Wiping a bead of sweat that lingered on your brow, you carefully exited the dance floor, cautious as to not stumble on your own feet.

It had been nearly twenty minutes since the three of you entered the large dance floor. As you joked and danced, you had paid close attention to the surrounding area.

However, you had no luck in spotting any suspicious figures; you hadn't even noticed anything abnormal.

You knew it was only a matter of time until
you encountered the demon—or, at least you assumed. Maybe you'd get lucky, and a demon wouldn't show up.

At least it would save you the trouble of having to fight in a dress and heels.

"You're lucky I held back," You mumbled, "If it weren't for these damn heels, I would've easily won that battle."

Eli snorted, running a hand through his tousled, chocolate brown tufts, "Yeah, right. I totally won, either way! Who knew dancing to classical music was so easy?"

"You did the goddamn worm," Zenitsu deadpanned, "You looked like a spaz. You're pathetic."

"Just admit it," Eli scoffed, walking ahead of the two of you. He pivoted on his heel, walking backward, "You guys are just sore losers!"

After being accompanied by silence, Eli cupped his ear with his hand, "Come on! I can't hear you! Admit it!"

Shoving your way past him, you feigned ignorance, turning to Zenitsu. You pointed at one of the chairs, "Hey! Look at the.. um— the chairs! So cool! Right, Zenitsu?"

He played along, nodding to your words, "Ah! Yeah, they are! But," Zenitsu pointed to the chandelier, "(Y/N)-chan.. have you seen the chandelier?"

Exasperated, Eli threw his hands up in defeat, dropping himself onto one of the nearby chairs, "Fine! I get it! Now, shut up!"

A light chuckle slipped past your lips as you sat beside Eli, crossing your arms as you continued to provoke him, "Somebody's a bit bitter now, huh?"

Zenitsu slid into a chair alongside you, "Oh, definitely," he instigated, "Not surprising, though—considering he's such an attention seeker!"

"I'm not an attention—!"

"Don't even try to deny it," You interrupted, shooting him a knowing look, "You love being the center of attention."

"It's annoying—honestly, it's torture having to be in your presence," Zenitsu added.

Hoshi, who resided on your shoulder, released a small chirp of agreement. She skittered down onto your lap, nudging your hand with her forehead; a sign of her craving your affection.

You smiled, gently dragging your fingertip across her small body.

"See? Even Hoshi agrees! She has common sense," You added.

"It's true!" Zenitsu replied, "Hugh doesn't have common sense, so really.. it all checks out— GAAH!!"

Abruptly, Zenitsu fell off his chair. On all fours, he looked to the ground—his entire body shaking due to fear. "MY KNEES!" He exclaimed, "ALL MY FEAR IS IN MY KNEES!!"
