd have to put up with this all summer.
"WERE YOU BETTING ON OUR FIRST KISS????"
