.+*The Gala: Part Three*+.
"And. . .Here!" Fizz said as he and Ella took unhold of Blitzø, who immediately fell face first onto what looked like a marble floor. "Ow, fucking damnit." Blitzø cursed under his breath, before finally starting to find his footing and got up. Once he did, he took a look around and gasp at what he saw.
If the outside look pretty, the inside looked even more gorgeous!
The first thing that Blitzø noticed was the lights. They were also very Bright, but the bright kind that you don't mind looking at. It was also the same Blue and White lights as the ones they saw outside. Blitzø also noticed the Imp butlers, who were also dressed in black tuxedos, serving the people, or Goetias.
The biggest thing that Blitzø's jaw on the floor was the Stage. It at least had to be the biggest stage he had ever seen. It was the length of the wall, and definitely taller than his apartment. The stage also had little decorations, like Confetti, Moons and Stars. Finally, it wouldn't be a party without the guests, and man was the amount of people huge! Some were tall, others were short, but all of them were different varieties of birds. It was astonishing, since Blitzø never been in a large room full of Goetias.
Before Blitzø could think any longer, he saw a female swan starting to come up the stage. She was wearing the most hideous Red ball gown with clashing yellow heels. Blitzø wasn't the only one that was judging his outfit choices, because from the corner of his eye, he saw Fizz grimacing and clearly disgusted by it. Aside from that, she had her hair in a somewhat nice hair bun. Finally reaching the microphone, she grabbed and took hold of it.
"Ladies and Gentleman, my fellows of the Ars Goetia, welcome to the Ten Year anniversary Gala!" Suddenly, the crowd cheered and applaud at the swan, with Blitzø only recognizing her voice from somewhere, at least.
"Settle down, Settle down. . I said shut up!" Immediately the audience fell silent. "Anyway, I want to say thank you all for coming out here tonight, and I know that This year is going to be better than the last!" The Goetias laughed in the crowd, before settling down again.
"Firstly to start the night off, I want to introduce our Special and Honor guest for the evening! We are so lucky to have him tonight. Ladies and Gentleman. . . Blitzø Buckzo! Hope I said that right. ." Again, Blitzø heard a clap of applause in the crowd as he was nudged by Ella and Fizz to go on stage. So a little nervously, he started to make his way towards the stage. It wasn't like he had stage fright, it was the question of WHY he was here.
No. .
No he knew why. .
He was here to kill the prince. .
Aka Stolas. .
Aka the man he fallen in love with the last fragments of his heart. .
It was a constant battle now, because in one hand, the LAST time he spoked or even asked the question of, "Do I really have to?" he had gotten a threat by the female the she'll personally hunt everyone of his loved ones friends down if he disobeys orders. On the other though, Blitzø cared a lot for him and loved him to the fucking world, but he didn't know if his feelings would be reciprocated or denied entirely and leave him. .Just like everyone else.
This thought only came in his mind the night he was planning to confess, and was now having that thought in the back of his mind. Blitzø was so lost in his thought that he didn't realized that he was on the stage, until the swan nudged him on the shoulder to speak up.
Blitzø fumbled for a minute before taking hold of the microphone. "Oh. .uh. Hi. I-I'm very glad to be here tonight and thank you to. . ." Blitzø paused, realizing that he didn't know her name. Luckily for him, she whispered, "Erica." Into his ear. ". .To Erica for letting me be here." Once all was said, Blitzø moved awkwardly away from the microphone for Erica.
"Thanks again Blitzø for coming, and I hope you all have a wonderful night! Enjoy!" The crowd of Goetias applaud as both Erica and Blitzø stepped off the Stage. Once both of them was out of sight, Erica had pulled him into an abandoned area in the mansion.
"We finally meet Blitzø, my darling little assassin." Like a flip of a switch, all of her nice demeanor went away, and she turned into the female, or Erica, that he knew all to well. .sadly. "You must be the one that ordered the hit, right." Blitzø asked. "Yup! That's me alright."
Blitzø was kind of shocked for two reasons. First, he didn't know Erica well, but he knew her enough that he always seen her as the goodie-two-shoes lady, and not the actual devil she actually was. Second, he wasn't expecting her and she was the LAST person Blitzø though would hire someone like him. He at least thought Stolas's wife, Stella, which he learned was an abuser and the definition of a narcissist.
"Hey-Blitzø! Quit your star gazing and listen already!" Erica yelled at him like a Karen, which pulled him back into the reality he really didn't want to be in. "Going over the plan AGAIN, it's about to be 11pm, so at Midnight, you will be using this gun," Erica then pulled out an angelic gun, but it was very different than the normal ones. This one had rainbow marking on it, along with the usual white patterns. "It has one bullet in it, so you better make th shot. Also, this has to be done by midnight. You understand!"
