❛ FINRAL ROULACASE ❜
Does it ever drive you crazy, just how fast the night changes?

Staring at the mirror, you kept turning around, spotting any defects on your dress. Is your make-up okay? Isn't it too much? The hair, is it properly combed? You don't know! Thus, this dress isn't really approved by your mom. She said it was too showy, but this gown was gifted by the man you're going to date tonight so, end of a question.

This is your first date! With a Magic Knight, for crying out loud!

With Finral Roulacase, to be exact.

"Are you okay, Y/N? It's about time.", your butler called.

Oh my God, oh my God! Fanning yourself using your hands, you tried to calm yourself down. Calm down, calm down, calm down! It's just a date, a dinner. You're just going to eat with a man, no more, no less. No need to get nervous. Grabbing your shoulder bag, you stormed out of your room. Making your way outside the mansion, you saw Finral patiently waiting for you, both of his hands stuck in his pockets.

And his tuxedo, oh God, it looks perfect.

He's perfect.

"I...hi," Do you even call that a greeting?!

"Hi, Y/N."

Why...is his voice so calming?! Holding out his hands, you accepted it, shaking. Calm down, idiot! Calm down, is it that hard to do?!

"So, where do you want to go to-"

"R-Restaurant!" Goddammit, why are you shouting?!

Finral laughed, snaking his free hand on your waist, making you jump in response.

"Calm down, Y/N," Yes, he's right. Calm down! 

You nodded before looking at his magnificent face. My, my, he's prettier than me! You laughed shyly before jumping inside the car as the latter, on the other hand, suited himself on the driver's seat.

The ride was calming and Finral's topics are endless. It's a good thing, really. Next thing you knew, you were a laughing mess beside him. You both ate in a fancy restaurant but there's just a little bit of commotion when your food isn't immediately served, Finral started questioning the waiter. Hoping it didn't turn into a major fight, you dragged Finral out of the venue.

"That was a stupid waiter!" He exclaimed, shoving his hands into his hair.

"It's fine, Finral. W-We could just go somewhere else."

You reprimanded until you realized you both haven't eaten your dinner. Mentally grunting, you just disregarded the situation.

"I know a place."

Ending up on a skating rim, Finral was boastful. Not in a bad way, but he kept on telling you that he's just so good at this and he's friends with the ice. Laughing, you took off your heels before putting on some skating gears. Of course, you're holding onto the railings as Finral started roaming, a little bit shaky though, in the middle of the ice.

"F-Finral, are you sure you can do it? I mean, let's just take it easy."

Laughing, he showed his very cute smile. "Of course I can, Y/N-chan-whoa!"

"Finral!"

He ended up bruising his arms as he fell onto the cold ground. You immediately came for help, guiding him back on his feet. Some people tried to help the both of you as you ended up on the infirmary. A nurse applied first aid on his small wounds and cut as you looked at Finral worriedly.

"I'm sorry, Y/N-chan."

"You don't need to act tough in front of me, Finral.", you finally spit out.

"I mean, you don't have to do things that you really can't do in the first place."

Smiling, you put a hand above his. Finral was shaking but as soon as he felt the warmth of your fingers lingering to his, he became stable. He was blushing, obviously, but you chose to throw the uneasiness in the atmosphere.

"I like that way you are, already."

He was speechless. "W-What?"

"Don't make me repeat the same sentence twice."

You laughed, giving him a reassuring hug. Even though your first date with him is kinda...messy, it's still fun and memorable. Good thing you calmed down already, or else, it'll be a bigger mess.

"I like you, Finral."

"I like you too, Y/N-chan. Even if the night changes."
