The next day came sooner than you had hoped, but on the bright side, you were able to sleep until the afternoon. It was like you were on cloud nine, you hadn't been able to sleep that late since forever.
Eli had given you the dress he got from Hana, and now you were changing in a separate room.
You placed a hand on your hip and your fingers to make a v position at your chin, while you stared at the dress and judged it. It was mediocre, not too fancy, but not too casual.
Oh, how you hated fancy clothing.
You narrowed your eyes on the dress. It was medium length, so it went right above your kneecaps. It was a deep, jet black color, but you didn't know if you liked that or not. It had long, silky sleeves that went to your wrist, and a bateau neckline.
You hummed, mumbling under your breath, "Guess I have nothing else to wear.." As you slid the dress on, you continued to groan and mumble, "Hate this stupid mission. Why couldn't I get one where I could wear my normal uniform?!"
Once you looked into the mirror, you were honestly kind of surprised, it was a perfect fit to your figure. You scratched your cheek awkwardly, "Something's.. missing.." Your eyes trailed to your hairpin in your hair, making you come to a conclusion.
You plucked your hairpin out of your hair, before putting your hair back up into a full bun. A few strands of (h/t) fell loose in the front, but you were way too lazy to fix it.
You turned to Hoshi, who was sitting on a table before scooping her up and onto your hand, "Alrighty then.. lets goooo..." You slid open the door to the room before walking out and into the shared room.
Eli and Zenitsu were already finished getting dressed up, each of them wearing a simple tuxedo. The only difference was that Eli wore a navy blue one, while Zenitsu wore a orange-yellow one.
You snorted, "Wow. Look at you two all fancied up.. might as well start talking like you're from the United Kingdom!! Pip pip, cheerio!"
Eli snickered, "Why, I indubitably am from Great Britain, luv! And might I say, you look absolutely atrocious!" You nudged him playfully, "Oh, like you look any better!"
Zenitsu snapped his head towards you, beginning to swoon, "(Y/N)-chaaann!! That dress suits you so well!! Marry me!! We're destined to be together-"
"Nope!"
You then raised a brow, "How the hell are we gonna be able to bring our swords into the party? Even if I hid it under my dress.. it'd still be completely visible.."
Eli scratched his cheek, "Ohh uh.. didn't think about that part. Maybe we can like.. hide it somewhere? Yeah.. we could do that!" You poked his shoulder, "Annndd what about Hoshi, smartass?"
Eli shoved you away from him, "I don't know, man! Why are you asking me this?! What about the nincompoop that came with us?!" Zenitsu began to screech, "I'M NOT A NINCOMPOOP!! YOU'RE THE NINCOMPOOP, IF ANYTHING!!"
They began to butt heads.
"OH REALLY, AM I NOW?! TRY GOING WITHOUT CRYING FOR TEN MINUTES TOPS AND THEN WE'LL TALK!!"
"OH, WILL YOU CAN IT ALREADY?! THIS IS WHY NOBODY EVEN LOVES YOU!! PLUS, I HAVE GOOD REASONS!!"
"I'M THE ONE NOBODY LOVES?! YOU LITERALLY GET REJECTED BY 10 GIRLS A DAY!! YOU BEG PEOPLE TO MARRY YOU!!"
"YOU FLIRT WITH EVERY ATTRACTIVE GIRL YOU SEE! DON'T EVEN START!"
You chimed in, stifling your laughter, "Yup. It's true, I'm attractive and I can confirm!!"
Eli snapped his head towards you, before physically recoiling and gagging, "YOU- YOU ARE NOWHERE NEAR ATTRACTIVE, UGH-! JUST THE THOUGHT OF FLIRTIN- UGH! MAKES ME SICK!"
Zenitsu butt heads with Eli once more, "SHE IS VERY GORGEOUS TO ME!!"
"THEN YOU NEED GLASSES, BITCH!!"
"I'LL SHOW YOU WHO NEEDS GLASSES ONCE I'M DONE WITH YOU—!!"
The chaos that ensued went on for a solid ten minutes. It ended in you pinching Eli on the forearm, making him surrender.
