"There you go, Senji-sama, you're all set for tonight. The suit fits you perfectly." One of the maids runs her hands over the suit one last time to avoid any creases.
"Huh, thanks." I look at myself in the mirror, somewhat afraid to move with an outfit like that.
They bowed and then left the room without a sound, leaving me alone to face the mirror twice my size, allowing me to see the suit tailor-made for me. A dark blue suit, with a small silver bar on the upper torso bearing the House of Gremory symbol, a black shirt, dark blue pants and smooth black shoes. I don't dare touch it, or even move much, because I can see and feel that this outfit costs a small fortune.
"Aren't I a little too young to be wearing this kind of clothing?" I wonder, moving my arms uncomfortably.
"There's no age to be well-dressed Senji." A familiar voice is heard.
I turn towards the bedroom entrance, to see Rias' head protruding from the doorway. When our eyes meet, she smiles and enters the room, standing next to me to inspect me.
"Maybe... But... I'm still uncomfortable with it. It's the first time I've worn something so expensive..." I sigh, before turning to her. "Did you finish getting ready early?"
"Yes, so I thought why not go and see my lovely servants, and you're the only one who finished. I got lectured by the maids who were preparing Akeno and Kiba, so I came to take refuge here, Fufu." She giggles.
"...I see, you're really in a good mood." I say, seeing her amused by my reaction.
"Of course I am, this party is for us and our victory, not this damn marriage." She proudly exclaims. "But let's forget about that for a second." Rias steps back and spins around, presenting her dress. "How do you find me?"
Rias wears a pale pink dress, highlighting her long red hair. The dress encases her curves perfectly, showing off all her beauty. The top is rolled up, leaving her shoulders bare, and the bottom of the dress falls diagonally, leaving her right lower leg bare. And she's wearing white heels.
I'm speechless, looking her up and down, not knowing what to say, I can feel my cheeks blushing, but I ignore it, comptemplanting the one who is considered the most beautiful girl in Kuoh, standing right in front of my eyes. My gaze returns to her face, and I can see that she too has flushed cheeks, but above all a smile of satisfaction emerges. She moves closer and leans in, her face close to mine.
"What's up? What do you think?" She asks me in a playful tone.
"Well, um, you look, well I mean, you look great. No, more than that, I mean..." I stutter, not knowing what to say.
I notice some make-up too, her lips are redder, her eyes have more depth and her skin is more sparkling, and above all the perfume, a sweet smell takes my nostrils.
"Fufufu, you're too cute Senji." Rias laughs.
"Sorry..." I sigh, ashamed.
"But no need, I take it as a compliment. Leaving you speechless is a victory, you know..." She suddenly avoids my gaze, playing with her hair.
A slightly awkward silence settles over the room, so I turn to the mirror, showing us both. I feel the pressure building inside me, regretting more and more that I wanted to go to this party, if only I had a way of disappearing easily... I notice Rias looking me up and down, then she steps towards me, reaches behind and puts her hands on my shoulders, looking up at me from the mirror.
"But you're not left out Senji. That suit looks great on you. You leave me speechless too..." Suddenly, she runs her hands down my body and pulls me close. "I'm so happy to have you with me..."
