Desmond Sycamore x Reader (A Night at the Opera)

This can take place anytime between the final games and is an Established Relationship with Desmond. (Just a fluffy date idea.)

(Also side note  I had been working on this one since, if not before the dancing one. So I'll try to finish up the requested ones soon.)

————————————————————————————————————

,Before you was the beautiful ornate building that was very prettily designed archway of the Royal Opera house. Desmond had invited you for a lovely night on the town, saying 'you deserved to see what the city had to offer you. '

You both greeted Raymond goodbye for now and he nodded and said for the two of you 'to have fun.' And drove off. Desmond then takes this moment to offer his arm to link with as you enter. 

He finally takes this moment to lean slightly close to your ear, saying quietly while you're in step. "You look absolutely ravishing, my dearest~"  with a casual smirk as you made your way through the glass doors and into the entry way of the opera house. You were both dressed in your best clothes. Your eyes roam over towards his direction. To get a better look at his outfit, you smiled and said. "I could say the very same to you. You look so very handsome!"

 He stood a bit taller with a big grin on his face as he slightly turned to look at you after handing his ticket to the porter. "Well, then I have accomplished one of my goals for tonight! Nothing makes me happier than stunning, my absolutely stunning beloved~" he halts after passing farther into the hall and leans his forehead against yours, looking deeply into your eyes as your noses touched. Beaming with love and light. You laugh together then he remembers.

"Oh right we need to get to our seats, the show is about to start. Sorry I got so lost in your radiance that I almost forgot why we're here." He never misses an opportunity to charm you.

As you made your way to your seats you are in awe of how grand and beautiful it was on the inside. Desmond looked at your excitedly wonderstruck eyes with such enamour. Propping his head up to continue his admiration, that when you turned back to him he quickly became aware of the state you brought him in. "Forgive me, but you were so lovely, my dear. That it completely slipped my mind entirely about the show that we came for. And was fully prepared to admire you for the rest of this magical evening~" you wave a dismissive hand "Come now, Desmond. You can't be serious." 

"Oh but I am! You have my attention wholeheartedly." He chuckles with a closed eye grin. You pause 'he's one to talk seeing as how he shines brighter that the brightest star when he laughs like that~' his eyes turned wide. A "Huh?!?" is quickly exclaimed out as a response to what you thought was a quiet reply back. Before anything else could be said all the lights are adjusted to the stage. "Oh, it's starting!" You exclaim while reaching for and holding his hand in yours. Giving it a gentle but firm encouraging squeeze. His eyes land on you again with a warm hearted smile finding its way on his face. Then turning to the stage, he already had seen this show preform before about a couple years ago, hence why his recommendation and suggestion for you to see it with him. It's one of his favourites.

Throughout the show he would glance over to you, to see when your eyes illuminate, the look of shock, joy, excitement, all of it made this viewing with you worth it and more. Now the show itself was a spectacle in and of itself. After all the special effect, story and production is wonderful but it was all the sweeter with someone to enjoy it with.

 Once you fully catch him in his glances to gauge your reactions you whisper to him "Is everything alright?" He hums and replies quietly "Of course, I just adore seeing your reactions in between moments of the show. It's quite adorable really." He then gently pulls your hand up to his lips and leaves a soft kiss to it and you take his to do the very same. Which causes him to bashfully turn away at your return of the gesture. 'Heh, even despite all his show of flirtations, still flusters at the very same done to himself. How precious!' You think to yourself amusedly.

Sometime between the show you began to rest your head on his shoulder, to which he rests his against your head as well.

At the end of the show, you go to the opera houses restaurant for dinner and excitedly discuss the happenings of the play and story. Who your favorite was and which scenes left the biggest impressions on you. Laughing and joking throughout the time. He then got on a tangent of how he love the whole production from the actors, lighting, stage backgrounds and how much it had improved from the last showing of it he's seen. 

Once your food had arrived you continued your discussion till you tried it "Oh this is quite good!" He turns to look up with a enthusiastic smirk "I would hope so. I think a lot of the food here is good but I glad to see that you're enjoying it too!" Before he looks back to his plate you say "Here please try some!" And hold out your fork for him to take a bite from. He is stunned at your request but not wanting to say no, graciously takes a bite. He did in fact like it too. Thinking for one moment that you have great taste in your choice and bashfully thanked you. "Aww, I didn't think that you'd be so cutely flustered by the gesture. But I'm happy with such a result none the less." You chortled anyway reacting your free hand to hold his and rub your thumb over it to help ease him back to your previous conversation. 

The meal was finished and paid for, Desmond and you got up to leave hand in hand. Making your way to the exit. "Did you have a fun time as much as I had?" He inquires, turning to face him "But of course! Though I think any cute date or outing with you would bring a similar resolute." 

He laughs veering closer to you "And here I thought I was the smooth one." As he did you take this opportunity kiss him. "Thank you for such a wonderful evening with you, my dearest Desmond~" his gaze softens to you "Of course, love! It is my pleasure!"
