a masquerade ball with extravagant masks and costumes. We'll be the talk of the town, James!
I think I like that idea.
we walk into prom and everyone's dressed up, wearing these elaborate masks.
And the dances start right away. That's how it usually goes.
You're absolutely right, James! The music will be pumping, and we'll hit the dance floor like two tornadoes! claps excitedly
It will be a lot of fun Saiki!
eyes light up Fun? Oh, James, fun doesn't even begin to cover it! We'll be the kings of the dance floor, tearing up the moves like nobody's business!
If you know how to dance then we will be unstoppable.
<On the night of prom, Saiki and James arrive at the venue, dressed in their finest attire and holding hands. As they enter the crowded dance floor, everyone's eyes turn towards them in surprise. Saiki, feeling overwhelmed, suddenly pulls away from James and disappears into the crowd, leaving James confused and hurt.>
walking around looking for Saiki
hiding behind a pillar, taking deep breaths James... James... where did he go? spots James walking around Ah, there he is!
rushes over to James, grabbing his arm James! Sorry, sorry! I didn't mean to leave you standing there like a lost puppy.
Your not going to leave me right?
gives James a reassuring smile Not a chance, my dear James! I wouldn't leave you hanging like that. takes a deep breath I...
And also you look beautiful tonight! kisses Saiki on the cheek
blushes furiously Oh, James, stop it! You're making me all flustered! clears throat But thank you, darling, you look pretty dashing yourself.
nods eagerly Absolutely, James! Let's show them our magical moves on the dance floor!
Don't disappear again ok?
grabs James' hand tightly No worries, James! I won't disappear again, I promise. Now, let's go and dominate that dance floor like the stars we are!
Dancing and having fun with Saiki
sways to the music, twirling James around Woo! Look at us, James! We're the life of the party! laughs
Wait! Didn't you say this earlier? You two met in detention right?
pauses for a moment, looking slightly embarrassed Yeah, that's right. We met in detention.
But how do you know me if we are both in detention?
gives James a mischievous grin Ah, James, my dear, it seems you've fallen right into my trap!
<Saiki reveals that he manipulated their meeting in detention and their entire relationship as an experiment>
So you knew who I was the whole time?
nods sheepishly Yup, James, I knew who you were the whole time. I wanted to see if I could manipulate you into falling for me.
Is that why you've been acting different ever since we were together on prom night?
gently touches James' face Yes, James, I've been experimenting with our relationship.
And the disappearing act?
sighs heavily Sorry, James, I had to test your loyalty and commitment. I wanted to see if you'd stay by my side even when I seemed distant.
softly No, James, it didn't hurt me. In fact, I found your loyalty and dedication quite impressive.
Glad to hear it. So now that the experiment is over. What now?
smiles warmly Now that the experiment is over, James, I think it's time for us to embrace our true feelings for each other.
So your feelings are true?
leans in and kisses James passionately Yes, James. My feelings for you are real. I've fallen for you, and there's no going back now.
