𝐌𝐨𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧 ➸ (yandere males! x fem reader!)

Chapter ⁀➷ 21

           Preparations, noise and people. Maids rushed everywhere at the same time with the mere goal of having the preparations ready in time, they cleaned every minimal spot that probably no one was going to notice, the noises of their rapid steps filled the ballroom as they talked between themselves to help each other complete a task, the room looked clean and neat, all the furnishings had very pleasant colors and the decorations were pretty much fitting for the theme of the waltz, 'night and light.' There was no doubt, people were going to be fascinated by the sight. Astro cautiously watched his people do their job, his gaze was very calculative as he searched for any kind of flaw. He has not heard about the answer of the Herniz kingdom, even if he checked almost every hour, his father always had the same words to say. "No replies." It was a rather frustrating thing to hear when his hopes refused to banish. It was foolish, assuming that the waltz was today, the small chance was just minimal.

❝It's today.❞ He sighed as soon as those words left his mouth. The red haired male that stood by his side only gave the Prince a somewhat comforting smile before excusing himself. He too had a lot things to do, most of them regarding the security of the palace for tonight, after all he wanted his friend to have a comfortable celebration without distraction. Astro gave one last observation at the preparations as he walked towards his chamber. Maids already awaited for his arrival with his chosen attire, he quickly stomped towards the bathroom and completed his task swiftly, a towel was wrapped around his hips before he stepped out of the bathing area. The female workers could not help but blush at the view even small gasps were heard in the room, quickly gaining their composure, they began to dress up their Prince. ❝Is there a tie I can wear with my attire?❞ He questioned after looking at his reflection, the suit embraced his body nicely, no doubt about that. But if he wanted to impress her, such minimal flaw could not be allowed, soon enough a red tie was wrapped around his neck, the fabric managing to highlight his delicate, yet masculine features.

❝You are dismissed.❞ He bluntly spouted, the maids waited no time at all before exiting the room in silence. Astro let out a heavy breathe, the weight on his chest unfortunately was not lifted by the action. His hues slowly and unconsciously adverted to his window, scanning the colors of the sunset, not only were they warm and light, but as the dark and cold colors decided to show up, he felt the urge to throw up. He was not nervous, don't get me wrong, he was anxious and doubtful, what if your father did not really accept the invitation and you are having a nice dinner with your family instead of accompanying him today? He tried to think positively and calm down by spending time re-reading his speech, it was short, yet it was all he wanted to inform the others. The sound of the announcer snapped him out of his concentrated state, the names of all the nobles that were invited could be heard, he took it as a cue to give one last glance at his reflection before stomping out of the room. He inspected all the faces that were now waiting in the lower ground, yet the e/c eyes he so much wanted to see were not there.
