You're in the bathroom sitting on the floor with Cumulus, she's trying to calm you down.
Panic attacks seem to be a common theme with you lately.
She gets up suddenly running to the dorm door, swinging it open with force, "Get in here and help me" she yells.
You feel like you're gasping for air. He kneels down in front of you, the trick he used last time not working, he glances at Cumulus, who bitting her nails in a panic.
He scoops you up and squeezes you, hard. The shock of it grounding you and making you breathe in properly.

"What is going on with you?" He mumbles holding you still.
"I'm fucking terrified!" You whisper aggressively holding onto him.
He holds you by the shoulders, "I need you to try and keep your cool, you cant panic like this during the ritual".
You narrow your eyes. "I cant control it!" You yell pushing him off you and standing up, the shakes taking over.

He stands up facing you, "Well learn! You're not the only one thats scared!" he yells angrily.
His face immediately drops at the look on your face. "Fuck, amore mia, mi dispiace tanto, sono uno stronzo. I'm so sorry" He mumbles quickly.

You stare at him in shock for a moment, how could you have been so selfish? Of course they are scared too. You throw your arms around him. You hear his muffled "I'm sorries" from the crook of your neck, he pulls back, "You're shaking?". 
You nod, "I dont know how to control that" you smile. He groans "I'm so sorry". 
"Shut up spaghetti boy".

"You probably need a drink!" Cumulus yells from the dorm.
"Why are you still here?" Copia calls back.
"This is my roo- ugh fine" She gets up and walks out.

Copia is staring at your lips, he leans in carefully. One hand on the small of your back pressing you closer, the other tangled in your hair, pressing his head against yours.
"I know how to get you to relax" he whispers, his lips grazing yours as he speaks.
You eyes dart up to his, your breath caught in your throat. Any words that you might have said caught in a fog not making their way to your mouth. His kiss sending sparks through you. He wanders backwards slowly taking you into the dorm.

Cumulus plonks herself down on a couch in the rec room. "Wheres C and y/n?" Terzo asks her.
She raises a brow at him. "What? Right now?" He asks impressed.
Cumulus laughs, "They were arguing then hugging and i left. Satan knows they both need a good...." She trails off at Terzo laughing.
"Copia!" he pops the P as he claps, "Genius".
Terzo glances at Cumulus "I mean, gross, thats my sister" he coughs.
She snorts with laughter looking back down at her magazine.
"I should go find Astrid" Terzo mumbles hopeful.
"Leave the poor girl alone" Cumulus says to her magazine.

~~~~~~

Friday the seniors have the day off from school work to prepare for the Luna Ignis and the Ball. 
"What are you throwing in the fire?" Sodo asks Terzo.
"What would happen if i threw you? As a fire Ghoul would you be able to just walk out?".
Copia chuckles. Sodo looks at Terzo wide eyed "Ive never thought of that!".
You laugh at them being idiots, happy to just be relaxing with your friends and not worry about any approaching deaths.

"What are you going to write to throw in the fire?" Copia asks you. 
You look at him, "Nothing, i'm going to bring my workbook and throw that into the fire". He takes your hand and kisses it, "Smart". 
"What do you want to end?" You ask him. He thinks for a moment, "I'm not sure yet".

After dinner the girls drag you away to get ready, they're all sitting around in their dresses waiting for you. You walk out feeling weird and uncomfortable. They all have their hair done and make up piled onto their faces. 
"I said no docs!" Cumulus sighs shaking her head at you. 
You look at her and pout. "Where are they?" She asks looking around for your other shoes.
"Under my bed" you groan. She laughs bringing them out and handing them to you.
You sit on your bed putting the shoes on.

Sunshine is already attacking your hair, you mumble irritated at her. "Trust me" She laughs. 
She brushes your hair into a sleek and simple bun at the nape of your neck. 
Cumulus holds a make up brush, "Trust me?". You glance at the brush and then her, "No!" You scoff.
She rolls her eyes and does your make up. Its a fancier version of what you usually do but she's used a little bit of red to match your dress, and red lipstick.
You look at in the mirror and then at her, "Thats really pretty".
"Yes, you are!" She smiles. 

The girls start filing out of the room, "I just need to grab my earrings".
You walk into the bathroom and grab them off the sink, putting one in as you walk, taking your workbook off your bed, shoving it under your arm, you walk out the door putting the other earring in. You close the door behind you, looking up and suddenly you are face to face with Copia who is beaming at you.

Your jaw drops, his hair is slicked back and he's wearing a red suit, with a black shirt. The jacket has tails, it is tight in all the right places. His laugh brings you back to earth "My eyes are up here amore" he points to his face. He's wearing black leather gloves, you're suddenly weak at the knees.
He grabs your hand and spins you slowly. "Perfezione assoluta", he kisses your hand making you giggle. "You look incredible in that dress, non vedo l'ora di togliertelo". He winks at you.
You narrow your eyes at him only making him laugh more. 

"I have something for you" He hands you a box the size of his hand.
You open it. "Its your watch?".
He nods "Sì, i thought about getting you your own, but then id miss how you always reach over to me" he shrugs rolling up a sleeve, you place the watch around his wrist again laughing. "So, it's yours, but it's on me".
You raise your head up slowly to look at him "Don't make me cry the girls just did my make up!".
He laughs. "I have one more thing, since i know you wouldn't want to wear a corsage-"
"C, stop, you didn't have-"
"Shh!" He holds out a longer box this time. It's a delicate gold chain that matches the ring. He clips it around your wrist. "When did you-?" 
"Do you remember Cumulus asking you to go out with us one weekend? Its when you were doing your disappearing trick" He grins.
You groan at him. "Well, thats when". He holds out his arm for you. "Ready?". 

You loop your arm through his, he leans over and kisses your cheek making you blush.