Zenitsu glanced down at your feet, "What th- (Y/N)-chan?? Where are your shoes??" You blinked, "Oh shoot, where are my shoes??" You turned to Eli, "Did Hana give me a pair to wear or something??"
Eli pointed over to a pair of high heels, making you gulp, "Oh yeah, she dropped off some shoes over there while you were changing. Do us ALL a favor, and put your nasty dogs away!"
You shuddered, "I don't know how to walk in high heels though! I've only ever worn Converse and shit! Maybe even some light up sketchers when I was little but.."
Eli stifled a laugh, "Well, whose fault is that, then?! Not mine! Now for the last time, put your damn ground grippers away!" You rolled your eyes, "If I bust my ass in the high heels, so help me god, I will strangle you!"
You shakily strapped them onto your feet, before standing up slowly and unstable. You clung onto the wall, looking frantically between the two boys, "What do I do now?!"
Zenitsu outstretched a hand, trying to be a gentleman, "Take my hand, I'll help you!" You deadpanned, before lightly sighing and hesitantly taking his hand, "Alrighty then! If you make me fall.. you'll never see the light of day ever again."
Zenitsu slightly shivered while he nodded, "Eek—! Okay, okay! Now just step forward one step at a time.. it's not too hard to get the hang of.." You shakily took a step forward, making a huge thump on the ground.
Eli snickered, "If we had our phones, I'd be recording and making fun of you right now, just so you know." You shot him a glare, "Why don't you wear a pair of high heels then, hotshot?!"
You took another step, but rolled your ankle in the process, making you yelp. Zenitsu caught you before you could fall, "Ah! (Y/N)-chan, are you okay?" You hesitantly nodded, "Yesn't?"
Finally, after the day had passed, the moon was beginning to rise upon the horizon, meaning the party was going to start soon. The three of you bid farewell to the Wisteria House, before making your way to the party.
Turns out, walking in a city full of people wearing high heels was harder than you thought. The main factor being having to weave through crowds every 5 seconds.
You groaned once you tripped over your foot, "Is there any way I can like.. ditch these high hells or some shit?! They're so fucking annoying!" Hoshi chirped in agreement while Eli snorted, "No way. This is way too funny to watch!"
Zenitsu lightly winced while shrugging, "I mean.. at least it's only for tonight..?" You turned to Zenitsu, "How the hell am I gonna kill a demon while in these fuckers?!" Zenitsu halted his footsteps, his face turning pale.
He began to shake before squeaking out, "E-Eh? A demon.. at the p-party..?" Eli raised a brow, "Uh, yeah? Have you been living under a rock this whole time? Why do you think we're dressed up to sneak into it in the first place??"
Zenitsu began to freak out, "WHAAAT?! NOO!! NOOO!!! I DON'T WANNA GO ANYMORE!! I THOUGHT THE DEMON WAS IN THE CITY, NOT THE PARTYY!! UWAAAAAHH!!"
He pounced onto you, squeezing your waist while be crumpled to the ground, "(YYY/NNNNN)-CHAAAANNNN!! SAAAVVVEEE MEEEEE- ACK!!" Eli pulled him back by the collar, "WILL YOU SHUT UP?! YOU'RE MAKING A SCENE!!"
Everyone around began to stop and stare, making the situation even worse. Out of instinct, you put Eli into a chokehold to shut him up, "WILL YOU.. BE QUIET?! YOU'RE THE ONE MAKING A SCENE!!
Eli struggled in your grip, dropping Zenitsu in the process, "LET GO OF ME.. ASSWIPE!! I'M GONNA BUST YOUR ASS ONCE I BREAK FREE!!" Zenitsu began to panic, before trying to pull you back, "(Y/N)-CHAN!! LET GO!!"
You tightened your grip on Eli, "LET GO OF ME YOU MORON!! CAN'T YOU SEE I'M TRYING TO MURDER ELI?!" The crowd whom surrounded the three of you let out gasps of surprise, followed by whispers.
"Did she say she's trying to murder that poor boy?!"
"They must be going to the annual ball! They're dressed so fancily!"
