#VCevent: gala

[vcxxangel]

Alucard held onto Blue’s hand as they walked through the gala. It wasn’t until the other excused himself to the bathroom that he was actually paying attention to the other people in the room. The nagging sound of his sister’s voice pierced through his thoughts and he inwardly groaned. Now, it wasn’t that he disliked his sister it was the same as with Dragan. They bagged him and made him feel like he was a piece of shit. At least, that’s how he interpreted it all. With a roll of his eyes, he turned to the eldest Jeup.

“We’re dating.” He responded, not choosing to elaborate any further, fear that she’d say something bad about the cerulean haired beauty. “You and I both know I don’t bring toys to events.” He spoke as if the mere thought of the conversation was boring him to death. “I see you came alone. Doesn’t surprise me. This night is already pretentious and boring as fuck. Why make it worse by spending it talking to you.” He smiled, showing her that he was, in fact, only teasing.

“Why did you come? Is it because of tradition? Couldn’t stay away either, right?” He hummed, thinking about how the three of them had been coming to the gala for years, now. “Wait, did you actually come alone? You should have at least brought a play thing. Makes this night go by a lot faster.”

     the gala, dotted by a sea of nameless faces. the usual practiced smile that squirms at her corners, subtle crescents pulling across her features accompanying the slight nod that works through on rotation. almost too practiced by now that it seems natural. she takes a glass of champagne upon the tray the waiter’s tray, glass fiddling betwixt her fingers as hues narrow on the golden colour that peers through the glass. carmine dress hanging from her shoulders, wrapping tightly against her frame as her hair falls over her shoulders, obstructing the intricate detailing of lace against her back. 

     within her peripheral, she catches the glimpse of a familiar silhouette, she turns to see her troublesome brother accompanied by another figure. amusement lacing at her features, countenance lighting up with slight surprise, slight bemusement moving across her lips as they tug upwardly into a subtle smirk. she’s quick to let her heels swiftly glide against the tiling of the venue, the gentle clicks that echo from each step pacing closer to her brother. it’s a rarity to see him ever brining anyone along with him to an event, let alone to let them accompany him at such a high profile gathering. intrigue plaguing her reverie. 

     a hand coming to rest on his shoulder, “alucard.” she coos, her tone is gentle lacing with a sense of teasing fun. “who was that i just saw you with?” taking the glass to her lips, taking a short sip, “new boy toy, hm?” it’s only natural she would think that way, considering her brother’s history.

Alucard had been on cloud nine the past two weeks. Sure, they hadn’t know each other for long but that didn’t change the fact that Alucard was completely whipped for the blue haired elf. FaceTime calls, text messages, quick food trips and a date had really gotten Angel thinking about something long term with the other. He’d never thought of being with just one person and still wasn’t exactly sold on it but he thought maybe he could see that with Blue. Was this too soon? He asked himself that every time his cold heart seemed to beat back to life whenever he laid eyes on the other man.

“Perfect. Be there in ten minutes.”

He put his phone back into his pocket and looked over his black ensemble. It was very on brand for him to wear all black to any event he was going to. Grabbing his keys, he locked up and headed out.  He wasn’t looking forward to seeing his siblings but if it had to happen he’d rather it happen in a controlled setting. They seemed to get extremely petty when they were in private and he didn’t want Blue to have to deal with the drama of the Jeup siblings.

He pulled up to the familiar building and shot Blue a quick text, letting him know that he had arrived. He was nervous. He wanted Blue to have a good time but he also knew that his family wasn’t the most normal. The fake smiles that would linger throughout the night were also a concern of his. He knew that eyes would judge them and he couldn’t care less but he didn’t want Blue feeling uncomfortable.

His eyes landed on the vision in white. “Fuck.” He whispered to himself as he got a good look at his lover. They’d only slept together once but he had half a mind to skip this gala and make it twice. He looked incredible. “You’re beautiful.” He greeted as he reached over, opening the door. “You sure you want to go to the gala?” He joked. “I hope you know I probably won’t even attempt to keep my hands off of you, tonight.”

A different way to spend the night w/ @vcxxangel​

The elf mulled over his look in the mirror, he was only clad in his slacks and a tank for the moment being, not wanting to get his hair products on the sleek jacket he’d gotten from their store. Tiny fingers turned and twisted ringlet curls in his head, the pale blue looking like ocean waves in the fleeting light of the day. He was a bit nervous, he and Angel had only been seeing each other for a little bit and he hadn’t been really immersed into his world yet, and vice versa. The vampire had told him he could possibly run into his sister and the rest of his family during this event, and it made him nervous.

He’d spent hours on the smoky red look, even added little red jewels to his cheeks beneath his eyes, and a vampy tint to his lips. It’d been awhile since he’d gone all out for an outing, fashion was his entire life and he’d rarely got to express that in a high class or high fashion way, sticking mostly to work and casual outfits.

With a gentle sigh he figured he couldn’t toy with his looks much more, there was nothing left to enhance. He strolled over to his small closet, picking a pair of white boots to match his ensemble, settling at his vanity to slip them on before making his way back to the mirror, picking up the matching jacket and shrugging it on, wrapping it around his thin frame and tying it, allowing the belt to hang a bit. He felt good, and the nervousness was now settled into how his lover would feel about the whole ordeal, outfit and all. He spent the last two weeks dodging the elder’s question about what he was going to wear wanting to surprise him.

Blue waited a moment before texting Alucard, snapping a few posed photos of himself to post on his fashion account later, then finally typing out a sweet message to tell him he was ready.

‘Can’t wait to see you, ready when you are!”
