Fuck Royalty (WaluigixOC)

The Dance

After a few hours of pampering and boy talk, the princesses were ready to go to the dance. Peach was texting away on her phone at the speed of light, it was terrifying.

"Who are you texting?" Aria asked with caution.

"Waluigi," she responded flatly.

"What?! What are you saying??" Aria tried to peek at her phone but she just backed away and giggled mischievously.

"Just letting him know when to come over, and maybe giving him a few words of advice," she let out another set of giggles. This worried Aria even more. Secrecy was her weakness. "Don't worry about it Aria just go with the flow. We're going to have a lot of fun tonight," she plopped her phone on her dresser and motioned them towards the door. "Let's go downstairs for a little to talk before the boys get here," she said.

The girls made their way downstairs in their dancewear and sat in the lounge. After thirty minutes or so of some small talk, the doorbell rang. Aria stood up to her feet almost immediately as she felt her heart start to quicken. She was always nervous about social events, but she felt that it wasn't the event making her so anxious.

They all made their way to the door, but Aria stood behind the two, too scared to be seen first. She took in a deep breath as they slowly opened up the door to reveal the handsome men. She peered over Peach and Daisy's shoulders but they moved aside for her to see her date. Waluigi had a premeditated cocky grin on his face, but when he saw her, it turned to one of astonishment. She was remarkable. Her hair fell on one shoulder and her dress hugged her body, adorning her figure. Aria felt herself stare at the man just as much. He was so handsome. He had a dark purple blazer, black pants and bow tie, and a lighter purple shirt underneath. Daisy giggled at the two before grabbing Luigi's arm. Peach did the same and Waluigi took note of it. He hurriedly held out his arm for her to hold as if he had known to offer it all along. She walked over to Waluigi and held onto his thin arm. She had been waiting to do that since their trip to the grocery store. Mario and Luigi looked at each other with nervousness but Peach had given them the rundown of the whole situation, so they did not speak out against it.

"You look very handsome Waluigi," Aria looked up to him and smiled sweetly.

"Wah? Oh haha...thank you," he said awkwardly. She could tell he was just as nervous, but thought it was cute more than anything. "You look beautiful. Red's definitely your color," he added as he felt heat rush to his face.

"Thank you," Aria replied. She felt so giddy from his compliments. They seemed to mean the world to her. The couples made their way to the ballroom where they met up with some early-comers. Waluigi tried to engage in conversation with the others, but found it hard to keep the conversation up as he felt awkward in this position. He knew that the people hated him so it didn't feel right to be talking to them so nonchalantly as if they'd never quarreled.

"I'm gonna grab some drinks," Waluigi turned away and towards the bar. The others looked at Aria with questioning glances.

"I don't think he's used to this. I'll go talk to him," Aria laughed nervously and made her way over to Waluigi. He was not so slowly drinking his glass of alcohol as he rubbed the back of his neck. Aria put her hand on his shoulder. He turned around with a bitter look but changed it once he realized it was Aria. "What's wrong?" She asked.

"I just don't know how you can stand talking about bull crap with those guys. It's empty and boring," he took another swig. Aria rolled her eyes and took the drink from his hands and placed it on the counter.

"Look, I know its idle conversation with no real substance but that's basically every formal social event. It's just something people have to tolerate until the real fun happens," she said. She placed her hand on his cheek, "come on. Tonight will be great. I love seeing that confident guy with a smug smile on his face," she giggled. He was shocked at her gesture. Most people found his prideful ways to be annoying, but she found it charming. She saw that charming grin stretch across his face and it lifted her heart. The moment he stood up, music began to play. He looked around the room and saw people making their way to the dance floor. It was their time to shine. It was his time to show the Kingdom his talent, but more importantly, it was his time to impress Aria.