"Someone call the cops! They're wack jobs!"
Zenitsu heard these comments, immediately panicking more, "THAT'S NOT TRUEEEE!! IT'S A MISUNDERSTANDINNNGGG!!"
Police began to surround the three of you, making you instantly unwrap Eli from your grasp. You scratched your cheek awkwardly, "Heeeeyyy.. champs..! So uh.. we have to go somewhere sooo.. uh.. yup!" Hoshi nervously squeaked, hiding herself behind your neck.
The police raised their batons, "You, girl! You're coming with us on the account of attempted murder! Don't make this any harder than it has to be!!"
Zenitsu shook his head frantically, "W-WAIT!! OFFICERS!! I KNOW THEM BOTH.. AND THAT'S NOT WHAT WAS HAPPENING WHATSOEVER!!" One of the policemen raised a brow, "So, you were associated with the attempted murder?"
One of the civilians who were watching the ordeal, shouted out and pointed at you and Zenitsu, "Are those swords hidden in their clothing?! They were definitely trying to murder the poor boy!"
Zenitsu began to freak out in the background while you turned to Eli, "Heh.. so the thing is.. I got uh.. sorta carried away!" Eli clutched his throat and wheezed, "You crazy bitch! You almost fucking murdered me!" You hissed back to your chocolate haired friend, "It was a chokehold of love!"
You then grabbed Zenitsu and Eli by their wrists before booking out of there. Zenitsu then exclaimed, "UWAAAHH!! WE'RE GONNA GO TO PRISON AND DIEEEE!!" You called back to him, "LESS COMPLAINING, MORE RUNNING!!"
Eli huffed and puffed as he ran, "I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS IS HAPPENING!! THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT, ZENITSU!!" Zenitsu shot him a look of betrayal, "EHH?! IF ANYTHING, IT'S YOUR FAULT!!"
You let go of their wrists before whistling to your beloved companion, Yue. Soon enough, she came flying down from the sky. Once you caught sight of her, you began to call out, "Hey, Yue! Lead us to the venue!"
She picked up her pace, "CAAAWWW!! FOLLOW YOURS TRULY!! CAAAWWW!!" Passerbys gawked at Yue in slight panic and confusion, "Did that crow just talk?!"
You each weaved past civilians in a frenzy, and soon enough, after a few minutes of sprinting and hiding from the police, you reached the outside of the venue. There was a long line to get into the party, guarded by security, which turned out to be in a fucking mansion.
The three of you hid behind a nearby wall scooby-doo style, catching your breaths. You thanked Yue briefly before letting her go. You then turned to Zenitsu and Eli, "So, where the hell are we hiding our swords?" Eli smacked his lips, "Uh.. we could hide them here..?"
Zenitsu piped up, "G-Guys.. on second thought.. w-we should just go back t-to the Butterfly Estate..!!" You and Eli ignored his comment, "But isn't that too far? If a demon attacks or some wacky shit like that, I won't be able to get to my sword and protect the citizens.."
You paused for a moment before snapping your fingers, "Oh, I got it! What if one of us sneaks in with the swords, and hides them in the building? Like uh.. under a tablecloth or something!!"
Eli and Zenitsu gave eachother a side glance, before simultaneously putting a finger on their noses, "NOT IT!!" You flailed your hands around in a panic, "EH?! BUT WHAT ABOUT MY HIGH HEELS?! I CAN'T DO IT ALONEEE!!"
Eli snorted, "Oh, don't be that way! You literally have Hoshi with you! So in a way.. you're not alone!" Hoshi cocked her head to the side with the mention of her name.
You exasperatedly sighed, "But- You know what, fine! I'll do it myself! Hand me your goddamn swords!" Zenitsu and Eli handed you their sheaths containing their swords, to which you snatched pettily.
You then rolled your eyes, "If we're gonna do this, you guys gotta create a hell of a distraction. If you don't, this whole mission can be compromised! So don't be your usual moron selves! Got it?!"
