    ------- The Night of the Ball----

     Beelzebub had insisted on escorting Aerith to the ball. It was only right,since he was her date. But, Asmodeous being Asmodeous wouldn't hear of it. He wanted to make sure Aerith was truly something to behold,and if that meant him and her arriving fashionably late, then that's what it was gonna be.

     Beel reluctantly left the house with the rest of his brothers, nervously wondering what Asmo was doing with the human he adored so much.

Asmo had Aerith sitting in a chair near his vanity mirror, finishing up her makeup and hair.

She sat there insecure, wrapped in a body towel, as she asked.
"Hey Asmo, why are you doing this for me?"

As he applied the blush, he smiled at her saying,"Why not? Obviously you don't feel anything more than a platonic love for any of us,except Beel. So, if I can help with that in any way, I will. "
"I...I don't lo...,"she started, flustered,as Asmo interrupted her.
"Oh please, honey...whether you admit it or not, at some point during your short stay here, you've fallen head over heels in love with my brother."

   She couldn't admit or deny it. Not out loud...not even to herself at that moment. And there was a lump in throat, and weight on her chest as she thought about.

Asmo put his finishing touches on her appearance,  and smiled. "I'm going to go get myself ready in the bathroom. So, go on and put your dress on,and then I'll help with some accessories. "

A heartfelt smile graced Aerith's lips, as she told Asmo,"Thank you."
After Asmo had went to ready himself for the ball,Aerith dropped the towel,looking in disdain at her thick and full figure.

"Why in the three realms does he want me to go to this thing. I'm just going to embarrass him. But, I still don't have a choice but to at least show up for a minute.  I wish I looked as perfect as Beel...", she thought, puzzling doubt gracing her features.

   She tried her best to shake the thoughts away,and finish getting ready.
She looked over at the beautiful dress Asmo had picked out for her,lying on his bed. The plum color,drop shoulder design,the crossed ribbon tie in the back.
