"whom will you hold  in the fleeting world with your tiny hands proud maid?"

[𓍼ഒଘ✧⋆ǂ⋆﹅๑, ✦⋆﹅﹅𓂅⊹ꕤଘଘ𓂅.]

she stood on the balcony, gripping the railings harshly.

parties were never her thing, despite having hosted many balls,
dinners, and events in her time.

she looked towards the view, 
the sea took a deep navy colour,  the sky mirrored it's colours,
lighting up with shades of azure from the light of the swarm of stars above, 
the moon was naught but a thin slice; the waxing crecent moon hung above the ocean.

bella...

the quiet spectre of his voice pulled her out of intense thoughts.
 
his freckled face held a grin as he saw her by herself,
trapping her in a warm kiss filled with overflowing passion.

she laughed when they pulled apart,
fixing his messy brown hair with her hands.

what was that for?

he shrugged, interwining his hands with his and pulling her close:
waltzing to the phantom notes the music playing inside the castle left behind,
she smiled fondly at him, stifling laughs as he pulled the most "serious" face he could muster.

they stood like that for what felt hours, long after the music stopped playing,
a moment of pure simplicity, they'd forgotten who they were in that second:
she wasn't a ruler, he wasn't her royal advisor.

they were just two kids in love, 
he pulled her in for another innocent kiss.

...how she longed to be in his arms again.

"bella?"

bella...

she turned around.

"bella."

bella..

"fionan?"

"sorry, no, it's edmund."

edmund's heart seemed to skip a beat in that moment,
he didn't know if  it was be cause he saw her look at him so endearingly
or because she mistook him for someone else.

she shook her head slightly, pulling the skin on her face with her hands.

"sorry."

he shook his head.

"why are you here?"

"why are you?"

she looked at him.

"i don't really like parties."

 he sighed, looking to the night sky with her.

"they expected me to dance, I can't dance."

"i could teach you how..."

he snapped his head towards her.

"I'm sorry is that weird?"

she said in a panicked voice, seeing his eyes widen like saucers.
he, however, quickly shook his head no.

she grabbed his hand in hers and layed her hand on his shoulders,
he copied her, placing his other hand on her shoulder,
but as quickly as he placed it was placed it left,
shyly retracting his hand when belladonna  laughed a little.

"no! keep it there!"

he looked at her with feigned mistrust,
and she placed her hand on his waist,
leaving heat behind on his shoulder where it had previously been.

she counted the steps and led them.
he constantly stepped on her feet, 

at first he would apologize, but she would quickly assure him,
laughing with him each time.

they later pulled apart,
opting to look out the balcony and chat about nothing and everything at the same time.

A/n:
i don't know how to feel about this one but it's okay this is JUST the start of the romantic interactions between bella and edmund <3
