There was a knock at the door. "Honey, I think your prom date is here!" Louis's mom called from the kitchen. He got up from his seat and straightened his tux. He walked over to the door and opened it before his breath was caught in his throat. "Marcel?" He asked shocked. Marcel didn't look like... Marcel. He looked hot. He didn't have his glasses and his hair wasn't slicked back like usual. His hair was slightly curly and was pushed up and back. "The one and only." He joked. His tux was nice. His dark green tie bringing out the beautiful shade of green in his eyes, which weren't hidden behind his lenses. "Whoa." Louis stated as Marcel laughed. "Uh, okay..." He mumbled. "Wait!" His mother shouted from inside the house. Louis groaned. "What mum?" He asked turning around to see his mum with a camera in hand. "Pictures." She said smugly. "No, mum we don't need pictures. This is all just a-" He caught himself and glanced at Marcel. "All...just...a...big time...thing." He spoke slowly and unsurely. "Okay, well one photo won't screw up your 'big time thing'." She said giggling. "Now c'mon. Scootch close together." Louis mentally face palmed himself. He stepped beside Marcel and hesitantly put his arm around him.
Marcel hooked his arm around Louis' waist. It was then that Louis realized how short he was compared to Marcel. The top of his head barely reached Marcel's shoulder. He couldn't wait until this night was over. But for now, he put on a smile and just reminded himself that this was all just a 'joke'. But it was when they actually arrived that he had fun.
