Hawuuu could i request 20. Fake dating for Christmas Ball and 34. “You’re my Christmas angel.” - “Wow that was…intense.” - “Just take the compliment.” for Druig

A/N: HAWUU! I do like this idea for Druig! Thanks for requesting it, dear!

Bouquet

Summary: You needed a date for your parent's Holiday Ball. Thankfully, your best friend was there to save the day.

Warnings: Just some good ol' fashioned fluff :)

"So, when is this date of yours coming, dear?"

"Pretty soon, mom,"

You mother just grinned, walking away from you to greet the next guest that was coming through the front doors. You sighed, looking down at your watch briefly and then at your phone that was tucked in your purse, seeing no messages or missed calls. Outwardly, you were remaining calm and smiling at each one of the guests that greeted you after shaking hands with your parents. But inwardly, you were panicking.

Not panicking, you were petrified.

It was the Annual Christmas Ball at your parent's vacation home, one of the biggest events of the year with their company. You had to go every year, mostly because you were their daughter and you had to make an appearance. If it was your way, you would be out with your friends that were at the movies that same night together before they would have a sleepover at Ajak's house. But you were stuck here, in a semi formal dress and waiting on your date to come.

Your date being your best friend Druig.

This was not your initial idea at all, the last thing you waned to do was to bring one of your friends to one of your parent's parties. Your two lives never mixed, and yet now that you were older you had to attend more get togethers. Of course, those associates had sons that were eyeing you as of late, and one in particular asked you to be his date to the very ball you were attending.

Thank God for Druig coming in the clutch and agreeing to be your "date".

Druig was never one for fancy parties, not even for parties in generals. He would rather have his nose in a book or go volunteer at the shelter than be anywhere near the kind of party your folks threw. He hated it too since the charities were too self centered, but you had to agree with him on that one. You both were thick as thieves since you met in college, your friendship was so easy and smooth. Of course, you couldn't help but get butterflies in your stomach when he was around you or when he was so close to you as he helped you with his homework. The aura of Druig was rubbing off on you, a secret you would take to the grave since you never thought he would think of you like that either.

When you asked him to be your "date" to dodge a semi-creepy guy from asking you out, you assumed Druig would laugh it off. But when he did yes, you felt like your heart stopped for a moment.

You shifted back and forth on your feet, noticing out of the corner of your eye the very guy who you were avoiding seeing you at the front doors. Even the way he dressed seemed cocky, along with his smirk that screamed "Alpha Male" along with the very haircut that made you think of those sports magazine. He was starting to walk over then, the swag in his steps making you think he was going to try and turn on his charm. Of course you were thinking of what you were going to do since this was what you were trying to avoid this whole time.

"You here all alone?" He asked, trying to be coy about it with you. As you were opening your mouth, the saving grace that you needed has walked through the door.

" 'Ello, luv! Sorry I'm late!"

You both looked to see Druig, holding a small bouquet of roses in his hands as he waltzed into the foyer of your home. He was wearing a dark suit, nearly black but it was a midnight blue with his hair gelled and pushed to the side. You were lost for words in how he looked, such a contrast to his leather jacket and fitted jeans and boots and aviators.

No, he looked polished in front of you, and those butterflies were back again.

"Hi," You breathed out as Druig walked over to gift you the flowers.

"Traffic was killer coming up here," Druid said to you as he then leaned over to give you a kiss on the cheek. You were still shocked in how he looked and how he was acting to you, the logical side was telling you he was putting on his facade since it was the deal you both made. But your heart, your heart was screaming something else. Druig grinned, seeing the stunned look on the Alpha Male's face as he laced your arms together.

" 'Cuse us," He said to him walking with you on his arm deeper into the main area of the party. Of course you were silent the whole time, holding the flowers close to you as Druig was playing his part. With wide eyes, you shoved his shoulder carefully.

"Wow," You said.

"Wow what?" Drug asked, seeing you eye him up and down.

"You look.....I mean....y-you look beyond nice," You said to him in a stammer. Druig chuckled as he gestured to the suit he was wearing.

