Harry Hook and the blush
It was no lie there was something between a certain pirate with a hook and myself. He may have admitted it but I'd never. Things may be simpler now that Uma, Mal and me have made up and healed but I won't admit how I feel about the pirate first-mate. I'm Mal's twin sister you see. Mal really ships me and Harry as well as Evie. Carlos and Jay were more skeptical of Harry until he proved himself when he helped us defeat Audrey. I will never admit my feelings and shit. I'm not good with that kind of shit. Mal may have greatly improved but I'm still struggling.
It's the spring ball for Auradon and Mal and Evie has told me I'm wearing a ball gown, much to my dismay. It's a very formal ball and all of the men I see are in tuxes. I'm currently in a side room with Ben and Mal. Since Mal became a lady I was allowed that title too as we are twins. Her and Ben are engaged so she will be queen and I get a princess title. Also, I'm so happy but Evie has been given an official Auradon princess title. Her mother's queen status has no royal meaning in Auradon but Evie has been allowed her title back. I'm actually wearing a ball gown that Evie designed. Mal's colour is purple, Evie's is blue and mine is red. Although I'm a bit of a tomboy like twin Mal I love the fashion and the sparkles on the high couture Isle-esque gown. It's off the shoulder with a sexy slit to my hips with some ruching and a sinched waist.
The gown is gorgeous and I'm feeling killer with matching ruby red lipstick. My hair is lightly curled, loose and flowing down.
"Ready Lady Y/n?" Lumiere asks me.
"Uh huh. Sure..." I say half smiling.
"You'll be fine. We're right behind you." Mal says hugging me.
"We will see you down there." Ben says waving.
The heavy doors open with smoothness and grandeur. Immediately before I'm even at the top of the staircase I see mine and Mal's friends. Doug, Gil, Uma, Evie, Harry, Jay, Carlos and Jane stand in a line at the front awaiting me and Mal. Like Mal I'm best friends, no family, with these lot. Well, after some forgiveness concerning Harry, Uma and Gil. Me and Lumiere have almost reached the top of the staircase.
"Are you sure you want to walk alone Lady Y/n?" Lumiere asks me kindly.
"Yeah I do." I smile.
I am wearing five inch heels and boy do I regret letting Evie talking me into wearing these bad boys. My breath hitches as I catch sight of Mr Harry Hook. He's not even in his pirate garb. He wears a navy tuxedo suit type thing with his messy hair combed. Harry looks very hot I must say in the dimly lit ballroom.
"Presenting Lady Y/n!" Lumiere says grandly and loudly.
Slowly I descend the golden staircase. Everybody is staring at me and my transformation. However as much nervous I am, I strut down the stairs slowly, demurely with confidence. They shall not see me weaken. As I near I see Evie clasp her hands as Carlos, Jay and Gil starts whooping. This prompts the whole three thousand ballroom to clap for me. Harry meanwhile has his mouth hanging open with a look he's looking at me. Jay nudges him with a smirk and Harry then starts clapping too but slowly not taking those piercing blue eyes off me as he smiles, not smirks.
I reach the bottom as the ballroom quietens in awe as they coo and compliment. I go to Evie who greets me squeezing my hands. She places me in between her and Harry. The sneaky gal. Harry goes and places his arm around my waist pulling me into him as I chuckle.
"Ye look so beautiful Y/n." Harry whispers.
"You look handsome yourself Harry." I compliment him back.
I feel safe in Harry's arms I really do. I mean I'll never admit it but yeah. I'm in a trance as Ben and Mal descend the stairs with me joining in the whooping when they get close enough. Mal grins when she sees how close me and Harry are as I take in Harry's smell which is intoxicating by the way. We are close but it's fine. Then we stop whooping and start clapping including me and Harry. The ballroom quietens as Ben's parents walk down. Then the ball begins!
"Y/n walk with us?" Evie says smiling.
I nod, "Harry I'll be back later." I say.
He nods and Carlos, Jay, Gil, Doug and Ben stay there talking. Evie leads me, Mal, Jane and Uma to the punch table.
"Did you see the way he looked at you as you came down them stairs?" Evie asks me dreamily.
"Yeah everyone was looking at me E." I reply chuckling.
"Not like that." Jane singsongs pouring us some punch.
"Me and Harry are just friends." I strain.
"Just friends don't at each like that." Uma smirks.
"I bet they'll be together by the summer ball." Mal says happily.
"Girls stop." I laugh.
"I know for a fact that boy has told you how he feels about you." Evie says quietly.
"Harry came to me and Evie for advice." Mal says nodding to Harry.
"Why don't you just say you feel the same way back?" Jane asks me.
"I'm not as good as Mal or you girls with feelings." I say sadly looking at Harry.
"Girl you can't even take your eyes off him." Uma laughs.
"You know Harry has treated you to your dress." Evie points out.
"I said I was paying for it-"
"-Well why don't you go and thank Harry?" Mal suggests interrupting me.
"I know you wanted to pay me even though I would do it for free but he has treated you." Evie smiles.
"Harry come dance with me." I yell picking up my dress.
"Sure." He smiles.
Harry Hook is smiling.
"I'm going to thank him now." I sigh.
"Go get him tiger." Uma smirks.
"I'll get the camera." Jane says excitedly.
Its then I feel warm strong hands gripping my hips. I can feel his breath on the back of my neck.
"I'll see you girls later." I smile.
They just wink or wave or coo and I'm praying Harry doesn't suspect. He leads me gently to the middle of the dance floor. I curtsy to him and he bows back. We then dance. I've only learned to dance this ballroom lark since Mal had to learn to become Ben's lady. Harry is surprisingly good too. Harry does not take his eyes off me, not once and it seems there's a crowd forming around us.
"Hey." Harry says almost shyly.
"Hey." I then remember why I am dancing with the pirate, "You bought the dress for me." I say eyebrows raised.
He blushes.
Oh my god.
Harry Hook just blushed.
I made the Harry Hook blush.
"Ye I wanted to treat you lass. You've been working so hard." Harry says softly.
I think I'm gonna cry.
Jokes but he is being really sweet.
The sweet side he only shows for me.
"Well thank you." I smile.
Harry turns me and we dance so gracefully. The whole world disappears whilst we dance and talk quietly with giggling here and there. Then he dips me. Harry dips me slowly, deeply. I realise I'm staring at his lips and he's looking at mine so I decide to go for it. I connect our warm lips and it sends shockwaves through me as Harry cups my right cheek. So magical such a connection as my body goes on fire as Harry kisses me softly and sweetly. We stay in the dipped position like it's nothing like I'm light as a feather. I'm only focused on the jungle exploding in my stomach and Harry's lips. Slowly I'm lifted up and me and Harry detach our lips. I don't open my eyes straight away I just savour the kiss. I take a deep breath and see Harry has done the same, our foreheads still touching. Harry smiles at me till the chorus of cheering starts. I blush and Harry smirks as we walk back to our friends.
"Finally!" Jay shouts.
"You know M, I'd never thought a dress of all things would bring them together." Evie smirks.
