Vintage x Emperor

(*Sweats in realizing I like writing fanfics about Vintage more than any other character  (・・；)*)

(Anyways, this one's specifically for my really close friend again! :>)

The incident happened on a perfectly normal, lazy day, Vintage scrolling on his phone in the middle of the afternoon when the door opened to his house.

"Greetings, Vin!" Emperor chirped, The X-Rank looking up in confusion at Emperor's sudden cheerfulness. In his hands were what looked like an outfit of some sort, being hidden by a drape. Vintage and Emp had been dating for about a month now, mainly in secret from the public. Having Emperor this bubbly normally meant that he was giving Vintage a gift, or he had an idea for where to go that night. Vintage assumed the former, due to the hidden outfit the monarch was holding. Then again, it could be a fancy outfit for a gathering...

Vintage decided to question Emperor about it. A simple, "What are you holding...?" causing a tiny giggle from the other.

"So I had an ideaaaaaa...I saw this outfit while I was shopping and I thought it would look good on you." Of course, the occasional dress-up sessions that Emperor had, Vintage mostly not minding most of the choices. They looked quite good on him, and it wasn't like he'd ever be able to afford those kinda things himself. Now slightly more relaxed, the X-Rank chuckled a little. "Alright, alright. What's it this time?"

Emperor pulled off the drape, revealing...

A maid dress.

That definitely took Vintage by surprise, Emperor smirking at the stunned X-Rank.

"Wh- why- why did you get me this-"

"Why not?"

"but WHY"

"Why NOT?"

"W H Y THOUGH-"

After a bit of banter that repeated for about a minute, Emperor chuckled a bit. "I just thought it would look pretty on you." smiling even more at the sudden appearance of blush on his partner's face. Cute...

"Emp, you know there's no way I'm wearing that..."

"Awww, come onnn..." Emperor pouted. "It would look good on you, and I did spend a lot of money on this-"

"I thought you didn't care about money?"

"I don't, just wanted to persuade you to try it."

Vintage sighed and finally gave in to Emperor's offer, causing him to clap a little in victory. The X-Rank couldn't help but smile at Emperor's happiness, something he honestly enjoyed more than anything.

"You're not allowed to take any pictures, though." Vintage remarked as Emperor was just about to reach for his phone. "Aww, come on, really? You'd look absolutely gorgeous! At least one picture?"

After a bit of silence, Vintage nodded, looking embarrassed although he hadn't even tried on the dress yet.

"That I can show to Prince?"

"NO-"

"I'm joking, I'm joking-" Emperor laughed, making Vintage not help but laugh along. Secretly, Vintage enjoyed this, mainly because moments like these with Emperor were rare, due to their relationship being secret. If the public got news of this, what would happen? There were far too many possibilities, so times like these where they didn't have to worry about being found out were some of the best.

"Look, no-one can see the picture other than you, and it can't have my face in it." Vin remarked as Emperor handed over the outfit.

"But your face is the best part!" 

"EH???" Vintage couldn't help but get extremely flustered by Emperor's compliments, afraid he might get a fever from all of the blush. Looking at the dress, Vintage realized it was probably much easier to get this over with sooner than later. Heading into the his bedroom, he sighed. Better make this quick.

"My cod, you look ADORABLE!" Was the first thing Vintage heard as he entered the gathering room in his(?) new dress, along with Emperor's clapping. It was...surprisingly comfortable, something the X-Rank wasn't exactly expecting. Nevertheless, it was still embarrassing, the blush on Vintage's face refusing to fade away as Emperor couldn't help but smile at his partner, still feeling a bit of pity for his situation.

However, it was still worth it.

"How long do I gotta stay in this...?" Vintage sighed, Emperor thinking for a second about that. "Just let me get a picture, and twirl around a little bit!" That statement causing Vintage to stutter a tad bit too much, his emotions swirling around in his mind. Hesitantly, he spun around slowly in the dress, Emperor applauding in response, once again showering the X-Rank in compliments.
  After the picture had been taken, Emperor once again proving to be an expert photographer, Vintage wasn't going to admit it, yet he sort of liked the feeling of the outfit, although he knew that he could never wear it outside. The amount of embarrassment was something the X-Rank couldn't take.

"Alright, you had your fun, I'm taking this off. NEVER mention this to anyone, got it?" Vintage couldn't help but smile while saying that, Emperor giving in and giving the X-Rank a small kiss.

"Okay, okay."

"Vintage?" Emperor opened the door to Vintage's room later that night, only to be met with Vintage sleeping soundly, wearing...the maid dress?

"What the- Vin?" Emp got on the bed as well, laying down right next to his boyfriend, who had now just woken up, looking quite exhausted.

"...what do you want...?" The X-Rank grumbled, clearly still tired.

"Why are you wearing the dress?" The monarch inkling asked, Vintage just mumbling "...it's comfy-" as a response. Emperor smiled, wrapping his arms around Vin and snuggling him softly, noting that yes, that dress was comfy, as they fell asleep in each other's arms.
