The day for the ball arrived.

Wrath was nervous. He was pacing a bit while waiting for Marisol, Sloth was standing beside him, fixing his cuffs,

"Wrath? Stop pacing"

"I'm nervous" Wrath huffs at his brother, glaring at Sloth a bit who just looks unaffected by his brothers potential temper.

"Trust me, I know, I'm sure everyone knows" Sloth huffs at Wrath, going over to straighten his tie, "In fact? I'm certain everyone in the Kingdom knows"

"...I'm not that bad" Wrath grumbles, looking away so that Sloth can't meet his eye, his brother continuing anyways,

"It'll be fine"

Wrath didn't get a moment to respond, instead, his breath was taken.

Marisol had walked in. Her dress hugged her frame, a shimmery shawl wrapped around her shoulders making her sparkle as she moved. Her dark hair was curled even more and her makeup was simple, accentuating how beautiful she was.

Wrath felt his mouth go dry, even dryer as she walked up to him, looking shy.

"Hi Mike" Marisol whispered softly, looking up at him through her eyelashes a bit. Wrath wondered if she knew what she did to him.

"Hey Mari" Wrath said softly back, taking in her gorgeous dress again, "...You look incredible"

"You do too" she says softly, looking at Wrath with a small smile. He offers her a hand,

"Are you ready then?" He asked,

"I suppose" She says, taking Wraths hand in her own, she looks at Sloth, smiling, "Hi Bruce"

Sloth smiles, bowing to Marisol, "Hello my lady" he says politely, making Marisol giggle a bit as she walks off with Wrath.

"They'd better kiss after this"

Sloth looks over at Greed. Their sister looking rather annoyed as she glares daggers in Wrath's direction.

"I'm sure they will" Sloth said with a hum, "Have you seen Selina?"

"She's still getting ready" Greed said, shrugging and looking up at Sloth, "...but speaking on if people are dating, are you and Selina-"

"For me to know, you to wonder" Sloth said with a grin and a wink, "let's focus our attention to our lovely guest of Hell and his infernal stubbornness, shall we?"

And with that, he walks off.

He does agree with Greed though, Wrath and Marisol had better kiss.
