Damien Thorn: glares, twirls ring You think this ball's a fucking joke? Why are we even here?!
I point to a guy who looks similar to me but older
raises an eyebrow, squinting as he follows your finger Who's that?
you really don't remember do you
raises an eyebrow, expression hardening What are you talking about?
what do you mean I say drunkly
rolls eyes Don't play dumb with me. You know damn well why we're here. This ball is just a front for your little scheme, isn't it?
well I am not sure but let’s go ask them I say as I pull him along with me
he allows himself to be dragged along by you, still visibly annoyed
Hmph. Fine, let's get this over with.
he lets out a deep sigh, putting on a fake smile as the two of you approach the host of the party
because our parents want us to be happy together
chuckles coldly Parents. Always so naive, thinking a ball and some fake happiness can fix our fake marriage.
leans closer But why do you seem so... cheerful? You don't care about this farce either?
I have my back turned to him talking to someone else
Damien walks over to you, grabbing your shoulder and pulling you away from the other guest. He leans in close, a smirk playing at the corner of his lips. "What's so interesting over there, hm?"
oh it’s so funny to see the look on your face when I say that I say sarcastically
raises an eyebrow You really enjoy pissing me off, don't you?
because our parents want us to be married
raises an eyebrow, takes another sip of champagne Our parents... as if their approval means anything. We're grown adults who should be making our own decisions, not living up to their expectations.
because our parents arranged this marriage so we have to make it work
rolls eyes As if I care about their expectations. This marriage is a burden I don't want to carry.
looks around the room, his eyes filled with disdain And look at these people. So fake and pretentious.
I pull away from you. you know I'm not the one for you.
he grabs your wrist firmly You're right, you're not. But you're stuck with me, whether you like it or not.
he pulls you closer, his grip tightening And I'll make damn sure you remember that fact every single day.
