prom night ~ fluff

•

"skylar?" mil said. "come over now. i'm freaking out."

"what seems to be the problem?"

"i don't know what to wear, my hands are shaking so bad i can't do my makeup, my hair isn't cooperating, i--"

"shh, shh, shh." skylar said. "i'll be over in a few minutes."

•

"oh thank god." mil gasped, throwing her arms around skylar's neck. skylar was wearing a flowy pink dress with a silver belt, matched with silver strappy heels.

"here...i'll help you decide what to wear while you brush your hair, and then i'll help you with your makeup. skylar said, walking inside. "okay?"

"yeah." mil nodded. they walked up the stairs together and skylar looked at the dresses laid out on mil's bed, noting the pros and cons of each ones.

"what shoes are you going to wear?"

"probably the black ones."

"the heels?"

"yeah."

"no, no, no. your feet will be killing you by the end of the night. wear the flats."

"but they don't look good with the blue dress..."

"then don't wear the blue dress. i like the red one the best anyways."

"okay." mil said, sliding her sweatshirt off and pulling the dress on over her head, reaching around to zip it up.

"let me help you." skylar said, zipping the dress up. "okay now sit down." mil sat down in front of her bathroom counter and skylar stepped behind her and began to brush her hair.

"ow!" mil yelped. "ow, ow, ow!"

"okay." skylar sighed, tossing the brush aside. "let's just braid your hair." she divided mil's hair into three sections and began to braid it.

"hey...you never told me. how did he ask?"

"well..."

[three weeks ago]

"hey, mil." dan said, slinging an arm around mil.

"hey, you." mil laughed. "what's up?"

"do you have a prom date yet?"

"nah." mil said, taking a bite of her apple. "i don't even think i'm going."

"c'mon, mil...it's gonna be fun. there's gonna be dancing and food and kids acting crazy..."

"you had me at food." mil laughed, hugging her best friend.

"who are you thinking of going with?"

you mil thought. you because i love you and--

"mil? you're staring off into space."

"sorry...i...um...i don't know. who are you going with?"

"well...i was thinking about us going together."

"together?" mil said.

"yeah. why not. we're best friends, we both have no one to go with, and--" daniel stopped talking. "never mind. it's stupid."

"c'mon dan, what is it?"

"i kinda...sorta...maybe...umm...like you?"

"daniel." mil said. she wrapped her arms around him and pressed her lips into dan's, causing him to gasp softly and sigh, tangling his fingers in mil's hair.

"god..." daniel said once they finally parted. "umm--"

"wanna be my prom date, and boyfriend?"

"i'd be honored." dan smiled, kissing her again.

•

"'my god..." skylar sighed. "he's too cute."

"i know..." mil said dreamily. "who are you going with?"

"well...i'm actually going with aalie, but her parents don't approve, so they think her prom date is paul, jax's boyfriend, and that i'm going with jax."

"wow. tricky." mil laughed.

"anyways..." skylar said. "do you just want a braid, or an updo?" she asked.

"updo." mil said.

"okay." skylar pinned the braid up. as she sat down to help mil with her makeup, the doorbell rang. "come in!" skylar said. they heard two quiet voices, then footsteps. the bedroom door opened and in stepped in daniel and jax.

"the boys have arrived." jax smiled, tugging on the lapels of his jacket. daniel crossed his arms and leaned up against the doorframe, smirking.

"don't ever do that again." skylar laughed.

"sorry." jax murmured. "just trying to add some class." daniel flopped down on the bed and flashed mil a smile.

"you look beautiful." he smiled.

"i'm not even wearing makeup..." mil blushed.

"still." he smiled.

"skylar!" jax whined. "i have to meet up with paul in fifteen minutes!"

"why?" skylar smirked.

"shut up, you nasty." jax said, sitting down on the bed, a creak emerging from inside the bed. "hey, mil. did you ever fix this after you two--"

"that's enough jax!" mil said, cutting him off.

"a-and....done." skylar smiled. "you look great."

"thank you!" mil smiled, looking in the mirror. "thank you so much!"

"god..." dan sighed. "you look...wow..."

"that you, dan." mil said, standing up on tiptoes to kiss him.

"let's go, lovebirds." skylar said. "we've got some dancing to do."

•

"can i get you anything, princess?" daniel asked, squeezing mil's shoulder.

"some punch would be nice." mil said.

"kiss him, for god's sake." skylar hissed. "he clearly wants to."

"and i want to as well...it's just that i don't know if he's going to want to continue being with me."

"mil, he loves you. there's nothing to worry about."

"you sure?"

"promise."

•

"god...i love this song." daniel said quietly as thinking out loud by ed sheeran began to play. "it's so romantic." mil looked around at the other couples that were dancing, including aalie and skylar right next to jax and paul.

"c-can we?"

"of course." daniel put his hands on mil's hips and pulled her close as mil placed her hands on daniel's shoulders.

the two swayed in silence for a few minutes, just enjoying the moment. then mil looked up and dan and caught his eye, trailing her gaze down to his lips. he leaned down and kissed her with such passion she thought her heart was going to explode.

"fuck..."

"what?" daniel said.

"i-i think i'm in love..."

"me too, millie." dan said, kissing her again. "me too."
