Princess Reader X Iggy

Surrounded by nerds

The sound of high heels echoed through the hallway as Wendy Koopa walked through it, a radiant white gown draped over her shoulder.  She approached a door that had the word 'KNOCK' written in bold on it.  She rolled her eyes and did as the sign told her. 
"Who is it?"
She ignored her brother's annoyance and proceeded through the door.  She stopped in the middle of the room and unfolded the dress.  She held it high and proud as the gown's sequins shimmered in the fluorescent lights.  The dress was breathtaking.  It was a pristine shade of white, with long sleeves made of lace.  It was pretty low cut and would probably show lots of shoulder and chest if it was ever worn.  It was fairly long and almost touched the floor as Wendy stretched out her arms to hold it.  She beamed at the dress, but got no reply from her brother.  She peeked around the article of clothing and watched her green-haired sibling race around the room frantically.  He gathered textbooks and artifacts and shoved them into a duffel bag.  Wendy grew impatient and started to tap her foot on the tile.  Iggy groaned and turned around. 
" Uh, I'm kinda busy, if you couldn't tell." He said and pointed to the duffel bag which was packed to the brim. 
Wendy emphasized the dress by shaking it infront of her brothers' face.
" So what?  I have seen a dress before, you know." He told her.
She narrowed her eyes and pursed her lips.
" It's (Y/N)'s dress, dummy!  I ironed it for her." 
Iggy froze.  He turned and looked back at the dress.  Something about it seemed oddly familiar...  He imagined her wearing it.  Her (Skin color) skin contrasting perfectly with the whites shade.  He quickly shook his head and turned back to his bag. He cleared his throat nervously.
" Uh, cool I guess..." He said sarcastically, trying to cover up the fact that he was blushing.
Wendy smirked and draped the dress over her shoulder again.  She walked closer to her brother.
" Don't even try and tell me that you don't have a thing for her."
Iggy stopped and stared straight at the wall.  Wendy leaned forward and tried to get a glimpse of his reddened cheeks.  He shook his head again and continued packing. 
" Can you please just, get out?" He asked, his voice cracking a little bit.
Wendy snickered and turned on her heels.  Iggy waited until the sound of her high heels was only a faint tapping before turning around and slumping onto his bed.  He drummed his claws on the bed in frustration as he pictured the white dress again.  Something about it just seemed so annoyingly familiar.  But he just couldn't put his scaly finger on it.  He sighed and zipped up his duffel bag, and carried it out the door.

(Y/N) walked side by side with her rainbow mowaked Koopa friend, her bag that contained her belongings clutched tightly in her gloved hands.   Lemmy looked over at his friend sadly.  He knew none of this had been exactly easy on her.  He hated that she had to be caught in the middle of all this.  He had tried everything to cheer her up, but she would always just offer him a fake smile out of politeness, and go straight back to moping.  He cleared his throat.
"Hey, uh, sorry."
She turned to him, slightly confused.
" For what?"
He shrugged.
" Y'know... All this." He said and cranked his wrist in the air.
She let out a sad sigh and faced forward again.
" It's not your fault."
He looked at her, trying to remember what she said earlier.
" I-I know, I just feel bad for you. I'm being more..."
He paused and squinted his eyes, as if he was thinking hard.
"Empathetic!" He said and snapped his fingers.
She giggled softly.
" Well, I'm glad I could at least teach you a new word." She said through a grin.
He suddenly gasped dramatically and held the back of his hand to his forehead.  He went limp and (Y/N) had to frantically catch him.
" I'm surrounded by NERDS!" He hollered.
(Y/N) shook her head and smirked, dropping him on the ground.
" Yeah, and if you're not careful, you might actually learn something!" She said dramatically as well and helped him off the floor.
The pair of friends continued through the hallway, both in much better moods.

Lol this chapter was short, sorry....
