"Tonight is the night, gentlemen," Tobita said while jumping up on the dresser next to Kurogiri. They both watched Toya put the finishing touches on his suit. It was a dark blue, almost navy, suit with some black and silver touches.

"I can't do this," Toya said with a cold face, but there was the slightest hint of nervousness in his voice. To him, he wouldn't know what to do or what to say. He has never felt anything like this before. Before (Y/n), he was cold to others, but know it is as if his once cold heart has melted.

"Don't act so cold!" the candle started, "You must be bold, daring!"

"Bold, daring," Toya muttered underneath his breath.

"Stay calm, everything will be swimmingly! There will be music, dancing, and romantic candle light," Tobita went off.

"It would be a good place to tell the girl how you feel," Kurogiri chimed in.

"I wouldn't know how to start," Toya pipped in, "I mean I'm not good with expressing stuff...Plus it is kinda hard when you look like this." He sighed and shook his head.

"You like the girl, don't you?" Tobita asked

"Of course I do," Toya said quickly.

"Then tell her that," Tobita said softly. Toya was going to retort, but was interrupted by the door opening to reveal Toga.

"She's ready!" she exclaimed with a slight bit of pride in her voice. Toya's shoulders tensed up, and he exhaled a shaky breath

"Go to her," Tobita said with smile to his friend.

"You look amazing, DabI!" the teapot said with excitement in her voice. This earned a 'hm' in response for Toya. The pair walked towards the staircase that lead to the ballroom. "Wait at the bottom of the stair for her. She should be out any minute!" she gave Toya a toothy smile. While the pot hopped away, Toya walked down the stairs with his grip on the rail of the staircase. Once he reached the bottom of the stairs, he tried to fix his posture to seem presentable.

'I can do this. It is just a dance,' he sighed, 'Who am I kidding? This is the dane with the person that I love...Love? Do I really love her?' The word felt so foreign to him, and he didn't know how to feel about it. Suddenly images of you flood his mind. How you would smile, and how caring and patient you were with him. You were so polite to others, yet you also stood your ground, which he loved about you. A small smile appeared on his lips, 'I do love her...'

The sound of footsteps coming for the East Wing introduced his thoughts. Toya looked up quickly towards the noise, and he fixed his posture again. From the shadows of the door frame, emerged a stunning sight. Toya's eyes widened and his lips parted slightly in awe. (Y/n) walked down stair elegantly in a (f/c) gown that went to the floor. It shimmered in the light, and it brought out your beautiful (e/c) eyes. The dress seemed to compliment your figure very well. Your hair was put in a very nice style that complements the dress well.

Once (Y/n) reached the bottom of the stairs, she cursed to Toya. Toys snapped out of his trance and bowed quickly in response, and this mad the girl laugh.

"You look beautiful, (Y/n)," Toya said trying to compose himself.

The girl giggled with a slight dust of blush on her (s/c) cheeks, "Thank you! You look handsome, as well." With that Toya extended his hand towards (Y/n), and she gladly took it. Toya lead the girl to the dining room.

"Tale as old as time..."

"True as it can be."

The pair make it to the dining room, and Toya pulls out the chair for (Y/n). She nodded a thank you and she smiled whole heatedly to Toya. This caused Toya to feel a pond in his chest.
