The ball was in full swing when Lord Vanquisher made his entrance, with his ever noble knight behind him.
People bow in respect as the two make their way to his throne, where he’ll probably sit for most of the night unless he has to talk to certain people. Lord Vanquisher wasn’t much of a partying person, don’t get him wrong he loves having a break….. he just doesn’t like crowds and this wasn’t a break. His knight on the other loved dances, the music, the smiles, the cheers, but most importantly the dancing. The swaying to the music, the spins partners do……. The closeness, holding your partner close, watching the world disappear around you, locking eyes……
But he couldn’t daydream he has a duty, protect his lord, no matter the angelic music playing that’s making him sway
“Lord vanquisher! It is an honour to make your acquaintance” a woman approached wearing a white ball gown mixed with sheer lavender fabric on top, she was a tall lady with brown hair that had streaks of purple in it, done up in a bun
“Lady Claire of the kingdom of nine lives, my Queen wishes to apologise she couldn’t make it” she continued with a curt bow
Sir smiling liked the queen of nine lives because of her he found his lord again, that and their time in the kingdom of Deluxe under the rule of the dark one. Brought them together almost like brother and sister…… What got under his skin was Lady Claire, which doesn’t make sense because secretly she was with the queen of the Amazon’s, Foxy.
Him and his lord both knew that but whenever lady Claire was near, his lord became a complete mess. Forgetting to know how to speak, nervous giggles and spurting out random facts. Of course sir smiling loved it when he did that……. When it was directed at him not her. He just couldn’t help feeling jealous, it was in his dragon nature to be protective of things that belong to him…… but his lord doesn’t belong to him, he’s the lord of the land he has a duty to his people and so did he.
So he watched as his lord tried to make conversation with lady Claire, before long she invited him to dance. This was their thing, either lady Claire, lady Tennie from the cablers kingdom or Queen julie danced with His lord at these things. While he stayed on the sidelines, having to keep a watchful eye. Even if he wanted to look away when they swayed to close together.
Things started to calm down hours after the moon had risen, people said their farewells. Soon the ballroom was empty and the morning sun started to wake. Meaning sir smiling’s duty’s were done for now. He watched as Ruby the dark slayer and Thurman the magnificent took up his lords' sides leading him from the ballroom back to his room.
Sir smiling couldn’t help the aching feeling like he missed out on so much. Wishing for warmth. He decided he needed to escape from these confining armor and go for a ride on his noble steed. When entering the stable in the clothes he had under the armor. Mutt was up and ready as if she knew sir smiling needed her.
“Hey girl! Are you ready to go for a ride?. Come on let’s go”
It was hours before they returned and another hour brushing the dirt and leaves from mutts mane. When Lord Vanquisher entered the stable…….
“Hey mikey” Chuck said walking into the garage
Bringing Mike out of his daze of typing, looking up from his spot on top of mutt’s hood. To stare at Chuck
“You've been gone for hours. Did you and mutt have a fun drive” Chuck asked joining in sitting on mutt’s hood
“Of course any drive with mutt is fun, where’s Claire?” Mike asked in return dismissing his holo computer to give Chuck his full attention
“Oh Claire, she went on a date with Foxy before going back to deluxe. I find it funny how she doesn’t like it down here in motorcity but she’s gone and fell for a motorcitzen and now she’s practically one of us”
“Love can make you do a lot of stupid things”
“You cheesy dork” Chuck laughed bumping his side against Mike
Slowly Chuck got up from mutt’s hood and walked over to the work bench, Mike staring after him
“What are you doing, chuckles?”
“I think I owe you a dance” Chuck said turning back around to face Mike letting the music slowly start playing from the radio
“I don’t recoil you owing me a dance” Mike asked from his position on mutt while Chuck slowly made his way back to him
“No I don't, but I think I owe you for giving all my attention to Claire. Sorry about that” standing in front of Mike
“It’s okay, as much as I don’t like it. It doesn’t matter because I get you doing dorky things with me” Mike lifted and place his arms around the blondes neck
Rising to stand with him they slowly started to sway
“As you said before love makes you do stupid things”
“Yes, yes it does” Mike said leaning up an placing a kiss on the others lips
The continue to sway even if the music stopped
