Amadeus smiled at Celeste, already glad he'd coughed up the courage to ask her to accompany him tonight. "Whoa, you made it yourself?" He asked, looking the dress over again. It flattered her so well that his cheeks reddened a tad at how he was staring, but he oped she took it as a compliment because he meant well. "It's fabulous. I wish I could do things like that." They were en route to the ballroom already, and seeing as it was only two buildings over he really hoped she didn't mind walking. "I'm sure it'll be a blast," he smiled down at her, adding, "I'm great at ballroom dancing and making a fool of myself, but I d-don't think I'd call myself a professional." The fact that this girl on his arm was being so nice to him was still new to Amadeus, s he couldn't help but keep a little grin splayed across his face. At the girl's compliment his cheeks flushed again and he said, "O-oh, thanks. But they're nothing compared to yours." They were almost at the door, and Amadeus just ran his free hand through his hair and hoped that he didn't completely embarrass himself tonight.

One Line Wonder || Amadeus and Celeste

Amadeus’s compliments caused Celeste’s cheeks to turn a slight color of red. She peered up at the boy with a wide smile as she kept her arm tightly wrapped around his. “Well, thank you. I tried my best,” she said with a small laugh. “You think it’s nice? I made it myself.” She peered down at her creation and her smile widened. Celeste knew that not only was the dress beautiful but it hugged her in all the right places so to say she was proud of it would be an understatement. As the pair walked, Celeste could tell that the boy was either nervous or captivated by her. It almost made her giggle to think that he was that invested into her looks. However, the silence between the two made the brunette a bit uncomfortable so she decided to spark a conversation as they strolled. “I hope this will be a fun night. Do you know how to dance well?” Celeste questioned as she tilted her head so she could peer up at Amadeus only for another wide smile to form on her lips as she noticed the boys’ cherubic face behind his mask superhero-like mask. “You have pretty eyes,” said the brunette as she chuckled.

"N-no it's not that I'm not used to the sound I just-" Am stopped himself, ignoring practically everything but pausing to look down t the floor. He added quietly, "I just didn't expect for it to hit the target." He still took the arrows from Seb, practically copying him in the actions he just finished. After shooting three or four arrows into the target without moving other than necessary he said, "See? I just-" He stopped again, not really wanting to admit that he didn't he'd be able to do it.

"S-sorry." He said, walking to pick up his arrows. "Anymore lessons?" he asked innocently, hoping that he wasn't making his mentor angry.

You'll Shoot Your Eye Out || Seb & Am

Amadeus let his second arrow fly, and Seb’s eyes narrowed slightly when he saw the younger man jump once it hit the foam target. He silently bent down to pick up his own bow and a handful of arrows. Nocking one and holding the others with two fingers against his palm, Seb’s arrow hit Am’s target with a loud thwap just has Am finished speaking. “You’re doing well, Am, but,” He let another arrow fly, not aiming for the bulls-eye, but still hitting the target with the same distinctive sound. “You’re really going to have to get used to this sound.” All it took was a simple flick of his wrist to nock another arrow, and only half a second more to draw and fire, the arrow deeply embedded into the target.

"Unless you’re holding the bow backwards, the arrow isn’t going to hurt you once you let go of it." Seb lowered his bow and crossed to the target, pulling the arrows out of the foam methodically, scooping up the one that had missed its mark. Returning, he held the bundle of sticks out to Amadeus and said firmly: "Keep firing until you get used to the sound."

Headcanon: Amadeus sometimes takes baths like these because he think they look really cool and that they cleanse his body, mind, and soul. But if asked why, he'd only tell tell the first reason.

Amadeus waited outside the door, and almost began to actually shake. He adjusted every detail of himself that could be changed about eight times before the door opened. His mouth dropped at her outfit and makeup and he couldn't help but stand there wide eyed for a moment as he soaked in her beauty. "T-thanks. You look..." He paused, trying to find the right words. After an almost awkward silence he just chose three. "Magnificent, stunning, beautiful." A blush crept onto his cheeks after the words came out, but he nodded curtly anyway when she asked if he was ready. "Only if you are," he said softly, holding his arm out for her to take. Only then did he realize that she was already ahead of him, so he took a few running steps to keep up with her. They soon fell into stride and he let a soft smile fall onto his lips as he snaked his arm into hers. "I like your dress." He said, admiring it now from a different perspective.

