"where are we going y/n?" blade asked as i pulled him onto the deck of the ship. the stars illuminated the waves as the music pumped from inside.

"its way too crowded inside." i murmured, staring up at the sky. "id rather be out here."

"i get that." we both sat down, myself leaning back on his chest. he ran his hands through my hair, comforting me instantly. "any acceptance letters?

"no, but i got offered a scholarship in belobog." i replied, smiling. "i haven't decided whether or not ill say no."

"why would you say no?" he asked. "belobog university is a great school."

"eh, i still really want to stay here. plus herta university is an ivy league, id rather go there, even if i have to pay."

"i guess that makes sense. i havent decided what to do yet either." i pressed myself closer to him, shutting my eyes.

"im so tired already." i yawned. "tonight's been super fun. it was a really good experience."

"you're not going to dance?"

"ha! you're funny. i dont dance bladie." he said nothing, but instead pulled me up. "what are you doing?"

i was standing in front of him, the moonlight illuminating his features. he grabbed my waist and pulled me close to him. instinctively, my arms wrapped around his neck. "dance with me."

"you dance?" i asked incredulously. he shook his head.

"no, but ill dance with you. you can't go to your first high school dance and leave without actually dancing." he smiled sweetly, the most beautiful thing id seen since i first saw an oboe. we swayed to the rhythm of the music from inside the ship, the wind blowing softly.

"i wish i had your hoodie." i mumbled to him, shivering the slightest bit. he chuckled deeply, hugging me even tighter, rubbing his hands together to create warmth and cupping my cheeks.

"you're kind of cute y/n." my cheeks went bright pink, but i blamed it on his warm hands.

"so are you, bladie." i said back, grinning from head to toe. his eyes dipped down to my lips, before quickly snapping back up to my eyes.

time seemed to stop.

my breathing became heavy, as i debated my next move.

blade leaned down, his lips dangerously close. i shut my eyes and leaned in as well, finally accepting the feelings that—

both our phones rang simultaneously. we snapped out of the trance and picked up our phones.

"hello?"

"Y/N L/N WHERE IN AEONS NAME ARE YOU?" my mom. shit.

"im.. im at prom." i said confidently. from looking at blade, it seemed he was having a similar argument.

"im picking you up in five minutes, and you better be here." the line went silent.

"i... have to go." i whispered, horrified. blade nodded. "ill try and talk to you like always, but with aps and college and-"

"y/n." his voice calmed me. "ill see you."

"goodbye, blade."

"goodbye, y/n."