Zenitsu gulped before shaking his head rapidly, while Eli playfully shoved you, "Uh huh, yup. If you want a hell of a distraction, say less!" He tugged Zenitsu by the arm before making his way towards the front gates, "Let's go, pissy pants!" Zenitsu whined in Eli's grasp, "You're gripping my wrist too tiiiiiggghhhttt—!"
Once you made sure they were on track, you lightly sighed to yourself, "Alrighty.. don't fuck up! This should be easy.. right?" Hoshi nuzzled your cheek, giving the extra confidence boost you needed.
You snuck to the side of the building, clasping the swords and the sheaths in your hand. Whilst you did so, you watched the scene Eli and Zenitsu would make.
Soon enough, Eli and Zenitsu were facing security, when Zenitsu suddenly collapsed to the ground. Eli began to 'panic', "SOMEONE HELP! PLEASE!!" You snuck closer to the gates once the security guards turned their attention to Zenitsu and Eli.
Then, what happened next made you stifle your laughter, something you never thought you would set your eyes on.
The security guard began to give Zenitsu CPR.
And all Eli could do was stand there and watch helplessly.
Zenitsu was surprisingly committed to it, allowing the security guard to nearly crack his ribs. Then, the security guard went in for the mouth to mouth.
You bit your lip, desperately trying to contain your laughter. You yearned to watch what would happen, and then make fun of Zenitsu, but the security guards were oh so perfectly distracted, and it was a perfect chance to sneak in.
And so, you tiptoed through the gates, tripping over your feet multiple times in the process, before making your way into the party. Once you set foot into the venue, you immediately got called broke in a million different languages.
There were two spiral staircases, leading up to a small balcony that lead to hallways, that towered over a gigantic, marble floor. On the sides, were too many tables and chairs to count, followed by an entire consort with violins, harps, etc.
There was an entire buffet table, that held hundreds of different foods and drinks that took up an entire side of the main room. The main thing that caught your eye? A whole ass diamond chandelier hanging over the marble dance floor.
You gawked at the scene in shock, before snapping back into reality. You looked frantically for a good hiding place for the blades. Originally, you were going to place them underneath a table, but there were so many, and you'd easily lose track.
You made sure to keep the swords out of sight as you hastily moved on the sidelines. In your peripheral vision, you caught sight of a huge potted plant, and got figured it would be a good hiding place.
You sped walked towards it, before hiding all three swords and sheaths behind it. You clapped and dusted your hands off, before turning your head towards Hoshi triumphantly, "Hell yeah! That's how it's done, bitch!"
A man carrying a tray of food walked by and offered you some, "Excuse me miss, care for some shrimp?" Your eyes became starry as you frantically nodded, "Don't mind if I do!" You popped the shrimp into your mouth and watched as the man walked away.
You clasped your cheek with your hand, "Is this how it feels to be filthy rich? I could get used to this! If only we weren't on a mission.."
Not long after, you watched as a disgusted Zenitsu and a hysterical Eli walked up to you. You couldn't help but let out a snicker, "Hey Zenitsu, how was that mouth to mouth action, eh?"
Zenitsu aggressively wiped his lips, "IT WAS HORRIBLE!! ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE!! I DIDN'T KNOW THAT WOULD HAAPPPEENN!!" He then snapped his head towards Eli, "AND YOUU!! ALL YOU DID WAS WATCH AS HE ALMOST BROKE MY RIPS AND DO MOUTH TO MOUTH ON MEE!! YOU EVIL BITCH!!"
Eli burst out into laughter, "OH MY GOD, (Y/N)! YOU MISSED THE SHOW OF A LIFETIME!! THAT WAS— PFFT— THAT WAS PEAK ENTERTAINMENT!!"
You couldn't help but join in on his laughter, "I SAW MOST OF IT!! BUT I DIDN'T GET TO SEE THE ACTUAL MOUTH TO MOUTH ACTION!! PFFT—!"
Zenitsu cupped his cheeks with his palms while violently wailing, "ITS NOT FUNNNNYYY!! I BASICALLY FACED DEATH ITSELF!! YOU GUYS SHOULD BE THANKING MEEEE!!"
In the end, you and Eli in fact, did not get the chance to thank him.