One Line Wonder || Amadeus and Celeste

The ball was beginning to start in just a few minutes but that didn’t mean much to Celeste. The brunette sat still and gradually in front of her vanity mirror as she applied the finishing touches of her makeup. Celeste always took her precious time to get ready regardless of the time. However, she didn’t want to take too much time getting dressed because that’d keep her companion waiting. Celeste saw Amadeus as an angelic boy and he reminded her of the only people she’d consider her friends back in Italy. The girl had a warm and welcoming heart when it came to people she believed had a certain innocence about them and Amadeus was just that in Celeste’s eyes. So when the boy asked her to accompany him to the masquerade, she accepted not only because she hated to go alone but because he was a sweetheart. As Celeste added a light shade of red  to her lips to finish off her look, she heard a light tap on her bedroom door and Amadeus’s voice coming from behind it. “Just a minute!” she yelled out while packing up her clutch with a few essential’s for the night. Once she was done stuffing the small bag with her phone, extra money and makeup, she stood to her feet and took a moment to admire herself in the full length mirror ahead of her. A satisfied smile broke out on Celeste’s lips as she ran her fingertips over the corset top of her dress and the nearly see-through bottom. She had made the outfit herself so the brunette was proud of her creation and ready to show it off. Not wanting to keep Amadeus waiting any longer, Celeste picked up her black sequined mask from the top of her dresser, slipped on her sequined Louboutins and headed to the door. Upon opening it, another smile broke out on Celeste’s lips as she took in Amadeus’ attire. “You look nice, King,” said Celeste before locking her apartment door and hooking onto the boy’s arm. She then proceeded to lead the way towards the exit. “Are you ready for the ball?”

One Line Wonder || Amadeus and Celeste

Amadeus was so excited to not have to go to the ball alone, even if he barely knew the girl he was accompanying. At first his nerves melted because he knew everyone would be jealous that he got the famous Celeste D'Angelo to go with him to the ball, but then he remembered that exact same fact and began to shake with nervousness. He got dressed, putting on his blue with black trim suit, and after fixing his hair and put on his mask (which, in retrospect was a bad idea sine it resembled Captain America's costume) he decided he'd die his hair again soon because this white was getting old. Telling himself that he promised to get her, Amadeus set out to find Celeste's apartment, and after a few moments of walking he was there and knocking tenderly at her door. "C-Celeste? It's Amadeus," he said tentatively, hoping she'd remembered him.

[kingamadeus]

After unfreezing, the only thing that Am could do was say "Oh," softly. His brow furrowed as he stared at the arrow on the floor, and for a moment he was frozen again like that. With a sigh, he flexed his shoulder and looked at Seb when he spoke. "Oh," he repeated, adding, "Thanks. I don't feel accomplished."

Looking back at the target and closing one eye, he decided to pick up another arrow. Once more re-creating the posture that Seb had placed him in, and as he placed the arrow in the right place he took a deep breath. Pulling back the string to the same place as last time, he closed one eye and aimed  bit higher than the last time. Letting the arrow fly, he couldn't help but jump a little when he heard the slam of it on the target. "Well at least I hit the bottom corner instead of the floor..."

You'll Shoot Your Eye Out || Seb & Am

Sebastian resumed his previous pose and scratched at his stubble as Am became more confident in the way he stood. He nodded absently, approving of the way Am actually held the form that Seb had corrected him into, rather than immediately dropping it like most new archers did. A pleased smile worked its way over his features when Amadeus drew the string to it’s proper length, and he couldn’t help but feel grateful that Am was a fast learner, so that Seb didn’t have to spend ten minutes repeating the simplest of instructions.

The arrow skittered across the floor and Seb didn’t react. The result was more or less what he expected of someone as new to archery as Amadeus. He merely blinked and moved forward again, intending to give the younger boy more advice, but paused when he saw the look on Am’s face. His voice was cool when he said: “Congrats, you just fired your first shot.”

[kingamadeus]

Y-you're right. B-but you just have to stay p-positive. 

Of course. Everywhere you go there is always going to be nice people, and then some that are just not too nice.

[kingamadeus]

There are l-lots of nice people, but there are some m-mean ones too. 

Yeah, I didn’t think everyone in here could be as nice as the people I’ve met so far.

[kingamadeus]

Whoa, that's so r-rad.

I’m originally from Australia but I came here from California

[kingamadeus]

Y-you obviously haven't met e-everyone. 

There are a lot of cool people. Everyone I met so far has been really nice. Thank you!

[kingamadeus]

It's n-nice, a lot of cool people. Like you. 

Really? Well how do you like it here?

[kingamadeus]

Well I'm in a lighter blue i guess so I think we'll match.  S-so how about we go get r-ready and I'll pick you up at e-eight?

You’re welcome. I’ll be donned in black but I guess it isn’t a big deal, right?

[kingamadeus]

A few m-months I guess. 

Yeah, so how long have you lived in the building?

[kingamadeus]

Totally an honor. And thanks.  Uh, b-blue?

Lucky you — it’s an honor, right? At least I’m going with someone nice. 

What colors did you plan on wearing? I hope we match because that’s important.

[kingamadeus]

M-makes sense. 

New to town, no. New to the building, yes!

[kingamadeus]

And I could escort the l-lovely Celeste D'Angelo to the b-ball. 

Yeah, we could do that. It is pretty embarrassing to go alone.

[kingamadeus]

I would take it. 

Candle lit dinner at Burger King. Boom. I’m a romantic genius, Humphrey Bogart wishes he was me.
