Chapter 6

You've never been to a masquerade ball before, so you couldn't help but be fascinated with everything you saw. It felt like a dream. The palace, people dancing, the music. It was beautiful. Noé and Domi were dancing with each other. They looked good together you thought to yourself and Domi looked beautiful. She was wearing an off shoulder purple dress that had white details on it.

Vanitas stared at you with a grin on his face. He couldn't help but think how cute you looked admiring everything around you. "I thought you said you weren't that kind of person?"

Almost immediately you punched him on his arm. "Ouch!" He shrieked.

"Let me have my 'i'm in a fairytale' moment, asshole."

"Alright, alright." He laughs while caressing his arm. He looks at you again with a soft smile. "How about actually participating in the fairytale instead of standing here gawking."

"W-what do you mean i'm not going to socialise with anyone here, thank you very much."

"That's not what I mean Ma Chéri." He leans near your ear and whispers. "Dance with me." You looked at him like he just talked to you in another language. "What?"

He grabs your hand and tries to pull you on to the dance floor.

"V-vanitas what are you doing, i- i can't."

"You can't what?" He asks laughing while still trying to pull you on to the dance floor. When he suddenly sees your face. You were staring at the ground with an embarrassed look on your face. "I-i don't know how to dance, Vanitas."

Of course she can't. She spend half of her life locked up, how stupid can I be? Vanitas thought to himself.

Vanitas closed up to you still holding your hand. You were still staring at the ground when suddenly with his other hand Vanitas placed his finger under your chin and turns your head towards him. "I will teach you. Now come!" Pulling you again and this time you followed.

He then pulls you closer to him. "Alright, now put your other hand on my shoulder and I will put mine on your waist." You do what he says and then he did and puts his hand on your waist. You could feel your heartbeat rapidly pounding in your chest, but you told yourself it was because of the moment. Your other hand was wrapped with his. In some way it gave you a sense of comfort.

"You just have to follow my lead, okay? Listen to the music follow the rhythm and come a little bit closer to me." With that he pulls you by your waist. You let out a surprised shriek. You were suddenly much closer to him. Both of you looked in to each others eyes. "And at last try not to step on my foot." Vanitas says with a raised eyebrow and a smug look on his face.

You chuckled. "I won't promise you anything i'm not sure about." He smiles at your comment.

Vanitas starts dancing and you try to keep up with him but you can't help but feel tense and you couldn't keep up. You were afraid that people were looking at you and thinking what the hell you were doing here.

Vanitas quickly tries to pull you out of your thoughts. "You are overthinking [Y/N]. Okay close your eyes and just listen to the music. Follow my lead. Don't think about anything but the music controlling your body and of course—" He leans towards your ear and whispers "Me guiding you, close your eyes [Y/N]."

With that you slowly close your eyes. Trying not to think about the fact that his breath hit your ear and a little bit of your neck, because you knew it would make your cheeks bright red again. Everything went dark and you just focused on the music flowing in to your ears and Vanitas his hands, one wrapped around your hand and the other on your waist.
