Lost In Time - A tale of the unknown [WILL BE CONTINUED LATER ON]

Chapter 6. The Royal Ball

[19/08/2012, 5:12PM]

Everyone was getting ready, Karsyn was in the bathroom fixing his tie. Euphoria was repeatedly knocking on the bathroom door.
"Karsyn, let me in!"
"Wait-"
Euphoria opened the door and whistled in admiration, "Soooo...anyone you're trying to impress tonight?"
"Maybe, I don't know."
"...Well, don't get too drunk tonight."
"I should be the one telling you that."
"Pffft...you wish, I don't drink-"
"YOU SURE?!" Idyllic shouted from Jolene's room.
"YEAHH!!!" Euphoria exclaimed in a loud tone.
"Sorry about that, Idyllic just thinks I have a massive crush on someone in the group, but I really don't!"
"Ah, I mean if you have a crush on someone in the group, tonight is your night to confess to them."
"Yeah...normally I don't do things like that, even on nights like this one, because this is an annual thing, it's always been a traditional to have a ball, but also I don't really want to remind my future love of how I asked them out during Romero's ball, to be honest it's emb-"
"Bourgeoisie much."
"Why do you say that?"
"Because you act like one."
Euphoria rolled his eyes at that, he stared into Karsyn's heavenly, amber eyes.
"Fix your collar."
"My collar is fine."
"I'm not going to argue with you tonight."
"Then just leave it-"
Euphoria popped Karsyn's collar and fixed it. He was looking into Karsyn's brown eyes, he felt his breath under his neck. After he was done, the door creaked. The duo saw a hand reaching over for the light switch, suddenly, the light turned off and the door shut. Karsyn and Euphoria both screamed, "AHHH!!!"
The door opened and the light turned back on, Idyllic laughed, giving Clairé a high five. Karsyn was curled up in a ball on Euphoria's lap, while Euphoria was holding onto Karsyn's waist.
"Oh my gosh! Haha...you guys are so gay."
"WE'RE NOT GAY!" they both yelled, trembling.
"If you aren't gay, then Karsyn, how come Euphoria is holding your waist like that?"
They both looked at each other, Euphoria let go of his waist and they turned crimson red.
"AGHHHHHHHH!!!!" Euphoria screamed, trying to chase Idyllic.
Clairé went up to Karsyn and smirked, he sighed and glared up at her with a stare of disapproval.
"...So I'm guessing you were in this as well?"
"Yeah Idyllic came up with the plan and I was the one who actually did it on you guys!"
"Wow...what a lovely way to ruin a night."
"Well, your night won't be ruined for long."
"Wait, what do you mean by that?"
"Well...I may or may have not asked Euphoria to dance with you!"
"WHAT?!"
"Oh, it's fine! It won't be that bad!"
Karsyn groaned in annoyance and Euphoria, still trying to capture Idyllic, heard it. He paused and stopped chasing her, he leaned against the bathroom door and ran his fingers through his slicked-back-with-gel-hair.
"What's up with him?" Euphoria questioned, eyebrows furrowed at Clairé.
"I told him about the thing."
"Ohhh...."
"It won't be that bad, Karsyn." Euphoria teased, winking at him.
"YEAH BECAUSE YOU'RE LOVERS!!!" Idyllic chanted at the top of her lungs.
Karsyn ran his fingers through his hair and covered his face.
"OH MY-"
"Stop being so doubtful and let's go already!" Euphoria said, pulling Karsyn's hand.
Karsyn got up off of the floor and smiled, but his smile wasn't like his usual smile, it was more of a I-Have-To-Live-A-Little-To-Not-Ruin-The-Moment smile.
Euphoria held Karsyn's hand and dragged him out of the bathroom.
"Let go of my hand."
"Fine." Euphoria stated, letting go of his hand.
Idyllic grinned and flashed her eyebrows, "Let's start heading! We don't want to be late to Karsyn and Euphoria's dance, right?"
Karsyn rolled his eyes. Soon, everyone was leaving, the last thing Karsyn saw before he left was Jolene grabbing his hand and muttering:
"Don't mess about too much and come back at exactly 10:30."
"Alright, alright."
"Wait! You might also need this!" Artemis yelled from the kitchen, running to the front door and handing the book to Euphoria.
"Thank you, now, I have a ball to attend-"
"Have fun!" Jolene said, shutting the door.
Everybody was already heading to the ball, leaving them. They quickly ran down the long pile of stairs and caught up with them.
"WAIT!!" They said, panting.
Euphoria looked at Karsyn's hair and pretended to vomit. He wiped the sweat droplets off of Karsyn's forehead with the sleeve of his suit.
"You seriously have to learn how to do your hair. I can't always do it for you."
"Euphhhh...we both know you love doing his hair~" Idyllic joked.
"Maybe I do, okay! His hair is just so soft..."
Karsyn nervously laughed, he began to blush, he covered his face with his hands and started to cough sarcastically:
"How about we stop talking about my hair and hurry up before we're late?"
"Fine. Karsyn and I are going a separate way from ya'll, since I'm pretty sure if we carry on mingling with you, we'll be late.
"Uh-"
Euphoria took Karsyn's hand and ran. All of the trees were decorated with white fairy lights, benches were set up and fireworks were going off.
"So, heh...are you ready for that dance?"
"Stop reminding me!"
"People will be watching us, we might drink a bit, kick things up a notch y'know."
Karsyn had never drank alcohol before, in fact, the thought of it made him sick. He nudged Euphoria, "Jolene told you not to mess around too much."
"I was joking-"
"Then stop talking about drinking."
"Fineeee...."
There was trumpets being blown from afar and that made Euphoria and Karsyn stop talking for a while. They finally came across the palace, its red stained-glass windows sparkled in the moonlight. The palace gate was open and Euphoria saw couples, husbands, wives and even lovers going inside. He pouted and a strand of his red hair drooped hung over his face. Karsyn saw him frown, "Hey, what's wrong?"
"Nothing...nothing at all!"
"You sure?" Karsyn said, slicking hair back.
"Thanks Karsyn..."
"We're here! Come on!"
They went through the gate, weird butterflies swarmed around Karsyn's stomach.
