The City Gala~Asheyes
“Please?” Ashes ‘Hades’ O’reilly begs, “I’ll buy you whatever you want to wear as long as it suits the event.” “Fine,” Gunpowder ‘Persephone’ Tim responds, sighing. “But I pick out yours too.” Ashes smiles and extends an arm, “Shall we go then?” Time smiles and takes their arm, and the two get into a car and head to the nearest place selling ball gowns and suits. “So what’s so special about this gala anyway?” Ashes shrugs, “It’s just a big party everyone important shows up to, and if you don’t go you’re publicly slandered.” Tim looks around at the gowns, “And you needed me to come why?” “Because everyone has someone to bring and I want to show off my pretty little flower.” Tim melts at the nickname and kisses Ashes cheek. After a few minutes of looking, he presents to Ashes a light pink ruffled gown with blue petals, a deep neckline, and an open back. Ashes smiles, “That would look amazing on you. Do you want to try it on?” He shakes his head and goes to pick out Ashes’ suit. He picks out a blue one with intricate patterns and the two pay and leave. Tim asks to stop by another store and gives the driver directions to a store selling jewelry and accessories. He weaves through the displays, Ashes close behind, and stops in front of the corset section. “I’m getting one, do you want one?” Ashes shrugs, “Might look better than the suit vest.” Ashes picks out a black corset and Tim gets a white one. Then Tim drags Ashes around, picking out various pieces of jewelry. He hands them a pink flower to put somewhere on the outfit and pink diamond studs. For himself, he picks out big blue teardrop earrings and a wide blue choker made of gems. The two go home to get ready, Ashes doing their makeup in pinks and Tim braiding his hair with blue flowers. Ashes picks out a suitable pair of black boots and Tim slips into some white heels. The final reveals were surprises as they walk into the same room. “You look stunning,” Ashes compliments, and Tim smiles, “So do you. Should we leave now?” Ashes nods and the two leave for the gala, knowing they’re just going to leave early anyway to appreciate each other’s beauty more privately.
