(Y/N) p.o.v.

It was finally time for the welcoming ball, they honestly didn't have to though, showing me around the kingdom was warm enough.

I opened up one of my bags which I packed just for this occasion, I took it out and put it on slowly as to distract time.

I hate things like this but I guess I'll have to try and enjoy it, right?

I was finally convincing myself to go out when someone came in my room. "Just checking on you, are you okay?" Asked a small voice that peered in.

"Yeah, I'm coming.." I said and turned to the door, there stood a beautiful sight, I mean he looked nice but... I'm not gay am I?

I shook the blush off my face and walked to the door, I put my arm out and waited for him to grab on. "My lady?" I asked as he softly gripped my arm. "Don't push your luck." He replied lowly and I laughed.

I don't know why but.. there's something about this boy that can do things to me.

We walked down the hallway reaching the door and I was about to open it but his grip on my arm got tighter. "You can wait out here until you're ready, come find me when you walk in." I said and opened the doors.

I walked in without a partner so many.. lovely.. young ladies came and asked me to dance, I'm not one to down a dance because it's in my nature.

After a few swings here and there I finally reach where the royal family was, I was dizzy but I made it..

"You should have gotten here sooner if you didn't want to be spun like a top." Cassandra said, she was standing next to Rapunzel who was just now dragging Eugene to the floor to dance.

I wish that could be me with someone, anyone really, heck.. I'd even settle for one of the guys I met in that pub!

My parents are really pushy with me marrying a woman from another kingdom.. I'm glad I got this invite because other wise I'd be hitched and unhappy...

...I don't want to go back home...

Varian p.o.v.

After a few deep breaths and hugs from Ruddiger I was finally ready to go in.

I stood at the door and placed my hand on it. "You can do this.." I said quietly to myself and push the door open.

I walked inside and headed over to one of the sides of the room, I know what (Y/N) said but what if I mess up, I feel like he's going to make me dance and I'm it ready for complete embarrassment yet.

I end up getting to caught up in my thoughts that I didn't notice the man in front of me asking me to walk out on ball room floor. "Hello, can you hear me?" They asked a bit loudly.

"Uhmm, yes what do you need?" I answer as they grab my hand and lead me to the dance floor.

... I don't think I gave this goober an answer so why is he touching me in general?

He pushes me close to him and I do my best to push away, I'm not physically strong so wow, noodle much!?

"You're so pretty!~" He says bringing his hands down to my waist. "That's nice but keeps your hands where they belong." I growl and push on the man once more.

I would hit him but that would draw attention to me and I don't want that, not with how I look.. after a while I got tired so I stopped to give myself a break but I guess this is what he was waiting for, he leaned in and tried to kiss me.

"What are you doing?" I ask frantically putting my hand over his mouth, he looks at me with an unhappy glare and grabs my hand. "What are YOU doing, this is a ball we're just dancing." He says acting like none of what just happened never did.

"Look, this has been nice but I don't want to dance anymore.." I say with a nervous smile as I tug on the man's hands which were still on my waist.

"We're having fun right?" He asks sweetly and I decide to heck with the nice act. "No, you can't just walk over to someone and make them dance, and stop touching what's not yours!" I say but get flustered at the last part that just slipped out.

"Well then, who's are you then?" He asks angrily tightening his grip on me, you know how I said no more Mr. Nice guy?

I slapped the man and walked off, what a pervert!

I sit back down in the same chair I did before I was forced to the dance floor, let's hope no one else has to deal with him, what a disgusting excuse for a man.

I just watch the people dance as the room gets emptier and emptier over the hours, I was getting tired sure but that's what happens when you sit in a chair for an entire ball.

I was drifting off to sleep until someone came up to me. "I didn't see you tonight." Said the voice and I looked up to see (Y/N). "Oh, I'm sorry, guess I busy just... Sitting here.." I yawn out.

He gave a small chuckle and stood me up. "Come on let's go get you to your room." He said but I didn't feel like walking, nope, not up to it.

"Can you carry me?" I ask and there was nothing but a small silence. "Of course my lady." He says and lifts me off the ground bridal style.

I was too tired to tell him not to call me that. I shrugged it off and dug myself into his chest before finally falling asleep.

(Y/N) p.o.v.

I let him fall asleep, to be honest I should have went in with him.

I exited the ballroom and walked to his room, I didn't know where it was but his pet did and he gladly guided me there.

I followed and we eventually got to the boy's room, I open the door with the help of the boy's little friend and when it opened I laid him down and tucked him in and walked to the door.

But that's it, I walked to the door but I didn't walk out, instead I looked back at the young man who was now cuddled up with his raccoon.

I smiled and walked out the door.

...

Okay I actually want back in and kissed his forehead no big deal, but when I did I felt just a bit happier then usual.

I left his room and walked to my own, there was nothing else to say about my day besides it was a great day and an even better night.