As much as Blitzø wanted to refuse everything, he sadly knew that he had no choice and knew what she'll do if he didn't. So all he said was, "Yes ma'am." and left the area. But being Blitzø, he said quietly, "You son of a bitch." And gave her a somewhat middle finger. The minute he found his way out, he immediately spotted Ella and Fizz hanging out with Ozzie near the bar.
Hey, what are y'all doing?" Blitzø asked as he sat down next to Ella. "What do you mean, 'What are y'all doing?' We should be asking you the same thing!" Fizz said as he was getting another shot. "Don't mind Fizzy, he's already have 7 shots." Asmodeus told Blitzø as Fizz tried to kiss Ozzie.
Suddenly, Blitzø started to hear familiar footsteps from behind him. As they grew closer, Blitzø turned around to see who in hell the person was. Once he did, he felt his jaw drop and face instantly heat up within seconds.
It was Stolas in the most beautiful gown that Blitzø had ever seen. The Gown was pure black with beautiful feather covering the bodice and on the bottom of the dress. He also carried a black purse with gold chains. Finally for accessories, he had on a gold chain, a couple bracelets, and a large back bow. Safe to say, the man looked absolutely adorable and gorgeous, So of course Ella said, "Ok were going to go now, to y'know, give y'all some privacy and time together! Bye!" Before Blitzø could stop them, Ella took hold of Fizz and Ozzie and left.
And so, Blitzø and Stolas just sat there, really didn't know what to say. After a what felt like an eternity, Blitzø said something. "You look. . .very pretty Stols." He said with a blushing face. "You look handsome as well Blitzø." Stolas replied back, whilst slightly touching Blitzø's hand.
As Blitzø was returning the gesture, they both saw the lights of the room dim and the fumbling of the microphone. Then, both of them heard someone say. "Ladies and Gentleman, shout out to the couples here tonight because this is for you!" After that, they heard a song play through the speakers.
(You may play the song now! 🥰🥰🥰)
🎶 For the way you change my plans🎶
🎶For being the perfect distraction🎶
"Do you want to dance?" Stolas asked in a mumbled tone. "What did you say?" "I said do you want to dance with me." He repeated a little bit more loudly and with a slightly blushing face. "Oh. . Sorry, I don't know how to dance like that. Plus your very taller than-" Before Blitzø could finished, blue smoke suddenly engulfed Stolas, and not a second later, he emerged short, but still taller than Blitzø.
🎶And for the rare and unexpected friend🎶
"I don't care Blitzø! You can follow my dance moves or whatever, I just want you to dance. Please Blitzø." Stolas said again while holding his head out. Blitzø didn't know what to do, buy as if destiny was encouraging him, he took hold of it and Stolas pulled him to the dance floor.
The dance was awkward at first, with Blitzø fumbling with the moves of the dance. But the more he dance, the more he got the hang of it. To him, to just dance with him was a dream come true.
🎶Your the best thing I never knew I needed🎶
🎶So when you were here, I had no idea🎶
Just as Blitzø, Stolas couldn't help but be the more happier to just be there, to just simply dance with the man he came to love. He had loved to way Blitzø fumbled at first, but soon enough he had gotten the hang of it and was doing a decent job at it. It was just beautiful to him.
🎶So now it's so clear, I need you here always🎶
"Hey Stolas." Blitzø said as the two of them started to slow dance. "Hmm" Stolas responded while also looking at him. "I just want to say. .Thank you." Stolas was confused with the statement. "For what though?" He asked. "What I meant was, thank you for coming back, like you promised over twenty five fucking years ago. Thank you for being there and not leaving me like everyone else had." Blitzø said, nearly on the verge of tears.
🎶You're the beginning and the end of every chapter🎶
🎶Your the best thing I never knew I needed🎶
"Well, I can say the same thing for you Blitzø. You have also change my life for the fucking better. And I don't know what I'll do without you." Blitzø only leanded his head onto Stolas' shoulder. "How did I change your life? I'm just an imp, not some magic genie." Before Blitzø knew it, he felt Stolas lift his head up to look at him.
"Look Blitzø, you maybe an imp who has low self esteem and has his heart broken on multiple occasions by many people, but your my imp. You was there when no one wasn't, and you actually gave a shit about me. Like I said when we met after twenty five years, I've missed you ok, and I want you back in my life." Stolas finished saying as he wiped the tears off on Blitzø's face. "Okay." Blitzø said before he continued to dance again.
🎶 Undeniably Happier🎶
🎶Said with you right here, right here, next to me🎶
As the song decedent to its end, Blitzø did a small cuddle with a head nuzzle also. It made Stolas blush, but he return the affection. "Stolas, you mean the fucking world to me, my gorgeous blueberry owl." Blitzø said quietly, but loud enough for Stolas to still hear. "As do you my beautiful strawberry imp."
🎶Now it's so clear, I need you here always🎶
Once the song ended, the two of them leaned in for a kiss, but sadly it was abruptly stopped when the clicking of a gun caught everyone in the room off guard.
"Hello my idiot lovebirds."
TBC
