"Okay so when you get it there what are you going to say to Y/N-chii?" Kise bounced around Aomjne thrilled.

"I don't know! And stop bugging me it's annoying."

Then, a pair of bold red scissors along with spray bottles, combs and other supplies flew closer to the beast.

"Akashichii!!" Kise squealed in delight.

Akashi Seijuro, he was the head of the army but he surprisingly turned into a red scissors. Maybe it was because of his deep obsession with his favorite weapon.

"I have come to congratulate the stubborn and arrogant prince we are looking after." The scissors said.

"OI."

Akashi chuckled. "Is he nervous?"

"YEAH YOU BET." Aomine growled.

"I am absolute Aomine. What I say is always right." He smirks. "And are you defying me?"

Aomine shivered, "N-no sir.."

"I just didn't expect this shitty dance would happen so quickly."

"Relax. You can bring your lucky item with you. It's a kettle, nandayo." Midorima suggested.

"What the— Yeah hell no."

"Aominechii! Remember, confess to the girl at the right moment. No rush but be careful of time."

Aomine fell silent. He wasn't the type to show his emotions so he was for sure nervous since it'd be the first time. The two of you would occasionally say I love you's before but that was when the both of you were little, not to mention you lost your memories due to the curse.

The three noticed his silence. (A/N: Murasakibara baby I'm sorry I couldn't involve you with this;; It breaks my heart huhu)

"You care for the girl don't you?" Akashi asked even though he already knew the answer.

"I guess.."

"Then I will just assume that you do for you are just too stubborn to admit that." Akashi chuckled.

While waiting for you, he paced around the corner fidgeting. Not until Midorima bonked his head.

"Look presentable idiot. You want to impress her don't you? This is a dance, nandayo."

Aomine huffed in aggravation.

He badly wanted your wish to come true. He knew that you wanted to have your royal dance badly ever since you were young. Yes, he remembered after all this time.

But then, his attention turned to the door which opened revealing you exiting the room. The scowl that was painted on the beast's face disappeared as he examined your features. His mouth was slowly a gap.

They really went all out on your dress. The dress was absolutely breathtaking and gorgeous. You could tell that it really was made for you. Making your way towards the center of the stairs, your dress' movement fluidly followed your steps.

Aomine was stunned by your dress and this whole ballroom event. He expected it to be plain and boring but it exceeded to his expectations. For a moment, he forgot all about the dance and continued to admire your astonishing beauty.

Of course everybody went giggling and chuckling at Aomine's face. He just couldn't take his eyes off of you. His eyes held a sparkles as he watched you getting nearer to him.

"Looks like someone's lovestruck."
"He's definitely in love."

You felt fireworks in your stomach hearing them. Yes, you heard them and it sent your cheeks ablaze.

Kise and Midorima nudged him as soon as they noticed his state too. This caught him off of his trance making him notice that he was ogling at you for too long.

Aomine cleared his throat and loosened his collar a bit as soon as you stopped in front of him.

You finally looked up and gave him a welcoming tender smile. His body tended up. Now, he could see you even clearer and better.

You wore light make up but your natural beauty still stands out. It was only enough to make your face pop and glow.

'I can't believe they did all of this. She actually kind of looks-' Aomine stopped himself. Was he really about to think that you looked cute? He shook his head. 'Gaddamit. Come on, pull yourself together.'

Your hands held both of your gown's sides and slightly kneeled down, bowing.

Aomine lowered his head and his arm crossing his chest while the other is at his back, also bowing. It felt strange and foreign him to do formalities for it was such a long time that he danced with a woman. Luckily, he still remembered how you two would dance together before.

And so, he held out his arm making you latch yours around his. You looked at him softly and showed him one of the many gentle smile you always had.

Aomine's chest tightened feeling hot again all of a sudden. It was the same feeling before. The same feeling when he's around with you. But right now, what he felt was stronger.

The two of you walked down the stairway that had a red carpet on. Everyone in the castle could see the obvious feelings the both of you held for each other.

With Aomine's birthday and the curse's deadline just in two days longer, the objects made sure of it. They'll make sure that the two of you will confess tonight.

➭ ➮ ➭

So far, everything was just as planned. The conversations you had with Aomine were great and the atmosphere complimented tonight. It was magical and romantic.

Then, the music began playing.

The lights around you and Aomine went dim. The both of you then took this as a signal to proceed to the center of the dance floor,

Once you two were in the center, Aomine placed his paw on your waist while you placed your hand on his chest since his shoulder was far too high for you to reach. Youthen reached for his other paw and intertwined the both of your fingers.

You moved your closer to him which took him a back a little by how close you two were. He had forgotten how your addicting warmth lingered in him.

And you two began.

You locked your eyes with each other the entire time and during that time, you noticed something different within him. While his face held his default expression, his eyes were soft and gentle. Holding care and desperation. And you could feel how his change was extraordinary making you feel even more inclined with the beast.

For a moment, for one small moment, you two forgot you were dancing, letting your feet carry away as the two of eyes remained locked at each other's.

Aomine's chest tightened even more. He felt this strange and foreign feeling.. A feeling that he had dearly missed for a long. It felt nostalgic, bringing back treasured memories. It was almost getting harder to breathe.

Unexpectedly, you rested your head against his chest, lovingly and caringly snuggling against it. Your cheeks turned warm red too. To you, he felt like a huge warm teddy bear.

His eyes slightly grew. This was something bold. Your eyes slowly closed.. enjoying ang loving the moment.

It felt like something was coming back to you. A missing piece of a puzzle that you just couldn't put your finger at. It felt so... familiar to you. Like it had already happened.

It was like you were pouring all your emotions out.

Aomine unconsciously smiled looking up above to see the objects silently cheering for him.

As the song came up into a close, Aomine twirled you one last time.

The lights were off now as well as the music, and you two had stopped dancing making you both exit the ballroom.

And at that moment Aomine had finally realized the feeling. It was a warm and good one. A feeling that he knew he had learned to never let it go again...

"Dai-Chan you silly goofball! You look like a walking stick awkwardly dancing." You cringed.

The boy shot her an annoyed look.

"Yeah sure! A royal fancy stick."

"Oh my goodness how am I friends with you."

"What can I say? Am I not just love able?"

The young girl sighed and face palmed going nearer to him as she reaches her hand out towards him. He looked at her confused.

"For a prince, you don't really know much of dancing."

He shrugged, "I don't like dancing. It's not like I want to dance with anyone else. Besides, if I were to dance, I'd only dance with you!"

That made her blushed. Oh young puppy love.

"If you're gonna dance with me you'd have to learn it." You smiled finally reaching out to grab his hand.

He widened his eyes once she placed his hand on her waist and the other laced around hers while her other rested on his shoulder.

"Follow me Dai-Chan. It's ok if you step on me by the way! It's your first day after all." She grinned

The boy faintly flushed red and proceeded to follow you.

That was his first dance. A dance filled with occasional mistake but it was memorable to him, considering that you taught him how to.

Days passed by and he continued to dance with you every night while holding a conversation.

"Dai-Chan?" The girl caught the boy's attention.

"Hm?"

"I want to dance at the ballroom. Selfish it may sound but a young girl can't help but dream right? Center of attention and at the crowd, imagine that... and then, you know.. with lights focusing on me and you.."

"Me?"

"Yeah.. If I'm going to have my first royal dance, it's have to be my partner! Prince Aomine Daiki." She cheerfully said.

"Then you will."

"What?"

"I'll make your wish come true. I'll make you my princess when we grow up. That's a promise!"

She giggled, "Then an oat it is Prince Charming!"
