Be My Boyfriend (Your Boyfriend Fanfiction)

Chapter 7

Note for old readers: There have been changes in the story. 1. The chapter that was named "Quite a while ago" is now named "Prologue" is now placed at the start (before Chapter 1, that was previously known as "The Happiest Day of His Life"). 2. The chapters will no longer have separate names. Now they will only be numbered. I apologise for the inconvenience and hope these changes will not ruin the experience.

Now, enjoy the new chapter!

It was 15 minutes past 7 p.m., yet, there were no signs of Pei. Peter tried to stay as calm as possible while standing against the wall near "Bloom's" entrance and tapping his usual black pointy toe shoes.

Though this isn't a date or some kind of celebration, Peter still got himself a navy blue button-down shirt and a black tie from a second hand clothing store nearby. If he would  have come in his usual vest and sweater, that would make him jump out of the crowd, which was not his goal at all.

People, mostly in pairs, were entering the establishment. Some people came in groups of four. Everyone seemed to be excited to celebrate the 5 year anniversary of "Bloom". Who would have thought that in a town like this people would be so excited for a dance party in a quite small restaurant?

Peter watched the crowd enter the restaurant and sighed slightly relieved. Thankfully, Y/N and TK haven't come yet, so that's good. Still, Pei deserves a punch in the face. They can come any moment now. If Peter won't be able to find a good spot to see Y/N and TK, this whole operation is going to crash down like a board game tower, which is already standing on one block at the base

Peter lifted his arm and tried to fix up a button on his sleeve when the princess herself ran up to him and then stopped to get some air.

"You're late," Peter said, not lifting his eyes off of his sleeve.

"S-Sorry..." Pei stuttered and she stood up straight and fixed her hair and bun, "I was caught up with getting ready, I missed my bus..."

Peter watched Pei while she was trying to get her breath back to normal and made sure everything was fine. She was wearing a white tea length dress and soft blue platform shoes, which fit perfectly with her new white masquerade mask with small blue flowers.

"You know, we're going to a dance party, not a carnival. Maybe you could take the mask off at least once?" Peter asked with crossed arms.

Pei shook her head.

"I'm not taking it off. It's for your own safety."

Peter raised his eyebrow and then snickered: "And what will happen? I'll die?"

"No," she shook her head, "But others might and the whole plan will be ruined. I'm not risking it."

"Whatever..." Peter rolled his eyes and looked at the entrance. More and more people were entering the restaurant. He had no clue where TK and Y/N were at, but if they won't come, they might not have a table to sit at, "Let's move."

Peter headed inside and Pei was following closely behind him. Inside seemed a lot bigger than you could have thought at first glance from the outside. The dining area was big and spacious. As they entered, it was clear that the owners were serious about making this dance party into a nice celebration as if it was a ball or something. All of the tables were moved more to the sides to free the dance floor in front of a small stage on which the invited local musicians were already playing some nice tunes and songs that were perfect for dancing in pairs or small groups. Though, neither Peter, nor Pei had ever visited the restaurant on any other ordinary night, it was clear that this was made to celebrate. On the white walls there were dark red paper garlands and next to them were some white and gold balloons. All of the tables were covered with white tablecloths and on each of them there was a small vase with a red rose and a candle. The candlelight was more for the atmosphere, since all of the lights were on anyway.
