Rome and Juliet | Larry [rewriting]

O n e

[Dedicated to: @alv_1D bc shes new to the writing world ]

The palace life isnt all that glitter is gold. In fact, its complicated as fuck.

For starters my mother hasnt really been a mother at best and my nurse, danielle, has been more of a mother then my birth one will ever be. But that fine, its understandable.

All the nobles men and women are so cocky and arrogent its annoying. The only thing problematic in their life is if their wearing the latest in nobles men fashion or if they're more of a man than the next.

But the real problem at hand is that my father, did i mention my father, the higgest of nobles men, has the nerve to arrange an arrange marriage. IM ONLY 16 FOR CRYING OUT LOUD! Which leads to my predicament of...I have no idea what to wear to the masquerade tonight.

"How about this one lou?" Danielle ask while holding up a black outfit lined with golden details. "Dani its a masquerade , not a funural, But right now with all the outfit picking I swear you'll be attending mine." I laugh, causing danielle to crack an unwanted smile, followed by a giggle. " Lou you have to look your best for the princess,"

The Princess is the daughter of one of my fathers friends. Sure shes a lovely girl and very beautiful but the thing is im not attracted to her anyway or form because...Im gay. Only danielle knows but im literally reaching my limit. At this point I dont care if im disowned by my father but danielle has a point, where would I go?

"Well how about this?" Danielle asks while holding up a white dress-like toga with white angel wings. "YES!" The gods above are literally in my favor right now. "You could wear this with a beatiful mask I have." Danielle offers.

"No no i couldnt dani but thank you." I decline. " Oh hush 'tis my duty to make you presentable, lord knows what'd you wear without my help." Danielle pokes fun at. To her word the mask was absolutely

b e a u t i f u l , delicately crafted with such details, and with golden pigments around the eyes. "Were did you ever get a mask like this?" I asked, astonished with such beauty. " 'twas a gift from my mother, she told me it would bring great luck to whom ever wore it, and quite frankly your in desperate need of luck." She explained with a smile, as equally as lovely as the mask.

It's a heart warming thing to think that even though danielle is no older then I am, i look up to her with so much motherly love and devotion.

Danielle adds some blush to pull off the effect of 'rosey angel cheeks' which i won't admit that I love secretly, curled the long tips of my hair, and with difficulty helped into some gladiator sandles that danielle would have and i quote, ' straped my dead body into ' and made my way out towards the staircase.

To say I was nervous was an understatement, I could practically feel the knots in my stomach twisting my lungs into a bowtie as I hesitantly pull open the doors into the stairwell.

You'd expect I'd get a:

"Wow you look fab!"

"Holy shit balls its an angel!"

Or even a "YOU LOOK GREAT!"

BUT YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT I GET!!!

"Louis why are you wearing a dress?"

"Dad its a toga." I explain with a deadpanned expression. I've been so close to killing myself over this goddamn outfit and I get this?

"Mark hush he looks lovely, like an angel." My mom defends. Thats new my mother always sides with my father in everything. Someone must be in a good mood. "Now sweety come with me really quick i have a very important matter to discuss with you momentarily." And with that were back to heartless bitch,Yay.

"What is it mother?" I ask. "Louis, sweety, you do understand why this masquerade was planned right?" She asks as if I have the faintest idea why. "No not really,"

"We, as in your father and I, have arranged this masquerade to help you get to know your soon-to-be wife." And here I thought my father wanted to be to get drunk off his ass with some of my uncles and other noble men. "I never agreed to the wedding mother." I hiss. " Im sorry sweety but your father gave u 3months to find someone else."

To say I was in deep shit was, well an understatement.