"Kingo got this for me when he heard about the party. Apparently his associates work with your parents so he knew this was going to be a big deal. I clean up pretty good don't I?" He asked, almost in his coy tone but mostly in sincerity to you. Smiling softly, you nodded your head at him.

"Yes you do," You replied back, looking ahead again before you could see the hint of blush on Druig's cheeks as you cleared your throat, "Look, we can hang out for a few moments, say hi to my folks, and then we can sneak out the back to Ajak's house if you're still up for it."

"You kidding? I'm all dolled up and wearin' a suit that is more expensive than the down payment on my truck, I'm gonna savor this for all it's worth," Druig joked with you, making you laugh as you both were making your way over to the refreshment table to grab a glass of wine, "Besides, I wanted to see you dressed up yourself since I'm used to you in your overalls and sneakers."

"It's not everyday that I wear something like this, merely for the sake of my parents," You reasoned with him as he handed you a glass before he took his own. He gave you a fond look, almost as if he was trying to read your mind.

"Well you look very beautiful," He said to you, making you blush madly, "And that bloke that was eyein' yeah didn't stand a chance since ya look like an angel,"

He made it sound so easy and so smooth, as if he was telling you the truth. Was he telling the truth in how you looked? You had to wonder, not wishing to have your mind play tricks on you again. Yet the way he showed up for you, coming to a fancy party that was way out of his element in a tux that he would never wear in his life, just for you, you had to wonder what this meant for you and your feelings for him.

"Thank you for coming, Druig. It means a lot to me," You thanked him, seeing him just smile as you looked at the bouquet in your arms, "I don't think I've ever had anything do this for me, at all. Not even ex-boyfriends,"

"Those guys were jerks and never knew what they were missin' when they dumped you," He replied smoothly, reaching over to place your hands together as you were feeling your heart beating in your throat, "And I don't know if it's because we're at a fancy party, or that you looked phenomenal in that dress, but I'm glad I'm your date."

Nothing else mattered, not even the party. You both were in your own world for a split moment and nothing else was going to break you out of that trace you two were sharing. It was such a surreal feeling to hear Druig confess that to you, being beyond gentle and sincere in his tone to show he was telling the truth. All this time you thought he was too far out fo reach for you, like a pip dream.

Now it wasn't, this was real.

"Me too," You replied with a hint of giddiness, Druig beaming as you gestured with your head again, "Come on, we better walk around and show our faces before my mother thinks I got a flaked date,"

Druig chuckled, keeping your fingers laced together as you walked side by side one another. Now it felt like a more intimate embrace with him, like a new page was turned and something deeper was set in stone. You could only wish that this was no dream, that you wouldn't wake up in your bed. If only you knew Druig was wondering the same thing, and just as giddy in holding you close.

You both walked over to the main Christmas tree that was in the middle of the hallway, standing so tall and massively wide with ornaments covering it from top to bottom. Druig whistled, eyeing the tree

"That is some tree," he said lightly, making you roll your eyes as he gestured to the Angel on the top of the tree, "Is that made out of crystal?"

"Yes, and it's been in my family for over 100 years," You explained to him nonchalantly, "My mom has threatened my life a few times when I tried to hold it without gloves. I swear, I think my mom loves that thing more than me,"

Druig snorted, then giving you one of his playful looks, "You're my Christmas Angel,"

"That was...intense," You said to him, hearing him chuckle as you shoved his shoulder playfully, "Not one of your best ones you've ever said,"

"Just take the compliment," He replied back to you as you giggled, then seeing your parents coming over in your direction. Your mother saw you two, her eyes light up in both shock and surprise as your father looked with a small smile on his lips. You were now officially nervous in how this was going to play out, since you and Druig clearly laid out your feelings a few moments before and he has yet to meet your parents.

But Druig squeezed your hand gently, seeing your nervousness as he eyed him.

"We got this," He replied to you, walking with you over to your parents with a pep in his step.

Druig ended up being your parents favorite boyfriend you've ever had, your father telling him so 2 years later on your wedding day.

The End.
