The Lost Queen (Druig x OC) (Eternals)

Chapter 28: Finishing Touches

Reina reemerged 2 minutes later with the dress on and it fit her perfectly. She stepped back into Sersi's room, where everyone was waiting for her to come back out. Once they saw her, their jaws dropped. Allison started clapping and cheering quietly, her excitement becoming too much to hold in as she held her hands over her mouth.

"You look great, young one," Thena said, causing Reina to look confused at the name but brushed it off as Hela and Loki pulled her over to the vanity where the makeup and hair products had been laid out. She sat down in front of the mirror as Allison and Kingo started to discuss how to do her make up and hair. She started tuning them out, not caring much for those kinds of things, having never worn makeup and either leaving her hair straight or putting it up in a ponytail. She closed her eyes and just waited for them to start until she overhood Kingo mention that they should put on acrylic nails.

"Absolutely not" Reina's eyes flew open and quickly darted towards Kingo,"No nails!"

"Why not? You would look great with nails on."

"You can paint my nails but no acrylics."

"Fine," Kingo says in a defeated tone and looks through the colors that they brought, picking out a subtle gold shade. He holds it up wordlessly to Riena and she nods. Kingo starts painting Reina's nails while Allison and Sersi start to debate whether or not they should curl or straighten Reina's hair, something she wasn't exactly looking forward to but it made them happy so she went along anyway. Eventually they decided on having small curls and Sersi started to curl Reina's hair while Hela started to do her makeup.

A long 40 minutes later, her nails were dry, her hair was done as was her makeup. Looking in the mirror, she had to admit that she did look good. Hela did amazing mimicking the old makeup that she used to wear during royal balls with a deep red smokey eye and bright red lipstick.

"You look stunning!" Allison said with excitement.

"You do look wonderful," Thena commented

"Just like balls back on Asgard, you look like a queen that will cut your throat," Loki snickered.

"That's exactly what I am," Reina says with a smirk. Kingo excused himself to see how the others were doing with the set up. 2 minutes later he came back with a wide smile.

"Soooo, everything is set up and ready for your's and Druig's date." Kingo claimed, pulling Reina up from her seat, giving her a quick glance over to make sure everything was perfect. "Wonderful! Everything's perfect. Are you ready?"

"Yeah," Reina states simply as she walks out of the room.

"Have fun!" Hela called out before Reina closed the door. She walked down the long hallway, the heels she borrowed from Allison clinking against the stone floor, announcing her location to anyone in the vicinity. Once she reached the end of the hallway, she turned left down the final hallway that led to the meeting room. Since the room has no door on them, she could see in. The room was lit up in smooth candle light with a table covered in a white cloth with plates, candles and red, orange and yellow flowers on the top. Walking into the room, she looked around for Druig. Looking to the left, She saw Druig nervously pacing. He was wearing a well fitting suit with dress shoes. Despite how loud the heels were, he didn't seem to notice her enter as he continued to pace while looking at the floor, oblivious to everything around him, including Reina until she spoke, her voice emphasizing the smirk that grew on her face the more she watched him.

"Well don't you look fancy?"
