When Nyx went back to his current mansion, Gold hurried to his side and informed him of the arrival of the dresses and that he put the box on his bedroom bench.
Nyx immediately hurried to his room to find a black box which had his suit, chosen by his queen *cough* future queen.
Opening the box, there was a note saying,
'Try it on once and let me know if there are any changes to be made.' -Ivy
Inside was a bluey grey waistcoat and formal pants, a belt, a fragrance they had discussed to match and a brooch made of diamond and gold carved into a dragon.
*Nyx's POV*
When she had suggested not to wear a shirt, I was surprised and reminded of our first meeting where I acted like a jerk. I even thought she was upset about my behavior that day to remind me again but the slight blush creeping up her neck and the tiny little smile tugging her cheeks which she was desperately trying to suppress said otherwise.
Seeing the dragon brooch, I can feel my dragon on his knees and hear his roars of happiness.
This damned creatures, can't he be calmer.
'Not when our queen chose such a precious gift for us.'
Of course! I can't believe she thought of pairing my suit with a dragon brooch. The dragon is not only my company but my keen and I can't let go off this feeling tugging my heart.
She really is full of surprises. She has her own of caring and you will never know if you don't pay attention to such minute details. It reminds me of the gentleness Engel associated to her. Where is that girl now?
"Wow, she sure knows how to flirt."
I was so lost in my thoughts; I didn't sense Theon enter my room and startled me by speaking suddenly.
"don't look surprised, didn't you say, you both decided what to wear together." Theon sneered and purposely fell on the bed backwards.
"We did. But this wasn't included. It was a little thought she put in for me." I smiled softly.
"AHHHHH! Don't scare me like that by smiling out of nowhere... And she didn't give that to you cause you're a dragon but because of your company. She doesn't even know who you are."
"Shut up. Are you prepared for the event tomorrow?"
"Aye, aye captain!" Theon gave me a salute before putting one leg over the other as he completely covered my bed with his huge body.
I left the room after giving Theon instructions and went to my home office to reduce some Gold's burden. Or maybe increase them. He doesn't need to be there for the even anyway.
~ Evening of the event
I drove to Ivy's apartment all dressed up and am now in front of Ivy's door, patiently waiting for her to open it and let me in. my wait came to an end I finally saw my queen.
She was dressed in a similar bluey gray colored A-line dress with a deep V neck. The only difference in color of my suit and her gown was that she had a gradient effect throughout the A-line and the top had silver jewels.
She wasn't completely ready yet since she was wearing an earring only on one ear and the other was in her hand. Nonetheless, she is beyond what words can describe.
"You look lovely." Her simple yet short words broke the chain of my admiration, yet I continued admiring her as she moved aside to let me in.
"Not more than you." I whispered breathlessly as I walked in. her apartment was amazing but here seemed to be another familiar scent mixed with-
"What's taking so long in answering the door?"
To say I was shocked would be an understatement. What the hell is Engel doing here?!
"Oh! So, you're her date?"
Before I could even reply, Ivy stepped in.
"Just give me a couple minutes to get ready." She said to me before walking straight into a room which I presume is hers.
I looked over at Engel who simply winked before following in. As soon as he entered, Ivy closed the door shut and I could hear hushed voices but nothing more even with my hearing.
'It is all Engel!' my dragon roared loudly, and I bet Engel heard it since he covered their voices completely and a minute later, Ivy came out all ready to leave.
"I am all done." She informed me before taking the greyish silver clutch on the coffee table.
"Perfect. Let's go then." I replied, not wanting her to spend more time with Engel at all costs, though I couldn't see him anymore I could sense his presence somewhere.
Reaching the venue, I handed the car keys to the valet before whispering to Ivy that I will open her door.
Rushing around the car, I opened Ivy's door and gave her my hand which she gladly accepted and held on firmly. As we walked inside, she slowly wrapped her hands around my arm and I could hear.
Before we could turn towards the hall, I pulled Ivy to another corner.
"what's wrong?"
"You don't need to force yourself, okay." I have to make sure she's comfortable with me.
"I know."
She looked at the hall's direction and I tugged her arm, making her turn back to me questioningly.
I put my hand in my pocket and my closed palm in front of her before opening it.
"I didn't wanna ruin the suit so if you may…?"
"Sure." Ivy smile as she took the brooch from my open palm and put it on my waistcoat perfectly.
"All done." I glanced down at the brooch and then at her before smiling. It was mall but she could see it since she looked at my lips before smiling back.
Does she know how close we are right now. If she did, she would run away for sure.
I sneakily wrapped my arms around her waist and puller closer before leaning down and whispering into her ear a small thank you.
*End of POV*
"The last I checked; you were single."
A voice broke through Nyx and Ivy's 'moment.'
