Parenthood | A Devie Fanfiction

First Date: 1

"How's this?" Evie asked Mal as she twirled around in a periwinkle dress, stopping to admire herself in the mirror.

"Its great." Mal deadpanned in a monotone, causing Evie to frown.

"M! You werent even looking!"

Mal rolled her eyes and glanced up at Evie before her eyes returned to her phone screen.

"There! Ive looked!" She said.

"Mallory Bertha..."

"E, im sure you looked great in all your dresses, even though i only looked at the first 5. Why do you care so much? Doug loves you for who you are. You dont have to go outta your way to impress him."

Evie sighed and trudged towards Mal's bed, sitting on it. "Its our first date Mal, we've hung out alot of times but this is... official. I want to look special."

"Fine." Mal said, exasperation clear in her tone. Standing up, she walked up to Evie's closet that was bombarded by arrays of blue apparel and looked through before pulling out a dress. It was a plain royal blue dress with a heart shaped opening at the back and a thin red belt.

"How's this?" Mal said, thrusting it to Evie. Evie looked back nervously, as it was a known fact that fashion was not one of Mal's strong points. However, Mal's choice surprised her thoroughly, in a positive way.

"M!" She exclaimed, and pulled the dress speedily but gingerly from her best friend before embracing her in a tight hug.

"Its perfect! It doesnt scream "Im trying too hard", but its pretty and says "im serious about our relationship"!"

Mal raised an eyebrow, confused, but just shrugged and pushed Evie lightly to go change.

After changing, Evie put on her signature red lipstick on and put on blush, with upward strokes, of course, before adding her eyeliner and mascara etc. Then, she fixed up her blue hair till it was straight at the top but had small ringlets at the bottom while Mal returned to the bed to text Ben. Finally, 2 hours later, she was ready. Gingerly placing her favourite tiara on her head, Evie put her choker in place and got her plain red heels out. Twirling around in front of the mirror after getting an approval from Mal, she beamed at herself, satisfied. Not long after, the room bell rang.
